Tooth and Nail

'Why… is this happening to me… twice in a row? W—what is this crap?!'

Sunny was being strangled and drowned, with his mutilated side on fire because of seawater getting into the ugly wound. The hateful Scavenger had turned out to be astonishingly strong for his demure size… or maybe it was Sunny who was too weak. He was utterly drained of essence, still recovering from being stomped on by a titan, and had a powerful toxin coursing through his veins on top of everything, after all.

In any case, no matter how desperately he tried to shake the little bastard off his body, it was all in vain.

'Argh!'

The thought of surviving an encounter with a Fallen Titan, only to be killed by this pathetic waste of an abomination, made him feel bitter and slighted. Especially because the damned gremlin was barely half his size…

"Just give up. Your life is meaningless, anyway."

Feeling his consciousness starting to slip, Sunny tried to snarl.

'Shut… the hell… up!'
