New Titans (Part One)
At a makeshift training ground a few kilometers from the Military Camp, Magath invited General Sko and some other high-ranking Marley Officer to witness the new Titan Warriors' abilities.
Yago sat casually on the high platform with his legs crossed. He was currently a Colonel, which made him a high -Officer in Marley. He had also managed to sneak into the visiting group by using Bagg's name.
Captain Magath and General Sko exchanged a few pleasantries on the platform, then Magath waved his arm to signal the start.
A figure stepped onto the open space first; it was Litt with a cold face. Surrounded by so many people, he felt like a monkey in a zoo. Although he was extremely unhappy, he still took out Dagger and swiftly slashed his own palm.
Boom! Almost instantly, golden lightning erupted from the ground, forming a Golden Thunder that shot into the sky.
Steam began to spread, and through it, one could see wisps of crimson muscle emerging and covering the already formed white skeleton. The muscle was wrapped around it, and more and more steam appeared.
Gradually, streaks of blood-red arcs of electricity emerged from the Golden Thunder, illuminating the faces of everyone present. Some Officer with poor eyesight even closed their eyes.
Yago, however, abandoned his dismissive attitude and began to observe seriously. The longer he observed, the greater his advantage would be should these Artificial Titan become his enemies in the future.
Suddenly, two enormous black shadows emerged from the steam. Before anyone could react, a huge gust of wind blew all the steam away, catching many of the Marley Officer directly opposite the platform off guard and blowing a lot of sand into their eyes.
But Yago, standing beside the platform, was completely unaffected. He stared wide-eyed at the enormous body that appeared after the steam dissipated. The giant had a slender body fourteen meters tall, with sharp, reflective claws on its hands and feet, crimson eyes, and menacing fangs. Most striking of all were the two enormous, bat-like wings on the back of this Titan, covered with short black down.
Two fleshy wings, each as large as the Titan's body.
The Titan's fleshy wings fluttered gently, Yago felt gusts of wind brushing against his face. Looking at the ferocious Titan, Yago wondered if this was a vampire from a storybook come to life.
Magath, flipping through the booklet, pointed to the Titan that Litt had transformed into and explained, "This is... the Winged Titan!"
Suddenly, the Winged Titan flapped its wings, and under everyone's gaze, it soared into Winged Titan sky. As everyone watched in astonishment, the Winged Titan flew higher and higher, its body growing smaller and smaller until it finally became a tiny black dot.
"A flying Titan is worth noting." Yago gazed at the sky, pondered for a moment, then decisively took out a pen and paper from his pocket and hastily wrote a few words.
At this moment, the black dot in the sky grew larger and larger, and a sharp, long shriek reached everyone's ears. This outrageous shriek made everyone's head ache, and Yago, with his excellent hearing, couldn't stand it. It was as if 20,000 chickens were clucking in his ears.
Just then Winged Titan suddenly swooped down, opening its claws that gleamed with a cold light. Below it were several old and damaged Train carriages.
Crack! Crack! With a few crisp sounds, the annoying shrieking sound disappeared, and the Train carriages on the ground were reduced to pieces.
The Winged Titan folded its wings, enveloping its body, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes.
After the demonstration ended, Litt deactivated his Titan form and left the open space, while the crowd on the stage buzzed with discussion. The Marley Warrior Unit at the bottom watched the scene unfold, and Zeke stood silently with his arms crossed, pondering the sudden appearance of the Winged Titan.
Next up was the Blonde, blue-eyed, and curvaceous Ivanor. Ivanor calmly smoothed her hair, then winked at Aili, who was sitting in the audience. Aili's hair stood on end; she was terrified!
"Ugh, I have to cut myself with a knife again. Can't you come up with a nicer way to transform?" Ivanor muttered to herself as she slowly and painstakingly cut her palm.
Suddenly, golden lightning descended upon the field once more. This time, Ivanor's transformed aura was even greater than Litt's, with the surging arcs of electricity nearly twice the size of Litt's.
Amidst the billowing steam, a complex and bizarre skeletal body began to coalesce, its veins, muscles, and skin gradually covering it, the crimson flesh radiating a powerful steam.
A strange clattering sound echoed in the arena, resembling the footsteps of Titan, yet it didn't seem like the sound a Titan could make.
The clicking sound grew louder and louder until a massive figure suddenly burst out of the steam.
"What is this??" Yago stared blankly at the enormous body before him.
With equally blood-red eyes, layers of white bone armor covered the Titan's upper body like a medieval Knight, even his entire head was encased in white bone armor, and a large tuft of long, flowing black hair, like a ponytail, was exposed at the back of his head.
Why is it said that the white bone armor covered the Titan's upper body? Because the Titan's lower body was what surprised Yago. Like a horse magnified a hundred times, the Titan's lower body was actually that of a strong horse, with clearly defined and bulging muscles, and the horse's hooves occasionally clattering on the ground.
No wonder I heard those random clicking sounds earlier; it turns out it doesn't have just one leg.
Magath looked at the centaur-like Titan and introduced it, "Paladin Titan!"
Because it had half the body of a horse, the Paladin Titan's body reached a terrifying twenty meters in height.
Just by standing there, the terrifying aura emanating from his scarlet eyes was enough to terrify any enemy.
The Paladin Titan twisted its body, its hooves clattering on the ground, its crimson eyes locking onto a pile of Train carriages stacked together not far away.
The horses' hooves pounded the ground, raising clouds of dust and creating a thunderous roar that seemed to make the earth tremble beneath their hooves.
At such a moment, anyone standing in front of the Paladin Titan would surely be terrified by its terrifying aura and oppressive presence.
With a series of creaking and groaning sounds, the steel twisted and groaned, and before anyone could react, the Train carriages were nothing but twisted and deformed scrap metal. Under the Iron Hoof of the Paladin Titan, even steel would be pulverized.
