Fate DxD

Chapter 115

Jonathan hesitates for a few seconds, looking at his father and me, and after thinking it over, he nods and stands up, carrying his father in his arms and laying him down on one of the tables. Jotaro arrives with a sheet and gently covers him, while Jolyne can't help but cry hot tears.

Suddenly, I hear a noise outside, barely audible, but thanks to my heightened hearing, I instantly turn toward the window and see small pieces of wall falling. Then, suddenly, Dio lands on the windowsill, but cuts his cheek on a sharp piece of glass. He steps forward and climbs down from the window, landing gently on the red carpet.

"What on earth is that..." One of the police officers can't believe his eyes.

"He's still alive after all those bullets?!" adds another, hastily reloading his weapon.

Dio simply smiles at the frightened faces of the police officers, licking his lips. He advances step by step, taking his time to admire the terror in front of him.

"The...the...the inspector's head...it completely exploded! How...how is that possible?!" One of the police officers panics.

"No idea!" exclaimed Daisuke. "But stay alert, he probably has a weapon!"

(Did the mask give him immortality?) I wonder, watching Dio's every move. (In addition to superhuman strength... If that's really the case, it must come at a price. It's impossible for such power to be gained without a trade-off. Now we have to find out what it is...)

"Uh... He's coming toward us..." One of the officers has trembling hands, holding his weapon without conviction.

"What are you waiting for, guys?!" Speedwagon exclaims. "Hurry up and shoot! You must have missed a vital spot!"

"Dio Brando, on behalf of the Konoha State Police, I order you to stop!" Daisuke points his gun at him.

But Dio couldn't care less, charging at Jonathan. Seeing him coming, Jonathan looks at his two cousins in panic and stands in front of them to protect them. When a gunshot rings out in the mansion, it is Daisuke whose bullet enters Dio's skull and exits through the back, destroying a white vase just behind Dio. To everyone's surprise, he remains standing, as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, his whole body begins to emit a slight vapor. Everyone panics, especially the police, who scream in horror as they see Dio reach his hand into the gaping hole in his skull, insert his fingers inside, and pull them out to lick the blood.

"He... He's still alive!" Speedwagon trembles with fear. "But he was shot right in the head... It's enough to drive you crazy... What the hell is going on?"

"Jojo..." Dio murmurs his brother's name.

"What?" Jonathan is surprised to hear this, his voice becoming deeper.

"Senji." Then he turns to me, sharp teeth showing.

(He looks like a vampire...) I get into position, ready for battle.

"Look at me, both of you!" Dio exclaims, jumping several meters off the ground as if it were effortless. "I have fantastic strength! Thanks to the stone mask! And thanks to the blood of your father, Jojo!"

I turn to Jonathan, who has been studying the mask for several months, but seems as confused as I am.

Taking advantage of the general confusion, Dio, who is hanging from the ceiling, grabs one of the police officers, digging two fingers into his skull and lifting him up.

"Wryyyyy!!" he exclaims.

Suddenly, the policeman becomes increasingly pale and thin, until he turns completely gray with skin and bones.
