"Dusty, you're so embarrassed, you almost fell, it seems that your old body is not good."

Irt didn't care what Dusty was thinking at the moment, and took the opportunity to mock.

"Hmph, I just haven't moved yet."

Dusty ignored Ilt and turned his gaze to the grass that was stirring around him again. Ilt also lifted Erinius in front of his body and assumed an attacking stance. Alan held his right hand deep on the hilt of the sword, and his left hand rested lightly on the end of the hilt.

Mistyn - The body of the sword that reflects the sunlight is dazzling, and although he is used to all kinds of artifacts, Dusty is still deeply attracted to the sword in front of him. The coiling dragon at the hilt of the sword was lifelike, as if sensing the master's posture and sword skills, and the dragon's mouth opened slightly, revealing the silver gem contained in it. The golden-blue normals that flow through the sword form Misettin's unique spell circuit, extending from the hilt to the tip of the sword. Even so, the blade was still as red as a flame, as if it was burning with a slightly transparent blade.

Inhuman blood dripped down Mistetin's sword, but it did not leave the slightest stain on the sword. It is an instrument of God, and no earthly filth can invade Him.

"It's finally out."

As soon as Eren finished speaking, the thieves who had been hiding nearby, I don't know when, suddenly jumped out and surrounded Dusty and them. Each of them had beards, and their overall outfits were a bit dirty. At first glance, it looks like there are eleven or twelve people, and this group of thieves is holding various weapons such as axes and short swords, silently forming an encirclement.

"It seems that this group of guys originally planned to let the inhuman monsters destroy our formation first, and then they will take out the rest themselves."

Ilt knows this low-level strategy commonly used by humans very well.

"They still think that everything will be under their control, but they don't know who they are facing now."

The thieves were armed with weapons, and they did not dare to act rashly. From the outside, these people are all alive, and it seems that they have been transferred here from some real place by a black shadow, just like the villagers who used to believe in the goddess of the moon.

Alan raised his sword to the level of the ground and flicked the blade with his fingers a few times, causing the remaining blood to drip from the blade.

"It's not human, but that's it. Hey, I'm talking about you."

Alan's fiery eyes burned like flames, and he looked around at the men of the group of thieves, and continued,

"Don't run away."

The thieves suddenly tensed. Tia and Ilt on the side were stunned, and Allen, who was usual, would not say such arrogant words, but looking at their friends in front of them, the two of them couldn't see the slightest abnormality, they could only watch the development of the situation with bated breath.

At this moment, the roar of a monster was suddenly heard. An inhuman clenched fist opened to the limit. Thin nails grow rapidly from five fingers. The monster waved its hand like a whip. The hook that curved inward swept towards Allen's face.

Allen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze followed the monster's movements. He lowered his sword slightly, and his body began to tilt to the lower right. The monster's hook struck with swiftness, skimming over Allen's slanted left shoulder. The monster's blow failed to destroy the target, but instead swung its head in one go. Alan turned to the underside of his arm, twisted his waist while stepping out of his right foot, and then took Misterine's hand and swung it up from below,

"Suddenly, sonic impact!"

The blade drew a vertical line from bottom to top in the air, and the monster's wrist was slashed off on the spot. The monster announced the pain of the wound with a miserable howl. Immediately after that, the monster swung its backhand again, and Eren jumped up lightly to the rear to dodge the attack, and jumped directly in front of the monster again as he landed. The monster was obviously taken aback by Allen's behavior, and at this moment, the blade flashed horizontally, and the brush brushed from the monster's left temple to the right temple. In the eyes of those thieves, Allen's smooth movements can only be described as 'rubbing'.

The top half of the monster's entire head was completely cut open by the sword, and at the same time as the skull split, the monster fell to the ground screaming, just like the first monster, except that it did not die immediately after losing half of its head, but struggled in pain. Alan didn't stop moving, the dust raised on the ground hadn't cleared yet, Alan took a step with his right foot, and swung his sword down again, and the chest of the inhuman monster in front of him suddenly cracked. The wound was shallow, the monster let out a roar of pain, and Eren raised his sword high above his head, as if preparing to cut straight down.

"Allen"

Tia's voice seemed to penetrate the eardrum and directly entered Allen's mind, the flames in his eyes gradually faded, and the monster under his feet had already died of blood loss from the previous attack. Alan lowered his hands and glanced indifferently at the group of thieves around him who were retreating out of fear.

"Why are you going to go together?"

Alan swung the long sword in his right hand to the side of his body, and the blood on the sword splattered to the ground, and the crimson light of Misterine wrapped the sword like blood.

"Allen"

"Tia, don't come here, these people, it's enough for me to deal with it alone, don't stain your clothes."

Alan smiled back, and there was something in his eyes that Tia had never seen before—it was still so gentle, but there was something in it

――What is it?

"Tia, you found out too, didn't you?"

Ilt's voice interrupted Tia's thoughts,

"Eren only used his own good sword skills for the first blow, but the second blow and the sword skills used to defeat the first monster before are something I have never seen before"

――What exactly does Ilt want to say?

Tia just looked nervously at Ilte, but her mouth couldn't be opened.

"The power in Alan's body, as you have seen, is the demonic power of self-awareness. That consciousness was different from the 'he' in me. Allen's power, his consciousness belongs to Allen's own. Joy told me everything I had done when I was unconscious, Tia, you said you knew Eren like that, and even if Eren became like that, you still knew him. So don't be too surprised by what I'm going to say next. ”

"What exactly do you want to say, Ilte?"

Tia's heart was in her throat, and her voice was a little hoarse because of its dryness.

"It's fusion, and Alan is merging with that force."

Qile came behind the two of them at some point, looking at Eren in the battle, and his voice was calm and even a little indifferent. (To be continued.) )
