99 The sword that shines and the darkness that dies

After endless injuries and hardships, the female titan finally reached the city wall, pierced the surface of the city wall with her hardened fingers and climbed up quickly. 

For some strange reason, Eren in her titan form did not stand up and attack again, but was stunned. But under Takashi's keen observation, she used Eren to get everything under her control from the start! 

Hange Zoe was immediately shocked, "We can't let him escape!" 　　 

"She has no chance to escape, she's completely desperate and there's no action that will take her out of our reach." Takashi said with a serious expression. 

Mikasa, who had already been lurking under the wall, flew up to a considerable height with her three-dimensional maneuvering equipment 

"Swoosh!" 

Like an eagle hunting its prey, Mikasa swooped towards the female titan and cut off the ten fingers of Annie's hands that were clinging to her only way out of this place, the female titan fell off the wall with a desperate expression. 

"Come down, Annie!" Mikasa said with a calm look.　　 

The female titan who fell from the wall gave priority to her hand healing and with her last strength looked at Miaksa who was clinging to the wall with indifferent eyes, the female titan inserted her hand into the rubble and grabbed a handful of dirt with stone and threw them at Mikasa. 

Mikasa nimbly dodged the debris thrown in her direction, but the pressure was too much and she had to flee the scene. 

The female titan did not try to chase her, she wanted to climb back up the wall in a last attempt to get out of the city. 

Nile Dok on the high wall looked at Erwin and Levi who remained silent, looking at the surroundings, "Looks like they failed again, they will pay a heavy price for their actions." 

Erwin and Levi didn't respond, they both stared at the female titan who was about to attempt to scale the city wall again. 

At that moment, Takashi, who had found the right opportunity, had already moved at a terrifying speed. In midair, he unsheathed his sword that always accompanied him everywhere and Chakra flowed from the edge of the blade through his limbs.　 

The edge of the blade trembled, the sword in Takashi's hands glowed a bluish color and he could swear that this attack would cut through anything in this world! 

"Whistling!" 

Hearing the sound of the wind breaking behind her, the female titan turned around and threw a punch, her eyes met Takashi's crimson eyes for a brief moment. 

"Takashi will cut them all to pieces, humanity will at some point take revenge!" Marco's words rang suddenly in Annie's ears. 

Without hesitation, the female titan struck with all her might with her right hand. 

Takashi in midair, under the enormous tension of the retractable rope stretching and the Chakra bursting with force, his head bowed body spun madly, all the while holding the sword in his hands he began to spin with a flash of power! 

With nothing to slow him down or support him, Takashi concentrated the Chakra on the soles of his feet and began to attack. 

"Swish! Slashhhh!" 

His sword slashed along the female titan's arm, piercing deep into her skin to her bones and leaving a devastating burst of blood! 

This scene shocked Annie who was inside the female titan, before she could react, Takashi, who had been running in a straight line, had raised the blade of his sword to her shoulder. 

The female titan also braced herself and opened her mouth, she would not let Takashi hurt her anymore, if Takashi rushed towards her neck, he would risk being bitten and split in two! 

It's a pity that Takashi's fighting methods don't relate to any of the soldiers! 　　 

"Shua! Shua!" 

In a few seconds, Takashi released the sword from his hands and in just an instant pulled out two blades from his waist and thrust them into the female titan's eyes, blinding her sight completely. 

The female titan unconsciously shielded the back of her neck with her only remaining hand with strength and stiffened her palm. 

However, Takashi would not go for the back of the female titan's neck. Instead, he released both handles of his swords and again held on to his sword and with both hands slashed a dozen times at the female titan's throat. 

"Chss! Shua! Chss!" 

Takashi not only attacked the right side of the female titan's neck, but also seized the moment and rushed to the left side and slashed the female titan's intact arm protecting her neck. 

In three forceful cuts Annie's arm was left dangling from her body. Now Annie's neck was completely unprotected. 

"This is the end, dear friend!" with a whisper, Takashi vented all his resentment and attacked with all his might. 

Although the damage to the female titan's body was mainly focused on her neck and shoulders, the demonstration was too aggressive.　 

The female titan losing her strength, knelt on the ground. 

"Shua! Shua!" 

Without the slightest pause, the edge of the sword in his hands continued to cause damage to the female titan's throat. 

According to the information, the female titan can concretize healing on a specific part of her body, so Takashi naturally wasn't going to give her that chance. 

Moving to the other end of her throat again, Takashi this time attacked her jaw.　 

Takashi felt a tingling in his body and every limb of him exploded in force, the fury and venting of losing many friends now discharged as a cascade of attacks. 　 

The damage to the female titan's body was irreparable, Takashi was now proving that he didn't need to use his Susanoo to defeat an intelligent titan.　 

With one last attack, Takashi swept the edge of the sword, an edge that was refined by none other than Aldous, a blacksmith who died at the hands of the titans in the Trost district. 　 

"Soplo!" 

Blood splattered everywhere from the female titan's neck, staining the surroundings of her body and in an instant most of her head had been severed. 

With a final burst of blood, the female titan's head fell to the ground and she dropped to her knees. 

"Bang!" 

As the steam grew more intense, the headless body of the female titan with the severed arms fell to the ground. 

The scene was extremely bloody. Due to the hardened skin on the nape of the female titan, Takashi didn't cut its neck, but cut off most of its head from its throat to its jaw! 

"Whistling!" 

The gendarmerie members who were watching, even Marlowe, gasped, they had never seen how the others cut the titans, but this demonstration was definitely not common. 

The violent scene of cutting off the female titan's head scared them a little. 

But they weren't the only ones surprised, all the Survey Corps soldiers felt chilled, the sword demon was doing justice to its title. 

"Haha, unbelievable! You cut off his whole head..." Hange Zoe was immediately thrilled. 

Armin, Jean, Petra and all Survey Corps members didn't have such a strange heart. They all felt a little tingle. They also cut titans,but this scene is as cruel and weird to watch as looking at a titan that speaks human language.

Nile, the head in the gendarmerie on the upper wall, swallowed saliva and couldn't help but feel a little scared. He had seen this young cadet before and was very impressed with his bravery. After all, he had a great impression of Takashi at Eren's trial. 

He knew from the reports that Takashi was a strong soldier, but he didn't expect him to be an uncontrollable demon! 

Captain Erwin flashed a smile. Naturally, he wouldn't be scared of this scene, he knew who Takashi was familiar with after all. The female titan was consumed to the limit of her physical strength, so it was not possible for her to transform again. 

With Takashi's excellent control and strength, Erwin's confidence in letting Takashi this time be the one to command the attack was the right thing to do. He didn't care about success or failure, he knew that somehow or another Takashi would take care of the female titan. 

Levi raised his eyebrows, thinking that his nephew had now become a monster just like him, though he didn't think it was shocking, especially since he had done it before, but the way Takashi swung his knives showed him that he had become an excellent warrior.　 

And now, even without Levi's help, they had defeated the female titan. Levi waited patiently for some other intelligent titan to intervene, but it seems he thought too much.　 

On the field, Takashi, who was drenched in warm blood and could not keep his eyes open, did not stop. 

He walked to the back of the female titan's neck. 

Takashi looked at Annie inside the female titan's neck, he wanted to finish her off without hesitation! 

"Shua!" 

Suddenly, Takashi who swung his sword towards Annie saw her close her eyes, lying on the back of the female titan's neck, tears running down her haggard face. 

Takashi's hand holding her sword trembled slightly but she was not going to stop, she had already lost the last chance to negotiate.　　 

However, the dazzling rays of white light began to radiate everywhere and the sword heading towards Annie vibrated steadily, and her feet felt a slight tingling. 

Just as Takashi was about to instantly flee, heavy footsteps were heard in the distance and Eren in his titan form had moved towards the female titan. 

"Takashi, watch out!" shouted Hange Zoe, it seems Eren had come to himself to attack the female titan, but everyone knew that the battle was already over. 

Takashi, who was plasmid on the back of the female titan's neck, turned his head towards Eren and this time he felt him differently. As if this wasn't Eren and was controlled by someone else. 

"Everyone get away!" shouted Takashi, but when he wanted to retreat, he didn't have time to hold his swords to get out of this place. 　　 

"Bang!" 

Eren's fist in his titan form headed towards Takashi directly, by this time Takashi had already prepared himself and used the first form of his Susanoo. 

A curtain of steam formed and Takashi went flying, his body covered in bones made of purple Chakra, he shot out towards some houses. 

"Levi, take over..." Erwin Smith said as he saw that everything had gotten out of control. 

"Tch!" Levi and the squad on top of the wall headed towards Eren in his titan form, just now Levi could swear that the blow wasn't meant for the female titan, but was directed towards Takashi. 

"He is our enemy, he does not seek freedom!" 

"An anomaly, he must not exist!" 

The voices in Eren's head echoed again until he lost control and began to vent his fury on the female titan's body. However, it was too late, layers of a hard, transparent glass-like material continuously covered the female titan's body, enveloping Annie in a crystal prison. 

"Eren!" shouted Armin and Mikasa, they saw Eren hit Takashi and didn't know how to act right now. 

Eren in his titan form let out a roar before falling to the ground. His power had been exhausted and he was now unconscious. 

When Levi arrived, he looked at Eren who was in Mikasa's arms, looked at the soldiers and ordered, "Keep an eye on Eren, if he makes a move, don't hesitate to kill him." 

"Yes, sir!" 

... 

"Do you think I'm some kind of person with a strong sense of justice?" 

"Sorry, I don't know you well enough to know that about you." 

"A person like you wouldn't understand a weak woman like me." 

"Crack!" 

Takashi came out of the ruins of a building, a moment ago Eren had just attacked him, but that wasn't his problem. "Damn, that bastard he just did just now..." 

His eyes deactivated and he slowly walked outside, just now if he didn't make use of his Susanoo's first form, Eren might have killed him. 

"He wasn't unconscious?" Muttered Takashi under his breath. Just now he thought Eren had no chance to resume his fight, but it turned out that he lost control once again. 

"Was it really a mistake?" Takashi frowned, he wanted to think the best but his instinct told him otherwise. 

"Takashi, are you feeling good?" A large number of soldiers approached Takashi, just now they saw how he was sent flying by Eren's punch. 

"Yeah, how's the situation?" Takashi asked with some dizziness. 

"Everything is under control, the female titan is covered in a foreign material and Eren has lost consciousness."

After a while, Levi and Mikasa approached Takashi, wanting to check if he was okay. He could only reply that he was fine, I would live less but I was fine.

With a new three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, Takashi returned to where the female titan and Eren were, he watched as a large number of soldiers looked at him with a serious expression.　 

Just now they all watched as Eren lost control, they didn't know how to act so they could only watch him. 　 

Mikasa looked at Takashi, who was covered in blood and said, "We couldn't get any information out of him..." 　 

"He's a damn mess, his hardening ability was able to use it this way." 　　

Sighing, he walked towards Commander Erwin not far away and said, "If I had stabbed her just now, I could have interrupted her crystallization, but it seems Eren was controlled by his feelings and interfered." 

Mikasa watched him go silently, she found out that he wasn't as strong as she thought. 

Takashi raised his head and looked at the hole in the wall where the female titan had grabbed when she fell, and the face of a titan emerged in it. 

"This is a mess..." Takashi muttered under his breath. 　 

There are a lot more secrets in this world than I imagined!
