Chereads / Infinite Worlds: Attack on Titan / Chapter 61 - Something different

Chapter 61 - Something different

After Sasha, Christa and Ymir arrived, many soldiers from the Garrison corps arrived as reinforcements. 

"Those who still have gas, head towards where Eren and Mikasa are, they will definitely be in danger once Eren turns back to human." Takashi said with a cold expression. 

"Understood!" 

Several soldiers of the Garrison corps headed at high speed in the direction where Eren had collapsed, considering this victory, all of humanity had seen hope in Eren Jaeger. 

"Takashi, we should go back!" Sasha said with a worried expression. 

"Yeah... I'm just catching my breath, I still can't believe everything that's happened." Takashi held his forehead with a thoughtful expression. 

On the outside, everyone but Ymir should have thought that Takashi, like everyone else, was surprised that humanity had won a battle for the first time. However, Takashi wasn't just saying that because of what happened on the battlefield, but because he still couldn't believe that he had participated in this battle and came out unscathed. 

Everything had happened so fast and he was slowly approaching a future full of darkness, soon he would not have the proper knowledge to decide what to do and how to prepare. 

Just as he was about to return along with Sasha and the others, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance and suddenly a draft of dusty air reached where Takashi was standing. 

"What the hell was that?" Ymir looked into the distance only to stare at a yellow-haired skinless titan. 

"The female titan?" Takashi was stunned as he looked at that titan that shouldn't have appeared just now. 

Is it coming for Eren? 

"No, that can't be it, what's her target? It doesn't make sense for it to appear now, this shouldn't have happened just now." Takashi had a serious expression on his face. 

Is the Survey corps still not coming back? 

Releasing the blades, Takashi replaced them with new ones and looked in the direction of the female titan that remained standing. 

"An abnormal titan?" Sasha muttered with a strange expression. 

"Doesn't it move?" 

"It's strange, it seems to be looking at us with a piercing gaze." 

All the soldiers around Takashi started talking about the female titan that appreciated with a loud rumble, strangely no lightning characteristic of shapeshifters could be seen. 

"Ymir, I need you to protect Eren at all costs. I'm not sure, but that titan is anything but normal." Takashi suddenly looked at Ymir and said in a serious voice. 

Ymir made eye contact with Takashi and immediately understood what was going on. "You don't have much gas, what are you planning to do?" 

"I'm going to stop her at all costs, I can't let her try to do something to Eren." Takashi looked at everyone and shouted, "Retreat everyone towards the ramparts with Eren, avoid contact with the titan in front of us at all costs if she pursues you." 

Voicing his thoughts, Takashi headed towards where the female titan was. He doesn't know what the situation is, but he definitely had to stop her. 

"If I manage to hold on until the Exploration corps returns, I won't have to release my Susanoo to stand up to that titan." Takashi muttered under his breath with an indescribable feeling. 

Shwoosh!" 

"Takashi wait, you don't have gas to kill that titan." Sasha didn't understand Takashi's concern for that titan that appeared in the distance. Looking at Ymir, Sasha searched to find answers. 

"We have to get away from that titan and go back to the wall, it might be dangerous since we don't have enough gas to keep fighting either." Ymir was convinced, although she didn't know how Takashi was sure that this skinless titan was a smart titan, she had to trust him. 

Just as Sasha was about to speak, a loud roar was heard coming from that titan. 

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!" 

"Roar!" 

"What's going on?" Sasha said as everyone in the vicinity was startled by the female titan's roar. 

"How can..." Ymir was disconnected. 

However, suddenly all the titans in the surroundings headed in the direction where the female titan was. 

Seeing all this, Takashi, who was worried that the female titan would attack Eren, stopped. 

"No, her intention is not to attack Eren for now, what is she doing calling out to all the titans in the surroundings?" Takashi wondered quietly. 

"Takashi, what's going on?" a soldier from the garrison corps approached along with other soldiers. 

"We have to get out of here, the titans from all over the Trost district will very soon be in this place." Takashi tightened the mages on his swords as the female titan's gaze fixed in his direction. 

"How do you know?" The garrison corps soldier did not know from where prior to that information. 

Takashi, who was looking at the female titan, suddenly stopped abruptly. He felt that gaze that was evaluating him from head to toe, he finally knew that that female titan was not interested in capturing Eren, but was fixedly attracted to him. 

"No, we have to run away now!" Takashi said with a nervous expression. 

In the original story, he vaguely recalled that the female titan completely wiped out a special forces squad. Even that squad that might be one of the strongest in humanity couldn't handle the female titan, so his attempts to distract her would be useless if that titan is fixated on him to begin with. 

"Takashi, we have to get out of here!" At that moment, a female voice was heard in the distance. "Titans from all over the city are heading in our direction, we have to run away." 

"No, Sasha..." Without a second thought, Takashi turned around and started to flee. 

"Whooosh!" 

Completely ignoring the surroundings, Takashi used his three-dimensional maneuvering equipment to head toward the now-sealed door of the Trost district. 

"Takashi, that's not the address!" 

"What's going on cadet?" 

The female titan then started moving at high speed in Takashi's direction! 

"Be careful, that titan seems to be abnormal!" The soldiers in front of Takashi prepared to attack the female titan, even so Takashi didn't stop them. 

"Sasha, we have to head towards the nearest wall." Takashi, who started to flee together with Sasha, moved at high speed towards the gate that had been sealed. 

"No, no, no, no, how did this change happen? What is the meaning of all this happening?" Takashi's expression was blank, he didn't understand why the female titan appeared before everyone so normally. 

"Takashi, Eren and the others have gone up to the wall, we need to get out of here." Ymir shouted from afar. 

"Understood!" 

"Shhhh!" 

Takashi, who was ready to climb the wall, discovered that the compressed gas in his tanks had run out. Because the gas ran out, Takashi was left with no way to escape from the situation he found himself in. 

"Bam!" 

Losing his fuel, Takashi fell on top of a building. He prepared himself to fall in the best mint way possible and covered with Chakra his body to minimize the blows. 

"Takashi!" 

Sasha, who realized Takashi had fallen, used her three-dimensional maneuvering equipment to go to his aid. "Are you all right?" 

"Cof! Cof! I ran out of gas, I killed more titans than I could a moment ago, it was a good thing Eren and the others escaped." Takashi patted his body nervously. There were cuts on his hands and knees, the blow just now was very dangerous. 

"Ahhhh!" 

In the distance, the soldiers who had prepared to stop the female titan had died without a chance to do anything. When Sasha discovered this, she began to panic. 

"I guess in the end I'll be exposed like Eren, I was a fool for not considering the gas I had better. Wanting to save Eren, I dug my own trap." Takashi made fun of himself for being so stupid.

Sasha walked towards Takashi and shouted, "Quick, we have to get out of this place, I'll take you." 

"This can't be happening..." Takashi, who seemed not to hear Sasha's words, was thinking of all the consequences of releasing his power in front of everyone. 

"Takashi, get up or we will die at the hands of other titans!" 

As soon as Takashi recovered, his eyes looked at Sasha's and it was then that he thought there was a way out! 

Takashi stood up and even though he thought it would be embarrassing, his body leaned back against the small of Sasha's back. 

"Hold on tight, we'll get out of this place and in return I won't owe you any more food." Sasha smiled nervously and with the help of her three-dimensional maneuvering equipment moved between the buildings. 

"Sasha... I'm not going to let you die, I promise." Although the words were spoken softly, Sasha heard it clearly. 

Titans throughout the city began to move to the right of the sealed door, it was known that the roar of the female titan could attract titans in the surrounding area. 

The female titan that came out of Takashi's radar, moved at full speed towards the direction where Eren and the others were. According to Reiner's words, Annie had to make sure that Eren was not devoured by the titans, while the secondary mission was to get rid of Takashi. 

The footsteps of the titans could be heard in the surroundings, Takashi knew that it would be impossible to climb the wall being two people. At least, it would be very difficult to accomplish. 

Sasha was also very scared, right now she didn't know what to do besides getting away from that female titan that Takashi was very scared of. 

Maneuvering the equipment, the rope tightened, the gas sprayed and because Sasha was dodging many titans the movements were jerky. 

"Faster, faster, come on Sasha..." Sasha was muttering under his breath, the speed they were traveling at was considerably high, but the gas to move two people had also increased. 

"Sasha, to our left are two twelve meter titans, moving towards the wall." Takashi reported on the surrounding situation. "Sasha, today I will definitely give you my bread." 

At that moment, there were no more titans in front, but Takashi sensed that something was not right. Looking to the right, Takashi could only see a blur heading in his direction. 

Making a decision, Takashi activated his first form to defend himself as best as possible from that blast heading towards his direction. 

"Burst!!!" 

Sasha and Takashi's body went flying with a kick, the female titan who looked like her job was done, stood still for a few moments before averting her gaze and leaving the place. 

.

In the distance, Takashi and Sasha had shot off at high speed, even if the power of the first form had been activated, the high pressure of the air could still be felt. 

"Cof! Cof! Cof!" 

Takashi coughed through the rubble of the building they crashed into, feeling dazed from the heavy blow he had received. 

"Sasha, are you all right?" Takashi asked in a slightly hoarse voice. 

Sasha's body was in Takashi's arms, seeing that he had only lost consciousness she sighed in relief. 

"That was close, quite possibly that would have been the end of me if I hadn't used the power of my eyes." Takashi said softly. 

Looking at the slightly broken bones of his defense, he felt that quite possibly one more blow at that speed and force would have broken his defenses. 

As Takashi deactivated the first form of his Susanoo, the purple colored Chakra bones slowly disappeared. The next moment, an emptiness was felt in Takashi's chest. 

"So that's the feeling, something uncomfortable." Takashi muttered as he felt his years had shrunk. 

Knowing they were in great danger, Takashi checked Sasha's three-dimensional maneuvering equipment to see if they could get out of this place. 

The building they were in had received severe damage, so it was not ideal to stay for long in this place. 

"It's damaged..." Takashi sighed coldly as he realized the situation. Taking Sasha between his shoulders, he quickly left the building to find a safer place. 

However, as soon as he stepped out, the footsteps of several titans could be heard in the vicinity. And in a matter of seconds, they were surrounded by class 4/8 titans. 

"Shit..." Sweating coldly, Takashi knew they had no escape. The female titan's roar had called out to many titans, this place would possibly be infested with titans as time passed.
