Breaking free
The Fate Titan braced itself against a nearby house for balance. Its torn right leg was rapidly growing back, and thick steam billowed from the numerous wounds all over its body. Its crimson eyes scanned its surroundings.
"Annie, I can count on you this time. Don't be late." Yago murmured to himself inside the Titan's nape.
Crack! The Beast Titan crushed the boulder completely with its palm, raised its hands high, and prepared to lunge.
"It's a real pity. Annie was the most suitable possessor of the Female Titan Power. I wonder if the next successor will be as reassuring as Annie."
Having said that, the Beast Titan suddenly threw out all the stones in its hand. Its long, Beast Titan -like arms provided the greatest assistance, giving the Beast Titan enough time to give the stones a powerful acceleration.
The stones whistled as they hurtled towards the Fate Titan; each fragment thrown by the Beast Titan was like a small cannonball—that was the terrifying power of the Spear of Marley.
"Roar!" The Fate Titan reacted immediately, raising its arms high and Hardening to protect its face and the back of its neck.
If the eyes of the Fate Titan are destroyed, then Yago is located on the back of the Fate Titan's neck, will also lose his sight.
His body was once again smashed to pieces by the Beast Titan.
The Beast Titan's attack also served as a signal. The Armored Titan used the momentum to run forward, charging towards the Fate Titan like a bull. The Cart Titan also kept its eyes fixed on the Fate Titan, ready to deliver the final blow at any moment.
Bang! The Fate Titan's broken body was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when facing the charging Armored Titan, and was directly smashed into a house by the Armored Titan.
Steam seeped from the Armored Titan's visor, and its hand pressed hard against the Fate Titan's head, Fate Titan to let out a futile roar.
"Boring." The Beast Titan stroked its fluffy head.
However, the soaring yellow lightning made the Beast Titan abandon its contempt.
"So he really inherited the Female Titan Power? He can still transform again under these circumstances?" The Beast Titan picked up two huge rocks from the ground and became serious.
A Hardening iron fist shattered the Armored Titan's visor, followed by a kick that sent the Armored Titan flying, and the new Fate Titan emerged from its previously ravaged body.
After kicking aside the Armored Titan, the Fate Titan raised its head and roared defiantly to the sky, "Roar!!"
However, his roar was met with a barrage of flying stones, bang! bang! bang!
Thus, the Fate Titan had just regained his body, was once again beaten to a bloody pulp.
"Damn, can I pretend for a moment and get slapped in the face in a flash?" Yago muttered to himself, using words from his hazy memory.
Unfortunately, there weren't many opportunities. The Beast Titan showed no mercy, immediately following up with another wave of boulders after just one.
Crack! A slightly larger rock smashed off half of the Fate Titan's face.
The Fate Titan thus lost half of his vision.
The Cart Titan, which had been lurking to the side, was not about to let this golden opportunity slip by. With all its might, it leaped from the side of the Fate Titan that had lost sight of it onto the Fate Titan.
"Oh no!" Yago exclaimed in surprise, but he was still a step too late.
The Cart Titan opened its massive jaws and tore open the back of the Fate Titan's neck, which it hadn't had time to Hardening.
Seeing the bright sunlight again from the dark back of the neck is certainly nice, but if you're facing the mouth of Titan that could swallow you several times your size, Yago thinks the dark back of the Titan's neck is better.
But Miss Pieck's enthusiasm was still too much for Yago to handle. Sure enough, Yago's left arm was bitten hard by the Cart Titan, and he could feel the bones being crushed.
The pain stimulated Yago's brain. The Cart Titan certainly wouldn't eat Yago. Biting off his arm was also to undo Yago's Titan Transformation. Apart from the Cart Titan, other Titan Power users cannot complete Titan Transformation if they are seriously injured, because the Titan Power must prioritize healing the user's physical injuries.
"Did it work?" Bertholdt hesitated as he put down the Small Knife, and the Beast Titan stopped crushing the stones.
It now appears that Yago has lost the ability to resist.
"Ahem, Miss Pieck is so hospitable, but I don't want to go back to Marley with you all yet." Blood trickled from the corner of Yago's mouth, his face pale with pain. How could Yago still manage a smile in this state?
Did Yago have another trump card? A Green Signal Flare suddenly shot into the sky in the distance, and upon seeing this, Yago's smile widened even more.
The Beast Titan looked up and saw the Green Signal Flare. "Is that the Soldiers' signal? They're catching up?"
Seeing Yago still laughing, Pieck was inside the Cart Titan's neck, was speechless and prepared to pull the strange guy Yago out directly.
Sizzle! Yellow Lightning crackled across his body, Yago once again shocked the Cart Titan, "He can actually Titan Transformation?"
Pieck is very realistic; she's often unwilling to risk her life, so she decisively let go of her mouth to create distance.
Steam filled the air, and what appeared in the steam was a half-crippled Fate Titan. Only half of its body was visible, and some of its muscles were not even covered by skin. Only its head was relatively intact. It was clear that Yago had barely managed to partially Titan Transformation because he was almost exhausted.
But who would be scared by such Titan Transformation?
The Armored Titan slowly stood up, its face armor still shattered, indicating that it had expended a great deal of energy.
The Cart Titan suddenly spoke up, saying, "It seems this resistance is pointless; it's just a waste of our energy."
"Enough talk, take him down immediately! The Soldiers on this island have likely already arrived!" the Beast Titan said sternly.
"Heh, it's not that simple!" Yago sneered from the back of the broken Fate Titan's neck.
The Fate Titan raised its still-intact head, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and let out a loud howl, "Roar!!!" The sound waves spread rapidly, and Bertholdt was even forced to cover his ears.
In an instant, the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
The tremors of the earth grew more and more pronounced. Bertholdt looked back in confusion, and his pupils constricted instantly. Smoke and dust billowed as countless Titan, at least twenty in number, charged toward him.
The Beast Titan also noticed this situation and was somewhat surprised. "How is this possible? I should have cleared out all the other Titan around here long ago!"
Whoosh! An Abnormal Titan leaped ten meters high, over Bertholdt on the roof, and charged straight at the Fate Titan.
Bertholdt stared in disbelief, while the Beast Titan immediately realized this was the Female Titan's technique—summoning ordinary Titan around her was indeed the Female Titan's power. But the question was, where did these Titan come from? Could it be related to that Signal Flare?
The Armored Titan spewed steam, its feet planted firmly on the ground, preparing to break through the horde of Titan and seize Yago, but the screams from the other side made Reiner hesitate.
"Ah! Reiner! Help me!" Bertholdt cried out in terror as a 10-Meter-Class Titan grabbed him with both hands.
The Cart Titan scrambled to the top of the tallest building. His fighting strength was already weak; wouldn't this group of Titan tear him to shreds?
The Beast Titan angrily threw a rock, shattering the Titan in front of it into pieces.
As all the Marley Warriors were tied down, a figure fell from behind the Abnormal Titan Fate Titan that was tearing apart the body of the Fate Titan.
A flash of cold light appeared from his Dual Blades, revealing a weak-looking Yago. He said, "I made it just in time, Annie. Any later and you'd be collecting my corpse."
Whoosh! The Omni-Directional Mobility Gear activated, bypassing more than a dozen crazed Titan. Annie, cloaked and carrying Yago on her back, quickly escaped the chaos.
