'What, what!this is……'

Dio stared at the scene in front of him in bewilderment.

What catches the eye is countless lines.

"Not only Nero is flying in the sky, but even Kakyoin has pulled a "string" under his feet to step on it to move!

"These spider "threads" criss-crossing in front of Nero and Kakyoin are the tentacle derivatives of the Green Emperor.And the brilliance shining above those tentacles is unmistakably the brilliance of "Ripple".

"This is the enchantment of the Green Emperor.

"And Nero actually poured his ripple energy directly into the body of the Green Pope, making these tentacles untouchable like high-voltage wires! As they moved, these tentacles also followed them. Move. The enchantment of the green emperor has become a real——

"—Mobile Fortress!"

trouble.

Very troublesome.

Dior roughly estimated the distance, and the Kakyoin in front is undoubtedly within the range, but with the protection of the green emperor's enchantment, the world cannot reach the opponent's body at all!

"Tch, damn Ripple!

"If this continues, the sneak attack plan hidden on the ceiling will be useless. The barrier of the green emperor can be said to have no dead angle defense, if this is the case..."

Dio jumped down from the ceiling and came to the corner, right in front of Nero and Kakyoin's line of sight.

Then--

Dio carefully checked his surroundings.

"Fine, there's nothing gliding around a corner line, trying to surprise me with a ripple cutter or other fancy moves.

"In that case—"

Dio put his hands on his hips and raised his head proudly.

Shi Shi Yoyo stood sideways beside Dio, posing in a rather fit posture.

"Time begins to flow again."

"Dior --!!!"

Testimonials

It's time for the book to hit the shelves.

To be honest, I really don't know what to say in the testimonial, but since there is a testimonial according to the tradition, I will talk about the content of this book.

First is the main character.

At the beginning, I wanted to write about Dior's son, but the problem is... there are a lot of people who write like this in Shuke, and I don't know if there is any curse. The only novel I chase after basically about Dior's cub is "The Best The Villain is alive and well, and that's all.It was my turn to write and wanted to ask for a change. I looked for a suitable JOJO in the name list and couldn't find a name I liked. Finally, I slapped my thigh - Qi Beilin.

The grandfather's name is Caesar, and the grandson's name is Nero.

And so came Nero Zeppelin.

Then there is the protagonist's stand-in ability.

When conceiving the stand-in, I really wanted to write a protagonist like Sephiroth.I don’t know how many people have played FF7 or watched the movie. It’s the part where Sephiroth lifts a building and smashes it on Cloud. At that time, I thought this part was very cool, and then I was going to conceive a similar ability. of.

Of course, I thought of the Golden Lion Shiji on the One Piece studio next door.

Although the Golden Lion and Sephiroth both use knives, the problem is that writing a protagonist who plays too much katana in 2021 always feels... a bit aesthetically fatigued.So I cut off the knife part, and I sank Anubis, which was originally planned for Nero, into the Suez Canal, leaving only the ability of a fluttering fruit for Nero.

If you don't hit the island, you won't be able to hit it, so don't think too much about it.

Then there's the Ripple skill of the main character.

In the next few chapters, you may see some ripple skills achieved with the ability of the Stairway to Heaven, which are still very unscientific, but they are more or less sourced from the original work, such as the refraction of light, Wamu and Gero Zeppelin I've done both, and it shouldn't be a problem for Nero to achieve a similar effect with Ripple and his stand-in ability.

I even want Nero to find a chance to turn the corrugated knife and realize the skill of turning by accident, but it seems that Nero seems to be a bit strong at present, so I blocked the turning before it came out. Wait until JO7 sees you Let’s unblock Jia Yile again—yes, this book is planned to be written from JO3 to JO7.

Maybe you can write a million words?It seems a bit difficult.

However, reading book reviews and postings, your reading experience seems to be good, and I will continue to write at this pace in the future.You can finish as many thousands of characters as you want. Mr. Araki told us a truth, the story must be finished when it should be finished, so that a good story can be written.

I haven't written a testimonial, and the writing is a bit messy, please bear with me.

Chapter 59

What met the eyes of Nero and Kakyoin was a vampire standing proudly at the corner with his head held high.

Dio crossed his hips and remained motionless, but turned his head to the other side as if deliberately not to look at the two of them, and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Hmph ha ha ha ha ha ha, we meet again, Nero Zeppelin."

"You are very energetic, Dio. It seems that your injury is almost recovered?"

"A little bit."

It was obviously a reunion of mortal enemies, but at this moment the vampire and the Ripple messenger greeted each other as if they were chatting.

Dio grabbed his collar with his right hand.

The next moment, Dior tugged on the collar like a pole in the "Yakuza" set. The top and red cape fluttered in the wind, and fell leisurely to the ground, revealing the "scarred" upper body of the vampire.

That's a rippled burn.

Dio generously showed his scarred body to the mortal enemy in front of him, and said arrogantly: "It's still close, the ripple injury you caused that day will be completely recovered! Use the blood of you and Kakyoin to fumigate my wound Disinfect it."

Nero frowned: "In order to heal Ripple's burn, how many people's blood did you drink?"

Dior was even more arrogant.

"A hundred years ago, your four generations ago William Zeppelin asked me the same question, and the answer remains the same today—

"—do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten so far?"

The moment Dior's voice fell.

The rhythmic sound of breathing came from Nero's mouth, echoing in the aisle.

And Nero's right hand lightly pressed on the shoulder of the "Green Pope", the ripples of brilliance bloomed on the body of the Green Pope, and along the extended tentacles, he swam like a galloping electric current. The front end of the enchantment.

"—Emerald Ripple Sprint!!!"

The brilliance of the sun bloomed in the emeralds splashed like shotgun bullets.

If it was an ordinary emerald splash, Dior didn't even need the world to do it. He only needed to flick his fingers to block that weak attack.But he didn't dare to touch the emerald water splash with ripples lingering in front of him, he had no choice but to stop time.

"--world."

Rumble!

Emerald ripples sprinted and bombed on the wall of the freighter, blasting the wall into pits and pits.The faintly blasted small hole can even see the scene in the room on the other side of the wall.

As for Dior, he has already reached the aisle at the other end of the corner.

And just as the author of a detective novel is obliged to tell readers all the clues, what must be mentioned here is that at this moment, Dior, blocked by the corner structure, temporarily lost the vision of Nero and Kakyoin.

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless!

"Infusing ripples into the liquid-filled green Pharaoh's body to attack is indeed a brand-new attack method, both "speed" and "power" are impeccable, but no matter how many times I have to say it!Useless!

"As long as you can't hit it, it's meaningless!"

The voice fell.

Dio took out "thirteen" table knives from his pocket and held them in his palm.

But just when Dio was about to teach Nero and Kakyoin a lesson with the flying knife in his hand at the moment when Nero and Kakyoin appeared at the corner, Dio suddenly noticed a change in the air.

"……wind?"

Dio was puzzled.

Dio holds the knife in his right hand, and stretches out his left hand to feel the wind in the air.

"From the perspective of the wind direction, this is not the gust of wind caused by the shock wave of the emerald spray bombardment, but another wind.

"Where does this wind come from?"

With such doubts, when Nero and Kakyoin appeared at the corner and appeared in Dio's field of vision again, Dio found that there were a few more things around Nero and Kakyoin surrounded by the green emperor's enchantment.

Corrugated cutter.

In an instant, Dio also understood the source of the wind.

"Hey, corrugated cutter?

"I see, these corrugated knives that "turn" like a turbine engine, are you the way to crack my throwing knives, Nero Zeppelin.

"Although the enchantment of the green emperor can't let me get close, there are countless "gaps" in these silk threads that allow me to launch a long-distance linear attack on you.The light travels along a straight line. Since I can see your eyes, it proves that there is indeed a route that can directly attack your heads.

"But now, those gaps are intercepted by your corrugated cutter.

"Even if I attack you with flying knives in a world where time stops, your corrugated knives can provide you with defense!"

Dio fully understood.

The faces of Nero and Kakyoin, as well as other vital parts of the body, are completely covered by the "silk threads" and "cutters" at this moment. Dio, who keeps his head upright, can barely see some outlines of the body.

Not only that.

Nero flies "curled up".

Even Kakyoin simply used the tentacles of the "Green Emperor" to hang himself up horizontally, hanging between the barriers like lying on a "hammock", and greatly reduced the size of the body in this narrow walk. The attack range exposed to throwing knives.

Under such circumstances, even throwing knives at these "outlines" would not cause any effective injuries at all, at most some skin traumas.

After all, the first lesson to learn as a qualified stand-in messenger is to endure pain.

"I'm so sorry, Dio."

Although Nero said apologetic words, Dior's ears were full of ridicule.

Just listen to Nero continue.

"If Jotaro was here, he would probably compete with you in strength and speed like a cowboy in the west, right? But we can't do it. If we can't do it, we can't do it, even if we kill us.

"Although I can't compete with you, Kakyoin and I, who can't move in your time-stopped world, have something we can do——

"--intelligence.

"I'll send you to hell with our brains, with human 'scheming', Dio! "

"Hey, do you want to challenge my brain power with Dio?"

Dio opened his arms and made a gesture of welcoming Nero and Kakyoin.

Then--

Time paused.

"...Well, let me see."

Dio cautiously approached the edge of the green Emperor's enchantment, and looked in through the gap, like a child peeking at his mother taking a bath through the key.

Couldn't find a suitable angle for throwing the throwing knife.

Then Dio nodded thoughtfully, turned around, and ran towards the second half of the corridor without saying a word.

After pulling away the distance, Dio resumed his extremely arrogant posture.

"Time flows again."

In the blink of an eye.

Dio had retreated to the back half of the corridor.
