Angelo's Death

"Come on! Say one more word!"

"As long as you say one more word, my Silver Water Chain can enter your body!"

"Then that body of yours will be mine... Hahahaha!"

As if Lu Lu had truly heard his thoughts, his lips moved slightly, looking like he was about to speak.

Angelo, spying from the distant woods, had already revealed a cruel smile.

However, the sentence—or rather, the word—Lu Lu spoke was beyond his expectations.

"Star Platinum!!!"

"ORA!"

Star Platinum's solid arm lashed out at high speed, its movements completely invisible to the naked eye.

Angelo in the distance seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. His head spun, and his whole body toppled stiffly to the ground.

"What?!!"

"What was that just now? My Silver Water Chain was attacked!"

"That brat is a Stand user! Damn it! I have to call Silver Water Chain back!"

But no matter how he summoned Silver Water Chain, it did not return, as though something had restrained it.

Silver Water Chain's vision was completely dark, and Angelo could see nothing.

Still, he could feel something soft against it.

"I see... So that's how it is..."

"You wrapped Silver Water Chain in that thick black coat of yours?"

"Hahahaha... It's useless. Eventually, the rain will soak through your coat, and then my Silver Water Chain will be able to escape!"

As he spoke, he felt his vision spin again.

He was right. Lu Lu had indeed had Star Platinum tear off a sleeve from the technical college uniform and use it to wrap up Silver Water Chain.

But as for waiting for the rain to soak through it, Angelo probably would not live long enough.

At Lu Lu's request, the technical college uniform had been specially made with a waterproof design.

If Angelo wanted rainwater to soak through that nanometer-grade waterproof material, he could wait until his next life!

Lu Lu gripped Silver Water Chain in his hand and shook it harder. Faintly, he heard a soft cry of pain coming from the distant woods.

"Good grief... Found you... Angelo."

Lu Lu walked step by step toward the woods where Angelo was hiding.

It was as if he could already hear the thrilling sound of electric guitar and bass playing beside his ears.

"Yo... You're Angelo, huh!"

By the time Lu Lu reached Angelo, he was already lying face-up in the muddy water, completely drained of strength.

The ground around him was covered in signs of his thrashing and struggling.

"ORA! ORA! ORA!"

Star Platinum once again spun the sleeve wrapped around Silver Water Chain wildly in its hand.

Angelo, who had been lying on the ground before Lu Lu, was flung into the air out of nowhere. He spun several times before crashing down face-first.

The intense pain woke him up again.

Using both hands and feet, he crawled backward in an attempt to put distance between himself and Lu Lu, while tremblingly pointing at him.

"You... What do you want?"

"Even if I killed a few people in this town, you have no right to deal with me!"

"You can't kill me. Only the law here can punish me."

"Otherwise, you'll become someone like me! You'll become a murderer!"

The only response he received was a fierce punch from Star Platinum.

The punch landed squarely on his face, shattering half his teeth.

The intense pain made him pass out for an instant before waking him up again.

"You bastard, listen carefully. I'll only say this once!"

"Where is the person who gave you this Stand ability?"

As he spoke, Star Platinum behind Lu Lu raised its fist again.

"H-He's gone! Mr. Diavolo left two days ago!"

So it really was that guy... Diavolo!

He had actually left this place two days ago. This had become a serious problem.

"Then how did you awaken this Stand ability?"

Lu Lu continued questioning him.

Compared to Diavolo's whereabouts, this question was far more important.

If the Requiem Arrow had also appeared in this world...

"I... I don't know either. I just suddenly gained this ability five days ago. And Mr. Diavolo did too!"

Five days ago...

The information from earlier had also said that the first corpse had been discovered five days ago.

So they had not awakened because of the Requiem Arrow's power. They had awakened suddenly.

Wait!

Wasn't five days ago when he himself had awakened Star Platinum?!

That night, his fever had just broken. When he had gotten up to pour himself a glass of water, Star Platinum had suddenly appeared and placed the water before him.

So he, Angelo, and Diavolo had all awakened five days ago.

No, there was one more person!

"What about Yoshikage Kira?"

Angelo was clearly stunned when he heard that name.

"Yoshikage Kira? Never heard of him... Is he also an ability user from Morioh?"
