The scales of victory were like a seesaw with naughty children sitting on both ends; the situation could reverse at any moment.
This was something every Stand User should understand.
As a formidable man who had honed his claws and fangs in the darkness, Bucciarati had never let down his guard in battle.
Yet even he could not imagine why Li Qing still had the confidence to claim he could turn things around.
"My arms and legs have been removed, I can't move, and my health bar is practically wrecked."

He racked his brains, trying to deduce the means Li Qing might use to counterattack. In the end, though, all he could do was endure the endless torment born of the unknown during that seemingly frozen stretch of time.

It was an arm.
An arm hanging from a roadside tree several meters behind him, its fist aimed directly at Bucciarati's body.
"Haha."
"You understand now?"
