(Alexander POV)
"...okay, so that's where you were."
While everyone else was watching the titan attacking his fellow beings in surprise, I can't help but express myself like this. Yes, although the others were surely unaware of this, it was obvious to me that this titan was none other than Eren!
Although... the truth is that in this case there was not so much physical similarity between him after transforming, I still remembered a bit of the plot of this world history. Furthermore, the fact that it was recognized by my analysis totally left any doubt about this.
Well, I think I wasn't the only one who knew the identity of that titan. Seeing the way Mikasa was looking at him, I think she most likely felt something, after all, they hadn't been friends and family for several years for nothing.
“…this is good, while he draws the attention of the other titans, we should do our job.
Let's go"
“E-Eh?
B-But… how do we know he won't attack us?! ”
“Y-Yes, it's true! That titan seems to be more dangerous than the others!! ”
I try to bring the others out of the shock they were in, but although I succeeded, they didn't seem very motivated to continue with what we were doing... well, since a lot of these bastards expected me and the girls to be the ones to do the work, this does not surprise me much.
...seriously, sometimes I'm surprised at how good a person I am. If were anyone else, he probably would have thrown several of these guys to the Titans as food long ago.
[…]
"W-Why don't we take care of that titan first?"
“…”
Just as Aurora was awkwardly silent due to my earlier thoughts, I have no choice but to do the same when I hear that person ask this. The "we taking care of the titan", obviously was more like... why don't you take care of him! Most here were watching us waiting for us to give an answer to this!!
But unlike what they probably expected, I could only hold my head with one hand to massage my temple… I was beginning to think that it was best to just end this “soldier” game I was involved in now because of that mission! Maybe it would be better to just move on my own with the girls and… maybe Armin too.
…With the latter at this point I was hesitant to include him.
Well, it's not that I wanted to abandon him, but… maybe it was better to just leave Armin in a safe place so he can continue to grieve over his problems! He still didn't seem to be able to focus.
Yes, he still hadn't recovered from seeing Eren get devoured earlier!!
"I really can't understand your logic... why the hell attack something that can be considered an ally for now?"
““…””
Yeah, aside from them wanting me to be the one to do the hard work... and probably many would like to see me get eaten by one of the titans, but this other thing is the most important problem!
I already had to look for other boys who turned into titans and fight against them... and I really didn't know how difficult this would be! So the last thing I wanted now was to add another one to the list now! I already had enough problems to deal with for now how to also fight against Eren in his titan form uselessly!!
“What the boy says is true… let those titans fight and devour each other. We have work to do, come on! ”
“Y-Yes…”
The good thing is that it seems that the captain had a good head on his shoulders… my opinion of him kept increasing!
Soon, after finishing some simple plans, we all move towards the doors or windows of the building to enter. And really that Eren was here made things a lot easier for everyone!
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
As I had seen before with the people I gave the serum to, the Titans in the vicinity focused their attention mainly on the transformed individual, so we practically had a free way to enter the building!
But, as we ran towards the place, I couldn't help but worry a little… maybe because he wasn't in full control, Eren was getting more and more suppressed by the other titans!
Also, it didn't help that no matter how many he took down, more kept appearing! And as the captain said before, rather than fight him, the other titans seemed like they were trying to devour him!!
…he had already lost an arm and some pieces of meat due to the titans biting him. If it continued like this, the most likely thing was that very soon it would be completely devoured! And the truth is that I did not know very well what would happen if Eren was devoured again once he lost his transformation... maybe this time he really has no alternative but to be digested by a titan!!
"Watch out!!"
“…”
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try to help him at the moment... upon entering the building, the first thing that greets us is another group of titans!
Given the size of the place, these were among the smallest! But without a doubt, his aggressiveness and danger were not very different from the other larger ones!
"N-Nooo!!"
"G-Gyahh!!"
Being surprised by them, some of the people who came with us are not as lucky as me, who after hearing Mikasa's scream, I quickly move to dodge and attack the titan in front of me! They freeze at the sight of them and simply get mauled or gobbled up by one of these titans!
" Shigure, Saeko, help the others quickly!"
""Yes!""
Also, it didn't help that many didn't have the mobility provided by the equipment to rise in the air! Without their assistance, the vast majority of soldiers became easy prey for the titans!
We had no choice but for the girls and me to move to minimize casualties. The good thing is that for us it was a little easier to deal with titans of this size, so quickly the bodies of these are giving off white smoke when extracting the crystal from them.
“ Y-You… do you know what you've done?! ”
“Damn cowards!!”
“ Do you know how many soldiers have died because of you?!! ”
“I-If you had continued to do your job, then… th-then **** would be alive!!”
Upon securing the location, we found several of the survivors from the team tasked with supplying the other teams. Most of them were hiding… when the titans invaded this place, they didn't have the courage to face them and instead hid in small corners while trembling in fear.
Seeing this, many of those who came couldn't help but burst out and throw all their resentment at them.
Well, to their credit I'm going to say that it really takes a lot of courage to face a titan for the first time... those things really seem like they come straight from a person's darkest nightmares!
Also, many probably understand this… though they still can't help but feel a bit resentful towards these guys, after a few yells, they just put on complicated looks by probably putting themselves in their shoes. Not many would charge straight at these titans after seeing them rip their comrades to shreds.
…yes, there weren't just titan bodies on the ground in this place. You could also find some human hands or feet scattered around there!!
“Stop! This is no time to fight each other!!
The first thing we must do is resupply, and return to deliver more supplies to the other teams… otherwise, more lives will be lost uselessly!”
““…””
As I was grabbing some gas tanks to exchange for the empty ones on my team, the captain tries to take control. Thanks to this, the discussion ends and everyone begins to follow his instructions.
So, finishing what I was doing, I quickly go to the roof of the building. I was still worried about Eren's situation!!
“T-This is…”
“A-Amazing…”
“T-That titan did this by himself?”
"...u-unfortunately it seems that he also couldn't go against the difference in numbers"
“…”
Well, the scene I came across was definitely surprising… I can't help but get a little distracted by this! Some dozens of titans were in the streets of the city... also, many buildings collapsed due to their fight!
It's not until I hear the voice of some people who also followed me that I come to and start looking for Eren. Then, after following the gaze of someone who had discovered it before me, I see that Eren titan's body collapsed while still some of the other titans try to devour it.
“ Whaaa!!!”
…as if sensing my gaze, he somehow regains some energy and he gets up to continue his madness! Yeah, there's no other way to describe this… since he had lost both of his arms now and even a foot, he was attacking while crawling with the only way he probably had left…his teeth!!
"...come on, we have to help... that titan"
“”Understood ””
“W-Wait! Why do you want to help that titan?!! ”
Although Eren was still trying to fight in some way, it was more than obvious that he wouldn't resist much longer… so I intended to move to rescue him! Unfortunately, before I can do that, someone gets in my way.
…damn it, this was troublesome. I couldn't just say that it was Eren, one of us, right? If I said it, that would probably complicate things even more... but I couldn't just leave it like that either.
"...he's right, we should help him."
“E-Eh? Are you also supporting this madness, Riner?
Have you two gone crazy? It's a damn titan we're talking about!! Surely it will not hesitate to try to devour anyone who approaches it!! ”
Just as I was going to push the guy out of my way to continue, someone else steps in. Unsurpassed, he was one of the subjects I had to look for!! Looks like we weren't the only ones who came here to see what was going on with the supply station, I see several other people from other teams had arrived as well.
…or maybe, the fact that Eren was fighting in his titan form was too conspicuous for everyone else who was watching him and they couldn't help but come to see what was going on!
Of course, along with him, there was also the other guy and the two girls from the special mission! My eyes quickly go from one to the other while in my mind I begin to try to deliberate which of them would be the one I could incapacitate first!
In the end, I stop my hands that were slowly and discreetly reaching for my swords... starting to fight with them here would definitely be the worst idea! After all, 3 of them surpassed the 5th limit of the second soul realm after transforming!
Besides, the destruction and death that would spread all over this place would only make things worse…especially the guy who could transform into a 50m + titan! That thing could be considered a weapon of mass destruction!!
…for now, I should focus on completing the other mission of sealing the hole in the wall first. After that, I think there will be enough time to focus on the next matter. As long as no one finds out that the ones responsible for all this chaos are among us, I shouldn't worry about them escaping...
“ Whaaah!!”
“L-Look!!”
Eren finally reached his limit… after another huge scream, he collapses back to the ground… but I think this time he will hardly get up again.
And my assumption is quickly proven when the body of the 15m titan begins to rapidly disintegrate in a torrent of smoke… everyone inevitably turns their gaze intently to that spot, and then many stop breathing and are totally paralyzed by what they see
““…””
Well, this was not surprising… it was certainly quite shocking to see that inside a titan the silhouette of a person begins to be distinguished! Eren's body had come out of what was still left of the giant body disintegrating!!
