The lightning shards covered the bodies of the puppets like the second layer of skin. Soon they exuded a bright blueish purple light as Eren activated them all at once.
Meanwhile, he pushed against the puppet's hammer using his sword. And he used the recoil to move away from the puppet.
Boom!
The lightning shards were detonated all at once on the puppet before it could even try to get rid of them. A cluster of lightning bloomed where the hammer-wielding puppet stood.
When the lightning cluster cleared up, Eren saw that the hammer the puppet was holding was still intact. Its wielder's body was fractured from various angles after being struck by lightning shards.
The hammer-wielding puppet's ruby-red eyes stopped glowing as it kept on looking at Eren. In the next moment, it crashed to the ground.
Eren had managed to take care of one of the puppets just a minute into the fight.
