stand-in creed

Cameo, whose spine had been broken by the kick, lost his breath in an instant and fell to the ground.

Kakyoin murdered.

This was the first time in Noriaki Kakyoin's life that he took another's life.

But at this moment, Kakyoin is more concerned about other things than killing people——

"The enchantment of the Green Emperor, the enchantment that was created with great difficulty has been destroyed! What should I do now, Nero, Dior is about to rush in, use your heavenly ladder to think about it... what——!!!"

boom!

Before Kakyoin could react, a broken bulkhead pressed against Kakyoin's body, pushing him back hard.

Kakyoin's pupils shrank.

This is the ability of the ladder to heaven.

Looking up suddenly, I saw Nero, who was getting further and further away, calmly spoke to himself.

"Run away, Kakyoin.

"Don't look back."

Chapter 63

This is a natural choice.

At least in Dior's view, it's only natural for Nero, who is at his wit's end, to make such a move.

Watching Kakyoin being held down by the broken bulkhead controlled by the Stairway to Heaven and flying farther and farther, Dio had no intention of chasing after him, but just looked at Nero in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Hoho, trying to send Huajingyuan away at the last moment?

"Did you hear Death's footsteps? Did you feel despair? Nero Zeppelin!"

Dio is laughing.

Nero was laughing too.

"Despair? No, the moment I took Kakyoin away, neither despair nor hope, I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to do it instinctively. But now that you ask, I still want to Said—there is still hope.”

"Hoho?"

Dio raised an eyebrow.

Immediately Dio couldn't help laughing.

"Under such circumstances, you still have hope?

"The barrier of the green emperor has been broken, and you are completely within the range of my "world".Not only that, but I will never make the mistake of being affected by your desperately launched ripple attack like before!

"I will kill you carefully, and then just like humans carefully remove the poisonous parts when eating puffer fish, I will completely seal your lungs and trachea, and make sure that there is no trace of ripple on your body before inhaling. Dry your blood and heal the scars on my left hand and body.

"Under such circumstances, what hope do you have? Could it be—Kujo Jotaro?

"Hehehehehe, hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Dio's laughter echoed down the aisle.

Immediately, Dio pointed his left hand at Nero suddenly, and then he was embarrassed to find that he had no left hand, so he changed his right hand to Nero.

"It's true that Vanilla Ace may not be able to delay this long, but—

"It's as if there are very few candidates who are stuck at the last second to complete the entire test paper. The hero who appears at the right time when his teammates are about to die and then repels the enemy can only appear in Hollywood movies!

"How can there be so many coincidences in reality!

"So die obediently, Nero! The green emperor's tortoise shell can't save you, and the ripple lens can't save you. Even God can't save you. There is only one person who can save you, and that is me Dio !

"Pray to me, maybe I will be kind enough to turn you into a corpse and resurrect you after you die, maybe?"

"...a corpse? Isn't it a vampire?" Nero was a little curious.

"Ha!" Dio sneered, "That corpse man in Rome called himself a vampire, right? That was a lie! Dio made only degraded corpses. There is only one way to become a vampire. , That is to bring the stone ghost mask!

"But you guy, you don't think you are the type who would like to turn into a corpse and live a meager life, right?

"You are an enlightened person, a person with a golden spirit! Although you are not as shining as JOJO, you are indeed an excellent ripple messenger.

"so--

"-Die!!!"

The distance of two meters is fleeting.

The right fist of the world picked up a broken but sharp bulkhead and pointed it at Nero's throat.

But at this moment, Nero smiled.

"I won this match, Dior!"

"what……"

The voice just fell.

The world's right arm holding the fragments began to shatter strangely as it approached Nero's body.

And what makes Dio even more unbelievable is the magma-like brilliance at the fracture——

— Rippled brilliance.

"world--!!!"

An absurd sense of fear hung over Dio's heart.

The moment time stopped, Dio suddenly looked at the hole he had blasted in the bulkhead in the first round of attack, and the extremely sharp edge of the hole.

puff!

Without the slightest hesitation.

Dio abruptly pressed his right arm against the sharp edge of the hole, and the burning right arm instantly turned into fly ash and dissipated in the air.

"What the hell is going on? Why did I get hit by Ripple!

"I didn't have physical contact with him, nor was I hurt by the corrugated knife, why did the ripples act on the body of the "world" ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! "

There was madness on Dio's face.

However, Dio, who lost his hands, did not dare to take a step closer to Nero.

Dio racked his brains and thought hard, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Five seconds.

fleeting.

After time resumed, Nero smiled and looked at Dio in front of him.

"Dior, are you so forgetful? You've seen this trick before, haven't you?"

"I have seen?"

Dio stared at Nero in astonishment, but the next moment he had a flash of inspiration.

Dio muttered, "...Lens?"

The wind blew over the broken part of Dio's arm.

In front of Nero, the lens whose refractive index was changed before appeared in front of Dio again, and Nero's position began to distort and change.

The only difference is that this lens shines with a rippled brilliance.

"...You, you, you, you, you, by changing the refraction of light, you hide the brilliance of the ripples! At first glance, there is nothing in front of you, but in fact, there is a "fog of ripples" hidden to ambush me!

"Even Kakyoin was used by you!

"It was a scene of despair anyway, and it was a scene of helping a friend escape before dying, and you staged it on purpose! In order to make me, Dior, believe in your "impossible" drama! ! ! "

Dio yelled angrily.

Nero shrugged.

"If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself.

"What's more, the "range distance" of my move is quite low, only about two meters.What's more, you who are racking your brains and scheming under normal circumstances will definitely not rashly approach me, whose whole body is covered in ripples. If you attack Kakyoin first, it will be troublesome.

"That's why you must confirm from the bottom of your heart that you have "victory". If you believe that you have thwarted all of Nero Zeppelin's schemes, you will walk into my range swaggeringly.

"By the way, please don't tell Mr. Joestar about this move. After all, this move is strictly the move of the man who killed my grandfather in the old story told by Mr. Joestar. Wamuu moves -

"——The Flow of the Wind.

"Although I can't play with the wind like the guy in the old story, I can still learn some superficial things."

Speaking of it.

Nero floated in mid-air with the Stairway to Heaven, posing a weird pose to Dio.

"This "intelligence" battle is our victory! "

"Damn Zeppelin-!!!"

Amidst the roar, Dio paused the time.

And when five seconds later, Dio's figure completely disappeared in front of Nero's eyes, only Kakyoin not far behind walked over with a black line.

"Nero... Can you tell me in advance next time there is such a battle?"

"Kakyoin, although I really want to promise you, but the question is...do you want another time?"

"Uh."

Kakyoin was at a loss for words for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Kakyoin asked.

"Dio escaped? What should I do next?"

"The competition of intelligence is over, and the next is the competition of strength."

"……strength?"

Kakyoin was a little puzzled.

However, a faint roar from a distance brought Kakyoin the answer——

"—Platinum Star·World!!!"

Chapter 4 Fig Tower Seven

"Damn Ripple Messenger.

"Whether it was a hundred years ago or a hundred years later, I, Dior, have suffered such a shame!"

Dio, who lost his hands, left Nero without any hesitation.

Generally speaking, people will call such an act-

Run away.

"It has to be recovered, both hands must be recovered! I have to admit that I am no match for Qibelin who lost both hands, but——I still have the possibility of coming back!

"Just get there, just get there..."

Dio thought so.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from Dio's ear.

"Where are you going, Dio?"

"What?! This voice...is Jotaro Kujo!!!"

Dio suddenly looked in the direction of the voice, and what caught his eyes was Jotaro Kujo with a cigarette in his mouth.

moment.

Dior has a deep understanding of the meaning of what the ancients said that there were wolves before and tigers behind.

And when the Platinum Star's fist came into Dio's eyes and enlarged bit by bit, the two activated their abilities at the same time.

"—Platinum Star·World!!!"

"--world!!!"
