Chapter 228 The Attack on Titan Returns
A man-made maze.
Not only the gods and people on Earth discussed this matter, but the dark factions were no exception.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ikeros exclaimed in amazement, "The floor master of the Water Labyrinth, Amphispina, appeared at the Ishtar Familia's residence and blew up the Pleasure District."
Joyful laughter echoed in the dimly lit hall.
He doesn't care about any losses; as long as he sees something "unexpected," that's enough.
Sanatos looked distressed and sighed repeatedly, "This is nothing to be happy about. Ishtar's key has been taken away."
Ishtar dared not tell the gods about the "Berserker" and the Eye of Daedalus, partly because she was afraid of losing face and not being able to control the other party with her charm.
The other party was a huge fan of Freya.
If Freya found out, she'd laugh herself to death; Ishtar would never want to see that scene.
Secondly, she feared that their collusion with the dark faction would be exposed. But Ishtar held nothing back from the dark faction and gave them a firm order to find the "Berserker" as soon as possible and avenge their humiliation.
Sanatos was in a difficult position when faced with the order from his benefactor, as he lacked the ability to do so!
According to previous intelligence, the berserker was LV.7, capable of suppressing "fierce" Ota, while they couldn't even handle Ota. Some time ago, Ota broke in and wreaked havoc.
That being said, Thanatos was very serious, after all, it concerned the safety of the man-made labyrinth, and the Eye of Daedalus falling into the hands of outsiders.
Where on earth is this "Berserker"? Sanatos was so worried that his hair was falling out in droves.
They investigated all the various factions but couldn't find a single clue, which was really strange.
As for Roy, he wasn't even served at the table.
While Roy was out there fighting against the Kingdom of Lachia for the sake of the village, he also went to the sword-making city of Zoringen. With Hephaestus as a witness, he had a perfect alibi, and no one suspected him at all.
At this moment, a fierce-looking woman emerged from the end of the passage. "You call yourselves gods? You can't even understand something this simple!"
"Valette—"
The two deities looked at the woman.
"Killer Empress" - Valetta Greed, one of the most important executives of the Dark Faction, and also the main villain in the great struggle three years ago. She considers herself the nemesis of "Hero" Finn, but seems to have never won a single time.
Sanatos looked at Valetta, his expression puzzled. "Valetta, what do you mean?"
Valetta, her face sour, exclaimed, "Freya Familia!"
Upon hearing this, the two deities were shaken.
Sanatos said, "You mean that Freya orchestrated everything, including the previous incident?"
Valeta scoffed, "Nonsense, there aren't that many LV.7 adventurers in the world!"
People only believe the conclusions they draw themselves.
Once you connect some things, you'll find there are many suspicious points, such as the situation they are currently facing.
The Berserker's primary objective is the Eye of Daedalus in Ishtar's possession. Who would need this? Clearly, it's for the artificial labyrinth!
Freya's clan has a motivation in this regard.
Very few people know about the man-made maze, Freya is one of them. She sent Ota to cause a huge disturbance before, and there's no guarantee that the other side won't try again.
Moreover, as Valetta said, the advancement to LV.7 is extremely difficult, with a powerful figure suddenly appearing who could suppress Ota and most of Freya's clan.
That's highly unlikely!
Is it possible that the battle between Freya's Familia and the "Berserker" was staged by them? Freya used her charm to seduce the eyewitnesses.
Freya also had a grudge against Ishtar.
With the wild imaginations of the two gods and Valetta, Freya is transformed into a terrifying mastermind, secretly manipulating everything, even exposing the other party's true identity, which is chilling to contemplate.
What exactly does Freya want to do?
It also happened during a brainstorming session among the gods, adventurers, and dark factions of Orario.
The real mastermind behind it all—Roy—returned to the village overnight, riding the Flying Hoof Thunder Ox and the Divine Wheel.
This blitzkrieg was a great success.
The round trip, including the capture of the Eye of Dedalus, took less than four hours.
Given this time difference, who could possibly suspect him? The other party is either cheating or insane. Roy tossed the Eye of Daedalus into his spatial ring, leaving it useless for the other party to search high and low.
With things in such a mess in Orario, Roy doesn't want to go back for the time being. Anyway, he has a Synchro Contract, and if anything unexpected happens, Ryu will definitely use the contract.
Roy started doing poverty alleviation work in the village, and incidentally, he also wanted to deter those who wanted to profit from the village. Basically, he just wanted to make his presence known and let people know that he was there.
At the same time, Roy pulled out the panel, kicked everyone else out, and added the two Amazon sisters as teammates.
[Tione and Tiona have been added as teammates. Two friend slots remain!]
Once he reaches LV.4, he can carry four people through a dungeon at once, but he can't carry anyone beyond a certain distance. Otherwise, he could also carry Daphne and Cassandra.
Name: Attack on Titan Difficulty: LV.2~LV.5
[The rewards have been adjusted; different levels of rewards will be awarded based on the different ability values of each member!]
[Roy: Defeating non-intelligent Titans ranging from 15 to 50 meters in height will grant 1 to 10 attribute points respectively!]
[Tione: Defeating mindless giants ranging from 15 to 50 meters in height will grant 20 to 80 attribute points respectively!]
[Tiona: Defeating mindless giants ranging from 15 to 50 meters in height will grant 20 to 80 attribute points respectively!]
Main task: Hunt down 100 mindless giants to trigger the return.
Bonus mission: Hunt down the Jaw Titan, Female Titan, Armored Titan, and Colossal Titan, earning 80, 100, and 120 respectively.
200 attribute points!
Bonus mission: Hunt down the Attack Titan (Founding Titan), reward: 500 attribute points!
Roy quickly chose the instance, "Attack on Titan," which he had entered before. Seeing the rewards for different members, he felt as sour as if he were eating lemons.
The rewards have been drastically reduced.
The attribute points he gained from defeating the 50-meter Colossal Titan were only half of what Tione and Tiona gained from defeating the 15-meter Pure Titan.
The difference between LV.4 and LV.3 is quite obvious.
There are also colossal giants.
He remembered that the Colossal Titan used to have 2000 attribute points, but now it only has 200.
However, the colossal giant that was hailed as the "God of Destruction" in that world and capable of overturning a military port was nothing special to Roy now.
It's equivalent to being able to cast an extremely long incantation spell like a LV.5 adventurer, after which you become a giant target. In terms of defense, it's not even as good as Goliath, the floor master of the seventeenth floor, and you'll be killed in no time.
Even after defeating Iskandar, Artoria only had five or six hundred attribute points. A mere Colossal Titan couldn't possibly be stronger than two Heroic Spirits.
"Close your eyes, I'll take you somewhere to have some fun." Roy looked at the two Amazon sisters.
Tiony and Tiona were very obedient.
Tiony even raised her delicate chin and pursed her lips, like a happy lover waiting for a kiss.
Roy, of course, didn't kiss her. He clicked "Enter Instance," and the three figures disappeared.
Paradis Island, the Wall of Mary.
A flash of light, and after a spatial teleportation, Roy and two girls appeared on a towering wall.
Roy said, "You can open your eyes now."
Tiony and Tiona slowly opened their eyes, and what came into view was a vast and boundless landscape, an endless wilderness, and a comfortable autumn breeze blowing on them.
The two men's faces showed shock.
They were certain they hadn't moved, yet they appeared out of thin air in this place; it was truly magical.
"Wow, Captain, where is this place?" Tiona asked excitedly.
Roy laughed, "This is my secret. I can teleport. Don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, Captain, I'd rather die than tell anyone!" Tione and Tiona said in unison, their little faces showing expressions of fearlessness.
"It's not that serious—"
Roy wanted to remind them that on the surface, he was virtually invincible.
If Tiony and Tiona were captured, Roy would hope they would use his information to save their lives.
The two excited Amazonian girls were clearly oblivious to the other sounds, curiously looking around.
Snapped!Snapped!
After a moment, their excitement subsided, and Roy clapped his hands. "I didn't bring you here for sightseeing. Time to work! See those tall monsters? Take them all down. Their weak point is the back of their necks!"
Tiony and Tiona had long noticed the ferocious Immaculate Giants, which swarmed inside and outside the walls, numbering no less than a thousand.
Upon hearing Roy's order, act immediately.
"Commander, don't worry about leaving it to us!"
The two leaped from the fifty-meter-high wall, crashing heavily to the ground like meteorites, and charged towards the enormous Immaculate Giants like wolves and tigers.
Their small faces showed no fear; at LV.3, they faced these Immaculate Giants without any pressure.
Tiona wielded the Great Twin Blades, Ulga, the sharp blade severing the bodies of the Unsullied Titans, then cutting open their napes with a single stroke, continuing to slaughter them.
Tione was more violent; with a light leap, she kicked the Immaculate Giant's neck, but her efficiency was significantly slower than Tione's.
Roy sat on the city wall, watching the two fight. "Tione, use the Silver Crescent Blade!"
Tiony looked over at the sound and muttered to himself, "This is a gift from the captain."
Roy knew exactly what the other was thinking. "I'm giving you this weapon to protect yourself. I'll give you as many gifts as you want in the future, but if you get injured now, forget about it!"
"Commander, it's a deal!"
Under Roy's coercion and enticement, Tione finally drew the Silver Crescent Blade from his waist and began to slay the Immaculate Titans, his efficiency increasing rapidly.
But she seemed to only hear about more gifts to come, and Tiony's excitement was hard to contain.
The Silver Moon Scimitar's special effect can only be used at night, but it's an epic-level item, so cutting down a few Unsullied Giants is as easy as chopping vegetables.
Several days later, at the Survey Corps' base.
The Survey Corps' top brass gathered together—Erwin, Levi, and Hange—all looking at a report before them, their brows furrowed.
The Wall of Mary has collapsed!
