Aldia's Demon

and Mikasa's expression was unprecedentedly terrifying...

"Listen. I've already used an injection containing spinal fluid to turn into an unscaled giant and eat Bertolt. As you can see, this basement is the basement of Allen's house, and we have seen the world here the truth……"

"!?..." Irwin's series of words shocked Reiner every sentence. He never thought that so many drastic changes would happen in such a short period of time...

[The leader ate Bertolt! ?Why did the Survey Corps have injections containing spinal fluid! ?Bertolt...does he mean that the leader can become a super giant now! ? ...Could it be that the reason why Mikasa and Allen are like this is because the leader wants to become a giant here! ? ? 】

[But wait a minute... Regardless of the fact that it is impossible for the captain to master the power of the giant in such a short period of time, even if he mastered it, why would he want to kill Alan and Mikasa! ? ? 】

[And he actually said that he has seen the truth! ?Is it that Alan's father left here about the time before he entered the wall? ...how much did they know! ? 】

"I know that the Eldians outside your walls were used by your country, Marais. You are victims and forced."

"!?..." Erwin continued, and Reiner was shocked again. He actually knew this. It seems that Grisha has explained the ins and outs in detail!He was a little hesitant, he couldn't let these demons inside the wall know so much.Knowing so much, they will not die in peace!All these despicable people inside the wall must be wiped out!

But he didn't know why he hesitated at this time. Could it be because the leader said that they were also "victims" and "forced"? ...the people inside the walls and those outside the walls understand each other! ?How can it be! ... That's right, he just needs to continue his mission, take back the "coordinate" Allen, and kill other people inside the wall! !

As soon as he thought about it, Reiner was about to draw the blade in the three-dimensional mobile device. However, Alvin, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, made a "stop" gesture to him...

"As you can see, I have a wound on my neck." He said, with a cold and fearless threat in his words, "I think you also know that Mikasa and Allen are so guarded against me at this time, because they are afraid that I will Become a super giant."

When Reiner heard this sentence, his hands that were already on the handle of the knife froze.He saw Mikasa and Alan looking at him blankly and terrified, as if saying "We don't know what to do anymore".

[Tch... So now even Alan and Mikasa don't know what the leader wants to do? …Erwin Smith, you’ve played everyone around again…]

"So—let me talk to the Beast Giant. If I'm not mistaken—is he Grisha's other son, Alan's half-brother Zeke?"

"!??..."

As soon as this statement came out, all three people present were shocked.

Jike had been brainwashed by his parents to hold a grudge against the Aldia restoration faction, and even betrayed his biological parents to report the restoration faction—then, he should hate the Ai people inside the wall, and at the same time, he has the ability to let go when he was young. The strategy and courage of parents together.Combined with the fact that the Beast Giant has slaughtered the Ai people in the wall without hesitation since its appearance, and played with human life as a toy to its heart's content, as well as its strategic deployment of commanding operations several times, it can be speculated.

And this sentence also made Reiner feel that the situation was completely out of control.

【Damn...he even knows the identity of the warrior commander——no, did you guess it! ? ...]

He left the handle of the knife with both hands, withdrew from the combat posture, lowered his head and thought about the current situation slightly.

【This person is no longer something I can deal with...Let's let the warrior commander come and talk to him, it's an important negotiation to decide the fate of them inside the wall and us inside the wall...】

"...Then, come with me, and I will take you to find the beast giant."

After all, Reiner compromised and turned around to walk up the stairs.And in the basement behind him, Mikasa turned her head and glanced at Alvin who was kneeling in front of her. His expression was still calm and firm... She retracted the knife on his neck, and the blade had penetrated an inch into the flesh. , blood flowed from the sharp wound after pulling it out...

Mikasa turned and walked towards the door, not knowing what expression she should put on.

She once thought that the enemy she was going to point at with the blade would be a giant, or a human in the old regime, but she never thought that it would be the head of the investigation corps who has been leading the investigation corps for a long time...

She once thought that the biggest threat she faced would be the intelligent giants and strange creatures outside the wall, and the killers inside the wall who used three-dimensional mobile devices against people, but she never thought that it would be the leader who could become a super giant...

But now...the head of the regiment who has betrayed his comrades is about to negotiate with the enemy's leader alone...the battle of the survey corps has never been so confusing.

And Allen also got up right after him. He had entered a "cooling off period" after his rage. He had vented too much anger and was stunned. Now he just misses Almin and the other dead people in his mind. companion……

Alvin stood up and looked silently at the exit of the basement. At this time, the knocked out teeth had grown out of his mouth, and a faint steam came out of the wound on the side of his neck.

Walking up that ladder is a completely different new world...

Outside the basement, Reiner walked in the front, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Alan and Mikasa who followed him:

"Hey, what happened to the leader? What happened to you?"

"Ha...Your enemy is quite concerned about our affairs, do you want to play the game of playing a soldier again?...You are a fateful armored giant!" Allen said to him a little viciously.

After all, Reiner had fought several times with the survey corps, and had also observed Alvin Smith at close range, the commander of the Ai tribe inside the wall who they also regarded as a threat outside the wall.

[Yeah... I'm very lucky, so why not let me, who is so lucky to escape from death again, be curious. 】

"But looking at your previous appearance, I feel that the leader seems to be your enemy at this time. He actually ate Bertolt... To be honest, even I was shocked. I didn't expect that person to threaten me with a super giant. It can be so big, obviously not long ago, it was just an ordinary soldier with a broken hand..."

"That traitor... He used only one precious injection without authorization, and let others die..." When asked, Alan seemed to be immersed in the anger and pain of Almin's death, "That scum... ...I must kill him with my own hands!!"

"..." Reiner was a little taken aback. Did Allen mean that the head of the regiment seized the power of the super giant without the approval of others, and then acted in vain of the investigation corps? ...The purpose is probably for the basement...

So that is the case, that is to say, the current leader is no longer for the sake of all mankind, but for himself?

The demon... finally bared his fangs.It turns out that you are the most threatening person inside the wall...

Alvin Smith.

As the sun sets, the giant wall of Maria is covered with a layer of dim yellow light by the afterglow of the setting sun.Groups of giants outside the wall wander among the lush forests and wilderness, while inside the wall is the Shiganshina area that has been turned into ruins, where birds and beasts fly away, and people are devastated...

The beast sits on the city wall overlooking the exhaustion of the decisive battle of the last days, while the demon is reborn from the dark prison, wading out of the bloody path of corpses...

Reiner reported the current situation to Jike, and Jike was also quite interested in the leader of the survey corps of the Ai tribe inside the wall, and agreed to the negotiation request.He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Erwin's gourd.

Alvin used the three-dimensional mobile device to climb up the city wall and came to the beast giant.Reiner, Allen, and Mikasa each retreated to one side, waiting for this negotiation that will determine the fate of them, both parties, and even all mankind.

Erwin watched the beast giant put his hand on his chin and looked into his eyes with interest, while Jike looked down at the firm gaze projected by the man impartially.Not to mention that Erwin has acquired the power of a super giant at this time, even when he was an ordinary soldier not long ago, he had looked at Reiner who had turned into an armored giant.

"Then..." Knowing that the other party is someone who is easy to get along with, Jike took the lead to invite Jun into the urn, "What do you want to talk about with me, a 'giant'? 'Leader'..."

In the distance, under the Wall of Mary, Allen and Mikasa stood on a ruin looking up at the figures of "humans" and "giants" facing each other on the wall.

Mikasa always held the double blades, maintaining a posture of preparing for battle, as if there were any emergencies under the wall of Maria that she could handle.On the other hand, Allen gritted his teeth, stared at the two heads on the city wall with wide eyes and clenched them tightly, his expression was the same as that day on the refuge ship in Higanshina District...

【What kind of negotiation... that scumbag must be selling our information to the giant!He probably... intends to hand me over to those bastards, and then save his own life!Damn it... Even going to the basement designed to deceive each of us... Even killed Almin! ! ...]

The evening wind swept over the lifeless ruins of the Shiganshina district, caressing the withered dry grass.And at the end of the wind, on the high wall, a negotiation begins...

Seeing that the other party invited you into the urn, Alvin went straight to the point: "You are the other son of Grisha Yeager—Jike, right?"

"Oh? It seems that 'father' really left a lot of 'good things' in this wall..." Hearing that the other party revealed his identity, Jike was not too surprised, but asked instead, "How much do you know? ?”

"Dr. Grisha's experience in the country called Marais, and the reason for coming to the wall." Alvin told the whole story, with a calm expression on his face.

"It seems that he really came here to write 'memoirs'..." Jike touched the back of his ear, and he showed a posture of watching from the sidelines about the "legendary life" of his father who had always been resentful , "I heard that he didn't stop after entering the wall, attacked the royal family's children, and took the power of'coordinates' onto Allen."

"Then..." Speaking of this, Erwin's voice sank, his eyes flickered, and there seemed to be a flash of sword light in his eyes, and he looked at Jike fiercely, "Why did Dr. Grisha join the restoration faction in Marais? Why did he inherit the will of the leader of the restoration faction, Xiao Xiao, to come to the wall after being exiled, and why he liberated people from the brainwashing of the ancestor giant inside the wall—as his son, you should understand a little bit about it ?”

"Understood? Hehe..." Looking at Erwin's stern words and anger, Jike didn't care, and Shen Ke's indifference couldn't be erased from the mocking words, "I want you to understand that man who is full of 'responsibility' The ridiculous 'father' of 'rejuvenation' and 'revenge'?... Has he ever looked back to understand his own son!?"

"..." Alvin was speechless for a moment.Although Ji Ke is the most intelligent person, he has always acted subjectively based on his own cognition and ideas, and was unable to form a sound personality due to the shadow of his childhood.

"Heh, the leader of the survey corps who thought he would dare to take the risk of taking away Bertolt's giant power, and came to me to negotiate with me after knowing the truth..." Ji Ke leaned on his head, looking down at Erwin with a three-pointed cynical expression , Three points of disdain and contempt, "It will be different from 'Father', Allen, and the leader of the restoration faction, Xiao. But I can't imagine that he is also so full of 'freedom and liberation', a naive and ridiculous passionate lunatic!"

"..." Alvin frowned slightly, with a solemn expression, staring straight at the contemptuous and indifferent eyes of the beast giant, but felt a flame rising in his chest.It's not anger, but a force that almost breaks through the shackles, "Then, do you have any way to change the status quo? To change the fate of Aldia..."

"..."

Jake stopped smiling.No more cynical sneers.He didn't want to talk about these so-called "fate", "dreams", and "hope"... For the Eldians, who were born as a mistake, what fate should they talk about?Yes, he just wanted to put an end to it all.If there is a fate for the Eldians, it is...

"sterilization."

"!?..." The beast giant silently read this term, and Alvin was shocked.

"Sterilization." He repeated again, only his eyes showed indifference on the face without a smile, just like the expression when he slaughtered his compatriots inside the wall. This is the portrayal of Jike's mood at this time and his whole life. The power of giants and royal blood, euthanasia for all Eldians - don't you think this is the best destination for us?"

"..." Alvin stared at Jake's eyes, which were eyes that truly regarded life as if it were a fly, and would not be moved even if he committed genocide...

He thought that Jike was probably a scum with darker and more depraved thoughts than himself.If he is a demon who "would rather teach me to bear the people of the world" to achieve his goals by any means; then Jike is an evil monk who sees through the world and wants to use death to save all living beings.

But... since he and the other party have always been human beings, he still has to fight for it:

"Are you willing? Don't you want to resist? Who is the culprit!? You? Us? Giants? ... Or Marley?? ... Yes, we should be free!"

The fire in Erwin's eyes collided with Jake's deep anger at this hopeless world, like sparks colliding with the earth.The two glared at each other in different ways, and the confrontation between different worldviews and methodologies caused a moment of tension...

Standing on the Wall of Maria and watching them from a distance, Leiner stood with folded arms at this moment, and shed a drop of cold sweat because of the chilling atmosphere emanating from the negotiation field.

[Such an angry regiment leader and warrior leader, this is the first time I have seen both sides...]

[What exactly did the regiment leader talk to the warrior commander?It won't be 'shake hands and make peace' or something like that! ? ...That kind of thing is a big taboo for the fighters outside our walls!Head...]

He gritted his teeth with some resentment, and complained in his heart that the regiment commander of the Ai tribe inside the wall was still so "bold".

"Then killing the culprit—killing all the Marais who enslaved us can solve everything!?" Jike was also furious under the pressure of the other party. The beast giant had scarlet eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Roaring, "You can't be so naive, right?... Alvin Smith. — If the power of the giant is not removed, we Eldia will not be treated as human beings for a day!!"

"...Of course I know that." The unavoidable fact lay in front of him, but Alvin still didn't back down, "But isn't the method just for finding?"

"Looking for?..." Looking at the extremely persistent opponent in front of him, Jike couldn't calm down for a while.But he also knows in his heart that the "method" that Erwin refers to is probably the way to prevent the Ai people from being sterilized, and to coexist with other humans in the world without giving up the power of giants...

"Give me four years..." Erwin closed his eyes, adjusted his mind, and let the firm rock in his heart settle, "I will let you see a different Eldia!"

"!?..." It was hard to tell whether the unexpected answer was an excuse to delay the attack, or whether he had already drawn up a blueprint in his mind, and Jike angrily scolded, "Don't be kidding!... I can win here. Let Alan go, there is no need to negotiate any conditions with you people inside the wall!"

"It's a pity that this is the case..." On the surface, he said a word that could not be done, but it was a real deterrent, "But can you guarantee that you can take Alan away under this situation? I will be here directly Become a super giant to eliminate you and the surrounding giants, and even if Reiner becomes an armored giant, he can't do anything to the remaining Alan and Mikasa on our side..."

"...Heh," seeing that the other party was still imposing and unmoved, Jake smiled angrily, "You want to threaten me?... You don't think I can believe that you have mastered super powers in such a short period of time. The power of giants, right? Our honorable Marley warriors have been trained like devils since childhood...I advise you not to underestimate giants!!"

The beast giant roared threateningly at the people in front of him, but Erwin still did not retreat, but slowly raised his right hand:

"Want to try?"

On the city wall in the distance, Leiner, who heard the roar of the beast giant, also became nervous, thinking:

[Warrior Captain is going to clash with the opponent! ? ...It is impossible for the leader to become a giant here! ?If it really succeeds... the Warrior Commander will be in trouble! ! 】

The air under the glow of the setting sun was tainted with a bit of chill, but after a period of unbearable silence, Jike stood still, and the beast's eyes were fixed on Erwin's right hand raised in mid-air, as if unable to express his anger.

Jike knew that the other party was betting, and he was betting on the possibility of breaking the game.But he really didn't dare to take the bet.

Although Alvin has only acquired the power of the giant not long ago, but after all, he is the leader of the survey corps who has experienced many battles inside the wall.

If Alvin loses the bet, then he who cannot become a super giant becomes a joke and can be easily crushed by himself; but if he wins the bet, he will instantly be buried in the shock wave of an atomic bomb explosion , and the whole plan will lose everything...

But the other party is obviously a lunatic who dares to gamble more than himself and is less afraid of death.

No matter how you calculate it, it is a bad deal...

Jike gritted his teeth resentfully, hesitated again and again, and finally reluctantly compromised.

"Okay..." The beast giant sat down slowly, looking down at the desperado in front of him, "I will withdraw my troops this time, and let the giants behind me make way for you... and you must fight for it from now on." I will provide information on your walls."

"Well. You still have to provide us with technological support." Alvin put down his hand and added while looking at the other party.

"Let us temporarily truce... I want to see if four years is just an excuse for you to survive. Don't be eaten by giants on the way back to the wall? Captain Smith..." The mocking in the mouth Tried and tested repeatedly, the beast giant scratched its ears, as if it had returned to that cynical expression.

And Erwin turned around, gave Jike a last look, and didn't say anything more.Then, he flew down the city wall with a three-dimensional mobile device.Reiner immediately came to Jake, and Allen and Mikasa under the city wall also saw Alvin flying towards where they were.

"He's here! He must have come to catch me!" Allen excitedly raised his guard.

"Wait, Alan, don't get excited!" Mikasa stopped his possible actions from the side, "Marley's people didn't follow..."

In a few words, Alvin had already landed in front of the two of them, and after a customary pause, he reported the "results of the battle":

"The negotiation was successful. The two sides have temporarily ceased fighting. Let's return to the Wall of Rose."

"The negotiation was successful!? Aren't you going to hand me over!?"

"How are we going to get back?... It's just the three of us, all the horses are gone, and there's not much gas left."

The questions of the two were different, and Alvin answered them one by one:

"We will fight against Marais together with our compatriots in Eldia outside the wall. The next four years will be our last time. ——As for going back, we will first go to a giant forest under the cover of the coming night, Then wait for the next dark night before proceeding..."

"!?..."

"..."

The reactions of the two were also different, but they had no choice but to follow Alvin on the road back home...

"If you saw the truth in the basement, what would you do next?"

Someone once asked this question.

"I don't know. I won't know until I read the truth."

At that time, he replied that he didn't know.It's "don't know", but it's not "don't do it".

He never thought that knowing the truth was the end of his ideal.Knowing the truth is important, but how to change the world after knowing the truth is even more important.

Winners should focus on the way the world is, not what it is.

After seeing the truth in the basement, he realized his first ideal, and immediately sprouted a second ideal in his heart:

Revive the Eldia family and cut off the cursed and enslaved fate!

Another belief gradually rose in his heart, and the forward flame drove the blazing.When a new and unknown world is presented before the eyes, when an insurmountable peak stands before the eyes, when this time...

He will feel that he is still alive.

But... he was going to embark on a more difficult and dangerous road under his own will.Maybe I have long been used to this way of Asura, but it's a pity...the innocent people who were involved in this hell by me.

This is the idea that Erwin had when he was resting in the giant forest.

At dawn, the three of them had arrived in this forest, and then they stopped here to rest, waiting for the next night to come.However, even if they wait until after dark to march, there is no guarantee that they will return to the Rose Wall before the next dawn.At the same time, after passing through this giant forest, there is no such thing as an umbrella for giants...

This is what Erwin did not fully explain to Allen and Mikasa when they left the Shiganshina area...

At this time they were splitting into two sides to rest in the forest.Erwin was lying on one of the giant wooden branches. After eating Bertolt, his body had been in an excited and exhausted state, tired and unable to fall asleep.Even so, he still conserved his physical energy to the greatest extent for the next march.

Alan and Mikasa were sitting on the other side of the branch, plotting fiercely, with terrifying expressions.

"That's why I said... kill him now!" Alan suppressed his anger and said with hatred in his eyes, "He is very weak now..."

"But……"

"Don't you want to avenge Almin!? Or are you also bewitched by that demon?..."

"I know. But... if we do something here, how do we return to Rose's Wall?"

"It's up to me to take away his super-giant power! Next, we have to rely on our own strength and can no longer be at the mercy of him!!" Allen gritted his teeth and stood up excitedly.

"..." Mikasa sat, looking at Alan helplessly.Ever since the start of the battle to recapture the Wall of Maria, she has been forced to deal with unexpected situations and had to make choices. The power of a large giant?"

"Never mind him! How can you guarantee that he won't let us die in the rest of the journey!? If you don't do it, you won't have a chance!"

Mikasa closed her eyes silently, with cold sweat on her face.She knew that she couldn't stop the furious Allen at this time, and she couldn't let go of Almin's death and the series of events that happened before...

then……

The next second, the sound of retracting and releasing the rope of the three-dimensional mobile device sounded, and Mikasa swiftly flew from the branch where Irwin was. On the shoulder, the blade clamped his neck...

"Don't move! I will never give you time to react this time..."

Alvin was suppressed and sat leaning against the tree trunk, and in his eyes was Mikasa who was like a god of death wielding a death scythe, and Alan who descended to the branch one step behind her.He didn't have time to react to the sudden attack of the two, but it didn't surprise him.

【It's finally here...】

Allen, who landed on the branch, stepped forward, with one hand between his teeth, and the anger and hatred in his eyes had been replaced by a cold contempt.

【Is it really going to be like this...】

Looking at the actions of the two, Alvin also knew a thing or two about their tactics.Just as the two were about to start, he said:

"and many more!"

It's ridiculous to say that this is already the seventh time that he has come to the gate of hell.Yes, the seventh time since the start of the battle to recapture the Wall of Maria.

The first time was when the armored giant looked at him on the city wall; the second time was when the beast giant threw flying stones outside the city wall; the third time was when he turned into an innocent giant and approached Bertolt; It was when she was unconscious after seizing the power of a giant giant; the fifth time was when she was held around her neck by a blade in the basement; the sixth time was when she confronted a beast giant...

And the seventh time is now.

What's even more ridiculous is... He still wants to live every time, and he survives every time... No matter how despicable and shameless methods are used, no matter how deceptive methods are used...

"If you kill me, how will you return to the wall?"

"Shut up, you scum! This is the end, do you want to beg us for mercy!?" Alan took the back of his hand out between his teeth and said angrily.

"I dare say that after killing me, you will never be able to return to the wall."

"I'll take your colossus and return to the wall on my own!"

"But there is no evidence that the attacking giant can also gain the power of a super giant, is there?" Alvin looked directly at the two people in front of him, and said the biggest blind spot of this operation, "I have a plan, let us Back inside the wall without a hitch—after dawn tomorrow, we will still be outside Rose's Wall."

The air froze for a moment, and the two maintained their combat readiness postures while listening to Alvin's next words.Allen's strategy was too unstable, simply taking away Irwin's giant power, but it couldn't guarantee the follow-up.

"At that time, let Allen turn into a giant to carry us forward to save gas. At the same time, we also used the three-dimensional mobile device to clear the giants close to him individually, so as to return to the wall."

"But what if there are too many giants around...?" Mikasa asked, she didn't think it would be so easy to return to the wall.

"At that time... I can only rely on the power of my super giant to clear the surrounding giants in one fell swoop, and then you return to the wall under my cover."

"How do you ensure that you can use the power of the super giant smoothly?" Allen asked immediately.

"Then how can you guarantee that you can successfully use the power of the attacking giant and the super giant?" Alvin also shot back.

Allen froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and glared at each other with Alvin.

"What are you going to do when you return to the wall?" Mikasa asked amidst the stalemate.

"...Eldia has always been killing each other. It's like this inside the wall, outside the wall, inside and outside the wall." He slowly told the fate of the world and himself, "I just want to end That's all. Let us be truly free!"

free……

Allen opened his eyes slightly.

free.Isn't this what he's longed for all this time?

But... the boy who gave him this dream is no longer here...

Being given by this demon in front of me...

Thinking of this, his expression was about to turn into anger again.But at this moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Alan..." The voice was the whisper of a demon, "Haven't you been pursuing freedom?...But those who can't give up anything, can't get anything. The death of your companion...does it make you unable to see the future clearly? ?”

[What are you scum talking about! ? ...]

Allen glared at the source of the voice, but the other party's next words hit his heart like a hammer.

"Is this the only level of your desire for freedom!?"

desire for freedom...

But is this guy doing it for human freedom, or his own selfish desires?Selfish desires... That's right, sacrificing the selfish desires of your companions...

Let others die for themselves? ...

Haven't I been doing this all the time along the way?Before, I faintly felt that I was special, but later I regretted it.Hesitating between believing in oneself and in one's companions, between sacrificing oneself and sacrificing others...

Is there such a thing as a special person?Is there any so-called hope for mankind?Is it right at all to sacrifice the majority for the sake of the special few? ...

He can't figure it out...

"As long as it is to surpass the devil, even humanity can be abandoned."

At the end of his thoughts, a familiar voice sounded from the bottom of his heart again, and the face of the blond boy appeared in his mind...

"The person who surpasses the devil will eventually become the next devil..."

This is the second half of the sentence that the boy told himself one day.

He, doesn't know what to do...

"Mikasa, get out of the way!" All of a sudden, Allen grabbed Mikasa's shoulder and pulled her away from Erwin roughly, and walked in front of him by himself.

"Wait!——" Mikasa couldn't figure out what he wanted to do for a while, just worried that Erwin would suddenly become a super giant, but before she finished speaking, he had already used his right hand heavily The fist hit Erwin on the left cheek.

Then the next punch came immediately, and the left fist landed on his right cheek.Back and forth like this, the sound of wind whizzing by powerful fists and the sound of fist-to-flesh collisions resonated. Under the violent impact from left to right alternately, Erwin's head kept shaking and bumping against the tree trunk against which his back was leaning...

The mouth was already dripping with blood, and the knocked out teeth had to be swallowed by themselves.There was blood slowly flowing out of his nasal cavity, his swollen eye sockets gradually made him unable to see clearly ahead, he only felt that punches that were stronger than one punch continued like a storm... He was not treated as a human being The strength is the strength that wants to beat him to death, and it is the strength that is based on his ability to recover on his own.

For a moment, there was only the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh in the dull air.

After a while, the skin on Alan's fists was worn away, bleeding; while Alan's cheekbones were shattered, and there was almost no place to punch on his bruised and mottled face... But Alan still Did not stop.

He punched him hard in the stomach with the most powerful punch he had ever done since the beginning, with such force that it seemed as if he was about to smash the tree trunk behind him.This punch caused Alvin's stomach to churn instantly, and a fishy sweetness appeared in his throat instantly, and blood spewed out of his mouth uncontrollably.

After the punch, I don't know if the anger has been vented, or he is finally tired from the fight, Allen stopped, turned his back and walked a few steps back, walking past Mikasa, leaving a back view to the two of them .

Alvin gasped in embarrassment, his brows were furrowed in pain, and the words of Allen behind his back came from the front:

"Sure enough, I still can't forgive you... I want to kill you, I want you to die in pain!"

The curse words of resentment echoed in the stuffy air, and I was speechless for a while...

After that, Allen stopped speaking, and flew back to the original branch with a three-dimensional mobile device.Mikasa turned her head and took one last look at Irwin who lowered his head and was embarrassed and speechless.

He didn't become a super giant, neither fought back nor made a sound, and let Alan beat him in silence...Is it because he also felt that he couldn't get back inside the wall by himself?Or... he also has a sense of guilt and remorse in his heart...

As the sun was setting, Allen and Mikasa sat back to back to recharge their batteries. Alvin, who had been sitting leaning all the time, raised his head slightly at this time, looking at the blood-stained setting sun...

His internal and external wounds have gradually healed, but not so fast, and his face is still bruised and purple.He looked up at the endless dusk, trying to find freedom from the vast sky to relieve his knots, but he only felt the dullness of the cage.

Once, he longed to go out of the wall and seek freedom on the eagles in the sky; then, at some point, even the sky above his head was no longer open.

The world is like a shackle, and I am like a journey against the sky...

The painful pain will fade away with the self-healing of the wound, but the gully in the heart will become more and more rugged and deep as the sword moves...

He thought about death again.

Thinking of the death that I have thought about countless times...

Really...

Weak.

Obviously not long ago he sacrificed his companions to keep him alive, obviously not long ago he found a reason for himself to live, obviously not long ago he wrote a blank check for the revival of Eldia...

But a fire of karma in the depths of his heart was faintly rising, and now he had a kind of unstoppable feeling.
