**Chapter 13: Fight!**

The items were excellent, but Kiba had no intention of using them right away.

The explosion's power was indeed terrifying, but after that, the Colossal Titan was nothing more than a moving target.

In a world full of powerful beings, being too conspicuous would only result in concentrated attacks.

Using it as part of a team might work, where someone could provide healing and protection if he got injured. But for a lone wolf like him, transforming into a Titan was almost a suicidal move.

"I'll wait until I return to the Reincarnation Space and see if I can trade with others."

Kiba was now filled with anticipation for that mysterious place, a far cry from the anxiety he felt when he first arrived in the Titan world.

He stored the items in the tattoo on his wrist and then examined the three delicious-looking steaks.

**Gravy Steak:** Restores 50 Health Points.

A great item for restoring health—perfect for recovering quickly after a fierce battle. It would be a valuable asset for sustaining himself in prolonged fights.

Both items were impressive, but what pleased him most was the 3D Maneuver Gear.

**Name:** 3D Maneuver Gear, Improved Version IV 

**Grade:** Excellent 

**Category:** Off-hand Accessory 

**Attack Power:** 2-5 

**Maximum Operating Time:** 30 minutes 

**Maximum Thrust Speed:** 58m/s 

**Durability:** 45/45 

**Attribute Boosts:** Strength +1, Agility +1 

**Usage Requirements:** Constitution 7, 3D Maneuver Gear Control Lv3 

**Equipment Effects:** Rapid Speed, Blade Replacement 

**Origin:** Attack on Titan 

**Equipment Evaluation:** A newly improved model. Don't challenge the maximum speed unless you have the necessary physical fitness.

**Rapid Speed (Active Skill):** Increases the sliding speed of the 3D Maneuver Gear by 10% for 10 seconds.

**Blade Replacement:** Provides six blade sheaths, allowing for quick weapon swaps.

"Maximum thrust speed of 58 meters per second?"

Thinking back to his own experiences using it, Kiba knew this was just theoretical data.

The 3D Maneuver Gear couldn't achieve direct flight; it had to rely on cables to maneuver. This meant every move wasn't in a straight line.

Considering the launch and retrieval of the grappling hooks, achieving an average speed of 7-8 meters per second would already be impressive.

Of course, it could be used for bursts of speed, getting close to enemies, or dodging attacks. Combined with Kiba's high perception, it would definitely create a powerful synergy.

The biggest problem now was that he didn't yet meet the equipment requirements, falling two points short in his Constitution stat.

"That makes sense. Only well-trained soldiers can use the 3D Maneuver Gear, especially an improved, enhanced version."

After storing everything in his imprint, Kiba slowly stood up. Mikasa, who had been crouching nearby moments ago, was already rushing toward another battlefield.

Just seconds earlier, two golden lightning bolts had suddenly streaked across the night sky, signaling that the ambush had begun.

There should have been three lightning bolts, but one hadn't appeared yet. This could mean either the soldiers had successfully launched a surprise attack, or Mikasa's worst fears had come true.

Whatever the reason, Mikasa needed to get there as quickly as possible to help.

As for Kiba, his piloting skills were still far from adequate. By the time they reached the battlefield, the two Titans had already gotten close to Wall Rose.

For most people, Captain Levi was like the Grim Reaper; those who caught his attention were destined to be chopped into pieces.

But to be honest, the two Titans in front of them were among the more difficult types to deal with.

The Armored Titan was particularly tough; except for some special joints, its entire body could perfectly defend against blades.

Reiner was well aware of this and never gave Levi a chance to get behind him. Even if it meant taking three or four hits from others, he wouldn't let Levi get close.

As for Annie's Female Titan, her approach was even more straightforward. She hardened the back of her neck and charged straight towards the wall.

She didn't understand why she had been exposed, but now she just wanted to go home and find her father.

"Damn it," Levi's eyes darkened, and his attacks became even fiercer because he noticed that the Armored Titan was charging toward the city gate.

If it were to ram into it with full force, the gate of Wall Rose would be completely shattered, and all their previous efforts would be for nothing, not to mention capturing the two Titans.

In an extreme move, Levi flashed and cut off the Armored Titan's left arm. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to deal with the Female Titan, he suddenly saw the two Titans holding hands and spinning on the spot.

The powerful wind stirred up by their massive bodies forced all the soldiers to temporarily retreat. If anyone got caught in it, the best outcome would be lifelong disability.

Using Reiner's strength, the Female Titan was flung far away, now just a step away from Wall Rose.

"Is it still not enough?" Kiba turned his head and saw Reiner madly charging toward the gate.

It was clear that the enemy had chosen to split up. No matter how strong Levi was, he could only chase one of them.

Though it was unclear what had happened with Bertholdt, the current situation was that they could only escape if they split up. If escape was impossible, they would try to destroy the gate as much as possible.

"These devils must be punished," Reiner seethed with anger, already foreseeing his friend's fate.

Now, he would continue to fulfill his duty as a warrior.

"Damn it, damn it!" Eren was drenched in blood, gnawing on his hand with a twisted expression.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't transform into a Titan because he was still hesitating deep down.

Even after seeing the truth with his own eyes, he still didn't want to believe that those three were the ones responsible for so many deaths.

Yet this mission couldn't succeed without him; without him, there was no way they could capture both Titans.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Kiba reached his side, ready to give him some encouragement.

"Hey, Eren, I remember you telling us about your hometown." Seeing the stunned protagonist, Kiba's malicious gaze sent shivers down the spines of those around him. "Tell me, when those three killers heard about your mother being eaten by a Titan, what do you think they felt?"

"Maybe they thought, 'What an idiot, he doesn't even know it was us who...'"

"Shut up!!!"

Eren's veins bulged, and golden lightning began to surge from his body.

As expected, this brat needed a good jolt.

Satisfied, Kiba jumped aside, watching as Eren Yeager completed his transformation.

"Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie..."

"I'm going to kill you traitors!!!"

Roar!!!

The Attack Titan roared to the sky like a demon from the abyss and charged madly towards Annie.

With Mikasa's assistance, the Female Titan was quickly pulled off the wall, and her right leg was torn off in the process.

Seeing this, Kiba's eyes lit up. He saw an opportunity to steal the kill.

Just as Annie slapped the Titan away, Kiba swung into the air, his grappling hook piercing through the Female Titan's shoulder.

"Die!"
