Chapter 14: Fierce Battles and the Tide of Giants
[Thanks to the three of 'An Liuliu', 'The Original Voice' and '13 Masters' for their tips~~]
————————————————————
Suddenly step into the memory kill!!
- Most people will suddenly recall the past in times of crisis, which is commonly known as 'marquee', but what is the specific origin of 'marquee'?
It is actually one of the traditional Chinese toys, a type of lantern, which is commonly found in festivals such as Yuan Xi, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. A candle is lit inside the lamp, and the heat generated by the candle causes air currents that spin the axle. There are paper-cuts on the axles, and the candlelight casts the shadows of the paper-cuts on the screen, and the images keep moving. Because many pictures of ancient military generals riding horses are drawn on each side of the lamp, and when the lamp turns, it looks like a few people are chasing me, so it is called the marquee lamp.
In other words, in the moment before death, the memories of the past are replayed over and over again in the mind......
Although it doesn't matter, but now Hiiragi somehow comes to mind the things he has experienced, those memories that are not happy, but are also full of fun.
The friends you meet at the Comic Con, the friends who stay up late in line, the young people who often appear in the game hall, and the Africans who always have a sad face in front of the capsule toy machine are all part of Hiiragi's life.
Even though I often suffer all kinds of misfortunes and accidents, I don't feel annoyed -
Because I can never, because I can change everything I face.
But—
The current situation is not optimistic, after all, his save ability can only be used five times, and once it is used up after five times, it is equivalent to the end of everything.
Facing the female giant who took a few steps back, Hiiragi also calmed herself down by biting her lip, putting aside those memories that were not important to the present, and the wound she had just caused was restored.
What to do? Even if the giantess does not act now, it does not mean that they will be able to get along in the future.
When he attacked the giantess from a dead end and called her name casually, he decided the position of the two people.
As the steam slowly faded and each was able to confirm each other's movements, the giantess turned her head to look in Allen's direction, and then at Hiiragi's side.
What do you think? Is it because you want to shift your goal and take yourself back to your 'hometown' as a 'coordinate'?
Not knowing how to act, Hiiragi also fell into a brief period of confusion and thinking.
This is a big crisis......
The reason must be understood by anyone, that is, Hiiragi's ability to become a giant, and even 20% of it has not been used until now.
It is impossible to defeat and capture a female giant just by operating a giant's arm, not to mention that the female giant can use fighting techniques, which makes it even more difficult......
What to do? There should be soldiers from the Survey Corps passing by, and if two people are found in this situation, they will only be killed.
Until then, Hiiragi also thinks that the thing he should think about is how to save his life.
After all, if you can't use your save at will, you lose your only advantage - relying on unlimited save to predict the future.
So in order not to waste the few saves he had, Hiiragi also felt that it was necessary to find a way to solve the problem at the moment.
Both sides are now in a state of immobility, maybe the female giant on the other side thinks that she deliberately conjured half of her body and half an arm, right?
To put it simply, the giantess will not act rashly until Hiiragi's situation is confirmed.
She is a person with a plan and a smart person, and she will definitely not mess around in order to change the balance between the two now.
It's not just the Giants Girl who is worried about Hiiragi, but the current Giants Girls themselves have suffered some trauma.
Just now, she stepped on Hiiragi and was blocked by Hiiragi's armed giant's right arm, and her right foot was shattered, and the front half became bloody, fleshy, and mushy, and it was being repaired at the moment.
Don't look at Hiiragi also thought about so many things, in fact, it was only about ten seconds.
Once the two of them get into a firefight, it will definitely attract the attention of the people around them, and at that time, it was not a good situation for Hiiragi and the giantess.
Hiiragi also targets the Giants, and the Giants targets Allen, and Hiiragi suddenly discovers the relationship.
If you can gain Allen's trust and take him to a place where no one is around, you will definitely attract the giantess indirectly, right?
No, no, no, that assumption would not be valid at all, on the grounds that Hiiragi would not have been able to leave with Alan alone.
Such a false peace was destroyed in the next moment, and the female giant rushed towards Hiiragi as well.
"This is not according to the script at all!"
Hiiragi also felt the ground tremble, and the recovered female giant smashed down on Hiiragi with a punch.
Raising his right arm as a shield, he had cooled down after the rest just now, and his armed right arm was hit by the giantess's right fist.
Boom! Boom!
Not just one attack, but two combos.
When he hit Hiiragi, he kicked Hiiragi with his left foot into the giant body that Hiiragi had created, and kicked Hiiragi flying out with him.
In the air, I felt that my five senses became disordered, and in the next moment, Hiiragi's back was the first to hit the wooden wall, and after it was broken, it fell on the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and the shoe cabinet that had long been rotten was shattered in an instant.
Breathing became difficult, my head was a little dizzy, and pain was felt all over my body.
Even if the injured part is recovering, Hiiragi, who is not very suitable for such a body and ability, is not able to play at all.
This time the attack was successful, and the female giant did not hesitate at all, but began to chase after the victory.
After crashing into the fence and shaking the dirt into the air, the giantess smashed Hiiragi down with both hands in her hands.
"Bastard!"
Moving his body, half of his body responded to Hiiragi's command, and his right arm, which had maintained an armed color for the time being, waved it again.
Bang!
The giantess's fists slammed into Hiiragi's right arm, and the intersection of contact emitted sunlight reflected from the shattered crystal.
Is it hardening?!
Obviously, the color of the armament given by the Lord God was even stiffer, and it was a hardness that Hiiragi could not have imagined.
The ground caved down dramatically, causing half of the giant's body to sink into the ground and partially flatten due to the pressure.
The abdomen was pressed, breathing became difficult, and the head was hit hard.
Going to die, going to die, going to die.
So far, Hiiragi is the least afraid of death, as long as he has the ability to read files, he can change everything.
But now Hiiragi only has five chances, only five chances to save, and once it's used up, there's no chance to start again.
"Bastard!!"
You can't die like this, Hiiragi hasn't changed her mind.
So—
A voice rang out in my heart, exploding, and destroying the reality in front of me - even if it didn't need to be archived, it could change the future.
Smack......
The sound of something breaking, then erupted.
Bang!
The abundance of steam has certainly attracted the attention of countless people.
Again, Arnie was bounced away, and the whole person stepped back vigilantly.
Immediately after, a pure black figure burst out of the steam.
Perfect giantization and an armed color that wraps around the right half of the body.
Sprinting past as fast as he could, Hiiragi also felt his five senses being replaced, and he was able to see farther away.
His left hand grabbed Ani's shoulder, which he snapped from the bottom up.
Seizing this opportunity, Hiiragi also opened his mouth and bit down.
Biting his shoulder, he already had hardened crystal skin on it.
In the next moment, the left hook that almost cut off half of his head caused Hiiragi to be hit hard.
"Roaring !!!!!"
With that, Hiiragi's right fist was also swung out, with explosive power.
The entire left half of the giant's body was completely shattered, and a large amount of steam and flesh were scattered in the air.
With just one punch, the giantess was almost incapacitated.
I felt the muscles of my whole body tense up, my limbs were hot, and I was completely lost my vision due to the attack on the head by the female giant.
However, Hiiragi still bit the female giant's shoulder and raised her right fist again.
The black fist slammed down, and the female giant turned her head away to dodge, and Hiiragi, who couldn't see the actual situation, could only swing her fist indiscriminately.
No, you can't!
If you kill the Giantess here and be discovered by the Survey Corps, you may be considered a failure.
Hiiragi, who was thinking like this, also stopped, but was kicked away by the female giant.
Hiiragiya - Canceled the ability to become a giant in the air.
Fell on the roof and rolled down to the edge of the eaves, grabbing the protrusion with his hands.
Standing up from the ground at a very slow pace, the giantess looked at Hiiragi, who had canceled her giantization.
The left half of the giantess's body was enveloped in a large amount of steam, and she slowed down slightly and changed direction.
Ignoring Hiiragi no further, he slowly ran towards Allen's side.
The reason why it will have an advantage, I'm afraid it's Hiiragi who was also surprised, and the next time you fight, it is estimated that it will not be so simple.
In less than two minutes, Amin and the others passed by and gave Hiiragi the horses they had seen on the way.
If we had continued to fight, we might have been discovered, and we would have been besieged by the Survey Corps......
In Hiiragi's view, the condition for the success of the mission is [Nangong Hiiragi also catches the female giant and takes it away smoothly], which is the step and result of catching people.
Hiiragi also doesn't think that the main god will give himself an easy task, and the main god will definitely pit himself, just like this time.
After following Amin, Jean, Reiner, and Helista to join the others, the instructor ordered the group to guard the entrance to the Forest of Giant Trees to prevent other giants from entering.
"If you want us to draw our swords and dismount and guard here, tell us to stop the giant from entering the forest, and give me this kind of order, but there is no explanation, if that guy is not an instructor, no one will pay attention."
"Don't say it, then what are your plans?"
"My plan? I'm just complaining now, all I have to do is obey the order and stop the giant from entering the forest. ”
merely
"There's no need to go to war with them, ......"
A five-meter-level strange species ran towards this direction, and everyone just watched it stop under the tree and raise its head to look up at everyone.
The conversation between the two ended, and Jean ran to Hiiragi's side through a three-dimensional maneuver.
"Why are you only wearing tattered clothes, but not serious wounds?"
"My horse got sick on the way and threw me off it."
"Is it so serious? It's one of the routes the giants take to cross it, right? ”
"No, when I arrived, everyone there had already sacrificed......"
"That's ......"
However, Jean held the blade and looked at the giant on the ground.
"You're in luck."
"I also think I'm lucky if I can continue to live."
In fact, it's not luck, but a little bit of memorization......
Compared to this, Hiiragi doesn't want to continue talking about this topic.
Looking around, he saw that Reiner, Mikasa, Berthold, and Hellista were all there.
It may be because Hiiragi also survived the attack of the female giant just now, which makes some people a little concerned.
"Hiiragiya, you said you found the giantess running away when you arrived, what did you do before that?"
"This ......"
Faced with Amin's question on the other tree, Hiiragi also thought about it and told the lie that had been prepared for a long time.
"Because I lost my horse, I hid in some abandoned buildings in order not to be directly discovered by the giants on the road, and only after confirming that it was safe did I arrive at the town just now, but I found ......"
"I see, you're working hard, too."
"It's not hard, at least it's not really in trouble."
At this time, the giants below began to climb the trees, and some of the more skilled strange species had already climbed in front of Amin with the help of two adjacent trees.
Amin moved onto the other one, and the Strange Species slid down, ready to climb up again.
Hiiragi also leaned against the trunk of the tree and waited for an opportunity, when the sound of a sonic boom suddenly sounded in the Forest of Giant Trees behind him.
It is estimated that it was sent by the commander.
Since it's a sonic boom, it proves that the giantess is about to be caught.
Hiiragi, who wants to confirm whether the giantess will escape, also decides to leave the scene, but arousing suspicion is also a troublesome place.
The progress of the main plot, Hiiragi also wants to experience it as much as possible, so that he can understand what is going to happen next.
The plot of this world may or may not change, no matter which one it is, it must be understood.
Then, explosions rang out incessantly, and none of the recruits who stayed here could understand what was happening.
"Did they get the cannon into the woods?"
Reiner thought so.
"I don't know what I'm doing."
Connie said.
It didn't take long for Hiiragi to hear a loud roar.
It's a female giant, that is, the roar of Ani after becoming a giant.
was caught, so this means must be used.
The giants around them were all heading towards the depths of the Giant Tree Forest, and the Strange Species ignored everyone in the trees, and the number of giants continued to increase.
A large number of giants, like a tide......
"What's going on!"
Jean asked with a pale face.
"It's over!"
Without waiting for the commander to issue an order, Hiiragi also rushed out.
At the same time, Mikasa sped up next to Hiiragi.
