Chapter 17 On that day, people remembered...
The trio were startled when they saw Roy and Liu. What was going on with these two? They were walking so silently.
When Armin was caught discussing others, he quickly apologized, "I'm very sorry, we didn't mean to."
"It's alright, it's alright!"
The trio were only about ten years old at the time. Roy was much taller than them, and he placed his two large hands on Allen and Armin's heads, messing up their hair.
Allen pushed Roy away with difficulty. "What do you want to do? We don't have any money for you."
Roy smiled and turned to leave, saying, "Something's about to happen inside the walls. Hurry back, be with your family, and get as far away as possible."
"What's wrong with that person?"
Watching Roy and his companion's retreating figures, the trio exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding creeping into their hearts.
boom!
Minutes later, accompanied by a deafening roar, dazzling golden lightning descended from the sky, bursting forth outside the towering city walls.
It felt as if a major earthquake had occurred; people living inside the walls could feel the violent tremors.
People looked up and gazed toward the source of the sound.
A bald head appeared on the fifty-meter-high city wall, like a giant god from mythology, its eyes fixed on them, these tiny ants.
Liu's lips parted slightly. Based on the height of the city wall, this giant was at least sixty meters tall. It was rare to see such a monster even in the underground city.
Bang! !
The colossal giant raised its foot high and kicked the wall and gate, shattering them instantly. Countless stone fragments flew out and crashed towards the city.
A series of loud, continuous roars echoed as fragments of stone, accompanied by a powerful whooshing sound, fell onto houses and streets, killing many people instantly. Those who narrowly escaped were paralyzed with fear and sat on the ground.
"The outer gate of the Shiganshina district has been broken!"
"The giants are coming in! Run!"
……
Panic shouts echoed throughout the walls as everyone fled in a frantic rush.
In contrast to the fleeing crowd, two figures ran towards the broken city gate, attracting curious glances from many. Whose generals were they...?
Roy and Ryu made their way through the chaotic crowd to the front of the breached city gate.
A large group of Immaculate Giants appeared before their eyes, varying in size from fifteen meters to three meters, and all of them had a ferocious appearance.
Roy took a running start and leaped onto the roof. The main force in the fight against the Titans was Ryu; he would at most deal with some Titans that were three or four meters tall.
Compared to the ordinary people who fled, Ryu's head-on confrontation immediately attracted the attention of the Pure Titan.
A dozen giants surrounded the elven girl.
A giant about twelve meters tall stretched out his huge hand and reached out to grab the elven girl, its massive shadow covering the sky and the surrounding area.
"Too slow!"
Liu Tian's blue eyes reflected the giant's huge hand. This speed was not even as fast as the monsters on the tenth floor of the dungeon. Just as Roy said, the only advantage of these giants was their size. What needed to be careful of were the abnormal species.
Just as the giant's large hand was about to grab Liu, she flipped over and easily jumped onto the back of the giant's hand. Her slender legs instantly exerted force, and she rushed up the arm.
In the blink of an eye, it was like a gust of wind.
Theoretically, it would take two knives to cut open the flesh of the Immaculate Giant's nape, but the elven girl, relying on her superhuman strength, sliced the Immaculate Giant's head off with her wooden knife as it cut through the nape of his neck.
Bang!
The enormous head slammed to the ground.
The elven girl's graceful figure hung upside down in mid-air as she swiftly swung her wooden sword, slicing the giant's nape into countless pieces and killing him instantly.
During this process, the blood of the Immaculate Giant, gushing out like a fountain, inevitably fell on the elven girl, turning her into a blood-soaked figure.
Its body reeked of a fishy stench, which was unbearable for an elf with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.
"Roy..."
The elven girl gritted her teeth and attacked the Immaculate Giants even more ruthlessly, showing no mercy.
Seeing the elf girl's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot, Roy felt a chill run down his spine and silently withdrew his gaze, forcibly shifting it to the giant.
Ryu attracted most of the Pure Titans, but three or four Titans surrounded Roy, clinging to the walls of the house, trying to climb up and grab him.
Roy spotted a three-meter-tall giant with burning eyes. The dungeon mission rewards 30-100 attribute points based on the giant's physical abilities.
Theoretically, to maximize benefits, Ryū should kill as many large Titans or Abnormal Titans as possible.
Killing the three-meter-class giant only reduced his reward, but Roy didn't think so. He wanted to seize every opportunity to become stronger. Fighting the giants would also increase his ability value and give him combat experience.
Roy jumped off the roof and landed on the shoulders of the three-meter-tall giant who was about to climb up.
Before his opponent could react, Roy swung his Mura-no-Kami sword, spun around, and slashed across the back of his opponent's neck, the wound so deep that the bone was visible.
Bang!
The little giant crashed heavily to the ground, struggled for a moment, then fell silent, emitting puffs of steam.
[Successfully defeated the 3.1-meter giant, gaining 30 attribute points!]
On the battlefield, Roy did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he added all the points to his Dexterity attribute.
[Dexterity: 9→39 (I)]
A giant about seven meters tall appeared behind Roy, its arms clasped together, trying to grab him.
Ride with the wind!
Roy's mind raced, and he activated the special effect of his Wind Chaser Boots, bringing his agility to near A-level. He charged forward and slid through the seven-meter giant's legs.
The Murakami sword, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, easily severed the giant's right heel, causing the giant's body to tilt and crash down onto the house on the right.
Roy rushed forward and chopped the giant's nape into a pile of mangled flesh, spraying him with foul-smelling blood. His face showed the same expression as Ryu's.
Compared to Ryu, he is a mixture of disgust and pleasure.
[Successfully defeated a 7.5-meter-class giant, gaining 52 attribute points]
[Dexterity: 39→91 (I)]
[Strength: 18→25 (I)]
Endurance: 36→38 (I)
Agility: 600 → 601 (C)
Roy then added the attribute points he gained to Dexterity. Other attributes also improved due to the battle, but relatively speaking, not as much as those he directly added.
He gains strength through battle; each giant he kills increases his stats, and the next battle allows his body to quickly adapt to the increased power.
Compared to his difficult task of dealing with two Immaculate Giants.
In the distance, Ryu had already killed more than a dozen giants, including many strange creatures, leaving corpses strewn across the field.
Roy glanced at them and saw that the giants over ten meters tall were probably LV.2. The abnormal species were LV.2 with specialized attributes. Due to their slow movements and the weakness of the nape of their necks, the LV.4 Ryu was particularly easy to kill.
Just then, Roy's pupils contracted slightly. In the chaotic crowd, he spotted two familiar figures. "Looks like I'm going to hit the jackpot this time!"
