Chapter 2125 - Searching for the Culprit (2/2)
——
They traveled along the coastline and soon arrived at Crete.
Green Sprouts Island was to the west of Crete. Crete itself was shaped like a comb. It was located to the south of Greece, but the head of the comb was now gone. Only a few broken pieces of it remained, like an island that had exploded. Some pieces were still on the surface, while the rest had sunk into the ocean.
The Tyrant Titan was already gone by the time they reached the venue of the incident.
“The Tyrant Titans are terrifying not only because they possess destructive power with their mountainous bodies, but because it’s difficult to track them down. They might suddenly poke their heads above a mountain close to the city when the sun is up in the sky and look down at us like we are mere toys. They might also appear during a pitch-black night. Everyone would assume it is only a normal earthquake until the streets are destroyed and the buildings collapse. It might even happen in the afternoon when we lower our guard. Their massive figures suddenly appear in our view, even when the sentries are watching the sea at all times…” Poseidon told the others behind him.
The group who came with Poseidon to investigate the incident consisted of seven Golden Sun Knights, fifty Silver Moon Knights, and three Muses.
“Commander, we have only found a single footprint so far. It’s fifty meters long and seventeen meters wide. I believe this titan is taller than the lighthouse in Athens. We still can’t identify its level,” a Golden Sun Knight reported.
“Can’t we determine its level through its height?” Mo Fan asked.
Tuis, who had been silent most of the time, spoke as if he was purposely trying to pick on Mo Fan, “How naïve can you be? A Tyrant Titans’ height and size aren’t proportional to its level. Even a Blue Star Tyrant Titan might be as tall as a skyscraper, and a Golden Sun Tyrant Tian might be around the height of a tree if it’s in a bad environment.”
“Yes, we can only learn its height from the footprint, but there’s one thing we are sure of: the bigger their size, the greater their physical strength!” Poseidon also answered.
“Those who are here are experienced Knights, Muses, and Hunters. I’m afraid outsiders like you couldn’t even find the shadows of the Tyrant Titans, let alone hunt them!” Tuis scoffed.
“The one responsible for butchering Green Sprouts City is good at hiding. It won’t be easy to track it down,” Poseidon said with a worried face.
The Tyrant Titans never showed any signs before they appeared. They might even walk around your house a few times and smash your neighbors’ houses into pieces, but they were always able to conceal their presence.
It was a very strange phenomenon. They still did not understand how the Tyrant Titans were so good at hiding their massive bodies and loud footsteps.
“Please check the surroundings thoroughly and see if we can find any clues,” Poseidon told the others.
The Knights went their separate ways. Green Sprouts Island was not small and the Tyrant Titans could easily raze the residential areas to the ground, so it was not easy for them to search for clues. It also had many mountains and small islands around it.

Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai were naturally together. None of the Knights were willing to team up with Mo Fan. They were holding a grudge against him after he challenged an entire class of Blue Star Knights, and he had offended the Tuis, too. The three had no choice but to rely on themselves.
“Look, there’s a pile of clothes over there,” Zhao Manyan pointed at a pool of mud.
“Clothes? Why do I feel like it’s a person?” Mo Fan said.
“I think they are just clothes. They are just squashed.”
“I think it’s a human. Whoever it is is just skinny.”
“I bet it’s just some clothes.”
“I bet…”
“Will you die if you go closer to check it out?” Mu Bai sighed.
