Captured alive
The aura and impact of the Beast Titan's transformation are enormous and terrifying, as experienced most acutely by Coris and the Cart Titan were right next to Zeke.
"Damn it! Are you trying to kill us?!" Coris covered his eyes to shield them from the blinding light and the burning sensation.
"Let's go!" The Cart Titan made a decisive move, abandoning Zeke and turning to run with Coris.
A seventeen-meter-tall Beast Titan emerged from the steam, its body still crackling with electric arcs.
At the same time, five figures had already surrounded the Beast Titan and the Cart Titan.
"A-Yi, that long-beaked Titan! A-Two, A-Three, A-Four, follow me and take care of this hairy Titan!" A-Wu, the most talented leader among the five Ackerman, gave the order. Without any hesitation, as if they were of one mind, Ackerman instantly coordinated their actions.
"Damn it!!" The Beast Titan roared angrily, grabbing pieces of the carriage from the ground and scattering them in all directions like a shower of petals.
But the Ackerman dodged all the deadly attacks with astonishing speed and agility.
As the Soldiers drew closer, Zeke, nestled in the back of the Beast Titan's neck, chuckled in exasperation. "Are all the Soldiers on this island Levi? There's a limit to how much you can underestimate me!"
On the other side, a nimble figure soared through the air, its Omni-Directional Mobility Gear firing at full power, quickly catching up with the Cart Titan that was running.
Coris's face was grave. He pulled back the bolt, chambered a bullet, aimed, and fired in one fluid motion. But to Coris's surprise, the figure in the air dodged Coris's bullets time and time again. You see, Coris had the nickname "Gun God Captain".
Coris once accurately hit a floating aluminum can five times in a row at the effective maximum range of 800 meters with Mauser Rifle.
But now that the gun is empty and the other party is unharmed, Coris is somewhat devastated.
A-Yi accelerated through the air once more, sprinting towards the Cart Titan. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the running Cart Titan, and Pieck, nestled in the back of its neck, was terrified, instinctively opening its mouth to bite A-Yi.
With a hook and thrust, the weapon plunged deep into the Cart Titan's face. Pulling the trigger, A-Yi quickly closed in on the Cart Titan, his Dual Blades held horizontally. Using the momentum of his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, A-Yi spun in mid-air. If Levi were here, he would know that this spinning slash was one of Levi's signature techniques.
The sharp Blades pierced through the corner of the Cart Titan's mouth, and like a spinning top, it sliced the Cart Titan's body straight down from the corner of its mouth.
"Agh!!" The Cart Titan out a mournful cry, a deep wound extending from the corner of his mouth all the way to his belly.
With a swift and decisive strike, A-Yi severed the Cart Titan's heel, causing it to lose its balance and crash to the ground.
Coris slid off the back of the Cart Titan, adjusting his posture just before crashing to the ground. He arched his body, rolled a few times after landing to dissipate the impact, and, clutching Coris Rifle, immediately dodged behind a rock.
While breathing heavily, Coris cautiously peeked out to observe the situation.
With his Cart Titan's neck, A-Yi stared at his feet, then raised his Dual Blades and slashed down fiercely.
Pieck felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively sat up. The air was fresh, and the muscles on his face swayed slightly in the breeze, making Pieck face feel a little itchy.
But when Pieck turned around, his heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. The Black Hair girl in front of him was wearing the Survey Corps uniform, with delicate and young features, seemingly younger than him. The Dual Blades in her hands were still stained with the blood of his Cart Titan.
Seeing Pieck's astonished look, A-Yi remembered Yago's previous instructions and immediately raised the Blades.
Pieck was startled and quickly raised his hands, shouting, "Wait! Don't do it! I surrender!"
"Sizzle!" "Ah!!" Blood splattered everywhere, and the arms that had been raised just moments before fell to the ground with a thud.
Pieck let out a painful scream as both of his arms, from the forearms down, were cleanly severed by A-Yi's blade.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" The intense pain stimulated Pieck's brain, causing her to involuntarily bend over, her body twitching slightly.
"After grabbing them from the back of the neck, don't hesitate, immediately cut off their arms or legs! Otherwise, if they still have the strength, they will still turn into Titan." Yago's voice echoed in A-Yi's mind. Then A-Yi put away his Dual Blades, grabbed the screaming Pieck, and pulled Pieck out of the Cart Titan's neck.
Coris watched as Pieck was captured, his expression grave, and he gripped his Rifle tighter.
If Zeke's laughter just now was born of anger, then his expression now is one of utter terror.
"Impossible, impossible!! How could this be!"
The Beast Titan's hands had already been cut into pieces. The figures were so fast that Zeke couldn't even see them clearly. Deadly blades flashed continuously, and hot Titan blood spurted from wound after wound on the Beast Titan's body.
"Impossible!" To Zeke's horror, two figures severed the Beast Titan's heel and charged straight towards the back of its neck.
The Beast Titan fell to the ground. Under Ackerman's onslaught, the Beast Titan was hacked into a bloody mess and lost all mobility. The Hardening crystal on the back of the Beast Titan 'Beast Titan neck was perhaps its last act of defiance.
Four Ackerman stood on the back of the Beast Titan's neck, exchanged glances, and raised their Dual Blades.
Yago piloted the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, rapidly approaching the Beast Titan, two Thunder Spear still on his hands. He had no doubt about Ackerman's combat strength, but if it came to the hardened Hardening, he would have to rely on the Thunder Spear Hange.
"How's the operation going! I brought... uh... the Thunder Spear..." Yago, who had flown behind the Beast Titan, widened his eyes.
Several Ackerman were covered in blood, and the Beast Titan's neck was a bloody mess, with the flesh connected to the back of the neck completely shredded, leaving only a large chunk of Hardening neck.
Yago's arrival startled the Ackerman, but A-Wu, holding a knife, instinctively made the final cut, slicing away the flesh in front to reveal Zeke's bitter face.
"You..."
Before Zeke could utter a few words, the Ackermans ripped him out of the mass of flesh at the back of his neck. The blades flashed, and Zeke screamed in agony.
Yago's eyelids twitched violently at this sight.
