Chapter 119

Cancer is something not even the greatest healer on Earth can cure.

Only someone on the level of a lord of chaos or order could achieve that feat.

"As for Zatanna, I want to know too."

Dio let his curiosity overcome him.

Constantine didn't answer right away, and they began to fly over the alleys of Crime Alley, the places with the highest chance of finding vampires.

"Zatanna and I were very close until I saw a chance to correct a mistake. In order to do that, I took something from her without asking, and it hurt her in the end."

The secret was finally revealed.

This idiot probably took something from Zatanna's house without asking, and after failing, he involved her while hurting her in some way.

"She is my teacher and older than me, so I won't get involved. But if you ever do something like that again in the future, we'll have a talk at the River Styx."

Dio warned in the most serious tone.

"Noted."

Constantine replied while imitating Batman's serious tone, but he knew Dio was not joking.

"Seriously, in the middle of the street!"

Boston pointed to the alley below, where a man was leaning against the wall and a woman was kneeling in front of him while moving her head back and forth.

"Come to think of it, this city has its charm."

Constantine joked.

The scene in front of him didn't embarrass him.

Dio grew up in these alleys, and seeing men sleeping with prostitutes was the least of it.

In winter, Dio can easily find frozen bodies.

"Wait, the woman has no heartbeat."

Dio warned the two.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Soon, the man started screaming, not in pleasure but in pain.

Boston was the fastest to act, dove in, and entered the body of the woman on the ground.

The woman stood up and took several steps back, as if she were drunk.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The man who had his "friend" torn off is on the ground while holding his groin with both hands, blood dripping.

Boston struggles to control the vampire, who walks like a drunkard and takes steps forward and backward.

"Darn it!"

Boston shouted when he was expelled from the woman's body.

Dio teleported in front of the screaming woman and kicked her against the wall to stop her from attacking again.

It didn't stop her madness when her body cracked the wall.

The blood-stained vampire prostitute jumped toward Dio with red eyes, short black hair, a skirt, and a fake fur coat.

Dio ignored what he saw fall from the vampire's mouth when it opened and pushed her against the wall again with his open palm to suppress her.

"Επικαλούμαι το κρύο της θλίψης του ποταμού Κωκυτός !"

(I Summon the Cold of Wailing from the River Cocytus!)

He pressed the center of her chest, and black mist covered her body and wall, leaving only her neck and above free from ice.

Dio pulled his hand away from her chest now that she was stuck.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Dio ignored the scream of pain behind him and took a few steps back.

Boston stopped floating beside him, and Constantine reached the ground and went toward the man screaming in pain.

Constantine put two fingers to his forehead, which glowed faintly, and the man's face froze in a scream of pain before falling sideways into a deep sleep.

"Poor bastard, there really is nothing more sacred nowadays."

Constantine said this while looking at the injured area.

"What are you going to do with her?"

Boston asked.

"I was thinking that if vampires have a connection to the person who turned them, then Constantine or Zatanna might know a spell to locate the people who turned them."

"Good thinking."

"CRACKK!"

The ice began to crack. Dio didn't freeze her body; he created a layer of ice around her to pin her to the wall, so it's not very resistant.

Dio raised his hand to strengthen the spell, but Constantine conjured a small sun and a small yellow light ball above his hand.

"This spell is quite useful."

The effects were immediate; the woman's red eyes turned black, and her body relaxed.

"This is a simple Inca conjuration spell. Apu Inti may be a bastard god, but he loves burning creatures of darkness."

Who the hell would bother learning Inca magic nowadays?

That's why this jerk is a valuable ally.

"Now, for the most important matter, Boston, did you really enter the woman's body while she had her mouth full of..."

"SHUT UP!"

Deadman shouted while shaking his head as if that would erase his memory.

Dio ignored the two and approached the woman.

She was completely out of control before, but the sun cut through that, leaving her flat and tired like a lifeless doll.

Dio put his hand on her forehead and cast his own spell to make her sleep. She's totally worn out, so it's pretty easy.

"Keep an eye on the vampire; I need to help him."

Dio said this to them and turned around.

The man may not be screaming in pain anymore, but he's still bleeding.

He might have died here because ambulances take a long time to get to this part of the city.

"Kírix, to Batman."

Dio touched his communicator.

"Go ahead."

He responded promptly.

"We captured a vampire during an attack. The man wasn't bitten, but he's losing a lot of blood due to the loss of a limb."

It was the best I could say out loud.

"HAHAHAHHAHA!"

Constantine laughed behind him.

"I'll notify the authorities."

"Do you think it would be better to take him to the doctor? If I remember correctly, this place has the slowest ambulance arrival time in the country and even the world."

"I've contacted an ambulance from a private company. The help will be there in a few minutes and stabilize the injured person for a while."

This means that the charity medical firm he set up just for this purpose is coming.

"Understood."

"As for the prisoner, I'm sending Zatanna to you; she'll take care of her."

"In fact, I want to suggest something."

"Continue."

"Constantine can use a spell to trace the connection between the vampire and the one who turned her."

"There's no way to know if Mary was the one who turned her."

"Yes, but we can gather several other vampires to perform the ritual at once and then launch a coordinated attack against them."

Dio suggested.

"Agreed, I'll give everyone four hours for the search."

Dio was even a bit excited that Batman himself was accepting his idea.

"You heard the bat; you have to stabilize him by applying pressure to the wound."

Dio could see Constantine's smile even when he didn't turn around.

Constantine's right, but Dio certainly won't put his hand there.

Dio drew his sword from his back and placed the blade's tip on the wound.

"Επικαλούμαι το κρύο της θλίψης του ποταμού Cocyte!"

{I Invoke the Cold of the River Cocytus' Wailing!}

A thin and light layer of ice covered the wound while stopping the bleeding without freezing it.

"All done."

Dio sheathed his sword.

"That's cheating."

"I agree; I got the worst part."

"Silence."

Dio ordered.

"And her?"

Constantine asked.

Dio forgot about that; they need to capture more vampires, but they need a way to transport her.

"Let's take her with us."

Then Dio heard the ambulance siren a few minutes later.

"They're coming."

Dio warned the approaching vampire.

"BAANGG!"

Dio broke the ice with a punch and caught her before she fell to the ground while placing her over his shoulder.

"Let's go; we don't need to wait for them in person."

They started to float, and from above, Dio saw the ambulance turning toward the injured man.

He'll be okay because his heartbeat and breathing are normal.

"Let's continue on the route given by Batman."

...

The searches continued for three hours.

So far, they haven't found any attacks, but two other pairs managed to capture two newly turned vampires who were acting crazed.

Unfortunately, one victim died during this attack and couldn't be saved; she fell during her escape while hitting her head on the ground and died on the spot.

"So, this Rama Kushna turned you into a ghost with only the ability to possess the living and ordered you to bring justice to the world?"

Dio asked the Deadman.

"That's right."

Deadman confirmed.

After three hours, they talked, and Dio quite liked Boston. He's a nice guy to converse with and a good person.

"It seems a bit above your powers; no offense, but she could have given you a bit more enhancement to your abilities."

"Yes! Finally, someone who understands that."

"You two, why not just stay quiet? You've been talking for hours."

Constantine yelled.

They were flying over an empty part of the city where they were looking.

There are no businesses or public services in this part of the city, with empty buildings and houses.

Nevertheless, this area is very active, but with the wrong type of people.

"Not everyone is as reserved about themselves, Constantine."

"I'm not reserved."

"Down, on the left!"

Dio signaled to both of them.

They are about forty meters above everything.

Constantine is still using his flying fire pentagram, and Dio still has the asleep vampire on his shoulder.

Dio had to cast the deep sleep spell twice to keep her that way.

There are people lying all over the place below them in an alley off one of the dirtiest streets.

Dio's attention is not on them but ahead, on a bridge with no movement, where only one man is walking.

This isn't strange, but what catches the eye are his clothes.

He's wearing loose blue pants, a beige vest over a white shirt, long blond hair with a piece of cloth tied around his head, common sandals, and a guitar on his back.

He's wearing loose blue pants, a beige vest over a white shirt, and a guitar on his back.

He also has long blonde hair with a piece of cloth tied around his head.

"What's the problem? Never seen a hippie in Gotham?"

Constantine asked.

"I have, but never a vampire hippie."

Dio told them.

'How do I know this?'

'There's no heartbeat or breathing.'

They are easy to spot when he has them in his line of sight; if they aren't, they can easily go unnoticed.

These two people trust him, and the three of them quickly descended toward the vampire hippie.
