TM : [258] The Arrival
🕑 Added 2024-01-29 16:00:05 +0000 UTC"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA————!" DIO laughed heartily.
Each strike of his fists against the Noble Phantasms sent them disappearing instantly.
However...
In the next moment, he furrowed his brow, "Tsk... should I say, worthy of being Servants? They still haven't died even after this?"
Though Lancer and Archer were both sent flying, blood streaming down from their heads, they were still alive. However, their combat capabilities were severely compromised in a short period.
"Their skulls should have been shattered... why?" Arash's EX-ranked durability prevented his spiritual core from being destroyed easily. Unless his spiritual core was destroyed or he activated his Noble Phantasm, killing him wouldn't be so simple.
As for Enkidu...
Apart from their Noble Phantasm, all other attributes were listed as "-," truly unpredictable. Killing them wasn't an easy feat!
And then, there was Shakespeare...
"Ah—Master! I'm about to exit the stage here—how tragic. The top-notch playwright, the renowned Shakespeare, is about to exit the stage! Isn't this a tragedy? There's nothing more pitiful in the world than this... truly lamentable. But, to exit the stage once again is an inevitable tragedy..."
"Focus on staying alive."
A nearby magus, nursing his head, treated his wounds. Even though the attacks were blocked by the Servants on their side, the aftermath had still inflicted significant injuries.
And as for Shakespeare...
Who knew what happened to him?
Clearly, he was sent flying, but observing him now, it was evident from his lively banter that he was far from death!
"How's it going, Arash?"
"Quite alright..." Arash touched his head and stood up, saying, "It's just a bit dizzy. Oh, oh, I'm much better now. Thanks, Master~~"
Healing magecract...
The radiance of healing magecract enveloped Arash, Enkidu, and Shakespeare, restoring their injuries.
"Well... it seems that only the ability of The World Over Heaven can truly send you into the Holy Grail... Alright, then... let's start with you!" DIO said, looking at Saber charging from behind him.
"BALMUNG!"
"MUDA MUDA, this fragile, paper-like thing disappears with a wave of my hand—"
In the next moment, Siegfried flew backward.
Another Noble Phantasm aimed at him!
Creating distance, continuous attacks—this way, they could eventually figure out the true nature of his abilities!
"How did this guy... achieve this?" Mordred gritted her teeth. How did he manage to nullify all attacks without any damage? In close combat, one punch would spell certain death!
The relentless attacks seemed never-ending...
Even with so many people, they could only be picked off one by one!
Gilgamesh, with a slight squint, commented, "I see... on that fist, huh?"
With that, two golden vortexes appeared in front of Gilgamesh, and two Noble Phantasms shot towards DIO's feet! Both were A-ranked Noble Phantasms—
Bang bang—
DIO's body shifted slightly forward, and the two attacks completely made the Noble Phantasms disappear.
"I see, so as long as his fist touches something, changes occur?"
What else has he done so far?
Healed injuries... eradicated Noble Phantasms... erased magecraft... and even killed Berserker...
"What ability is this?" Gilgamesh calmly analyzed. At that moment, a sudden flash of lightning struck, sending DIO flying from beside him!
"Oh, I almost forgot about spatial displacement, didn't I?"
Gilgamesh stood up from Vimana's throne, "But that's not enough! Trying to assassinate me with this? There should be limits to arrogance."
Boom boom boom—
"No... that's not right." DIO, descending, squinted slightly, "You've been hit for sure."
"Wha—?"
Boom—!
Vimana, floating in mid-air, exploded!
"Deal with one first!" DIO sneered, "Let's deal with the most troublesome one first... next is you! Or rather, you—"
"What—?" Siegfried fired a Noble Phantasm directly at himself.
Without turning back, he already sensed it and felt a chilling sensation from behind—
"No escape for you... your end is near—"
"Siegfried—"
Siegfried's master Rito, watching from a distance, clenched his fists... although he managed to cast the Command Spell for forced transfer just now, the speed of the command spell was still slightly slower.
Siegfried... exited the stage.
Just hit by DIO's fist!
"Hmm?"
DIO turned around, furrowing his brow, "Can't you just die quietly? Still alive, Gilgamesh?"
"You mongrel..." Gilgamesh squinted slightly, blood staining his body. His bare upper body, covered in a network of red lines, uttered disdain, "Don't get too arrogant, mongrel!"
"Oh..." DIO half-raised his head, saying, "I'm already bored. This battle is becoming quite dull."
Saying so, he sat down: "Let them come and fight you—"
"What's this—?" Healed Arash, looking at the several individuals covered in an unusual aura that appeared in front of DIO, widened his eyes.
"Siegfried, Lu Bu, Gilles de Rais, Hassan of Serenity, Assassin... all the Servants who exited the stage so far?"
"Hmph, don't forget who currently possesses the Holy Grail." DIO sneered, "Bestowing them with physical bodies again isn't that difficult, is it? However... it might be slightly different from what you know."
"Roar—!!" Lu Bu roared, charging directly at Barthomeloi Lorelei...
Chains obstructed his movements, but they were quickly destroyed.
"Attack! Kill them."
"Yes! Lord DIO!" The Servants, devoid of any divine aura in their eyes, spoke.
But...
Vroom—
Just at that moment, a car drifted in!
DIO looked at the approaching car with a slight squint.
"How long, Alucard." Kazuya opened the car door.
"Twelve minutes and thirty-six seconds—My Master."
"A bit slower than expected." Kazuya said, observing the island around them. This Zamalek Island, where the Cairo Tower stands, had now turned into ruins.
"Alucard... I was wondering why you hadn't shown up yet. So, you just arrived?"
DIO looked at him, sneering, "But now, it doesn't matter who shows up! I, DIO, am truly invincible now!"
"So... leave this to me." Alucard pulled out a gun, grinning, "Let me show him what a true monster is."
"No... I'll handle it this time." Kazuya said, "As you said, the ones who always defeat monsters are humans, right?"
"Hmph, I understand. Then I'll leave it to you, My Master." Alucard stepped back two paces, putting away his gun.
"???" DIO, Barthomeloi Lorelei, Servants, and everyone felt unsure of what they were listening to.
"Hmm... so that trick still works, huh..." Gilgamesh smile know what is coming.
"What did you say?" DIO squinted at Kazuya, "You're coming? Just relying on you, magus?"
"Who knows... magus? The one facing you is not a magus or anything else—" Kazuya said, with a slight change in his tone. As his words progressed, the light gradually covered DIO's vision.
When he reappeared...
It was a man wearing a school uniform.
"It's me! DIO! Yare yare, this time I'll definitely erase you completely!"
"Kujo... Jotaro!!"
