[240] For Lord DIO!

"That Caster guy..." Watching the gigantic sea demon in the distance, whose contours were now clearly visible, DIO complained, "He's out of his mind, revealing my true name so quickly! I've been seet that JOJO bizarre adventures in this world!"

In those adventures, he had almost showcased all of his abilities. So, he had been avoiding the exposure of his true identity, preventing others from seeing him and uttering his name.

But—this Caster had outright revealed his name?

"Well, forget it... Tomorrow is the day I ascend to heaven. Before that, let the exposure happen—"

Anyway... that Caster probably wouldn't survive the night.

And after that, he would reveal himself. As long as the sea demon was strong enough, consuming the energy of those Servants, it didn't matter if he got exposed!

...

"So, Dio's Noble Phantasm is time stop... able to stop time for five or even nine seconds... this is really troublesome," Arash said with some emotion.

If he were attacked without any preparation for five to nine seconds...

He would probably be a corpse by then.

The next moment, he forcefully drew his bow and aimed at the colossal sea demon in the sea. "But I am Archer, sorry, but I won't engage in close combat."

Swish—

In an instant.

Arrows shot out rapidly; this arrow was Arash's full-powered shot.

The arrow surpassed the wind, exceeded the sound—

A booming sound echoed in the air; it was a sonic boom—

The arrow almost instantly closed the distance of several kilometers and pierced the sea demon. It went straight through its chest, making about a quarter to a third of its flesh disappear!

"Sorry, I didn't intend to let you come ashore. Let me finish you off in one go." Arash said, pulling his bowstring again, aligning three arrows side by side.

Next, these three arrows would leave three large holes on the sea demon summoned by Caster—upper, middle, and lower.

Even though he didn't know where Caster was hiding, shooting in all possible hiding spots should work!

"Hmm? What's this—?"

The next moment, Arash's expression changed, and he chuckled bitterly. "This is a bit troublesome..."

"What's wrong, Archer?" His Master asked through their connection.

"Ah, it's getting bigger... increasingly larger."

That was... the sea demon was devouring people—

...

"Haha... hahahaha—just like this! Come! Come! Feast! Feast!"

Ten people, a hundred people...

All the hundreds of people initially captured on the shore were devoured without a single one left!

Not only that, several dead apostles hit by Arash's arrows were also devoured alongside.

Eyes, tentacles, armor...

The grotesque sea demon became several times larger than before, filled with numerous eyes staring around. Countless tentacles had climbed onto the land from the center of the river—

Moreover...

Armor-like hard shells began to appear on the sea demon's body—

Even Arash's arrows couldn't easily pierce its body.

Afterward... the sea demon came ashore—

It once again had food and a target—the people who sensed the commotion and came over.

One, two.

The shore was filled with people. At that moment, several gigantic tentacles emerged from the Nile River.

Swish—

Arrows from a distance pierced through the tentacles, and every tentacle attempting to come up was punctured without exception.

At that moment—

Several Servants, Magus, and Executors also rushed over—

"You, open the drive-out barrier; you, subtly suggest to those who have already come in; you four, start setting up large illusions to conceal the magical fluctuations in this direction—"

Barthomeloi Lorelei gave orderly commands.

Her squads, under her command, began executing the orders with caution.

Though they encountered such a sea demon for the first time, it didn't make them panic. They had already fought against dead apostles in places like the city center more than once or twice.

How to deal with people approaching was clear enough.

They were magus, but they were also a military force!

One of the strongest combat units of the Clock Tower!

So, this extremely dire situation gradually came under control!

"Not bad, Barthomeloi. Faced with such a situation, you haven't made any mistakes," Ambrose Conant said emotionlessly, his severed limbs already regenerated.

"You guys are good too... should I say it's thanks to the 'Iscariot'?" Barthomeloi Lorelei looked at the current situation. She mocked, "See, all because you Iscariot, Alucard came after us."

However, even so, the Executors and magus had their own capabilities.

With the help of the Executors and the interventions from the magus, they managed to keep the sea demon from coming ashore, trapping it firmly in the Nile River.

But... this wasn't enough, it wasn't sufficient—

"Merely this won't do. We must find its core!" Here, Barthomeloi Lorelei, among others, was looking for an opportunity to defeat the sea demon. In the distance, the dead apostles were also looking for an opportunity.

"This won't work! If this continues, Caster won't last long, and DIO's intended role won't be fulfilled!""

"What should we do?"

"Damn the accursed Mage's Association!"

"I'll go—" At this moment, a dead apostle stepped forward. "If I let the sea demon eat me, it should provide even more powerful energy, making it even stronger!"

In an instant—

The scene fell silent for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

"Count me in!"

"I'm going too!"

"For Lord DIO!"

"Well then, how about this?" Colin Kidd grinned and said, "Let's attack the magus and the church people—either be eaten by the sea demon after we die, or kill them all, and then be eaten by the sea demon! Those Executors and magus should be delicious too, right?"

"Agreed!" High-ranking dead apostle Isaac Barnes nodded. "Let's do that."

"Hold on—you can't go!" Colin stopped Isaac Barnes. "You're a high-ranking dead apostle; tomorrow, you still need to help Lord DIO resist the enemy Servants. Today, we'll handle it!"
