Chapter 423: The Fall of Xiganshina District
"The strongest?"
Alan looked at Jiraiya. The uncle from another world whom he had briefly met suddenly exuded an aura that made him dazed.
Even though his power has been sealed, Jiraiya is still a warrior who has experienced many battles.
And Alan,
Although they are favored by fate, they are protected by thick high walls like most civilians and the gendarmerie, and are kept like livestock in captivity.
Alan's pupils trembled. He felt as if he saw... no, it was a feeling far beyond that of the ordinary Survey Corps.
"Alan, if you want to save the world and change your destiny, it is both difficult and easy!"
dusk is approaching,
The warm and gentle sunlight splashed on the city walls and the Shiganshina district where a large number of civilians lived.
A dark shadow appeared on the top of the city, blocking the sunlight and casting a large shadow.
Jiraiya raised his head,
Looking at the huge head that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped out of the city wall.
There was no skin, and the hideous scarlet muscle stripes were exposed. High-temperature white steam gushed onto the city walls, covering a large area of the corridor.
The soldiers of the garrison corps had no time to react and were scalded to death by the white steam.
This scene,
All civilians in the Shiganshina District can see it.
Panic, fear, mad escape, shrill roar, struggling in the crowded streets...
Like some forgotten fear.
"Colossal Titan!"
Alan swallowed and stood stiffly in place. Even though he was prepared, fear quickly filled his heart when he saw the special giant that destroyed the city wall again.
Suddenly, Jiraiya's heroic voice rang in my ears.
"That's will!"
"The will to face fear, see fear, fight fear, and finally transcend fear!"
Jiraiya could see the unyielding spirit of his younger self in Alan.
Those who are chosen to be players in the reincarnation game are also lives with strong wills, but are just temporarily blinded.
The Colossal Titan tilted his head in confusion.
Looking at Jiraiya who was not killed by the white steam, he seemed confused that the ant-like human did not take the opportunity to escape.
Whoosh.
Jiraiya hooked his fingers, and the steel claws shot out, nailing firmly to the city wall, and then the rope was tightened.
Using the pulling force, he rushed towards the Colossal Titan at an extremely fast speed.
After acquiring the three-dimensional maneuverability control skills, a memory that seemed to have been tempered a thousand times appeared in my mind, and even my body was able to adapt perfectly.
Just as he said,
Now, he is the strongest fighter among the three corps.
"Hoohoo!"
The Colossal Titan roared. Although it was huge in size, it was not as bulky as imagined. Its arms danced flexibly, trying to catch Jiraiya who was moving in the air.
However, he underestimated Jiraiya's agility. He dodged the waving bloody arms with a few flashes and stood on the shoulder of the Colossal Titan.
"Who is that?"
"The 3D Mobile Unit...are they soldiers from the Military Police?"
The civilians fled madly but were stopped by the moat and could only wait for the boats to enter the city. They turned their heads and saw a tiny figure standing on the shoulders of the colossal giant.
Inside the post station, the Survey Corps soldiers who had just returned to the city also saw Jiraiya flying in the air with dull eyes.
"I've never seen him before. He's not from the Survey Corps. Could he be from the Military Police or the Garrison Corps? How is that possible?"
"Even if it's Captain Levi... No, Captain Levi is the strongest!"
As soldiers who often go out of the city walls to investigate outside, they are the corps that come into contact with giants most frequently.
It still retains some of the wildness that comes with not being kept in captivity.
The three-dimensional maneuverable device is like an extension of their hands and feet. Those who are unfamiliar with its operation have long become the giants' prey.
However, seeing Jiraiya's control of the three-dimensional maneuvering device still shocked me.
It's like the difference between a butcher and a peerless swordsman.
They had seen this kind of terrifying strength in Levi, who was known as the strongest sergeant, so they were unwilling to believe that there would be such warriors in the gendarmerie and garrison corps, which were like good-for-nothings.
"Hee..." The Colossal Titan's mouth cracked, as if he was laughing, unlike the wandering mindless Titans.
Just waiting for Jiraiya to land on his shoulders,
puff.
A large amount of high-temperature white steam suddenly gushed out from the gaps between the muscles, like a thick fog, covering the entire body.
The hurricane-like impact force and the high-temperature steam that followed blew Jiraiya away before he could stand firmly. The surface of his skin began to fester and was corroded by the high temperature.
"Well done!"
Jiraiya ignored the pain of being corroded, pulled the hook that was nailed into the shoulder of the Colossal Titan, and drew a circle in the air.
Click...
The high-temperature steam caused the three-dimensional mobile device to get stuck and could no longer be used.
Jiraiya, who was almost approaching the back of the Colossal Titan's neck, fell like a kite with a broken string.
[Exchange for [3D Mobile Device]! ]
Jiraiya, who was falling, communicated with the mall, and the next second he discarded the damaged three-dimensional mobile device and put on the latest version exchanged in the mall.
"Giant, how many more times can you erupt steam?"
Jiraiya, who was very observant, discovered that as the steam erupted, the Colossal Titan's muscles shrank like water.
I'm afraid it's a very costly method.
At this time, Jiraiya's skin was completely rotten, and his cheeks were only left with scarlet muscles like the Colossal Titan, making him look like a ghost.
Hook Claw Launch,
The rope pulled Jiraiya's body tight and landed on the back of the Colossal Titan's neck again.
The warrior from the Marley Empire, Berthold Hoover, who was transformed into the Colossal Titan, sensed the threat of death at this moment.
Even though he had received professional training, he had never met a crazy human being like Jiraiya who didn't even care about his own life.
"go to hell!"
Jiraiya swung his blade, about to cut the back of the Colossal Titan's neck.
Suddenly, a giant covered in armor rushed over like a cannonball, knocked Jiraiya away, and saved the Colossal Titan.
"Two special giants... they seem to have intelligence, unlike those mindless giants wandering around."
Jiraiya landed on the corridor of the city wall, revealed a serious look, and said: "Alan, the giants outside the city wall are likely to have wisdom. This is not an accident, but an organized and premeditated sabotage plan."
The performance of the two giants just now,
They are totally unlike most of the mindless pure titans, who help each other and show obvious emotions when fighting.
However, Jiraiya had no interest in digging deeper into the intelligence; his goal was to resist the attack of the Titans and protect Wall Maria.
in other words,
His mission is to prevent the city wall from falling. Once it falls, he will kill all the giants that invade the wall.
The soldiers of the garrison looked at Jiraiya landing on the city wall in amazement.
When fighting with the Colossal Titan, the perfect camouflage of the uniform was no longer effective, and the people of the garrison realized that they had never seen this commander at all.
Rumble.
The rescued Colossal Titan assumed a kicking posture, and its huge torso without skin slammed into the city wall.
The city wall was kicked in, and the huge waves of smoke and dust and rain of rubble smashed countless houses in the Shiganshina district.
The strong wind blew away the soldiers of the garrison on the edge of the city wall.
A huge gap appeared on the city wall, and even the sunlight shining through felt icy and chilly.
Through the gap in the wall,
You can see countless giants moving towards the city.
He has a weird smile on his face and his running posture seems deformed, but his appearance is similar to that of a human. This creepy atmosphere brings the effect of the uncanny valley to the extreme.
Countless civilians trembled and gathered by the moat.
They were originally watching the rich people boarding the ship with eager eyes, but now a riot broke out.
"Get out of the way and get on board!"
"If you don't let me enter the city, we'll all die together!"
Even with soldiers from the gendarmerie maintaining order, riots still broke out at several city gates.
The result was that the ship was sunk and no one could escape.
