The moon was very low, so low that the waves rolling into the night sky were about to swallow it. A few dim stars were hiding behind the thin veil of clouds. One had to watch closely just to notice them.

A strong wind was blowing at the poppy shrubs scattered across the area. The bright flowers of the poppies were like glamorous ladies in long skirts in the spring.

The branches started shaking after a few loud thuds. A straight line of footprints had suddenly appeared on the ground, but there was nothing nearby.

A thin cloud suddenly shattered, as if something had bumped into it. A faint silhouette was barely visible in the mist. Its body had somehow merged with the night sky. It was almost transparent, despite its massive figure!

"Tyrant Titans like eating poppies, not because they are an entree dish before they eat meat, but because they have a strong lust for blood. They are often injured when they encounter strong enemies, and the only way to heal their wounds is to fall into a deep sleep in a safe place. They will struggle to fall asleep because of the pain from their wounds, but eating poppies will allow them to fall asleep after they have a meal," a soft voice in the shrubs remarked knowingly.

"HAHA, I didn't think it would actually show up here. Boss, you are awesome. You found the spot where the Tyrant Titan is searching for food before the military did. This Silver Moon Tyrant Titan belongs to our Red Pine Hunter Group!" a man with a sharp voice whispered.

There were unusual movements in the shrubs. The wind did not cause them. A Hunter Group had long been waiting in the shrubs.

The Red Pine Hunter Group was from Japan. The organs of Tyrant Titans had always been hot items in auctions. They could earn a lot more money than killing sea monsters!

They even broke the rules of their country and came all the way to Greece, just to hunt a Tyrant Titan!

"Boss, that thing looks a little… fierce."

"Don't be scared, there are more than fifty of us here!"

The leader of the Red Pine Hunter Grou was a Seven Star Hunter Master. His strength was already comparable to some of the Senior Hunters. However, he had yet to complete enough quests to increase his rank. Most Senior Hunters had contributed greatly to the Hunter Union. There were a limited number of Senior Hunters in the world because many people were stuck at the rank of Seven Stars Hunter Master.

Killing a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan… The achievement alone was enough for him to compete for the title of the strongest Hunter Master in Japan!

"It has stepped into our trap!"

"Dragon Whiskers Binding Formation!" the leader Akamatsu yelled.

Of the fifty Hunters, more than forty of them were experts of the Plant Element, whom Akamatsu had hired for a handsome amount.

Not many Mages focused a lot of time on mastering the Plant Element, yet it was the most effective Element against creatures like Tyrant Titans who had outstanding physical strength.

The Plant Element was the best way to pin them down. The Red Pine Hunter Group had already set up a trap for the Tyrant Titan while it was feeding on the poppies to numb its pain!

Countless branches reached out from the shrubs. They were flexible and tough. Hundreds of them had spread across the area under the control of the Plant Mages.

Their branches were blossoming like a huge flower if anyone was looking down from above. The Tyrant Titan was right in the middle of them!

The branches tied a few circles around the Tyrant Titan's limbs, waist, neck, shoulders, and joints that were crucial to its movement.

The other ends of the branches were fixed to the ground. When the Tyrant Titan tried to flee, the branches tightened and bound it to the ground. It could not break free from the branches no matter how hard it tried.

"Hehe, these Wood Whiskers can even hold a fly-over bridge in place. They are tougher than steel cables!" Akamatsu declared confidently.

The Tyrant Titan tried to turn around and use its momentum to pull the branches up. Normally, a rigid substance might snap when the object being tied was rotating with great force, but the branches were very flexible. They remained intact despite the Tyrant Titan's efforts.

"Boss, I'll go slice the back of its neck!" shouted Akamatsu's lackey, who wanted to look cool.

"Do you think this is a comic? That's a Tyrant Titan, not a titan from Attack on Titans!"

"Hehe, I was just kidding. Is that thing really a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan? It's not that impressive."

"Idiot, don't say something like that again in the middle of a fight. Don't you know the enemy will often go berserk and kill everyone whenever someone says that line in a comic?" Akamatsu scolded him.

"Ugh… you're right."

The members of the Red Pine Hunter Group kept their eyes fixed on the Tyrant Titan. They did not dare to lower their guard before its shocking size. They did not think it would be this easy to suppress a Ruler-level creature, and were ready for any unforeseen events.

However, the thing they were most worried about did not happen. The Tyrant Titan failed to break free from the Dragon Whiskers Binding Formation despite its efforts. The members of the Red Pine Hunter Group were confused.

"It has stopped struggling," the lackey noticed.

"That's strange, we have prepared other ways too… are we really that strong? Or the Tyrant Titan isn't as scary as everyone has said?" The leader of the Red Pine Hunter Group fondled his beard thoughtfully.

A short while later, the Tyrant Titan suddenly leaned forward and stopped moving, like a pig overwhelmed by fatigue and waiting to be slaughtered. The Mages exchanged glances with one another.

What the heck had just happened? They did not even attack it. Why did it surrender?

A few loud explosions suddenly came from the sea. This time, not just the grove started shaking, but the sky and the sea were shaking too!

The Hunters' vision blurred suddenly. It eventually returned to normal, but when they raised their heads and looked toward the beach, they saw a head emitting scorching steam rising from the sea a kilometer away from them.

Burning lava was flowing out of the cracks on its skin, like an erupting volcano rising above the surface of the sea!

"A...Another titan!"

The Red Pine Hunter Group stared at the beach in shock. The titan with scorching lava looked like it was right in front of them, leaving them greatly afraid!

It was a real titan, compared to the one that was trapped in the Dragon Whisker Binding Formation!
