Bab 90: Pain without pain
An elite Survey Corps group approached the body of the smoking white titan on the ground, blood flowing from the large holes in its body.
"Sir, its head was completely destroyed, no titan could survive such damage." A soldier immediately reported.
"Mmm, what kind of weapon did the Commander use to eliminate this strange titan?" Another soldier was puzzled, for those who were not gathered in the center of the forest, they had no idea what had happened.
"I have no idea, that huge bow seems to be made of a hardened material, we need to make a detailed report on this titan." Said Captain Dirk with a serious expression.
After slowing down the female titan, he tried to investigate if there were any soldiers trapped outside the formation, but just as he was about to resume the established route, Dirk and all the soldiers saw the orange beams in the distance.
Thinking it was an enemy, Drik directed the soldiers towards that point to gather information, who knew that strange titan would have been eliminated as soon as it appeared.
"Sir, a signal!" A soldier pointed to the sky and they all saw a flare just above the forest of giant trees.
"It's the signal to retreat, the main team must have encountered a lot more things than we can understand, let's try to get moving." Dirk couldn't comprehend what was happening, in all his years of experience, nothing like this had ever happened.
...
High up in a tree, Takashi watched as the titan was devoured by the abnormal titans that had been attracted by the noise and the second scream the female titan had made right after taking out the intelligent titan in the distance.
"Retreat!" Erwin Smith shouted in a deep voice.
Everyone felt an emptiness inside, this was the perfect opportunity to have been able to have caught an intelligent titan, but now all was lost.
With sad expressions, many accepted this bitter defeat. There was no fighting against everything that had happened, if it wasn't for the titan that suddenly appeared, they would have triumphed.
"Everyone get back to your horses, we have to move now." Erwin looked at Takashi and then they all started moving.
"Sir, I will move on you." Takashi had no expression on his face, coldness covered him like frost.
"Okay, be careful." Erwin had no words for Takashi, he better than anyone knew what this young soldier had sacrificed a moment ago.
"Swoosh!"
Without hesitation, Takashi traveled at high speed in pursuit of Levi and Eren's squad, he feared it wasn't enough and the female titan was now in pursuit.
As he moved forward, he pulled out his flare gun and fired it a shot into the air. Immediately, a purple flare shone in the sky. Takashi as well as Commander Erwin knew it, the female titan had not been devoured.
Not long after, purple smoke floated over the forest, which was a sign that there was still an intelligent titan among the forest. Hopefully, this would be enough to make the squad protecting Eren alert.
With a glint in his eyes, Takashi didn't hesitate, he didn't retreat with everyone and ran straight into the forest, only now he could move freely regardless of orders.
Erwin could not stop him, Takashi had revealed his power and that was the least of his problems, what now bothered him was the titan that appeared in the distance, this one was not related to any enemy in the early history, so now things had changed to an aimless future
As soon as Takashi started to move, he immediately encountered difficulty. The forest was too large. As a former hunter, it wasn't difficult for him to move in the forest, but he didn't know where to go. Who would know where the squad protecting Eren was located?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud burst of thunder, and Takashi, who was moving through the forest, adjusted his course, someone had turned into a titan, he had to make sure if it was the female titan or another titan had appeared.
On the other hand, the female titan that had escaped after attracting a group of titans with her roar, Annie took the opportunity to escape the trap that had fallen.
Wearing a green Survey Corps cape, she took advantage of the confusion and silently made her escape with the help of a three-dimensional maneuvering team.
Annie used a signal flare to try to find Levi's squadron that was standing by with Eren, when they fell into her trap, Annie tried to kill Gunther Schultz but failed due to the purple smoke signal in the air and seeing her new failure, she transformed back into the female titan.
It was then that Levi's squadron directly confronted the female titan, Eren hesitated for a moment and finally chose to trust his comrades, he gritted his teeth and decided to flee, just like Captain Levi a moment ago, this action made him feel regretful.
The soldiers of Levi's squadron are very strong. Once they eliminated the female titan's vision, they tore her arms apart.
It's a pity that they were not informed about everything the female titan knew how to do, just when Gunther wanted to go and tell her neck, a tragedy happened.
"Crack!"
There was a splash of blood, the female titan gave priority to repairing a single eye. The female titan who regained her vision bit Gunther by splitting him in two!
"What!"
Petra, who slid on the ground with her three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, was filled with disbelief. She turned her head and discovered that the female titan had repaired a single eye which surprised her.
The female titan immediately ran, bending over and running wildly, trying to crush Petra, who was standing on the ground with no chance to flee quickly.
On the other side, Erd Gin and Auruo Brossard were shocked in midair and shouted, "Move quickly!"
It's a pity Petra didn't have time to turn around. Just as the female titan was about to trample Petra to death, a black shadow suddenly appeared gliding across the ground as fast as lightning and caught Petra.
"Boom!"
The female titan stomped on the ground under the tree trunk and saw the black shadow suddenly appear, by her cloak it was a Survey Corps soldier, he was holding Petra without looking back and quickly flew towards a tree branch away from the female titan, Annie who was about to step forward, was intercepted by Erd and Auruo Brossard.
"Be careful, it can harden your skin and focus all of its healing power on a single part of your body!" A loud voice came from afar and pointed, "Female titan, do you really think you escaped my blades?"
The female titan froze for a moment, but quickly failed to see where the enemy had moved to, changing direction several times until she disappeared into the forest.
That soldier was moving so fast that the female titan didn't even see the man's appearance clearly, but the voice sounded very familiar, Takashi had caught up with her again. This person had been interfering with all her plans, now she understood why Reiner and Bertholdt wanted to get rid of him, but that goal was now far out of her hands.
The duo of soldiers, Erd and Auruo stayed away from the female titan when they heard the words of that soldier, they definitely did not have the skills to get rid of the female titan.
The female titan did not chase Takashi. The reason she stopped was not only the interference of the soldiers behind her, but Eren is her main target. She didn't have time to chase other people and deviate from her mission.
Just as the seconds were getting longer, a look of surprise appeared on Auruo Brossard's face, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the female titan suddenly turned around and launched a whip-like kick towards him.
The surprise on his face turned to Shock instantly!
Auruo Brossard shouted, "Let's get a move on!"
"Wosh!"
Auruo and Erd used their three-dimensional maneuvering equipment to quickly retreat, the gas from his waist coming out quickly, narrowly dodging the surprise kick.
But before they could both be calm, the female titan's right hand grabbed the retractable rope of Erd's equipment and Annie, who was upset, was about to slam Erd to the ground.
Erd Gin's pupils contracted, with rich combat experience and reaction speed she quickly moved her hand.
Shua!"
Before the female titan could kill him, Erd decisively cut the retractable rope. The cut was clean and he inevitably lost his balance in midair.
At that moment, Auruo attacked the tendon of the female titan's foot.
"Boom!"
The cut which was not that deep, only left a small mark on the female titan's foot.
This gave Erd enough time to escape with the one rope left on the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, because he lost his balance and crashed into a log hard.
"Whistling!"
Erd, who fell to the ground, held his left arm. The left arm was the one that took all the blows so now he couldn't make use of it temporarily.
With half of her three-dimensional maneuvering equipment broken and her left arm without strength she could not move. This was the worst possible situation and now it was all in Auruo Brossard's hands.
"Switch your blades you idiot!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"I know!" shouted Auruo Brossard who was escaping from the female titan's blows.
Auruo who was about to be caught by the female titan, frowned in despair, he had no chance to escape this time, the only thing he felt at this moment was relief to know that Petra and Erd were alive.
"I thought you were going to teach me how to kill titans!" A voice came immediately and Takashi surprisingly slashed the back of the female titan's neck. However, the female titan's sharp vision caused it to stiffen its skin in time.
"Thud!"
The sound of blades breaking was heard after Takashi cut the hardened skin of the female titan.
"Is her strength infinite?" Takashi wondered before moving quickly to the injured Erd.
"Takashi, how is Petra?" Erd asked with a pained expression.
"She's fine." Takashi said.
Erd Gin looked at Takashi's expression and immediately sensed that he was not well. "Hey, you...."
However, just before Erd asked about Takashi's condition, something caught everyone's attention.
"Boom!"
There was a burst of thunder, and the forest flashed with yellow lightning, and Eren, who couldn't take it anymore, transformed into a Titan.
Eren in his Titan form with black hair and green eyes with a bluish glow, pointed ears like elves and a body full of strong muscles let out a roar, then quickly ran towards the female titan and let out a loud bang.
"Boom!"
The female titan was hit by the huge impact and flew backwards more than ten meters before coming to a stop when she leaned against a tree trunk.
Eren's titan punched the female titan in the face, but the female titan swung her head to the side and the fist hit the tree trunk, sending bark and sawdust flying.
"Burst!"
Eren in his titan form lifted his leg and kicked the part of the female titan's abdomen, transforming for the second time and having many complications along the way, Annie's physically exhausted reaction was slower.
"Plaf!"
The female titan flew through the air, fell to the ground, rolled several times before getting up a little frustrated.
Then, the 14 meter tall female titan and Eren in her titan form with over 15 meters tall chased each other and fought between the trees.
Because Eren knocked down the female titan and saved her life, Auruo watched the scene of the two titans fighting fiercely with some surprise.
"Major Auruo, we should report this to the main body, I don't have much gas so you should take care of that." Takashi said in a weak voice.
Petra came and stopped next to Takashi and said, "We will do our best to be able to support Eren, you must report to the commander."
Taking a deep breath, Auruo turned and ran off. He had no choice but to get away from this place in search of reinforcements, he couldn't do much if he stayed. He could only hope that Eren could win.
"Damn! Damn!"
At this moment, he's a little regretful. If he had known that Eren was so fierce, he would have let him transform and Gunther wouldn't have died.
He's been preventing Eren from transforming into a titan before, because the Survey Corps can't risk losing Eren and his help is needed in order to seal the wall Maria.
Boom!"
But now, Auruo has no way to stop all this. After firing a flare, all he can do now is go back and report.
On the other hand, Takashi, who had saved Petra and rescued Erd, collapsed on a tree branch.
Just now he asked Eren to slow down the female titan, he couldn't do much without compressed gas and physical strength. He didn't know why, but after using his Susanoo he felt something more than an emptiness inside him, it was clear that by losing years of life he was dying.
"Mr. Erd, I need your gas cylinders, maybe you have more than me." Takashi said with a sweaty expression. It definitely wasn't right, but he had to make sure Eren wasn't captured, now he was the only thing that could change the course of the future.
The speed he traveled at and all the physical wear and tear along with his Chakra made him feel a weakness in his body right now, but he could definitely do something.
"Takashi, you're not feeling well, you should stop for a moment..." Erd urged Takashi to stop.
"No, we can't lose Eren in this battle, we already lost a lot in this battle, we can't afford to lose anything more than a war." Takashi started to take the gas cylinders away from Erd.
"Takashi, if the two of us move, maybe we can support Eren in his battle." Petra said with a grim expression.
"Yeah, the female titan can't have much energy, she should be exhausted by now." Takashi nodded and once he exchanged the gas cylinders, he stood up.
He had a helpless expression, "We don't have much gas, Eren's battle needs to be monitored and if we see that the situation is not favorable, we will interfere."
There was no way her uncle Levi would be delayed any longer, even if Takashi had used almost all of his gas to get here, Levi could be close and hopefully the three of them could take out the female titan.
Petra's face darkened, "Even if we fail, we have to make sure of that."
Takashi sighed, he couldn't get there any faster due to not knowing the right place, he couldn't do more than what he had now accomplished.
At that moment, they were both determined to give it their all, they did not choose to sell out their teammates and the only chance to get the Maria wall back.
"Good luck guys, I'll be waiting for you here." Erd said with a fake smile on his sore face.
