12 The True Battle Finally Starts ! (2/2)

Barry has been killed In an Instant. Nobody present at the scene could believe this. The great Barry was killed without even breaking a sweat. How was this monster Dio hiding such power ?!?! Even lord Diamante would have taken a couple of minutes to kill Barry but Dio just slapped him out of existence.

Just as lord Diamante was about to say something, he stopped and stared at Dio. Dio pushed his hand inside Barry's headless body, and suddenly, In just a few moments, Barry's body started drying up until his body was as thin as a mummy!

While Dio was sucking Barry's blood, he thought in his head "So I don't need to use my mouth to drink the blood of my opponents. This Is clearly interesting. It seems I am even more fantastic than I thought. "As Dio scanned the pests around him, he noticed that Barry's minions were missing. Did they flee why he was sucking Barry's blood? Anyway, Dio had no time to think about this. There were approximately 2 minutes left until he would return back to lvl .1. He needed to finish this quickly but he also wanted to test out his abilities. At that moment Dio started laughing with a big wide smile on his face.

"You have lost In the battle of wits against me, DIO! I have planned everything from the very beginning!"

When Gina and Diamante heard this, they felt a chill running down their spine. Were they just pawns In Dio's grand and brilliant plan ? That Is What they were thinking but unfortunately they did not know Dio was just bluffing and they took his words to heart. Dio then continued to say:

" Barry's blood suits me well. It suits my body perfectly. My strength Is growing faster than ever before! IT SUITS ME! IT TRULY SUITS ME!"

As Dio said this, he kept scratching his skin until it started bleeding but just as the skin was about to bleed, It instantly regenerated leaving no wound whatsoever. Dio then said:

"And the one who allowed me to make It this far was you two. The Diamante bloodline was mere shit on the road compared to MY DESTINY! Just lying In my way...But In the end, It appears that the Diamante family Is fated to be my tools! ha ha ha HA HA HA !~!~"

When Gina and Diamante heard this, they were trembling with RAGE! How could a human talk like that ?!?! Unfortunately for them, Dio was no longer a puny human. He has advanced and broken through his limits thus becoming the ultimate lifeform...

When Gina Heard What Dio said, she could not control her anger anymore and leaped at him like a mad lion. Just as her sword was about to cut off Dio's head, Dio vanished yet again and appeared behind Gina. Dio wanted to test one of his new abilities, the vaporization freezing technique. When he activated it, nothing in particular happened but when he punched Gina in the back, his fist instantly crystalized and froze a little part on her back where his fist connected. As Dio saw this, he Immediately moved around Gina, hitting her on every part of her body. To Gina and Diamante, Dio seemed as If he was teleporting, but Dio, In fact, was just casually jogging around her body and casually hitting her. 3 seconds passed until Dio stopped moving but when he stopped, Gina was already dead. Her body was entirely frozen and a look of despair could be found In her eyes. In the next moment, Dio pushed Gina's body on the ground and she shattered into countless pieces. Nothing remained of her other than some small Ice fragments. With tears In his eyes, Diamante rushed toward Dio to try and kill him but Dio just stood motionless. When Diamante was just in front of Dio, Dio started moving at an even faster pace than before. He activated his vaporization freezing technique and then did a barrage of continuous strikes. Lord Diamante tried to block but to no avail. Every punch that landed on his body, made him slower each time. There was no hope for survival but Diamante still held on. He did not want to die without even fatally wounding Dio. As Dio sees that Diamante clings on to the thread of life, he becomes angry and shouts in anger while still continuing his attack rush:

"WRYYYYYYY !!!!"

Just then, lord Diamante saw an opening! He shouted out loud, "DIAMOND FIST! Take my rage and go to HELL you bastard !" and slammed his fist on Dio's head. Diamante put all of his power into that one single blow in the hopes that It will bring him victory! Any normal person would have surely died from that attack but contrary to Diamante's expectations, Dio shouted with a crazed smile:

"I still feel the power! I can still keep it up! By the way, mister Diamante, you shouldn't be able to move any longer. You probably gambled on that one single strike believing that It will achieve your victory but you've miscalculated! What a truly magnificent feeling! I feel so good, I could break out into song! A few hours ago, I killed Gina and became very strong but I did not feel as absolutely wonderful then as I do now! Your bloodline suits me very well! THIS IS THE GREATEST HIGH !~!~ It appears that this Is my current limit...I should wrap things up now !"

As Dio said that, he continued his barrage of punches while shouting "WRYYYYY!!!!" just like a lunatic. Several of lord Diamante's bones were cracked. He has been knocked on the ground by Dio's sheer power. When Diamante landed on the ground, Dio jumped above him and said:

"Now to unleash all of my power! Diamante! You said something about being pissed off but your fury can achieve no more than that!"

Diamante barely managed to lift up his hands, In a blocking stance but Dio still continued his barrage of fists while activating his vaporization freezing technique and screaming:

"Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! USELESS!!!!! And now, without pause, my final attack!!! The last and final time I will attack! SPACE RIPPER STINGY EYES!!!"

Just as Dio shouted the skill's name, bodily liquid started forming in his eyeballs and then small openings appeared in his eyes. After not even a second, 2 fluid jets were unleashed out of his eyeballs! Lord Diamante tried to dodge but at that moment Dio grabbed his hand and shouted:

"It's too late! You cannot escape! WRYYYY!!! I'LL FRY YOU LIKE A COCKROACH!"

At that moment, 25 % of the forest was destroyed leaving only a ginormous crater in which stood Dio with some ashes next to his body.Presumably lord Diamante's remains...Dio had a blank expression. With a satisfied tone he continued to say:

"I did It..."

Dio then started laughing while having a big smile on his face.

" HAHAha! This proves that no one can surpass the all-powerful DIO! Puny humans! I shall rule you all! Bow before my knowledge and might!!! "

After Dio said that, the blue square popped up in his face.
