A desperate battle
"Hah!!!" Levi roared, a rare occurrence for him. His Dual Blades moved so fast that only afterimages could be seen, while the Beast Titan let out a chilling and terrifying howl.
Large gushes of blood splattered from the back of the Beast Titan's neck as if it were free.
"Wait a minute! Stop!" Zeke finally couldn't hold back any longer and poked his head out. He was genuinely scared. Levi looked like he was about to go crazy, and if he didn't say something, he might really be slaughtered like a pig.
Of course, to make the performance more convincing, Zeke only showed half of his head. Originally, it wasn't noticeable under the large patch of hair on the back of the Beast Titan's neck, but now that the back of the neck had been chopped open by Levi, it looked like a rotten watermelon. Although the hair was gone, Zeke's head was stained bright red with the hot blood of the Titan, and from a distance, you wouldn't notice Zeke's head at all.
"Levi! You've gone too far with your acting, haven't you? We never said we'd send so many people to chop me up!" Zeke, for the first time, felt a little wronged and frustrated. They had all made such a peaceful agreement before, so why were they suddenly adding this on the spot?
But Zeke was met with two brand-new Blades; the two Blades he had just used had become dull.
"Ah!!!"
"Captain Magath! The Beast Titan!" Magath's subordinates pointed in astonishment at the Beast Titan in the distance. A large ball of orange flame burst from the back of the Beast Titan's neck, and in the end, the Beast Titan could no longer even let out a wail.
Magath clenched his fists instinctively; the situation was spiraling out of control. He grabbed the communications soldier beside him and shouted, "Where is the Imperial Guard Division? And the city defense troops? Why haven't they come to reinforce us yet?!"
The communications soldier, somewhat frightened by the enraged Magath, stammered, "Captain Magath, the Imperial Guard Division said... said they suffered Colossal Titan, with heavy casualties. The city defense forces... we can't get in touch with them at all. Just now, we even lost contact with the naval port..."
"What?!" Magath released his grip. The situation was beyond out of control; it had completely deteriorated. Colossal Titan was attacking, the city's defense forces were out of contact, and the naval port was cut off. Even a fool could see that this was a premeditated plan.
Willy was taken away by the Soldiers, and now Magath was the only remaining commander on the scene. Marley's Fate was now entirely in his hands, and he had to make a decision immediately.
"Roar!" The Fusion Titan raised its two front hooves and stomped down hard, but the Fate Titan, wielding Two-Handed Greatsword, easily dodged to the side.
With a thought, Yago caused the earth to be covered once again by crystalline Hardening, and sharp, Hardening spikes surged forth, piercing towards the Fusion Titan.
However, most of these Hardening spikes were blocked by the almost abnormally tough defense of the Fusion Titan. A few spikes only caused the Fusion Titan to bleed a little and did not cause much damage. However, the Hardening spikes still temporarily restricted the Fusion Titan's huge body.
But Yago had already achieved his goal. The Hardening spikes were merely a distraction for the Fusion Titan, while the Fate Titan had already rushed to the side of the Fusion Titan with his Two-Handed Greatsword, swinging it and preparing to strike.
At that moment, a sharp shriek came from the sky, Fate Titan looked up, only to be met by an incredibly wide fleshy wing that filled its field of vision.
In the moment that the Fate Titan was stunned, the Winged Titan seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, its sharp claws tearing through the bone armor on the Fate Titan's face.
Instantly, the Fate Titan's sharp, dagger-like teeth and unprecedentedly crimson eyes were revealed, but this did not ruin the Fate Titan's original appearance; on the contrary, it added a wild and ferocious aura to the Fate Titan.
The Winged Titan, having landed a successful blow, quickly tried to escape and prepare for another attack. But Yago wasn't some pushover who would just stand there and take a beating. "You scratched my face, and you think you can run away?"
The Fate Titan released his Two-Handed Greatsword and raised his arms slightly. Two balls of white light Fate Titan began to condense in his hands and lengthen.
Soon, two incredibly sharp javelins appeared in the hands of the Fate Titan. His arm muscles bulged, and the Fate Titan let out a powerful roar from his mouth full of sharp teeth. Then, with a twist of his arm, the two Hardening javelins were hurled out.
The javelins tore through the air, even emitting a piercing shriek. The Winged Titan never dreamed that the Fate Titan would react so quickly. By the time the Winged Titan noticed the javelins, the two sharp javelins easily pierced through the Winged Titan's body with two soft thuds.
The powerful inertia even carried the Winged Titan's body as it plummeted like a meteor.
The Winged Titan howled in agony as it was pinned to the ground by two javelins.
After dealing with the Winged Titan, the Fate Titan turned around and raised his Two-Handed Greatsword again, but at this moment, the two Silver-Split Titan, split off and brandishing their spikes, also charged in.
"Get lost!" Yago growled impatiently from the back of the Fate Titan's neck, then swung his greatsword and cleaved the split creature in two with a single strike.
Facing the oncoming split entity, the Fate Titan showed no fear. He released one hand, and a layer of transparent, Hardening crystal covered the bone armor on his fingertip. Sizzle!
With a powerful tear, the entire arm of the Silver-Split Titan's split form was ripped off, and silvery fluid gushed from the wound. Just as the Silver-Split Titan's split form was dealt with, the Fusion Titan shattered the Hardening spikes all over its body, pawed the ground with its hooves, and charged towards the Fate Titan once again.
Ebson squinted as he observed the battle among the Titan in the arena, with the Fate Titan of Yago being the one that most attracted Ebson attention.
But contrary to Ebson's expectations, the power emanating from Yago's Fate Titan astonished him greatly. Ebson was very clever and immediately realized that Yago's Fate Titan possessed more than one power.
At least for now, based solely on visual observation, Ebson can deduce that the Fate Titan also possesses the power of the War Hammer Titan, the Armored Titan, and even the Jaw Titan.
What does this prove? Ebson suddenly thought of a possibility, but when he did, Ebson froze. "No! Could it be, Norman, that you're telling the truth? That child is the key? But how could that be? It can't be!"
Ebson clutched his head, somewhat dazed, as unfamiliar memories flooded back, making Ebson head throb with pain. He suddenly threw his head back and roared, "Damn it! You liar! How can this world be real?! Where did you come from Norman?!"
Blood completely stained Ebson's eyes.
