KONO DIO DA!

Chapter 20 - Turning Straizo into an subordinate.

The person had blonde hair and his red eyes were shining in the dark night.

The moon formed a halo behind his head, making the scenes so holy that if someone saw the scene, they would think that their god had descended upon the earth.

But for Straizo, the man released so much dark aura that he felt that if he face the blonde vampire, he will die instantly without any resistance!

When Noah and others heard that voice, a huge pressure descended upon them. It was as if a predator was looking at them. Sweat poured down their head. The cold look that Dio gave them was enough to make them tremble, which they did. Freezing in fear, they hold their head down.

Dio looked at these idiots coldly. Giving time to the enemy to transform into a more powerful form is like asking for death, he had told them and instructed them to finish their enemies as soon as possible but these idiots can't follow it!

But he didn't blame them. This might be something related to fate. But he will definitely take his time, educating these idiots. At least, he can say for sure that Noah will learn from his mistake.

With that, he made a small leap from the peak, landing safely on the ground. Then he walked slowly toward Straizo. As he was closing the distance, Straizo started to tremble, the manacle and feeling of death made him so frightened that he couldn't move.

He could feel that a single wrong move would get him killed.

What made it more frightening was that as Dio was closing by, the temperature started to drop slowly, making the already scary situation, turn more frightening.

Dio can come in front of Straizo and started to examine him while circling him. But for Straizo, it felt as if a predator was examining whether he was a good prey to eat. After circling a few times, he whispered calmly by his ear.

"Your name is Straizo right? Say, would you like to join our side?"

A chill rand down his spine, but Straizo asked back in confusion. He felt like scolding himself but his mind was so clouded by the fear that his body moved automatically and asked, "W-What!?"

Not minding his attics, Dio buttered his offer and asked, "Think Straizo! Think! what will you not get if you join my side? Wealth? Immortality? Women? You can get everything you want as long as you join me!"

"On the other hand, if you decline my offer, I will still let you go. But what do you think will happen if you run away while declining my offer?"

"W-W-What will happen?"

"You will return to your Hamon Temple and will tell your master about the situation that is happening here. Then there will be a huge war! But all the loss of lives will be because of your actions! We can replenish our number infinitely as long as we can while learning Hamon is not easy and it takes years for a person to become as strong as a normal Vampire. The war will end with our victory!"

"But what about you? You will die during the war! And for instance, let's say, the Hamon Clan won the war, and you will start to age slowly. You will be in eternal torture where you can only see yourself getting weaker and weaker as you grow old, and in the end, die of old age!"

Dio's voice acted as a Devil's whisper as he continued to tempt Straizo. His whisper, as if touching the deepest desire of Straizo, turned his mind into turmoil!

With a gulp, Straizo felt as if Dio was telling him his deepest desire. It was as if invisible hands were stroking his heart, making his mind go blank for an instant as his heart beat fasten up.

He was sure that he should instantly turn the offer down and take revenge for Zeppeli, but his body was not obeying his mind at all. The offer given to him was his deepest desire but he knew that it was a trap, a trap set up for him.

"I-I-I-I d-don't know! I d-don't know what to do! Agghh!", Straizo held his head as his eyes contracted and he felt as if he was an idiot for saying that, but no matter what he do, his body had already betrayed his mind. He felt like plucking out his own hair to make himself to reality.
With a thud, he fell down to the ground, while grabbing his head and trying to come out to reality.

Looking at the confused Straizo whose knees were trembling and was fighting with his inner demons, he smile a little in success. Fear, punishment, and reward system were one of the best ways to turn a confused person to his side. This was one of the techniques that he learned during his previous life.

First, due to his natural charm and evil aura, he scared Straizo to the core. Then lowering the temperature of their surroundings, he made Straizo feel a chill run down his body.
