"How did everything get out of control to this point? Why did the female titan attack me?" Takashi couldn't understand, but that didn't matter now.
Looking at the situation he was in, Takashi had to do something to survive. It no longer mattered when years of life he would lose or if he would be exposed to the public, he cared about nothing but getting out of here together with Sasha.
Making a decision, Takashi took a deep breath and cold sweat ran down his body. The wounds, though superficial, gave him a haggard look, the cut on his forehead also showed how hard he had been fighting since the operation began.
"Right, the titans are my enemies and unlike others, I will take care of eliminating them one by one with the power of my eyes, I must find the right time and situation." Takashi muttered under his breath.
"Bam!"
The footsteps of the titans were getting louder and louder, about eight titans had already entered the street where Takashi and Sasha were.
Fully activating his eyes, Takashi felt a power slowly overflowing from his pupils, the second form of his Susanoo will be enough to eliminate the titans around them.
"This is my first time debuting my Susanoo in this world, as I will only release the second form I hope I won't draw too much attention." Having those thoughts, Takashi activated the second form of his Susanoo.
Just as the hands of a four meter titan were about to grab Takashi, a burst of Chakra slowly formed a skeletal body that covered not only Takashi, but also Sasha.
The second form of his Susanoo manifested the torso bones of his body and covered both Sasha and Takashi completely, then the Chakra moved and created two long arms and a skull.
The demonic appearance of Takashi's Susanoo made the earth tremble, the air tightened and the titans suddenly stopped their movements.
"Apparently a little over six meters tall, for a skeletal body that's not bad at all." Takashi thought as he felt the power he now held in his hands.
Don't underestimate the power of a skeletal Susanoo, his defenses are enough so that fifteen meter titans can't give him a scratch. Its long, strong arms could crush the heads of all titans with ease.
It is true that this form could not defeat the bigger titans, but it is enough for now. While Takashi was thinking, a four meter tall titan had already started to bite his body. However, due to the high defense, the titan's mouth began to steam.
With an expression full of determination, Takashi began the attack. Not knowing how much time he has before his power begins to fade, he didn't want to spend any more years continuing to maintain this form.
"Bom!"
Several titans had already rushed towards Takashi's Susanoo. Among them, a ten-meter titan and an eleven-meter titan attacked him in all directions.
Takashi could no longer delay, at this moment, the long hand of his Susanoo reached out towards the head of the four-meter titan and from a strong grip burst like a watermelon.
The strong air pressure greatly damaged the surrounding terrain, killing the first titan, Takashi did not stop and held the neck of an eight-meter titan and with his right hand pierced its face.
Although the movements were somewhat slow, the attack effectiveness was far superior for any titan to resist. Takashi's sharp gaze observed all the titans holding his left arm and with his right hand he attacked the titan's skull.
He didn't know if the attacks killed the titans on the spot, so he only stopped attacking if the titans stopped their movements.
The strong waves of attacks quickly raised a curtain of smoke and steam. Takashi did not know how much time had passed, but his attacks were still with the same intensity.
With enormous force, Takashi attacked with all his might at a five-meter titan coming in his direction at full speed.
"Shhh! Bom!"
With a punch, the titan shot off at high speed. So far, Takashi has successfully killed five titans. His long purple arms pressed hard on the skull of another titan before killing it from the pressure.
The ground was painted red, the steam and dust caused the surroundings to fill with a smokescreen.
Now, a thirteen meter titan was slowly approaching Takashi. Having the disadvantage because of the height, he attacked first on its legs to make it fall.
"Claap!"
Takashi attacked the titan's legs and with a bit of slowness made it fall to the ground, his hands dragged the titan to the side to get a better view of its neck.
Having only one point to kill them, Takashi had to prioritize physical attacks on its skull or neck.
With both hands, the purple Susanoo ripped off the titan's arm. Blood gushed everywhere and Takashi seized the moment to attack its neck.
"Bam! Bam! Bam!"
Takashi attacked the titan's neck until it stopped moving, looking around, there was only one titan left nearby.
The titan's slow movements made Takashi sigh with relief, and the bodies around the Susanoo began to pile up on each other.
"I don't think I have much time left, this power isn't unlimited after all." Takashi muttered with a worried expression.
When the titan was within reach of his hands, Takashi's Susanoo reached out and held the titan's neck in a matter of seconds.
With the force exerting pressure, the titan's head had been torn off. After killing the last titan in the vicinity, Takashi's Susanoo began to lose Chakra intensity.
Knowing that the first form had lost its power, Takashi deactivated his eyes and the Chakra began to slowly fade.
However, just as he was about to take a breath, a pair of titans entered from across the street.
"This is endless, it can't be." Takashi frowned, but just as his concern was about to rise, a soldier moved quickly and cut the titans down at high speed.
"Slash! Slash!"
With his keen eyesight, Takashi discovered that it was Captain Levi.
The titans whose necks were severed fell silent to the ground soon after. Takashi knew he had already been discovered.
After the Susanoo slowly lost its power, the Chakra and spiritual form slowly disappeared.
As if something slipped out of his soul, Takashi felt like he had lost about new years of useful life. He did not know how to explain it, but he now felt a very uncomfortable emptiness inside him.
Upon being discovered by the famous Captain Levi, Takashi smiled bitterly and his thoughts were now in chaos.
"Hey, brat, what's your mother's name?" Captain Levi, with his swords in both hands, looked at Takashi with a serious expression.
"Before you tell me what's going on, what was your mother's name? No, what's your name?" Levi asked in a serious voice.
"My name is Takashi Ackerman, my mother I remember her name was Perla, Perla Ambris!" Takashi said in a tired voice, today independent of the results, it had been a great day.
"Perla... So that's her, I'm not surprised." Levi said with a somewhat unnatural expression. "Hey, don't tell anyone about what happened here, I'll talk to you later."
"I, I don't understand..." Takashi was stunned.
"Captain Levi, there are more titans approaching in the vicinity." At that moment, several soldiers began to descend from the wall towards the city.
"Start clearing the place, we don't know what happened yet but apparently they took it upon themselves to seal the gate." Levi said in a voice full of authority.
Finally, with the help of the scouting corps, Takashi and Sasha were able to return safely.
A group of soldiers climbed from the nearest wall to the top, Takashi's face showed no calmness or relief, what worried him now was Levi's behavior.
"He knows my mother? He didn't seem very surprised when he looked at my Susanoo, that power is supposed to be new to this world, it doesn't make sense what is happening." Takshi was very nervous, he didn't know what to do.
As Takashi moved forward with Sasha on his back, she suddenly opened her eyes. She didn't open her mouth or say anything, she just looked with thoughtful eyes at what had happened a few moments ago.
She couldn't see clearly, but she knew that Takashi was the one who saved her. However, what she could see was that there were many titans in the vicinity. How could Takashi defeat them without his three-dimensional maneuvering equipment?
Without thinking much about what had happened, she was thankful that she had survived the situation and said, "I'm hungry..."
Takashi, who was snapped out of his thoughts, said, "Sasha.... I'm glad you're awake, your father wouldn't forgive me for not taking good care of his daughter."
"Don't say that... The good thing is to stay alive, once we are no longer in this world, the food can't be devoured by us." Sasha smiled reassuringly.
At the Trost district wall, Takashi walked with a group of soldiers from the Garrison and Survey Corps, now even with the wall sealed, the clearing operation had begun.
The noise of cannons could be heard in the distance, the Survey Corps began eliminating the titans as soon as they reached the city, but they would stop after a while.
After meeting up with the main force, Sasha was checked for serious injuries. As for Takashi, he was wiping his face with a wet handkerchief that Christa had given him.
His face was grim, he had just received the news that many soldiers had died, including Daz. Takashi at first had nothing with Daz, but then he discovered that if he didn't have the power of Susanoo, Chakra and a strong aptitude, he would quite possibly be Daz's equal.
This time, he was lucky to have survived, if he didn't have the power to use the Susanoo, he would have died today like many of his acquaintances and companions.
Many of the soldiers in the distance had surrounded Eren, their general questions ranged from: how did you close the wall? How can you become a titan? Though the vast majority preferred to keep their distance without daring to approach.
After Takashi wiped the blood on his face, he received medical treatment on his forehead opening. There were many injured people, so everything was in chaos.
Jean walked to Takashi and said, "Hey, the captain of the vanguard, you are the one who became the center of attention this time, of course after Eren. You fought many titans alone, a real surprise, I was about to help you but fortunately you finished quickly."
Takashi smiled slightly, honestly he wasn't in the mood for jokes now. He didn't know if he was discovered by anyone other than Levi, just like he didn't know why Levi didn't seem interested in his ability to use a power similar to the titans and most importantly, why did the female titan attack him?
"Today was a tiring day, I'm glad you survived." Takashi said directly. "Do you know anything about your family?"
Jean was taken aback by Takashi's answers, he didn't know he of all people could be so gloomy after this war. "Takashi, you've killed the most titans, don't turn that attention away."
"That may be true, but that doesn't take away from the fact that many of our comrades have died." Takashi closed his eyes wearily. He thought he could have made a change by being on the front lines of the battle, how naive he was.
Not only did more people die, but he could not even perform miracles to save them. His stay in this world for now meant nothing. He felt motivated, but now all that confidence was gone.
Biting his fingernails, Takashi tried to sort out the doubts in his memory as much as he could.
It was still early. For now many soldiers were returning to the walls to reorganize, tomorrow there will surely be another large-scale war to cleanse the city.
According to the losses, of the vanguard group only five members survived, two captains and three soldiers including Eren and Mikasa.
Mina, Daz, many had died from the training corps. As for the soldiers who made a direct attack against the titans, at least more than half had died out of the two hundred sent to the field.
There were at least two hundred casualties, those not including those lost in the decoy operation.
After everything was settled, they finally met with Commander Pixis who had remained on top of the wall all this time.
