“Great!”
Brushing the dust off his pants, the fat guy suddenly turned and looked up at the man watching. “What, don’t tell me your sense of justice is acting up.”
“Of course not.” Fang Bo, who had witnessed the entire scene, said thoughtfully, “I’m just thinking about how likely I am to kill you right now.”
Judging by the fat guy’s appearance, he was far from mortally wounded.
Considering the fat guy’s defensive talents and the unique weapon he held, Fang Bo had held back from attacking.
The fat guy’s cruel actions starkly revealed the harshness of the Reincarnation Space: no one could be trusted except oneself, and one must always be on guard against other reincarnations.
This was the lesson Fang Bo learned.
Apologies to the guide, but Fang Bo no longer intends to join the team. His uniqueness prevented anyone from constantly watching over him.
Hearing Fang Bo’s undisguised statement, the fat guy grinned, his Bone Chopper gleaming menacingly. “You can try now, but I bet you’ll fail.”
Fang Bo had a growth-type talent, while the enemy was a mighty defensive warrior. A direct confrontation would disadvantage Fang Bo.
Maybe he could leverage the guide’s help?
Before he could decide, a Titan’s roar echoed from afar.
The ground shook like an earthquake; the large stone had finally sealed the wall breach.
This meant the reincarnators’ primary mission was complete.
Main Mission: Retake Trost District (Completed)
You have earned 80 plot points.
You can choose to return to the Reincarnation Space immediately.
Warning: Choosing to return will immediately fail the hidden mission!
Fang Bo, of course, refused, though he felt pained by the mere 80 plot points.
His talent had awakened late, causing him to miss crucial farming opportunities. Then, he spent time witnessing the betrayal of the Marleyan trio.
Time-consuming events led to his low mission contribution.
“Hope it doesn’t affect the final evaluation.”
At this moment, the fat guy’s body started to turn transparent. Before leaving, he gestured a throat-slitting sign at Fang Bo.
“Pathetic shooter, next time we meet, I’ll show you the despairing gap in our abilities.”
So what if you’re brave and decisive?
Without the right talent, it’s meaningless. I can withstand damage, and big teams will surely want me.
Being on equal footing now doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. Frankly, he no longer saw Fang Bo as a threat.
Dreaming of a promising future, the fat guy vanished from the plot world.
Finding a quiet spot, Fang Bo sat down and observed the ecstatic soldiers. Soon, the ten-minute limit ended.
This meant Fang Bo was the only reincarnator left in Trost District.
“The real game begins now.”
Other tasks could wait. His priority was maxing out his talent.
The Marleyan trio wasn’t going anywhere; there was still much cleanup to do in Trost District.
While others celebrated, even the main characters embraced joyfully; Fang Bo continued hunting Titans.
His unusual behavior quickly caught the attention of an observant figure.
It was a man with dead fish eyes wearing the Survey Corps uniform. He always frowned and had dark circles under his eyes.
Levi Ackerman, the Survey Corps’ captain, is known for the highest individual combat prowess in the series.
Ordinary Titans were no match for him; even Marleyan warriors in Titan form could hardly last a few rounds against him.
Levi’s presence gave Fang Bo the confidence to accept the mission; relying solely on Mikasa and Eren wouldn’t suffice.
“Can someone tell me what’s going on?” Levi was baffled.
He came to aid Trost, only to find the breach sealed by a human-turned-Titan.
Had he fallen behind the times? Since when could the Garrison Regiment command Titans? Weren’t they just useless slackers?
Watching briefly, Levi joined the Titan hunt.
While others avoided Titans, he felt uneasy unless he killed ten or so a day.
Levi moved like the wind, slicing through Titans as if playing a game of tag with preschoolers.
His killing efficiency was ten times that of Fang Bo.
From Fang Bo’s estimate, Levi’s 3D Maneuver Gear mastery was at least level 10, perhaps higher, and his blade skills were equally sharp.
Watching Levi reduce a Titan to pieces, Fang Bo couldn’t help but marvel. Levi looked like a battery-powered spinning top.
Of course, Fang Bo wouldn’t voice this; otherwise, he’d taste Levi’s boot.
Legendary Trait (Heart of Steel) activated, +2 health.
As the last Titan fell, darkness enveloped the sky.
After relentless efforts, Fang Bo’s health had increased to 65 points.
“Five more points; with luck, I should finish tonight.”
Earlier, he had noticed the Garrison Regiment capturing two Titans, a rare occurrence, indicating imminent research on Pure Titans.
His opportunity had finally arrived.
That night, while Commander Pixis privately commended key contributors, Fang Bo uninvitedly entered.
Having read the report about the hero who awakened Eren, Pixis couldn’t turn him away.
But Fang Bo’s following words stunned everyone.
“Commander, during the battle in Trost District, I saw soldiers kill Marco, a new recruit from the 104th.”
Eren was the first to react.
Grabbing Fang Bo’s shoulder, he urgently asked, “Jason, are you saying Marco is dead?!”
The poor protagonist couldn’t believe his comrade’s death, unaware of the harsher truth yet to come.
Hearing of comrades killing each other, Commander Pixis’s face turned grave. “Soldier, tell me who did it.”
“Commander, the culprits are new recruits from the 104th.”
“Hey, are you saying…”
“Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt Hoover. They forcibly removed Marco’s gear and fed him to the Titans.”
“Shut up!” Eren shouted angrily.
