Chapter 56: The Fall of the Higanshina District
Chapter 56: The Fall of the Higanshina District
With the knife he had snatched from Hannes, Nightfall came to the giant and looked at it.
Judging from the appearance, it magnifies a person several times, and even the expression looks a little funny.
Looking at the oncoming giant, Nightshade couldn't help but smile excitedly, blood-red lines appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his pupils gradually turned scarlet.
"Ah, let me have a good time." Unable to suppress the desire to kill in his heart, Nightshade began to run, and in an instant he came to the front of the giant.
When the giant saw Nightfall approaching, he subconsciously bent down and grabbed Nightfall.
"Get out of here, let's go!" Not far away, Hannes cried out in worry.
Nightshade turned a deaf ear, twisted lightly, dodging the giant's hand, and then raised the knife, relying on the inertia of running, the blade slashed through the giant's ankle in an instant.
The giant whose ankle was cut off lost his balance and fell to the ground weakly, and when he turned his head, he saw that the giant's wound began to emit steam, and the wound was recovering little by little.
"Is it true that the weakness is only the back of the neck?" Nightfall leaped to its feet, running down the giant's massive body toward its back.
"The giant's weakness is in the back of the neck." Hannes was taken aback by Nightfall's skill, and after barely coming back to his senses, he quickly reminded him that he wondered why Nightshade didn't have fear, wasn't he afraid?
"No problem." Nightshade responded coldly, the back of his neck was ten centimeters wide and one meter long.
Nightfall instantly reached the back of the giant's neck, and the blade in his hand slashed through the back of the giant's neck like lightning.
"Poof......
A sound of cutting flesh sounded, and a piece of meat on the back of the neck broke away from the giant's body, and then the giant who was originally struggling on the ground suddenly lay on the ground weakly and became a corpse.
Blood sprayed on Nightfall's body, and in an instant, it slowly dissipated as if it had evaporated. Nightshade looked at the clothes on his body and couldn't help but nod, he didn't have to worry about washing clothes when fighting giants in the future.
What the hell is wrong with this world, an eleven-year-old child can slay giants, this amazing scene simply turns Hannes's outlook on life upside down.
Nightshade silently walked up to him, thrust the knife into the scabbard at the other's waist, and strode over to Karla's side, holding the beam with both hands on Calla's body.
"...... Start"
Nightfall's arms puffed up slightly, and then he lifted the entire beam abruptly. Although she was amazed by Nightfall's strength, Karla was still awake and quickly crawled out of the rubble.
Nightshade looked at Karla's legs, which were scratched but had no problems at all, and sure enough, what he said before was just to trick Eren so that Eren could leave quickly.
Carla, who had survived the catastrophe, hugged Alan excitedly.
"Okay, let's go quickly, the gate is destroyed, there will be more and more giants, and it will not be easy to walk if it drags on." Nightshade looked at the city gate, the oversized giants were gone, but a steady stream of giants were invading the huge hole at the gate.
"Ah, yes! Let's go! Coming back to their senses, Hannes and the others hurriedly ran towards the inner door of the Wall of Mary.
…………
Nightshade and his party finally escaped from the almost completely fallen district of Higanshina, and sat on the ship, where they met Ermin, who had already arrived on the ship. They were more likely to get on board because of Hannes's relationship than the average person.
Only a small number of people were able to get on the boat, yes, officially, the world was cruel, the ship was quickly filled, the soldiers of the garrison corps took the boarding board, ignoring the insults and pleadings of countless people on the shore, the boat opened, and countless emotional people on the shore jumped directly and tried to board the boat directly, but most of them just fell into the water.
"Bang~"
The inner gate of the Wall of Mary was broken by a gray shadow, and a giant in silver-gray armor was seen stopping by the broken gate with the action of finishing his sprint, and at his feet were two ravines drawn by inertia.
Thus, after the Higanshina district, the wall of Maria, the first protective wall of mankind, was declared to have fallen, as if in the same process, the city gate was destroyed by giants, and a large number of ordinary giants poured into the wall of Maria along the hole, and a third of the living area of mankind was about to be lost.
"Nightfall, do you think those giants are scary?" Alan clenched his fists tightly and asked Nightfall.
"No, I think most giants, except for being bigger than ordinary people, are just punching bags that they want to beat." Nightfall fumbled with the black bracelet made of IXA on his wrist, thinking about how he could kill the Armored Giant.
“…… I also feel so, I want to expel them from the territory of mankind, not a single one! Alan gritted his teeth and said that before the giants invaded, he longed for life outside the walls, but when the giants invaded, when he saw his mother almost die, this thought became even stronger.
"Alan, you can't go, if you go to fight the giants, the thought of you leaving your mother hurts." Calla gripped Allen's shoulders tightly, as if Allen would disappear as soon as she let go.
"Mom, I can promise you anything else, but this is the only thing, I don't have the strength to protect the relatives around me, I don't want to experience this feeling of powerlessness anymore, so ...... Allow me to be willful one more time. Alan bit his lip and said, he didn't want to experience this feeling of being almost separated from his loved ones but unable to do anything about it, he hoped that he could be strong, strong enough to protect the people around him.
"Karla, remember what I said to you? Sometimes people can't choose their own destiny, because danger never awaits you, and eagles can never learn to fly in a warm nest, how to grow into an eagle without going through hardships. Seeing what else Karla wanted to say, Nightshade spoke.
"......" Hearing Nightfall's words, Karla was silent, she also understood these truths, but ...... But......
"Alan, you promised your mother that you wouldn't die no matter what, and you would definitely survive no matter what!" Calla hugged Alan excitedly with tears in her eyes, as a mother, sometimes it was a psychological torment to make up her mind to let him go.
"Hmmm! I'm not going to die, I'm never going to ......" Alan nodded heavily, his words carrying a strong confidence in himself.
"I'll ...... together," Suddenly Emin also said, "I don't want you to take care of me all the time, I want to be really strong!" ”
"And me, I'll be with Nightfall, and I'm still a little relieved about Alan." Mikasa bit her lip and said firmly.
"It seems that I can't be idle." Nightshade looked at a soldier of the garrison at the bow of the ship, he had been staring at him for a long time since he got on the boat, and it seemed that he had seen not many people killing the giant, otherwise even if Hannes said it, it would not have been so easy for anyone to pay attention to him.
