Chapter 37: [37] Joestar
Flames—
At some point, Jonathan had made his way upstairs, ignited the heavy curtains, and vigorously swung them towards DIO, enveloping him entirely!
"Wryyyyyyyyyyy——————"
When DIO came to his senses, the curtains had already fallen on him, covering him, and the flames had ignited upon him.
"Damn you, JOJO—!"
The flames burned on him, and his regeneration had already reached its limit. He had only absorbed one person's blood, and healing the wounds on his body had already pushed his regeneration to its limit. After all, Kazuya had emptied his gun at him, and other police officers had also fired several shots.
The pressure on his regeneration was much greater now.
He needed to absorb more blood to recover!
With a sudden burst of strength, DIO shook off the curtains, along with his burning clothes, even before he could say anything.
Half of a longsword flew from Kazuya's hand—stabbing through his body.
"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDAAA—!" DIO roared, "Such an attack doesn't hurt me at all—regeneration? This is just fine!"
"What... what? He's charging at me?" Speedwagon's face turned pale as he struggled to sit up.
"Farewell! Surrender your life to me!" DIO said grimly, excitement evident in his tone.
"Speedwagon!!" JOJO shouted, but he was too late.
He was on the second floor, and even if he jumped down directly, he couldn't catch up to DIO's speed. He could only watch as DIO plunged his arm into Speedwagon's chest—
Splurt!
"How... how is this possible?"
Splash, splash, splash...
"This... this is... my blood, my life... disappearing? Being gradually absorbed by DIO, by this monster! I'm going to... die, I'm going to die—" Even in this situation, Speedwagon, dedicated to his commentary profession, extended his withered hand toward JOJO and said, "J... JOJO... run quickly. This kind of monster is not something you can—"
Bam!
Just then, a bullet hit DIO's arm, causing him to release Speedwagon!
"Dio..." Sir Joestar, standing upstairs with a cane in one hand and a smoking pistol in the other, watched the man whose injuries were constantly healing, turning into a monster, his eyes twitching as he shed a tear.
"I gave you a chance already—heehee... Dad, no... Joestar, I gave you a chance to escape, but now you've come back, what a waste, you've wasted your last chance."
"Dad—" JOJO ran to Speedwagon's side, his eyes filled with emotion. "Dad, why did you come down?"
"JOJO... I'm sorry, it's all my fault... run, JOJO, take your friends with you!"
"Dad, are you—?"
"What are you planning? Joestar... but it doesn't matter anymore. Originally, my goal was just your inheritance, but now it's different! I have the power! Hahaha... with such perfect power, I'm immortal! I'm eternal! Haha... hahaha, with this kind of power, I'm not satisfied with just inheriting your estate anymore... I want to obtain the whole world!"
"So, I'm going to bury you here. Dio... my son, this is my final mistake."
"What... what? What is this?" DIO's expression changed, and the ground began to tremble.
The Joestar lineage—
Is a noble family in England with a long history.
Naturally... even though the Joestars were gentlemen, they had—means to deal with external threats.
The ground was collapsing.
"What—? This is..."
Kazuya's face changed.
Even he, the person who created the manga "JOJO" in this world, didn't know about this. The floor collapsed around DIO as the boundary, descending downward.
The Joestar family had something like this—
"JOJO—run quickly!"
"Dad, what about you?"
Seeing the floor collapse approaching him, JOJO quickly asked.
"It's okay..." Sir Joestar smiled. "After all, this is the ancestral mansion of the Joestar family, which has been lost because of me. So... I have no reason to leave like this."
"Dad—"
"Run, JOJO... and Mr. Jerry, I entrust JOJO to you."
"Ah, I understand." Kazuya's eyes flickered slightly as he said...
Could it be that DIO really died this time?
With this thought in mind, he had just run out of the courtyard and heard the furious roar from inside.
"Damn you, Joestar—!!!"
DIO roared and even ran up!
Using the descending floor as a springboard, he accomplished something that was impossible for a human and continued to leap upwards. "But to kill me, DIO, you're just a little short! I, DIO, am immortal!"
"No... it's over, Dio... it's all over—"
Boom!
Fierce flames ignited. Starting from the top, they engulfed Sir Joestar and DIO together in the Joestar ancestral mansion.
"No... impossible—this, impossible, I, DIO... I, DIO... shouldn't be like this!"
"This way is also fine... anyway, you are my son, Dio," Sir Joestar looked at the man who had destroyed almost everything he had, his eyes as accepting as ever. "If I had been stricter with you earlier, like with JOJO, maybe it wouldn't have come to this... I'm sorry. This way is also fine... JOJO... I'm sorry, you have to survive, JOJO."
"Damn you, Joestar—!!!"
DIO, roaring, was engulfed in the sea of flames. Just as he had leaped up, he was once again submerged in the sea of flames.
"Dad—!!!"
Jonathan Joestar cried out in grief.
But—the story didn't end there, because... even though Joestar sacrificed his own life, he hadn't killed DIO!
That vampire—
Was still alive!
"Huff, huff..." Breathing heavily, looking at the flames in front of him, Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he had come back to life.
In that case, he should consider himself involved... Next, he would wait for Zeppeli to arrive and then learn the Ripple.
"Uwaaa—"
"JOJO—be careful!" Suddenly, Kazuya's expression changed.
Speedwagon had actually turned into an undead, a minion of the vampire, and was about to bite into Joestar!
