"Mom, mom!"

"Someone save me, I don't want to die yet!"

"My leg, my leg!"

"Die, you giants... go... Thud!"

"Ahh! No! Don't swallow me!"

...

In a scene reminiscent of hell, several agile figures were swimming against the current, bravely pushing forward, beginning to hunt these terrifying giants!

These people wore uniforms, were well-trained, and were equipped with weapons and three-dimensional maneuver gear capable of battling against the giants.

A badge was worn on the left side of their shirts, featuring the image of two wings mirrored against each other, superimposed on a shield. Its name was the Wings of Freedom!

"It's the Survey Corps!"

"Thank God, we're finally saved."

"Please, you have to kill all these giants!"

Every rescued person expressed gratitude and an indelible hatred.

Of course, this hatred was not directed at their rescuers, but stemmed from these monstrous giants who had destroyed their homes and devoured their family and friends!

Perhaps they could never take revenge for their deceased loved ones in their lifetime, so they could only pin these feelings onto the members of the Survey Corps, hoping they could exterminate all these giants.

In response, the members of the Survey Corps simply nodded before quickly leaving to rejoin the deadly battle.

After all, they couldn't make such a promise either.

Every giant killed was a risk to everyone's lives!

Even the smallest mistake could lead to them being swallowed by a giant, just like any other ordinary person.

In fact, several had already fallen in the brief skirmish just now.

"Eren, watch out!"

"Mikasa, don't come here!"

The woman who had 'saved' Abel before, seeing her comrade in danger, immediately disregarded her own safety, abandoned the giant behind her, and rushed to help.

Though she managed to save the comrade named Eren in the nick of time, she was nearly bitten by the giant herself.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived. A short-statured individual used his highly proficient sword skills to easily slay several giants around him, including the one threatening Mikasa.

"If you don't have the capability, don't recklessly try to save others. You'll only endanger others and yourself. Rookies, you may retreat now. We'll take over from here."

The one who made this statement was none other than Levi Ackerman, a corporal in the Survey Corps.

Mikasa, the target of his harsh criticism, remained silent. She knew she had made a mistake, but when it came to Eren, she often lost her cool.

"Mikasa was just trying to save—"

"Enough, Eren. Let's go."

Mikasa interrupted Eren's defense and the pair left, supporting each other.

"Why didn't you let me explain back there?"

"What good would it have done? After all, I was the one who broke discipline first. It's just that this time no one got killed because of my impulsive actions, otherwise..."

Mikasa trailed off, sighing and shaking her head as she spoke.

Suddenly, Eren exclaimed, "Look over there!"

Following the direction Eren pointed, Mikasa looked and her face immediately displayed an expression of utter shock!

Such a reaction from her...

Such an expression was extremely rare on her face.

But compared to the scene she had just witnessed, it was the spectacle itself that was even more astonishing!

A titan, over ten meters tall, stood next to an ordinarily dressed person.

At first glance, it seemed like the ordinary person was about to be devoured by the titan.

Yet, in the next moment, a flash of a blade, and the titan's outstretched arm thumped onto the ground.

Two more slashes, and the titan's legs were severed too!

However, the person then stopped, not delivering a fatal blow.

"Be careful! It can regenerate!"

Eren instinctively shouted, swiftly using his omnidirectional mobility gear to fly over, intending to finish off the titan before it could regenerate.

Meanwhile, Mikasa recognized that person.

"So, he is that strong?"

Amidst her astonishment, she also let out a wry smile.

Their previous attempt to rescue him now seemed like an unnecessary intervention.

But since Eren had already gone, she had no choice but to follow.

"Why haven't I heard of someone so strong before?" she wondered.

Hearing the shout, Abel glanced towards Eren. In that brief moment, the titan, with its three limbs severed, had already started regenerating, steam billowing from its wounds.

Eren, swiftly closing in, didn't hesitate and aimed his blade directly at the titan's nape.

That was the titan's only weak spot. Only by attacking there could one possibly kill it!

But, clang!

His strike was blocked?!

"What are you doing? You can only kill a titan by attacking its nape! We're running out of time, get out of the way!"

Eren, knocked back by a strange force, immediately rushed back in, shouting at Abel who was blocking his path.

"This is my prey, I believe I have the right to dispose of it."

Abel, with interest, observed the titan's regeneration, casually deflecting Eren again with the flat of his blade.

"Eren!"

Seeing Eren being attacked, Mikasa immediately drew her weapon, her impression of Abel rapidly plummeting.

However, learning from Eren's rashness, she refrained from attacking recklessly.

"Eren, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Cough, cough... I'm okay, just a little chest pain, but I don't think any bones or organs were hit."

Eren limped over to Mikasa, grimacing, and spoke in a somewhat annoyed tone, "What on earth is that guy thinking?"

Despite his complaints, he seemed to have been scared off by the previous encounter and didn't recklessly rush in again.

Even from their initial brief encounter, he could feel a substantial gap in strength between them, akin to a chasm.

If Abel had wanted to kill him, Eren would probably already have died at least ten times over by now!

At that moment, the colossal titan had finally finished regenerating. With both hands supporting its body, it widely opened its mouth, attempting to bite Abel on the ground.

"Regeneration took over a minute. And after the arm regenerated first, the regeneration speed of the legs noticeably slowed down."

Abel stood in place, holding a long knife he had picked up from a corpse, casually swinging it upwards.

Splat!

The wide-open mouthed titan was instantly decapitated, its head rolling to the side with a thud.

Following this, Abel jumped onto the titan's back, using his weapon to open up the headless titan's nape, searching for something.

At this point, both Eren and Mikasa were dumbfounded!

Hey, hey, hey! Is this really a level of strength and burst power a human could possess?

He managed to cut off a titan's head with a single strike?!

Were they really using the same type of weapon?

After all, these titan bodies were incredibly tough.

Eren and Mikasa started to question their reality.
