章 1494: A Wave of Grim Nostalgia

"This... took me quite by surprise."

Eren muttered to himself as he observed the Titan's corpse. In the distance, Alephee and Naya worked diligently, setting up a runic array formation based on the instructions from Alephee's grimoire.

Eren found himself uncertain about whether to still consider what lay before him as a Titan, given its now human-like size. He bent down for a closer examination of the Titan's corpse, now that the immediate threat from House Lancelot had passed.

Something truly extraordinary had occurred after Eren dismantled the ice-element formation that had preserved the Titan's corpse for so long. As Shallot Lancelot's powers dissipated due to the destruction of the runic array formation, the Titan's corpse rapidly shrank within the span of a few heartbeats, reverting to what seemed to be its original form.
