Undoubtedly, the only person capable of calmly traversing the Giant Wilderness at this time was Lianye, a hunter possessed of special powers.
The sky was vast and the earth stretched far, with wild geese flying south; even at the edge of his vision, there was nothing but wilderness. This desolate scene couldn't help but stir a sense of loneliness in the depths of Lianye's heart.
To be honest, as a human, living a few days in "total isolation" is fine, but if I never see another human shadow, that kind of hollow silence is completely unbearable. I fear that before I even exhaust myself hunting giants, I would lose control just because of this feeling.
Therefore, his current goal was to head toward the first wall, Wall of Maria.
Finding a temporary base to rest his body was far better than tirelessly hunting in the Outside Wall Area without a destination.
However, Lianye did not have a map from the Survey Corps, nor did he even know which part of the Outside Wall Area he was currently in. Generally speaking, it would be completely impossible to find a path to Wall of Maria under such conditions.
But Lianye was a Summoner bound to the Infinite LoL System.
This meant that Lianye could choose to activate the Eagle Eye perspective—what is commonly known as the "God's eye view."
What is captured by the naked eye is the hero's vision;
While the wide-range vision obtained as if looking down from an eagle's eye is the locked perspective of the Summoner, or rather, the players.
Thus, after mastering the Hero Ability of the Pride Stalker, Lianye, having become a qualified Summoner, also unlocked the Eagle Eye ability, through which he could determine the specific direction of the Inside Wall Area.
The Attack on Titan world could not be shackled by magical forces like Summoner's Rift, where distant scenes would be shrouded in the "Fog of War" of dark clouds. Therefore, even without a map, every scene was clear and distinct in Lianye's mind.
Everything was under the Summoner's strategic control.
"Finally arrived, the first wall—Wall of Maria."
Looking at the vast, towering city wall before him, Lianye couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It had taken him over ten days to trek from the wilderness outside the walls to this point. Along the way, he had lost count of how many giants he had hunted. Although his life was never in danger, he had still experienced several serious injuries.
Through his exploration during this time, he also clearly felt the strengthening of his own physique.
Wielding the Hero Ability of the Pride Stalker granted him not only the powerful hunting skills and strength of an ultimate hunter, but also beast-like self-regeneration and night-vision eyes; it felt as if he had become a mutant with the abilities of a feline.
If this world weren't Attack on Titan but the Marvel Universe, one might even call Lianye "XX-Man."
Oh, wait, no. The most important thing for a superhero is that sexy and conspicuous spandex. On that requirement, I can't quite make the cut.
Arriving outside Wall of Maria did not mean this was the end or that he could relax his mind.
In fact, precisely because this was a human stronghold and the first wall blocking giant invasions into the Inside Wall Area, the number and density of giants wandering outside were even greater than in the Giant Wilderness Lianye had passed through earlier.
Under the brilliant sun, a large group of giants let out unconscious roars, wandering aimlessly beneath Wall of Maria.
This scene had persisted for 100 years.
The group of lazy Garrison Soldiers atop the city wall were long accustomed to such sights. The warm afternoon sun made them yawn, and they surveyed the large group of hulking giants wandering outside the wall with hazy eyes.
In the day-to-day routine of garrison duties, they had become numb and slack, unable to realize that a change was about to occur.
Lianye scanned the sparse figures on the 50-meter-high Wall of Maria and the large group of giants wandering outside.
On the premise of not creating too much of a commotion, this was the only way to enter the Inside Wall Area.
Flexing his sore wrists and rubbing his slightly heavy eyelids, Lianye brought his spirit and focus to the perfect state of concentration.
