244 Breakthrough Into Awakened Rank

Crack!

Eren's regular mana core cracked at the time of his breakthrough. His infinite mana core on the other hand just metamorphosed into an Awakened rank core.

This was when he was clashing with Arto. Both of them were unrecognizable from their previous selves. They both looked bloody and had numerous wounds on their bodies.

Eren had lost the protection of his Hex armor at this point. He had activated the bear tattoo on his chest and retracted the armor because it had lost all its defensive properties. And keeping the armor on was now detrimental to his agility.

The battlemage had been forced to fight with an exposed torso and pants that barely clung to their places in their worn-out and tattered condition. Even his axes had been damaged after they duked it out with Arto's sword.
