The Fate Titan lowered its head and stared at its own arms. At that moment, a thick, smooth tail had already tightly coiled around them, locking both arms in place.
But what surprised Yago wasn't the Sea-Diving Titan's tail—it was the sharp spike at its base.
Looking closely, there was a concealed cavity at the tip of the Sea-Diving Titan's tail, and blue mist was continuously spraying out from within it.
The instant that blue mist touched the Fate Titan's arms, a sizzling sound rang out. Don't misunderstand—it wasn't the sound of hardening forming, but the sound of frost rapidly crystallizing across the Fate Titan's arms.
"What is this thing?"
Yago could feel the sensation in the Fate Titan's arms fading away. At the same time, the Sea-Diving Titan let out a low roar and yanked hard with its tail.
Crack! Crack!
The Fate Titan's arms shattered like blocks of ice, torn apart into red-and-white fragments under the immense force of the Sea-Diving Titan's tail.
Even after the broken pieces hit the ground, they continued to emit a chilling frost, proof of just how terrifying that mist was.
In truth, this was Airi Ambers's Sea-Diving Titan's secret weapon. With this ability alone, the Sea-Diving Titan could easily form ice spikes in the sea as hard as reef stone. Once linked together, those spikes would become a nightmare for naval fleets.
The Fate Titan, now armless, stepped back slightly. Naturally, the Sea-Diving Titan wouldn't let such a golden opportunity slip away and charged forward, swinging its fin-like arms.
From a distance, Serena couldn't help but worry for Yago.
Steam rolled from the severed stumps, flesh writhing as new buds formed. The immense Titan power was rapidly regenerating the Fate Titan's body.
The Sea-Diving Titan noticed this as well. Following the principle of striking while the enemy is weak, its attacks grew even more frenzied.
Sharp fins sliced through the air with piercing whistles. With its arms not yet restored, the Fate Titan had no choice but to temporarily avoid the edge of the assault, retreating again and again.
But Airi's own limited hand-to-hand combat skills gave the still-disabled Fate Titan an opening.
Twisting its body to evade another strike, the Fate Titan suddenly leapt to the Sea-Diving Titan's side. Before the latter could react, it stomped down fiercely. The sheer force cracked the valley floor, splitting the ground into long fractures.
A leg packed with power lashed out violently—
Bang!!
The Sea-Diving Titan took a heavy blow, its massive body sent flying. It tumbled repeatedly across the desolate valley.
"Roar!"
The Fate Titan raised its head and let out a defiant roar.
With a sharp scrape, the Sea-Diving Titan's claws dug deeply into the earth, embedding themselves into the soil. Its slender crimson eyes fixed once more on the Fate Titan.
In that short span of time, the Fate Titan's arms had fully regenerated. Wrapped in white swirling cloud-like patterns, they clenched into fists with renewed strength.
"After playing around this long, it's about time to end this. Sorry, Airi—I don't have time to drag this out."
Inside the nape of the Fate Titan, Yago noticed the sky was about to break into dawn. Time was short. No more messing around—this had to be decided quickly.
The Sea-Diving Titan charged yet again.
But this time, the Fate Titan showed no intention of defending. Instead, it stood upright, striking a dramatic pose as it casually raised one arm, palm open.
Airi felt both shocked and furious. How could he look down on her like this? She was a Marleyan Titan warrior! Even the Middle Easterners' navy trembled at the mention of her name!
When the Sea-Diving Titan came within a dozen meters, a brilliant white light burst from the Fate Titan's open palm.
Centered beneath its feet, vast swaths of white hardening rapidly spread across the ground. With a mere thought from Yago, pillars of white hardened crystal shot upward from the earth.
Thud! Thud!
Several hardened crystal pillars instantly skewered the Sea-Diving Titan, turning it into a grotesque string of candied hawthorns.
Inside the Sea-Diving Titan's nape, Airi's eyes widened. If Yago were in front of her now, she would definitely curse at him—
"You're cheating!!?"
Like a fish impaled by a harpoon, the Sea-Diving Titan writhed desperately. Its agile tail lashed about wildly.
The Fate Titan strolled over leisurely, but the Sea-Diving Titan's tail still futilely tried to strike it, causing Yago inside the nape to frown.
He raised a hand. White light gathered. A two-handed hardened greatsword, six or seven meters long, materialized in his grip, gleaming coldly.
The Fate Titan grasped the sword with both hands, swung it high—
And brought it down in a vicious slash.
Squelch!!
Blood sprayed everywhere. The Sea-Diving Titan let out a shrill roar as its flexible tail crashed to the ground, still twitching and writhing.
Steam and blood poured from the severed stump, and the Sea-Diving Titan struggled even more violently.
"Why are you so lively? Can't you quiet down a bit?"
Yago looked at the struggling Sea-Diving Titan with displeasure. Time was running out—he couldn't afford to waste it on Airi.
With a casual motion, he dismissed the greatsword. Raising his hand again, white light condensed once more.
A handle over ten meters long formed, topped with a massive spiked hammerhead bristling with barbs. If the War Hammer Titan were here, it would surely curse the Fate Titan for shamelessly plagiarizing its long-handled spiked mace.
But when it comes to Titan powers, can you call it plagiarism?
This is called borrowing inspiration!
Gripping the end of the long handle, the Fate Titan gathered strength and swung. The grotesque hammerhead tore through the air with a terrifying sonic boom.
Have you ever seen a fish vendor at a market? The seller scoops a fish from a basin and slams it onto the chopping board. The fish thrashes violently, of course. And what does the vendor do? He lifts a club and smashes it hard onto the fish's head. After that, the fish stops moving.
The situation now was no different.
The instant the spiked hammerhead struck the Sea-Diving Titan's skull, its head exploded apart instantly. A massive spray of indistinguishable red-and-white matter splattered in all directions.
The Sea-Diving Titan, which had been struggling moments before, went lifeless at once. Its body fell still, twitching only occasionally.
Inside the nape, Yago felt extremely satisfied at the sight. The power of the War Hammer Titan was truly handy—so convenient to use. The hammer felt perfect in his grip.
What a pity. Lara Tybur, who inherited the War Hammer Titan's power, seemed unable to unleash its true potential. Otherwise, under a full-force pincer attack from the War Hammer Titan and the Crimson Flame Titan, Yago would have had almost no chance of escaping unscathed.
With that thought, the long-handled spiked hammer in the Fate Titan's hand, the hardened ground, and the crystal pillars impaling the Sea-Diving Titan all dissolved together.
Though that last strike had been a bit brutal, Yago had been careful to avoid the Sea-Diving Titan's nape. So Airi was still alive.
Now then—it was time for a calm talk.
