(Alexander POV)
…Fuck! I was really scared when I arrived and I found Eren's mom about to be devoured! I almost failed that mission... well, although I'm not complaining about can't getting the rewards of this one, the truth is that it would have been quite bad to have arrived to observe such an atrocious scene... surely I would have been almost as traumatized as these little ones would have been!!
Seeing it on a screen and seeing it in person is nothing to compare!
That's why I had to vent all my frustration on that female titan who almost ruined everything! That may have surprised the little ones a bit, but... at least it was better than if things had turned out the way I remembered!
Also, I must thank my instincts or abilities that warned me that something bad was about to happen... because of this feeling, I could only go ahead leaving the girls behind. I was sure they could take care of themselves for a while.
“M-Mr. angel, the titans are closing in on us…”
“A - Angel -san…”
“…keep running and don't stop!
Shigure, Saeko-chan, let's eliminate all the enemies that stand in our way!!”
""Yes!""
I thought I could relax a bit after rescuing this group, but… through of my [domain], I could feel that all the giants around us were heading straight in our direction! Surely this was not a coincidence!
I can only think of one thing for this… fate wanted Eren's mother to die, and it seems that it will keep trying to get it!! Or maybe… it was the world itself that wanted this!
Eren had the skill [Beloved Son of the World]… this skill certainly sounded good and its effects were quite good, but… there was one thing you could overlook for its benefits! It also meant that person was under the whims of the world!!
...if the world believed that " Eren needed to lose his mother to have a better development", at its convenience of course, then he will surely insist a lot until this one achieves it!
Anyway, no matter the reason, the problem now was that we had probably become the target of all the titans in the city! Fuck!! As Mikasa and Eren said, the closest Titans had stopped what they were doing and started to surround us!!
With no other choice, we could only make our way to the second wall by killing or neutralizing the giants that were trying to devour us!
As I gave orders to the girls next to me, as we all ran, each of them moved a little more to the right and left preparing their weapons to intercept the enemies in our path.
Saeko just uses her sword to create a blade of wind to cut off some of her enemy's limbs to slow them down… her actions don't change much from how she had been fighting until now.
The one that surprised me a bit was Shigure … that girl, wearing what looks like a chain to which she probably added a small knife, throws it and hangs on it after it got entangled in one of titans arms… then, she immediately uses her sword to make two quick cuts and get the crystal from this one!
…when did she get that chain?
Now that I think about it… those two took longer than I thought to catch up with me… so she probably did while we were apart! I-It seems that I had greatly underestimated how much she wanted to imitate the people we met before and who flew through the air using some artifacts!!
I can see a big smile and satisfaction on her face after she did this… I was a little worried that doing that might get her into trouble, but… so far, it seems like she's very skilled on that… I shouldn't underestimate her body control… and, above all, hr mastery with weapons! The way she wore that chain was like it has a life of its own!
Observing such a performance from her, I refrain from stopping her. Also, for now, I didn't have much time to worry about others... a titan moving on its four limbs had reached where I was! It was one of those that was over level 140 and seemed to have more rationality!
…these were a bit more troublesome to deal with as they could act in a more unpredictable way than the others!
But this time it seems I was lucky. Since he moved using all 4 limbs, that left him in a much easier position for me to take care of this one! I run straight towards the titan and when I am only a few meters away from it, I stop abruptly…
One of his hands grazes my face… then, activating my [ Limit -break] skill, everything around me slows down… I could see how the titan turns his face slowly seeing that he had failed to catch me. While this is happening, I jump on his arm in the air, and then I jump again to get on his back!
With my target fully located, my bastard sword stabs at the back of his head... but instead of being more of a cut, I use my weapon as a kind of shovel to remove the crystal hidden in his body!
The flames surround the piece of meat and, in a few seconds, it chars until only a crystal remains in front of me. Time returns to normal, and with a wave of my hand, I grab it as I jump off the giant's body to continue running.
“E-Everyone is amazing…”
"Y-Yes... angel-san and the two onesan are very strong!"
“S-Surprising…”
[Mikasa Affection + 50]
Seeing our every move, the little children had their eyes wide open and stared at us in surprise. No… there was someone whose gaze was much more intense… t-that gaze reminded me a bit of the first girls I rescued and founded the [Alexander-sama's Servants] organization!
Th-That worries me a little… ever since I had arrived with them, the system notifications about Mikasa's affections had not stopped ringing!! This was not the first time I heard this!! And every time it happened, the amount of this was quite a lot!!
I-I think her affection now exceeds the number 300... it's the first time I see how this indicator rises so quickly! I-I don't think this is very healthy, right? This can even become a kind of blind faith in me!!
Also, it wasn't just her… although I can't check it now, I'm sure the other two little ones also had pretty high affection indicators! Well…they may not be on the same level as her, but…if this continues, some strange church might spread out in this world!
I don't know How do I feel about this… I could only compare this to one of those weird sects from my previous world… and most of these were usually never good news!
Let's think about those things later... for now, let's focus on the goal of getting all of them out of here alive! If something like the girls from the [Alexander-sama's Servants] organization happens, it's also not that bad… I think.
"B-But... how can they do things like control fire and wind?"
“ T-That doesn't matter now, just keep running! ”
Well, most likely all of this is because, as the other two adults in the group mention, I and Saeko stand out too much using these weapons to attack. Although in my case, more than controlling the fire… I simply injected energy into the sword so that it would activate! It wasn't like Saeko that seemed to have some control or support of her weapon! In fact, the flames were constantly attacking me too!
D-Damn sword… this must also be one of the reasons why I looked like someone strange to other people! Being constantly surrounded by flames was surely too conspicuous! Also, I had to make an unnecessary expense since otherwise it would burn the cape I was wearing… I couldn't buy a normal one like the girls'!
…In the end, after getting tired of having to buy a new one every time I practiced in the morning, I opted to buy a [Fire Rat Fur Cloak - F]!!
Well… if it was all just negative things, then I would have let go of this sword long ago. Now that I had better energy control and a larger amount of energy in my body, I could show the full force of it! The power of this weapon should be at least at the peak of [F] rank!!
Also… after making some adjustments to the cuts with it, when I decapitated a titan, I could let the flames from the wounds done finish the job so they will expose the crystal so the titans had no chance to restore themself again.
So in fact it could be said that it was a perfect weapon to deal with these giants… now dealing with these was not that different than when decapitating zombies in [HOTD]!
Running for several minutes, the second wall was now much closer… we could almost reach a safe place and probably the mission to rescue Eren and his mother would be over! It was a bit more complicated than I thought, but… it was something we could do without taking too much risk.
No doubt we killed and incapacitated quite a few giants along the way… but what bothered me a bit, is that we had to leave behind most of the crystals of these! All a waste...
[Boom boom boom!]
""We arrived!!""
We finally got to where a lot of people were gathering and trying to cross to the other side of the wall…it seemed like we could relax a bit now. Since there was also a group of people like the ones we saw near the third wall taking out the approaching giants, and it also seemed like they were using cannons to help them, it didn't have to be the 3 of us who had to fight anymore.
"You guys come in... we'll try to help more people."
“E-Eh? A-Are you coming back, mister angel? ”
"N-No... it's dangerous, it's better that you 3 come with us"
“ I-I'm coming too, angel-san! I-I've gotten stronger…”
Unfortunately, I still had other missions to accomplish… I couldn't stay behind the second wall! We still had to fight. I don't think I'll be able to kill more than 1000 titans this time, but... I should make the most of this moment as best I can.
I try to separate ourselves from this group, but the children show different reactions to my words. Eren was looking at me seriously... I felt as if he respected me even more now! On the other hand, the blond boy, I think they called him Armin, seemed worried...
But among them, the one with the strongest reaction was definitely Mikasa… she wasn't lying about getting stronger, in fact, I was a bit surprised because of this! Now she was at the 7th limit!
...This certainly doesn't look like much, but... she should be less than 10 years old now!
“…protect them, we will see each other again later ”
“…will we really see each other again? Won't you leave again?”
"...not for now"
"..."
Even though she was even stronger than some of the adults I had seen in this city, of course I couldn't allow her to accompany me. The difference between the titans and her was too much… although I would like to help her get stronger by killing some giants, I could only see that as a very bad idea.
In fact, even the 3 of us can get into trouble if we're not careful…not to mention a little girl.
So after promising that to Mikasa, the three of us run back in the direction we came from. I wasn't lying to little Mikasa, we will surely see each other again.
[Special Mission “Prevent Eren from falling on the path of Vengeance ~! ” - F] [Completed]
Rescue Eren's mother to prevent the poor protagonist from sinking into his own hatred! It's sad to see how a little boy loses his mother and just spends his life trying to seek revenge!
Failure Conditions: Death of Eren or his mother
Rewards: 500 x Red Crystals.
500 x Million G
Additional Rewards: 5x Giant transformation serum
Skill [Hero] rank up
…as I thought, that mission was finally over. Now that they were in a safe place where it would be difficult for the giants to reach them, either fate or the world, they must have given up on getting Eren's mother's life.
Feeling like we've done something good, the 3 of us move around the city helping more people than we could and of course killing more titans! Also, now that we didn't have to worry about having to protect someone, things were a bit easier!
