Chereads / Infinite Worlds: Attack on Titan / Chapter 108 - The beginning of the end

Chapter 108 - The beginning of the end

"Wait, Eren, I have something to tell you." 

"What is it?" Eren asked intently. 

Reiner, who stopped Eren, confessed all his crimes, "Five years ago we destroyed the Maria wall and attacked humanity, I am the armored titan and he is the colossal." 

"What are you saying, Reiner?" asked Bertholdt. 

Pulling Bertholdt's arm away, ignoring Eren and Bertholdt who were sweating nervously, Reiner looked so normal and said, "Our goal was for humanity to disappear completely. But now it's no longer necessary, Eren, if you come with us we won't have to destroy the walls anymore..." 

As an arrogant friend, Reiner was persuading Eren to return with them to their hometown, Eren for his part was very confused and anxious, how should he continue to act in this condition? 

Reiner realized that he still had the identity of a Marley Warrior, but he was so sick that he did not realize that the Reiner who destroyed the wall and the Reiner soldier who lived inside the wall were the same person, he was mentally broken. 

He also naively thought that after confessing that he was the armored titan, he could act like an old friend and persuade Eren to go with him.   

From a great friend's point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with inviting a friend to visit his hometown, but is the armored titan a friend?   

Eren tried at all costs to let this go by saying that Reiner was too tired and was now talking pure nonsense, but Reienr had finally figured it all out....  

"That's right... I lived too long in this place surrounded by pure idiots, we were kids and we knew nothing..." Reiner didn't know what was right or wrong, he had seen both sides of the coin but now he was about to take responsibility as the Warrior he is and face its consequences. 

Reluctantly he removed the bandage from his right hand and under Eren's surprised gaze, the wound on his hand began to steam and heal quickly. 

Takashi, who was standing in front, sighed and pulled out his two knives, after all, he had to deal with the outsiders with his swords.   

Two Ackermans were waiting for the moment, two powerful soldiers who were about to cut down their enemies without a second thought. 

"Be careful!" Bertholdt shouted hurriedly when he saw Takashi pull out his two knives and ran towards him. 

Because Takashi's performance under the castle aroused his fear, he had been paying attention to his position all along! 

Whistling! 

With a flash of the knife, Reiner, who was reminded in time by his partner, twisted to the side to avoid Takashi's strike. If the blade had hit him, he might have been cut in half from the center of his head in even shapes!

Still, Reiner's arm was cut off. 

Mikasa was a little slower but moved towards Reiner and thrust another blade into his hand. 

There was no stalemate in Takashi's movements. Although the enemy took precautions and couldn't assassinate Reiner, Takashi swerved and rushed forward like an arrow leaving Rener to Miaksa. 

"Wosh!" 

Accompanied by the sound of the wind breaking, the bead of the knife glowed with a bluish light and Takashi quickly slashed Bertholdt's neck. 

His pupils constricted, and Bertholdt was the first to pull back, narrowly dodging the cut, and the tip of the blade only grazed his neck.  

Too bad he didn't know what he could do, and Takashi pressed the button to release his blade and it shot toward Bertholdt's neck like an arrow. 

With white eyes, Bertholdt covered his neck, but it was useless, the blood gushed out just the same. Now only half of his neck was connected to his head, and in an instant the scene was bloody and horrible. 

"You!" Reiner's eyes were tearing, and electric arcs surged in his body. 

He hadn't changed his body before, and he still had physical strength, so even if his arm was cut off, he could still transform into a titan. 

The golden lightning danced wildly over the bloodied Berthold, but he did not die. 

Reiner couldn't help but be surprised, did Bertholdt transfer his consciousness to the spinal cord so quickly? 

It was a bit late, but Berthold unexpectedly continued to protect Reiner. 

In just a split second, Takashi, who was also aware of the abnormality, reacted very fast and instinctively lifted his foot without even dropping Berthold's body, which was almost decapitated. 

Auge! 

With a choked sound, Takashi kicked his body with his grudge-filled leg, throwing him straight out of the city wall. 

"You seem to be very angry, Reiner, you guys think you're immortal and others can't kill you like ants?" Takashi looked at Reiner coldly, trying to make time for Mikasa to retreat with Eren. 

"I'll cut you into pieces like I did with Annie, by the way, she told me they're Marley's, is that right?" 

Reienr's expression froze before he could say anything. 

"Go, Eren!", Hange Zoe and the others reacted as well, trying to run while shouting. 

Auge! 

With a flash of lightning, Berthold in midair transformed into the colossal titan and fell heavily to the ground with his back on the ground. 

The ground shook for a moment and the sky was filled with dust and steam! 

Everyone on the wall was unsteady, and many of them almost fell off the wall. 

Reiner took advantage of the situation to become the armored titan and hit Takashi with his fist. 

Auge! 

Accompanied by a loud noise, Reiner punched the air with a fierce punch and the surface of the wall cracked.

Despite being a bit unstable, Takashi still jumped backwards flexibly, jumped 4 meters away and avoided the blow. 

But this blow was only to force him back. The armored titan held Eren with a surprised expression with the other hand, slid down from the city wall and entered the territory of the Maria wall.

The last illusion that Reiner was an enemy was shattered, and Eren, who was caught by Reiner, could not help but shed tears and bite hard on the thumb of his left hand. 

Auge! 

Another golden lightning flash shone wildly, breaking free from the armored titan's palm, Eren transformed into a titan and attacked Reiner. 

Auge! 

Eren in midair struck the armored titan's face, knocking its heavy body backwards and the two separated for a moment before falling under the wall. 

Auge! Auge! 

As the titans landed on the ground, their bodies crashed hard and the ground caved in. Once the two stood up their eyes met, both as Eren and Reiner were with confused feelings. 

The colossal titan on the other hand lay face up on the ground, steaming steam and unable to move, for some strange reason, it has shown no sign of movement since it hit the ground.

Putting aside the thoughts that distanced him, Eren rushed over and punched the armored titan in the chest, the armored titan's body resisted the heavy blow with its hardened skin.   

The armored titan covered his face with a backhand strike. 

Auge! 

With his face twisted and deformed, Eren went flying from the punch and his body fell to the ground, leaving a great deal of damage in the surrounding area.

"Metallic Noise!" 

Mikasa took the opportunity to slash the back of the armored titan's neck with her knives, but the blade split instantly, leaving only two marks on the hard surface of the titan's skin. 

Seeing the armored titan walking towards Eren, he switched his broken blades and slashed once more, unable to believe that he could not be harmed.   

"Metallic Noise!" 

The result was the same, the swords basically can't hurt the armored titan's skin.  

Not only had she arrived at the scene, due to Bertholdt being kicked off the wall by Takashi, the armored titan lay as if it had been killed, and they all attacked Reiner one after another.   

Auruo, Petra, Tina and other elites also approached to attack the armored titan. 

Crack! 

But still the attacks were useless and their swords broke, Reiner ignored them and walked firmly towards Eren. 

"Damn, the skin is so thick!" Auruo cursed as he looked at his knives that had broken so easily. 

"Captain, what should we do? Our swords don't seem to be able to hurt the armored titan." Moblit Berner asked at the wall with a bit of anxiety. 

Hange Zoe beside him was not responding, she was carefully observing the armor of the armored titan and occasionally glancing at the colossal titan, which lay motionless on the ground. 

"Fuhhh!" 

After letting out a long snort, Eren in his titan form stood up again, Takashi who had so far not moved to attack the armored titan appeared over his shoulder, clinging to the surface, his eyes watching the armored titan. 

He didn't make a move at this point for one simple reason, he didn't really know if his blades could hurt Reiner with his concentrated Chakra. Looking at Eren, Takashi remembered, "Eren, don't fight recklessly. Remember, the armor on the surface of his body has high defensive power. Use joint and effective skills so as not to win with force." 

Eren in his titan form let out a puff of hot air from his mouth and nodded to indicate that he understood.  

"Boom!" 

Heavy footsteps sounded, and the armored titan rushed up, shook his right fist and drew in the sound of air.   

Eren this time shortened his body and dodged the fierce attack.   

This time Eren passed through the armpit of the armored titan with one hand, seized the opportunity and locked a key around his neck, and with the other hand he squeezed hard, wrapping his left arm. 

"Clank!" 

With a flash of blood, Takashi took the opportunity to stab the armored titan in the right eye, after that Eren let out a roar and threw the titan, whose strength had weakened, towards the ground. 

Plaf! 

After rolling twice on the ground, with dust and stones flying everywhere, the armored titan tried to get up in a panic, but its body lasted without injury. 

He unconsciously covered his smoking right eye, and Reiner didn't mind too much, he would simply close it on the next attempt Takashi wanted to cut it out. 

The armored titan preserved, there was no way out, he ignored Takashi flying behind him and kept running towards Eren who was looking at him ready to attack again. 

"Swoosh!" 

Takashi's eyes glowed crimson red, and he decisively slashed the back of the armored titan's neck with his Chakra covered blades, leaving a scar on the armor not too deep or shallow. 

Reiner paused in his forward steps, unconsciously covered the back of his neck with his hand and turned to look at Takashi in disbelief.  

Takashi was not happy about how little he had accomplished, the power was not enough, and he had to strike again in the same place to break through the defenses of that armor. 

But Reiner was not a stationary target, he would not stand still and allow himself to be cut twice in the same place.  

Takashi looked carefully at the titan's body armor and his eyes lit up slightly when he saw the small gap between armor surfaces. 

"What's going on, why was Takashi able to hurt the titan's armor?" Auruo, who had combined his broken swords for a new one, opened his eyes wide and his face was full of doubt. 

Mikasa, Petra and Tina were also at a loss. 

Hange Zoe frowned slightly, also a bit taken aback. The only explanation would be that this was due to Takashi's abilities, but it was still incomprehensible.

On the battlefield, the colossal titan clutching the back of his neck was in a quandary for a while, Takashi and Eren exchanged glances. 

This time, Eren in his titan form rushed towards the armored titan. 

There was no room for too much hesitation, the armored titan could only keep on punching to engage him. Just as Reiner was about to take a step.... 

"Slashh!" 

After Takashi passed over the armored titan's thigh spinning with speed, the steel knife cut the small gap between the two armors behind the knee of his right leg at a complicated angle. 

Soplo! 

A spurt of blood splashed between the joints, and the armored titan stopped advancing, and its body staggered. 

Roar! 

With a roar, Eren took advantage of the gap and struck furiously at the armored titan's chin! 

"Boom!" 

The armor on the lower jaw of his each cracked slightly, and the armored titan half on the ground was shaken hard.

Due to the unhealed wound on the back of the knee of his right leg, he couldn't help but stagger back two steps staggering with the center of gravity of his body unstable. 

Boom! 

Amidst the turbulent air waves, Eren showed no mercy, he kicked the armored titan.
