Pop~
A sound like a bubble bursting rang out.
The rope around [Shout]'s neck tightened slightly, slicing its entire head off!
Dio's pupils contracted as he stared in disbelief at the little headless corpse in his hand.
What happened!?
When did that rope appear?
Whoosh!
A sinister gust suddenly swept in from behind, and the Ripple throughout Dio's body immediately surged in waves.
Another attack!
Without hesitation, Dio twisted aside, narrowly avoiding the attack as the sinister gust brushed past him.
Dio turned his head and looked closely.
The rope that had only been visible with [Gyo] had suddenly become solid!
It floated eerily in midair, raising its loop and swaying from side to side like a venomous snake.
After swaying twice, it lunged at Dio again!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Faced with the incoming lasso, Dio had no intention of touching it. He simply raised his hand and fired three shots.
Three bullets carrying Silver Current shot out, tracing elegant, icy arcs through the air.
Hitting a moving rope that was far from slow in the darkness was quite difficult. Of the three bullets Dio fired, only one ultimately hit.
Severed by the bullet, the lasso snapped and fell to the floor, where it actually thrashed several times like a snake cut in two.
Before Dio could catch his breath, the severed rope slowly dissipated, followed by two more lassos silently descending from the ceiling.
Seeing that the ropes had increased rather than decreased, Dio immediately understood. "I can't stay here. The more I fight these things, the more there are!"
With that thought, Dio darted past the two lassos and headed straight for the side door he had used earlier.
With him running at full speed, the lassos could not keep up at all. Dio quickly escaped the hall,
