Chapter 12: Explosion, Golden Treasure Chest!

Chapter 12: Explosion, Golden Treasure Chest!

At night, a temporary camp was set up by the stationed troops.

Looking up at the bright night sky, CLAY suddenly felt the urge to smoke, but he wasn't sure if the original owner of his body was a smoker.

Nor did he know if it was due to his transmigration, but after he devoured the original body owner's soul, the memories that appeared in his mind were very fragmented, barely providing any useful information.

"Let it be, let's not worry about these for now."

Commander Pixis agreed to his request but assigned him an assistant at the last moment.

Hunting the Titan was of great importance, not allowing for the slightest negligence, so a powerful expert who wouldn't arouse suspicion was arranged.

"It's about time." Mikasa, hidden in the shadows, suddenly came over, looking somewhat listless.

Despite her difficulty in expressing emotions, she was quite good to her peers, and hearing this fact suddenly might inevitably make her sad.

Seeing her fighting spirit waning, CLAY felt it was time to use his eloquence to give this Ackerman warrior some mental encouragement.

"Are you worried about the situation over there?" CLAY revealed a familiar smile, gently pressing his fingertips to his forehead, and whispered devilishly, "I've always felt that Eren might have some special feelings for Annie, really wonder if he could bring himself to do it when the time comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, CLAY saw Mikasa's murderous gaze, her indifferent expression seemed to warn him that one more word and she would immediately kill him.

At that moment, his perception ability was frantically warning him, and CLAY wisely shut his mouth.

Thanks to his comfort, Mikasa could now be described as bursting with fighting spirit, wishing she could immediately go and chop off Annie's head herself.

Seeing this, CLAY smiled satisfactorily, then turned his gaze to the bonfire party in the distance.

Humanity had defeated the Titans for the first time, such a significant victory naturally deserved a proper celebration.

It also allowed the soldiers to leave the camp, so in case of an accident, not everyone would be blown up together.

As for Bertholdt, worried about Reiner and Annie, he wouldn't be in the mood to attend any celebration, especially since the hole in the wall was his doing.

It could be said that CLAY had calculated everything to the extreme, now only the final step of the hunt was left.

"How about a dance with me after the mission is over?"

Mikasa showed no interest in responding and directly walked into the tent.

Hearing the conversation outside, Bertholdt suppressed his worries and looked up at his companion who walked in, "Jason, you're going to be disappointed, Mikasa would only dance with Eren."

Obviously, everyone knew Mikasa's feelings for Eren, she would probably rush to refute it normally, but today she remained unusually silent.

Bertholdt felt a bit strange, but his attention was quickly drawn to something else.

Sitting down opposite the target, CLAY pulled out his long blade and gently wiped it, seemingly casually saying, "What about you, Bertholdt, you really want to invite Annie to dance, right?"

"Ah, I'm not, I didn't"

The young man, whose little secret was poked, immediately started to explain in a fluster, saying things like we're just fellow countrymen, our relationship is purely platonic.

But CLAY's next sentence completely stirred up his emotions.

"That's too bad, Annie wanted to take the initiative to invite you, Mikasa heard it too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bertholdt hurriedly turned around, his eyes seemingly ablaze, "Really, Mikasa, did Annie really"

Suddenly, the young man's words halted, as he clearly saw his companion's bone-chilling gaze.

And the reflection in his pupils revealed a sudden flash of cold light.

Before he could transform into his titan form, the so-called Marleyan warriors were just slightly stronger than ordinary people, a critical hit to a vital part would basically put them in a dying state immediately.

Perhaps they had strong regenerative abilities, but that required the neural center to transmit the "command" throughout the body.

CLAY's knife was both fierce and precise, directly severing the spinal nerves between the vertebrae, Bertholdt instantly lost control of his body.

Looking at the young man sprawled on the ground, CLAY did not hesitate to raise his long knife, not giving the opponent a chance to beg for mercy.

A single strike critically wounded him, a second strike killed him, the Colossal Titan with nuclear explosion-like destructive power died by his hand.

[Killing an important plot character, world line distortion increased!]

[You've obtained a plot treasure chest (gold)]

[Notice: Plot character Reiner's attitude towards you has turned to hostility.]

[Notice: Plot character Annie's attitude towards you has turned to hostility.]

[Notice: Plot character Zeke's attitude towards you has turned to hostility.]

[Faction reputation system activated!]

[Marley faction's attitude towards you has turned to hostility.]

[Legendary trait (Heart of Steel) activated, life value +5]

A series of notifications bombarded his vision, but they couldn't cover up CLAY's fiery gaze.

The golden plot treasure chest, although he didn't know the specific criteria, it must be much better than the white chests.

As for the hostility of those Marleyan warriors, he had already taken action to kill them, so why would he care whether they liked him or not?

Of course, CLAY wasn't the kind of person who was overly self-centered, if possible, he still didn't like being disliked by others, if it couldn't be changed, killing those few people on the list, he would still be the popular Jason.

Rubbing his hands, CLAY was completely unaware of the weight of the golden treasure chest, even more so, throughout the long history of the reincarnation space, there were only a few people who managed to obtain a golden chest in trial missions.

The advantage of foresight might be even more astonishing than he imagined.

Taking advantage of Mikasa's solitude, CLAY immediately chose to open the chest.

With a big battle imminent, if he could open one or two suitable pieces of equipment or skills, it would definitely help with the upcoming actions.

[You are opening the plot treasure chest (gold)]

[You've obtained 500 plot points]

[You've obtained the Colossal Titan's bloodline potion]

[You've obtained the Maneuver Gear Modified Type IV]

[You've obtained Sauce Steak ×3]

Each item,in the treasure chest would make one's breath quicken.

A total of five hundred plot points, a very generous reward.

In A single plot world,even if you worked hard to death, not counting hidden tasks, the overall gain would be less than four hundred.

A golden treasure chest directly doubled the reward.

But compared to the following few items, the gain of plot points seemed just average.

Colossal Titan's bloodline potion: Grade B, after use, gains the trait "Titan Transformation".

Without a doubt, after injecting the potion in front of him, the reincarnator could use the Colossal Titan transformation within the space.

Just thinking about that scene made one's scalp tingle.
