If the characteristic of magical equipment is its growth potential, then the characteristic of Impact Steel is that the stronger the host, the stronger its effect!

Qin Mo looked at the mansion not far away, then at this piece of equipment and the Ox Talisman in his equipment slots. He understood the significance of this equipment appearing here.

"Qin Mo, what's this for?"

Unlike Qin Mo, who could instantly know the effects of equipment just by looking at it, others could only see its appearance and name at best.

"This is a good thing, a weapon of sorts. I'll show you how it works later."

Qin Mo didn't explain in detail. He placed Gilgamesh into his equipment slots, then opened the remaining ten purple items. He got eleven items from the ten draws, which wasn't bad.

Nika Mask, Stone Mask, Azure Rose, Dance of Fine Snow, Holy Blessing Potion * 10, Pig Talisman, Rat Talisman, Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Grass-Cutting Sword, Executioner's Blade.

The items weren't outstanding, but they weren't useless either.

Qin Mo was initially happy when he saw the Nika Mask, but after reading the description that the user's inner darkness would be released upon wearing it, he decided to put it away in the cold palace.

This thing couldn't be removed after equipping it; it could only be taken off through special means.

The Stone Mask was even less worth mentioning.

The few weapons that appeared were only average. The Grass-Cutting Sword was not the mythical one, but like the Executioner's Blade, it came from the Naruto world, possessing only the characteristic of being sturdy and sharp.

However, the Holy Blessing Potion was quite useful.

"You two drink this. It can protect you when you're in danger."

The effect of the Holy Blessing Potion was simple: upon receiving fatal damage, the user would enter a state of suspended animation and slowly recover from injuries. It was different from in games, but it was still a life-saving measure.

Its greatest advantage was that it had no duration!

Drinking one bottle made it permanently effective until triggered!

Chapter 33: Demolition

After waiting at the spot for a while, Joseph and his group also arrived.

"I didn't expect... we'd actually find it."

Joseph adjusted the hat on his head and looked at the mansion before him. "Our journey is finally coming to an end."

Everyone stood on the street, gazing at Dio's mansion, a building that netizens in his past life had jokingly nicknamed the "Dio Demon Mansion."

"Let's go!"

Star Platinum appeared and punched open the gate of the mansion's outer wall with a single blow.

As soon as they stepped into the mansion's courtyard, everyone could feel a malice like profound darkness washing over them.

"I remember there should be D'Arby's brother inside, an illusion Stand, and a terrifying enemy like Ozone Jackers here."

There was actually another idiot, but that person had no combat power, so everyone else completely ignored them. Qin Mo didn't say anything about it either.

"It's daytime now, why don't we have Avdol set it on fire to force them out?"

Joseph looked at the current time. It was still morning, not the time when vampires could move freely.

"No need, leave this to me."

Qin Mo stepped forward.

Seeing Qin Mo volunteer, the others didn't refuse. Although they didn't know what method he would use, Qin Mo had never disappointed them.

Taking a deep breath, a light erupted from his body. When the light faded, Qin Mo was covered in a silver-white armor with dark red patterns like flowing blood all over it.

"Wow, so cool!"

Hearing the exclamations from behind him, Qin Mo realized that the Impact Steel - Gilgamesh on his body was different from the game. In the game, it was only a mask that covered the lower half of his face, gauntlets, and greaves.

But the armor Qin Mo wore was a full-body suit.

"Is this what they call changing according to the user's will?"

The composition of the gauntlets and greaves was most suitable for Dante, but for Qin Mo, the most suitable form was this full-body armor. Qin Mo also preferred this cool, transformation-like feeling.

Equipment Slot Configuration: Dog Talisman, Ox Talisman, Impact Steel - Gilgamesh.

Looking at this combination, Qin Mo walked to the wall of the main building of the mansion, assumed a horse stance, and clenched his fist.

Sensing Qin Mo's will, the saw blades on Gilgamesh's arm guards began to spin wildly, helping Qin Mo build up power.

As the saw blades spun faster and faster, even those standing far away could feel the terrifying power accumulating around Qin Mo.

"Wow, the power on Qin Mo feels more and more terrifying."

Polnareff's eyes widened. He could feel that if this punch hit him, it would probably blow him up.

"En, the effect of this armor should be able to charge up. Qin Mo is probably preparing to destroy the mansion with one punch. I just don't know how much he can charge it."

Avdol observed and nodded.

"Since Qin Mo is so confident, it should be fine. However, I don't think it's just the charging ability."

Kakyoin Noriaki also said with a smile, "It also feels a bit like Kamen Rider."

As people born in the Far East, Kakyoin and Jotaro were naturally familiar with such tokusatsu shows.

Although Kiana didn't participate in the discussion, she was already thinking about how to borrow this cool armor from Qin Mo to play with later.

As the few people discussed, Qin Mo felt that the armor on his body had reached its limit.

The moment he threw a punch, Diver Down flashed across Qin Mo's body.

"Boom!"

A large hole was blasted through the mansion's wall, but it wasn't completely penetrated.

However, in the next instant, countless cracks radiated from the edges of the crater, quickly covering the entire surface of the mansion.

One punch was not the end, but just the beginning.

The second punch, third punch, and fourth punch followed closely.

There was no technique, purely relying on brute force, combined with Diver Down's ability, Qin Mo radiated the power sufficient to break through the wall into the entire building.

"Ha!"

After an unknown number of punches, with the last one landing, Qin Mo finally broke through the wall in front of him. As this section of the wall was breached, the cracks that spread throughout the mansion instantly erupted with immense impact.

Inside the mansion...

Dio Brando lay on the bed at the top of the tower. Jonathan's body gave him the Joestar bloodline.

As one of the more special bloodlines in this world, just like Joseph and the others, Dio could feel the Joestar bloodline approaching his mansion purely through his lineage.

"They've arrived..."

The only ones who would approach now with the Joestar bloodline were those he knew.

"Vanilla..."

A low voice echoed in the room, and a figure immediately pushed open the door and entered the pitch-black room.

Vanilla Ice knelt on one knee, "Lord Dio!"

"The Joestar group has arrived outside the gate."

"Yes, D'Arby has gone to meet them and will surely hold the Joestar group outside the gate."

In the darkness, Dio sat up and touched the scar on his neck. Just as he was about to say something, a huge tremor suddenly struck.

"What happened!"

Cracks quickly spread throughout the building with the sound of the tremor, and even the walls of this internal room were instantly covered in cracks.

Dio's pupils constricted: "Vanilla! Clear the way!"

"Yes, Lord Dio!"

Meanwhile, D'Arby downstairs was leisurely strolling through the mansion: "Haven't they come in yet? Are they scared?"

As the butler, Terence T. D'Arby considered himself a perfect butler, and he had full confidence in himself. After all, he didn't rely on brute force to fight. Just as he was about to go to the entrance to greet the enemies who he believed wouldn't dare to enter, Boom!

"What's going on!?"

D'Arby looked at the surrounding cracks and realized something.

But before he could make any effective response, the surrounding building collapsed with a roar. Even a Stand user's main body was just an ordinary person, let alone his Stand, which wasn't one with strong destructive power.

Qin Mo outside let out a sigh of relief, looking at his masterpiece in front of him.

The mansion, covering hundreds of square meters, was reduced to ruins by a few punches. He checked the System.

The Crystals had reached 200, meaning he had defeated three Stand users.

If it was as he remembered, there should have been five Stand users in Dio's mansion, including himself.

This meant that Qin Mo naturally hadn't planned to defeat Dio in one go, and there was still one person left undefeated.

It must be Ozone Jackers...

As Dio's loyal follower, and the strongest being in the mansion besides Dio, no, in a sense, he was even stronger than Dio.

Chapter 34: The Insect Arrows Existing in the Ruins

"Everyone be careful, Dio and Ozone Jackers should be fine."

The mansion had completely turned into ruins. Just as Qin Mo finished speaking, an explosion erupted from the ruins.

"Who's ambushing... Ahhhhhh!!!"

His fierce words were cut short as direct sunlight turned him to ash.

"Hey, hey, that, that should be a vampire, right? To actually turn to ash just from being exposed to the sun."

Polnareff, who had just summoned Silver Chariot and was ready to attack, was stunned.

"So, Polpo, you have to remember when fighting Dio, don't just stab, because that won't kill him."

Polnareff's swordsmanship was exquisite, but most of Western swordsmanship relied on thrusts. While deadly to humans, it was as if it didn't even tickle vampires.

"Alright, everyone search the ruins carefully. It's daytime now, Dio can't act under the sun."

Joseph shouted, then began using Hermit Purple to bind a large chunk of rubble and push it aside.

Just as Qin Mo was about to help with the search, Kiana suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Qin Mo, Qin Mo, can I borrow that cool armor of yours to play with?"

Kiana's large, watery blue eyes were filled with anticipation.

The armor formed from Impact Steel receded from Qin Mo's body and gathered into a ball of light in his hand.

"Here, absorb it into your body. You can wear it with your will, and it can transform into any form you imagine."

Qin Mo wasn't stingy with these items. For him, a single Dog Talisman was enough to save his life, but both Mei and Kiana were still in danger.

This was especially true for Kiana, who had previously erupted into her Herrscher form when encountering danger.

Kiana, unaware of Qin Mo's concern, happily absorbed the ball of light into her body. An armor similar to Qin Mo's previous form appeared on her.

Clearly, she hadn't taken his advice on how to use it to heart.

"Yaho!"

With her new toy, Kiana excitedly ran off to explore the ruins with the others.

"Qin Mo... Kiana, is she okay?"

While Kiana hadn't noticed Qin Mo's hidden emotions, the slender and sensitive Mei had.

"She's fine."

Qin Mo shook his head, but seeing Mei's barely concealed worry, he sighed, "I'll explain when I have the chance. For now, she's okay."

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Mei's expression improved slightly. It seemed it wasn't a serious problem that would happen immediately.

Mei couldn't fathom that there was another Herrscher right beside her. Herrschers were so rare, and to have two in such a small place, becoming friends—it seemed impossible.

"Everyone! I found it!"

Avdol's voice echoed over at that moment. The group rushed over and saw a giant circular pit. At the bottom... it was bottomless.
