Thunder Spear

"Yago! Are you ready?" Hange shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth.

In the distance, on an open field, Yago waved to indicate that preparations were complete.

After waving his hand, Yago took a deep breath, clenched his left fist, and his sharp nails immediately cut open the skin of Yago palm, drawing a drop of blood.

Boom! A surge of Yellow Lightning instantly enveloped Yago's body.

Before transforming into Titan, the aura stirred up a cloud of dust, and blood, flesh, and bones emerged from Yellow Lightning, accompanied by large amounts of steam.

Although Hange was standing at a distance, a flush of excitement could be seen on her face under the dazzling Yellow Lightning Hange shouted without any regard for her image, "Sigurugi!! Hahaha, that's amazing! This is the power of Titan!"

"Section Commander! Calm down! Our purpose in this test isn't to see Titan! Section Commander, don't get it wrong!" Moblit, standing next to Hange, knew from his Section Commander's infatuated look at the Titan that the Section Commander had probably forgotten what they were supposed to be doing again.

"Oh! Right, right! The Thunder Spear! We came here to test the Thunder Spear! Where's the Thunder Spear??" Hange wiped his drool, only then remembering what he was supposed to be doing.

He hurriedly picked up several long, pipe-like sticks from the ground.

"Roar!!" As they were talking, Yago's Fate Titan roared and appeared in the open space.

Yago, nestled at the back of his neck, had a sudden thought.

With a series of cracking sounds, large chunks of Hardening crystals began to cover the back of the Fate Titan's neck and back.

A layer of white visor also covered the ferocious face of the Fate Titan, revealing only two pairs of scarlet eyes.

Raising its arms, another series of cracking sounds followed as the Fate Titan's arms were covered with a layer of Hardening crystals.

It can be said that Yago has activated the strongest defensive stance of the Fate Titan.

With his arms protecting his face, the Fate Titan hunched over, looking as if he were on high alert.

"Alright! Mikasa, let's go!" Mikasa said to Hange beside her with great enthusiasm.

Mikasa, fully equipped with her Mikasa Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, nodded. Unlike before, however, she Mikasa had a strange device on her arms.

A guard-like device extends from where the hilt originally was, with two circular iron rings on the guard. The long tube that Hange had just called the Thunder Spear was fixed inside these two rings.

*Whoosh! Mikasa activated her Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, rapidly approaching the Fate Titan.

"Look! Mikasa is getting close to Yago!" Armin said, pointing to the sky.

On the other side of the open space were the New Recruits and the entire Levi Squad watching.

Levi stood with his arms crossed, looking listless.

Eren and Historia are not here. Eren is testing his newly acquired Hardening ability at another testing site, while Historia is preparing for the Throne Ritual.

Whoosh! A moment later, Mikasa flew to the back of the Fate Titan.

"Such speed!" Yago, nestled in the nape of the Fate Titan's neck, was slightly amazed by Mikasa's speed, then immediately tensed up, for what was about to happen was terrifying.

Mikasa flew to the back of the Fate Titan, aimed at the back of the Fate Titan's neck, and pulled a new trigger on the hilt of her sword.

With a whoosh, sparks suddenly ignited at the end of the long barrel of the Thunder Spear on Mikasa's arm. Like a rocket, Mikasa swung her arm violently, and the Thunder Spear shot out from her arm with a Mikasa, heading straight for the back of the Fate Titan's neck.

In the same manner, another Thunder Spear on Mikasa's arm hurtled toward the back of the Fate Titan's neck. Upon closer inspection, two thin lines could be faintly seen connecting Mikasa's wrist to the Thunder Spear.

The instant the Thunder Spear touched the Fate Titan, Mikasa yanked hard, and the thin thread snapped.

Boom! Boom! Terrifying explosions rang out.

Even Yago, who was prepared, was taken aback.

Having seen the Thunder Spear in Big Eren's Memories, Yago thought he had a general idea of Thunder Spear power. However, when the Thunder Spear actually exploded on the back of the Fate Titan's neck, Yago realized that he had underestimated Thunder Spear power.

It felt like a large pot of boiling water had been suddenly poured over my neck.

From the outside, two large orange fireballs erupted from the back of the Fate Titan's neck, and the Fate Titan let out a roar, but the roar sounded particularly mournful.

Boom! The Fate Titan knelt on one knee, its crimson eyes dimming.

As the smoke cleared, everyone was stunned.

The parts of the Fate Titan Hardening were charred, and many of the Hardening of its arms were also broken.

The white mask had several cracks, and a piece of the mouth area was broken off, revealing sharp teeth, with wisps of steam seeping from the Fate Titan's mouth.

"This... its power is a bit beyond my expectations..." Hange clearly also somewhat shocked. Logically speaking, Yago's defense is even tougher than the Armored Titan's. If even Yago could only barely defend against it, then this weapon designed to counter the Armored Titan can be considered a great success!

"The Central Military Police are really good at hiding their skills. They have such technology but are unwilling to contribute it, resulting in the needless sacrifice of so many Soldiers' lives..." Hange's expression also became more gloomy.

As Section Commander in the Survey Corps, Hange is now well aware of the power of this Thunder Spear; it would certainly be a powerful weapon for defeating Titan, but the Central Military Police have kept this technology hidden.

Yago was in a sorry state, emerging from the back of the Titan's neck with large burns on his arms, his face stained red with blood, and blood seeping from his nose and mouth—internal injuries caused by the explosion.

Yago's miserable state worried everyone, especially Annie. If looks could kill, Mikasa would have been torn to pieces by Annie.

Mikasa looked completely innocent; she had no idea the Thunder Spear was so powerful. At the same time, Mikasa was also somewhat relieved, because Hange had initially suggested that Eren, who could Hardening his entire body, test it. Thank goodness! (Yago:%~&#*$@!!)

"It's nothing, just a minor injury, it's nothing." Yago wasn't lying; for someone with the Titan Power, this kind of injury was indeed not a big deal.

"Hey! Everyone assemble! Historia wants to see you!" Moblit shouted to the New Recruits, but Hange was nowhere to be seen.
