1032 The Fall of Falcon Scott (50)

The colossal, headless body of Goliath tilted forward, and then started to fall. Because of its enormous size, it seemed as though the giant's corpse slowly floated through the air instead of crashing down in an obliterating avalanche of stone.

However, hundreds of Nightmare Creatures below were already panicking as they tried to flee and escape being crushed to death.

Sunny froze, momentarily stunned.

'...What just happened?'

He… he had killed the damned bastard? How? That was not what was supposed to happen!

Sunny had poured countless hours into creating the Siege Souvenir and making sure that Saint would Transcend in time. However, he had never expected to slay the Fallen Titan with one strike. A titan was a titan! They were not supposed to die so easily.

The plan was for the javelin to shatter the stone carapace on the chest of the giant, creating a path toward his heart. Master Jet was supposed to enter the breach and destroy Goliath's soul cores from within, while Sunny and Saint would attack from the outside. Together, they were meant to slowly bring the giant down… and maybe even survive the process.

When the titan had revealed his incandescent eye and started melting the city wall, Sunny was forced to switch targets and command Saint to aim for the eye instead. He had never thought that Goliath would be killed by that single strike.

…Was that eye the titan's Achilles heel?

Kim had not noticed a pronounced vulnerability after they encountered the giant on the coastal highway, though. Maybe her powers were not enough to see it? Or was the vulnerability only exposed when Goliath revealed his inner, hidden eye?

In any case, the titan… the titan was undoubtedly dead.

Sunny had killed him.

For a moment, a dark glee ignited in his heart.
