124 TTW Chapter 124: Almost Complete
At the same time,
A loud explosion, accompanied by a massive shockwave.
Even Lin Yi, who was far away in the palace, could hear the commotion.
It seemed that Hanji had taken action.
With the strength of the Survey Corps, the presence of the Dark Guards wielding Quinque, and the assistance of the Ghouls, dealing with a Female Titan should be relatively straightforward.
However...
Lin Yi pondered for a moment. Dealing with the Colossal Titan might not be as simple.
"Leave it to me."
Having known Eto for so long and cooperated for so long, Lin Yi's thoughts were easily understood by him.
He proactively spoke to ease the worries.
"Can you handle it?"
"Tch..."
Eto's pride was suddenly awakened. After all, she was the One-Eyed King; a mere colossal-sized toy could hardly be her opponent. "You better spend your time with your beauty."
Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head. Eto, leaped into the air, transformed mid-air, her blood-red eyes appeared, feathers covered her body, and in an instant, she soared into the sky.
"Wow, is this the transformation of Miss Eto? So cool."
"I heard that this is a special potion developed by the King after extensive research. It's said to be specifically designed to deal with Titans."
Whispers from the surrounding guards did not escape Lin Yi's ears.
No wonder Eto's mood has been so good lately.
Here, she could freely show her identity and live freely.
If Eto was willing to take action, he naturally felt relieved. The commotion just now was quite significant, and it indeed woke Historia up.
As Historia got out of bed, she noticed Lin Yi was missing from her side. Naturally, she couldn't help but feel distressed. After all, she couldn't see him after waking up from last night's sleep.
But in the moment she was dazed, Lin Yi reappeared and gently patted her head, comforting her.
Historia instantly felt much more at ease, lying obediently in his arms.
While tenderness filled the air here,
On the other side, at the back mountain where the Training Corps was located, a fierce battle was taking place.
Fortunately, the location of the back mountain was very remote, devoid of human presence, so there wouldn't be much impact.
"Bang! Bang!"
The Female Titan's rapid footsteps, covered in wounds and dripping blood.
Under the siege of the Survey Corps and the Ghouls, she was already struggling. There were many things happening, and she couldn't comprehend it all.
There were several individuals who were utterly fearless of death, wielding strange weapons, even capable of shattering her crystal defenses.
She had clearly stomped one person's body to pieces, but the person miraculously recovered before her eyes, like an immortal.
The person she referred to was naturally Noro. Honestly speaking, Noro's regenerative abilities were exceptionally strong, even among the Ghouls.
In her grasp was a young man, looking terrified and panicked.
"Annie, you'll die like this."
Bertolt clenched his teeth, looking at the pursuers behind him. The Female Titan's running speed was indeed fast, but the enemies were equally terrifying, with speeds that didn't lag behind.
At this rate, they wouldn't be able to shake off their pursuers.
Finally, Bertolt made a decision. He slowly raised his hand, his arm trembling with fear.
As the host of a Titan, the way to transform into a Titan was to injure oneself and use blood to trigger the transformation. However, due to the Colossal Titan's immense size, it placed the heaviest burden on its host.
Other Titans, after mastering the Titan's power and undergoing training, could transform multiple times within a day.
Bertolt, on the other hand, needed a long time to transform once.
Just as he was about to transform, the Female Titan stopped him, her rapid footsteps a sign of disapproval.
In her eyes, as long as she escaped the city and reached the wilderness, with the Jaw Titan and the Beast Titan, the crisis could be averted.
She didn't know that both of them were dead; Lin Yi had kept the news well-hidden.
"Bang!"
In her moment of distraction, the Female Titan suddenly slipped, and Noro's figure appeared before her. In one blow, a terrifying force erupted, knocking the woman down.
Bertolt's figure was sent flying, plummeting from a height of seven to eight meters, bloodied and rolling on the ground.
Immediately after the Female Titan fell, she quickly covered the back of her neck with her hands and crystallized it.
The guards who had caught up brandished their Quinque's, hacking at the crystal. White marks appeared as they struck, and the crystal shattered.
At this rate, her defense would be shattered soon.
"No!"
Bertolt's eyes were bloodshot…
A golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the air.
Steam burst forth, clouds and mist billowed, and the colossal figure of the Colossal Titan, towering at 60 meters, emerged. It exuded an absolute sense of oppression.
Although Bertolt's massive figure was indeed imposing, it wasn't very effective in practice. His large size meant his speed was extremely slow.
Faced with approaching humans, he couldn't react in time and could only rely on the steam emitted by his whole body to defend himself. Once he encountered attacks that weren't afraid of steam, he would be defenseless.
Eto's figure instantly plunged into the thick steam. The scorching steam caused damage to her, but she recovered in the blink of an eye.
This was the terror of an SSS-ranked Titan.
Bertolt's pupils contracted; he wanted to transform, but the speed of his raising arm was like slow motion. He couldn't stop Eto.
Eto instantly reached his nape. With a swift, clean strike, she sent Bertolt's figure flying, catching him mid-air and grabbing his head, lifting him up.
Lin Yi had already made it clear in advance: regardless of life or death.
The death of a host wouldn't delay Lin Yi's absorption of Titan powers, so keeping Bertolt alive wasn't necessary. On the contrary, it might endanger his own soldiers.
Tears of fear filled Bertolt's eyes; he was truly a timid and cowardly person.
"Crack!"
But how could Eto show mercy?
The sound of bones breaking stopped, the battle was over.
Lin Yi, who was waiting in the palace, soon received two bodies sent by Eto's men.
