A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

“When walking like a snake, what’s needed is to increase the range of motion in the joints.”

Enkrid had learned the snake walk from Audin, and on top of that, he added the Pixie Captain’s swordsmanship. He also combined the techniques from Ragna's sword style, alongside everything he had seen, learned, felt, and experienced.

The concept was simple.

‘The sword style of Yu Ken Shik is about blocking, flowing, and scattering.’

It’s a swordsmanship where the priority is to tire the opponent through their own efforts.

The original creator of the five sword styles, Leonecys Oniac, had defined it this way, and those who had mastered Yu Ken Shik followed the same approach.@@novelbin@@

‘Do I have to follow this exactly?’

Though Enkrid may not have been the first to think of this, it was possible that he was the first to shape it, embed meaning within it, and turn it into a sword style.

That’s what he had done.

The idea was simple: Use the flow to create an opening and strike simultaneously.

He would scatter the opponent’s attack while pushing his own sword forward.

The idea was simple, but to implement it, one needed sharp senses and years of sparring experience.

And Enkrid had that.

But if he just flowed and swung the sword like this, the strike wouldn’t be as powerful.
In fact, it was difficult to put even half the power into it.

So, what was the solution? If strength was lacking, it could be made up in other ways.

If the weapon were sharper, that would solve the issue.

Just a light graze would be enough to cut.

Enkrid placed his sword on a sharpening stone. He sharpened the blade.

The cursed sword, Tutor, which had been reforged into a legendary sword, was sharp enough to compensate for any lack of power.
