Without a doubt, at this moment, the only one who could calmly traverse the Giant Wilderness was Lianye, a hunter possessing special powers.
The sky was vast and the land boundless. Geese flew south, and wilderness stretched to the very edge of sight. Such desolation could not help but stir a sense of loneliness within Lianye.
—Honestly, as a human, a few days of "being isolated and helpless" did not matter much. But if he never saw another person, that kind of bleak solitude would be utterly unbearable. He would probably lose control from that feeling before he exhausted himself hunting Titans.
Therefore, his current goal was to head for the first wall, Wall of Maria.
Finding a temporary base to rest at was far better than tirelessly hunting through the Outside Wall Area without purpose.
However, Lianye did not have a Survey Corps map, nor did he even know which direction of the Outside Wall Area he was currently in. Under normal circumstances, it would have been completely impossible to find a route to Wall of Maria like this.
But Lianye was a Summoner bound to the Infinite LoL System.
That meant Lianye could choose to activate the perspective of Eagle Eye—what was commonly known as God's eye view.
What the naked eye captured was a hero's field of vision;
while the broad view gained from a bird's-eye perspective like an eagle's was the locked viewpoint of Summoners—in other words, the players.
Thus, after becoming proficient with the Hero Ability of the Pride Stalker, Lianye, now a qualified Summoner, had also unlocked Eagle Eye. Through it, he could determine the exact direction of the Inside Wall Area.
The world of Attack on Titan could not possibly be bound by magical power like Summoner's Rift, with distant scenery obscured by the dark clouds of the Fog of War. Therefore, even without a map, every scene was clear and vivid in Lianye's mind.
Everything was within the Summoner's grasp.
"Finally, I've reached the first wall—Wall of Maria."
Looking at the towering wall that stretched endlessly before him, Lianye could not help but sigh.
He had spent more than ten days trekking here from the wilderness beyond the walls. Along the way, he had no idea how many Titans he had hunted. Though his life had never been in danger, he had experienced several serious injuries.
Through this period of exploration, he had also clearly felt the strengthening of his physique.
The Hero Ability of the Pride Stalker granted him not only the formidable hunting skills and power of the ultimate hunter, but also beastlike self-healing abilities and eyes capable of night vision. It felt as though he had become a mutant with feline powers.
If this world had not been Attack on Titan, but the Marvel Universe, Lianye could probably have been called "XX Hero."
—Oh, no. The most important thing about a superhero was that sexy, eye-catching skintight suit. Lianye could not meet that requirement.
Arriving outside Wall of Maria did not mean he had reached the end and could relax.
In fact, precisely because this was a human stronghold—the first wall of the Inside Wall Area that blocked Titan invasions—the Titans wandering outside were greater in both number and density than those in the Giant Wilderness Lianye had passed through before.
Beneath the blazing sun, a huge group of Titans let out unconscious howls as they wandered mindlessly beneath Wall of Maria.
This scene had persisted for a hundred years.
The lazy garrison soldiers atop the wall had long grown accustomed to it. The warm afternoon sun made them yawn as they drowsily watched the large group of foolish-looking Titans wandering beyond the wall.
Numbed and lax after their daily routine of garrison duty, they had no way of realizing that a change was about to occur.
Lianye surveyed the sparse figures atop the fifty-meter-tall Wall of Maria, as well as the large group of Titans roaming outside it.
Without causing too much of a disturbance, there was only one way to enter the Inside Wall Area.
He flexed his aching wrists and rubbed his slightly heavy eyelids, bringing his body and mind to their most focused, perfect state.
