"Everyone, DIO's over here!"
Atop the clock tower, Kakyoin narrowed his eyes, locking onto the bedraggled DIO in the distant alley!
Hierophant Green appeared at a point within the Hierophant Barrier spread across the sky. It brought its hands together before its chest, and tremendous energy erupted like surging waves!
"Full power output! Super Riptide: Emerald Splash!"
Boom-
A thick torrent of emeralds with astonishing force blasted forth like a Kamehameha, aimed straight at the alley where DIO stood!
If the earlier Emerald Splash was the introductory Water-type Pokémon move Water Gun, with a power of 40, then the current Super Riptide: Emerald Splash was the powerful Water-type move Hydro Pump, with a power of 110!!
At this moment, Kakyoin's physique and mind were both rapidly improving under the nourishment of the Potential Seed. The increase in Psychic Power strengthened his Stand across the board, allowing him to easily develop an ultimate attack far more powerful than before!
"Damn it! Has that brat Kakyoin actually gotten stronger after escaping the Flesh Bud's control!?"
In just a few breaths, DIO's severed arm had completely stopped bleeding. His bones had even lengthened and his flesh knitted together, regrowing the beginnings of a hand.
This offered a glimpse of a vampire's monstrous vitality!
But he was still missing an arm, after all, and had not recovered to his best condition!
Faced with Noriaki Kakyoin's tremendous attack, DIO did not choose to activate his stamina-consuming time-stop ability. Instead, he pushed off with his feet and fled straight into the darkness!
Kaboom!!
The alley's ground instantly collapsed beneath the emerald torrent carrying enormous kinetic energy. A buried water pipe burst, sending a fountain shooting skyward and drenching the ground into a muddy expanse in an instant!
"So he did run in that direction..."
Hierophant Green
