Chapter 32: Salvation (Happy National Day, everyone)
No matter how strong a warrior is, if the world unfolded in front of him has been turned upside down in the true sense of the word, then this mental shock cannot be avoided in any way.
And in a sense, people who were once determined often collapse more completely after encountering events that fundamentally subvert their three views.
The bones without soft tissue made a creepy clicking sound as they advanced, and the strange black qi attached to the white bones flowed slowly, and the bare upper and lower jaws collided together, making the world that had no biological activity extremely noisy. Whether it was Ymir, who had been away for more than 60 years, or Berthold, who had left the place more than three years ago, they could tell from the tattered clothes that the bones hung on them were the original inhabitants of the cityβsome of them even wore military police uniforms........
"No...... It's all a lie, it's not like this, it's all fake, it's all fake....... I've been on that island for three years just to complete my mission, and my mission is done, it's done......."
Reiner's expression was pale and dragged by Berthold to a big tree, holding his head and muttering to himself - originally his spirit had serious problems in those three years of stable life, because of his stubborn and serious character, coupled with the influence of life training and fighting with friends, Reiner, a soldier who was originally dedicated to the Marais Empire, trembled between the mission of the motherland and the beauty in front of him, and finally the schizophrenia produced two personalities: a soldier of the Marais Empire and another soldier who loyally guarded the wall. And now, when he forcibly suppressed his other soldier personality and returned to the mainland, only to find that his homeland had been destroyed, and all the sacrifices and betrayals he had made before were meaningless, Reiner's psychology collapsed instantly. Even Berthold's somewhat weak personality due to his own lack of assertiveness leads to his flexibility and receptiveness in this area far beyond Reiner's.
"Looks like I'm still lucky......"
Cold sweat wet the clothes behind him, and the black hair of ** was also attached to his face, and the image was quite embarrassed, and Yumir grinned indifferently, but was a little bitter: "You won't even give me a chance to make amends....... But it doesn't matter, hey Berthold, you hurry up and take this litter with Reiner! β
"What, what?"
Although he didn't have a nervous breakdown, Berthold was still in a state of confusion - well, to put it simply, Berthold was very strong and didn't collapse on the spot and lose his mobility, but unfortunately he was not much different from Reiner who had a nervous breakdown, and his mobility was basically zero anyway.
"Stupid! Do you all want to die here?! β
Ymir slapped the stupid big man on the top of the head: "Move me, we have to run away quickly!" β
"To....... Where to run?! Where can we go?! β
The stupid big man's voice was faintly crying.
"Of course it's back to the island! Now this situation is not human, except for the instructor and Captain Levi, there is no one who can stop it at all, right?! I don't think we'll be able to beat these monsters by turning into giants!! β
In many cases, Ymir, who was very knowledgeable about the situation, turned around and prepared to pull Berthold and carry Reiner and jump off the tree and run away - but as soon as she turned and jumped to the ground, she and Belhold froze in place.
"Allah, and the living?"
In front of her stood a beautiful girl with blonde hair and red eyes and a hot figure in a white thread shirt, but all three of them, including Reiner, who had basically lost his response to external stimuli, couldn't help but shiver.
Maybe it was because the emotions contained in the girl's blood-red eyes, which were obviously reminiscent of something as hot as fire, were as cold as icebergs, or perhaps the expression on her face was completely incapable of connecting her with a creature like a human, it was an indifference that was close to inorganic, as if there were only three stones standing in front of her.
Or maybe it's because of the sense of presence she herself standing there, as if she can overwhelm everything, making the three of them, who are obviously giants, feel as if they are being watched by terrifying predators.
The feeling felt a little familiar.
It was similar to the shock he felt when they broke through the wall three years ago, when the man who would later become their instructor felt when he sliced a giant into a puddle of blood with a wave of his sword with a blank face, but he didn't know if the feeling he had been told by his almost complete halt of the five senses was real: the big man who could transform into a super-large giant who could easily ravage huge walls felt that perhaps the woman in front of him was more terrifying than the man he thought would become his eternal nightmare......
"Humans, where did you come from? Obviously, the people on this entire continent are basically dead. β
The girl's voice is crisp and pleasant, and if you exclude the inorganic coldness in it, it will even give people the illusion that this girl is innocent and amiable. But even so, the three of them narrowed their eyes slightly, looking like they were obsessed, and Reiner, who had been holding his head, was quiet in an instant, looking at the girl standing about five meters away from him in a daze.
Princess Shinzu's eyes possess the power to indulge.
Even when the clacks of bones were close at hand, the trio didn't even wake up - until ......
"It has something to do with Xiaomo."
The girl suddenly stood beside Ymir, turned her head slightly and leaned towards her and sniffed, a word that did not let Ymir hear clearly finally woke her up with a suppressed exclamation, and she wanted to escape but her legs and feet fell to the ground, and Yumir's face was full of horror after realizing what state she was in just now.
It's weird.
However, Elquit had no intention of talking to them again, and frowned as he looked at the skeleton that had already walked in front of her.
"It's just that it infected the entire continent overnight, and this is not the power that the remnants of the so-called second-tier world's will of destruction can have, right?"
Ymir turned her head in horror, as if she felt that the blonde hair of the terrible daughter who didn't seem to kill the three of them seemed to have turned into long straight hair that almost reached the ground like a waterfall. But when she shook her head fiercely, she found that the girl's back was still like that, and it hadn't changed in the slightest.
He just suddenly lifted the straight and slender right leg diagonally.
"Give it all to me, disappear!"
With a sweep of one foot, the originally dead and dreary heaven and earth seemed to suddenly blow a violent wind, and the ground was lifted straight apart in the heavy roar, and the big trees next to it were either uprooted or broken at the waist, and then cut and ravaged into pieces in the howling hurricane.
It's like the skeletal swarm in front of the princess.
