Chapter 251: [251] Vampires and Vampires
Paused—
DIO's face gradually turned ugly, "Can't... can't move!"
DIO's hand stopped not far from Martha. It couldn't move at all!
His body seemed to have stiffened, completely unable to move—
Clang—
The next moment, he stepped back two steps.
Moving his body...
He could move, but why?
Once again, Dio punched Martha's abdomen, hitting her!
The next moment, he forcefully punched Martha's stomach again, but—stopped again!
"This... indeed... even though I don't know why, I can hit her, but I can't kill her? Tsk... time is up."
Dio Brando stepped back a few steps, "Time begins to flow—"
"Ugh—" Martha stepped back, rubbing her slim belly, "You just stopped time, right?"
"Just now... indeed..."
"Huh... I'm almost satisfied with exchanging blows with you twice." Martha said, "So let's end it like this—suicide! Rider!"
Buzz—
As Martha spoke, a faint red light flashed by.
Splat—
The next moment,
The fist of The World pierced through Dio's chest.
"This... this is—what in the world... wow—"
"Spell." Martha said, "I am Ruler, and I have the authority to command every Servant. But... if it weren't for the revelation of the God this time, I wouldn't have thought of using this spell at all. So, when I was watching you, I secretly cast the spell—'You cannot kill me.' After all... I still wanted to try a fistfight with you. But it's difficult when you could stop time at any moment, so I used the spell first."
"Heh... hahaha—"
"Hmm?"
"It seems that the so-called spell is effective, too. Even though my heart has been crushed, I'm far from death! Even if only my head is left, I can survive! And—Barnes!"
Dio shouted, and the last remaining subordinate, Isaac Barnes, knelt before Dio, taking out his own heart.
"Please, Lord Dio."
"Of course—" Dio placed the heart into the gap in his chest. He inserted a hand into Isaac Barnes' neck, absorbing a large amount of blood.
Before Martha could react, Isaac Barnes had already fallen to the ground—
The wound on Dio's chest had completely healed!
If not for the torn clothes on his chest, it would seem as if he hadn't been harmed at all, "MUDA MUDA! Did you think you could kill me, Dio, like this? Too naive!"
"You—"
"Hmph!" Dio sneered, looking into the distance, "It seems that you are well-prepared too, but it ends here! It seems that the other Heroic Spirits are about to arrive... Goodbye."
Dio narrowed his eyes slightly, "Wait for me... until I ascend to heaven."
Boom—
The next moment, Dio suddenly disappeared.
"Stopped time... did he escape?" Martha breathed out slightly, feeling the peculiar sensation...
She almost died just now. Even with the spells she used, there would be no use if Dio had been able to use the two remaining spells at any time.
"However... with this, the last remaining dead apostle by Dio's side should also—"
She said, her face changing, "Where's the body?"
...
Dio had evaded countless pursuits from various Servants.
Due to the restraint of avoiding combat, he hadn't killed a single one. After all, not only Servants, but even those magus and executors were not easy to deal with. Killing them wasn't as simple as it seemed...
One carelessness could lead to his demise.
Even so, his Master had already used two spells.
One command spell remained!
Time... three hours left—
15:26
Swoosh—
Dio walked under the dark sky. Isaac Barnes, who should have died, was following not far behind.
Undying!
As an advanced Dead Apostle, Isaac Barnes possessed powerful immortality. To kill him, he needed to be killed nine times.
And now, he had died four times already, not because of anything else, but to help Dio heal.
The blood of the Dead Apostle contained more potent energy than human blood, and absorbing such blood improved the healing effect.
Injured during a battle? Just kill Isaac Barnes once.
This way, Dio could utilize his blood to fully recover.
"Whew..." Dio sighed deeply. After adapting for some time, he had almost figured out that Ruler was likely checking his whereabouts...
Continued movement could reduce the chance of an encounter.
"Alright, Barnes... you go away first. The two of us will go ahead. Your ability is not useful in battle and will only drag me down."
"I understand, Lord Dio." Isaac Barnes nodded, "Then, I'll wait for you at the next base—"
Dio nodded and started walking alone.
Not long after, gunshots suddenly came from behind—
Bang—
The collision between The World's fist and the incoming powerful bullets!
Dio turned slowly, "Oh... I thought who it was. Isn't this Alucard? What? Even a monster like you is ready to attack me?"
While saying this, Dio looked around, considering the best place to escape.
Alucard, definitely one of the Servants he least wanted to face. The powerful immortality determined the fact that he couldn't kill Alucard... even if he stopped time or shattered his head, crushed his heart, it would be of no use.
So, let's run; there was no other choice—
However...
Before that, there was one more thing Dio had to do. Since the person in front of him was Alucard...
There were some things worth trying.
Dio thought and said, "Hey... Akado, are you looking forward to death?"
