Great, we're doomed now!

A series of fiery meteors hurtled down on Jotaro!

The boy pulled his hat down, his heart pounding wildly, but his mind remained unusually calm; he even felt that time was slowing down.

A purple afterimage flashed behind him, and he sprinted forward with explosive power surpassing that of a track and field athlete, leaving the raging flames behind, while simultaneously tossing the plastic bag again—

"Mudada!"

Avdol smiled confidently: "No matter what the substance is, it can't escape the burning of the fire!"

As he said, the plastic bag quickly melted during the flight, and the two items inside began to expand rapidly due to the high temperature.

It's cola and beer!

—Bang!

A massive burst of gas produced a deafening explosion, while the solution inside evaporated instantly, obscuring half of Avdel's vision with steam.

"Hmph~ Is that all the tricks you've got?"

The fortune teller didn't care at all. He urged the flames to sweep across, instantly clearing away all obstacles. His eyes scanned the area with sharp intensity, and sure enough, he didn't see Jotaro's figure.

He carefully observed his side and kept an eye on the movements behind him: "A sneak attack? It is indeed a tactic of the weak, but in this situation you have no way to attack. No matter where you appear from, my [Red Magician] will turn you into charred remains in an instant!"

But after observing for a week without finding any trace of the target, Abudel frowned. Just then, he noticed something out of place:

It was a manhole cover thirty meters away, not fully embedded in the ground, but slightly raised, as if it had just been moved.

Manhole cover?

Abudel shifted his feet, sensed something was wrong, looked down, and immediately widened his eyes—

He stepped on the edge of another manhole cover!

This is a seaside town. Every year during the monsoon season, there is a huge flow of water that puts the drainage system to the test. As a result, the rainwater manhole covers are very dense here, and you can see one every twenty or thirty meters!

"Could it be that in that very instant—the [Red Magician]!"

The bird-headed monster let out a sharp shriek, and a pillar of fire crashed down!

—Oh my god!!

The rain cover was propelled away by the force of a bull, and the thick metal was like a Spartan shield, directly blocking the extreme flames. A figure leaped out nimbly, and while his lower body was still in the well, he clenched his iron fist and slammed it hard into Abudel's abdomen, sending this adult weighing over 200 pounds flying several meters!

"Huff! Huff! Huff..." Jotaro was drenched in sweat in the scorching air. A flame blocked his path again, stopping his pursuit. His previous attack was the most he could muster. Now he could only kneel on the ground, nervously watching the figure on the ground.

"...Is it over?"

"Humph!"

"!"

Under Jotaro's shocked gaze, Avdol slowly got up. Blood was seeping from his mouth and nose, but he seemed unaffected. He wiped it with the back of his hand and revealed a smug smile.

“I underestimated you, Jotaro… If you were more familiar with the power of your Stand, or if your punch had been thrown at a higher angle and hit my head instead of my stomach, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand up.”

But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs"!

"You're still a little short when it comes to a Stand battle with me, Jotaro Kujo!"

After saying that, he pulled off the headscarf on his head, untied his dreadlocks, and revealed a fleshy sac between his eyebrows—this disgusting thing was actually beating like a heart!

"The blessing bestowed by Lord Dior can stimulate the human brain and hormone secretion, giving this body greater strength and resilience!"

An ordinary person might not even withstand a single punch from you, but I am different… For Lord Dio, I will sever the Joestar bloodline here and now!

Oops!

This time, all plans have truly been exhausted!

Such an opportunity for a sneak attack can only be seized once; the opponent will never reveal a weakness again, and a direct confrontation would be the only option...

No way! This evil spirit that can control fire is practically invincible!

—Jotaro's eyes widened in anger.

"It's really over now, Jotaro!"

Aboudell shouted, "Red Magician!"

boom!

The bird-headed monster summoned a sea of ​​fire, as if it had spread wings several meters long behind it, and then unleashed an unprecedented torrent that engulfed Jotaro—

Clang!

A flash of silver light appeared!

An elegant blade sliced ​​through the void, its restrained darkness dancing in the air. Countless intersecting trajectories resembled musical notes dancing on a score, together forming a thrilling symphony of slaughter.

--call!

The black and silver sword net cut through the air, and the fluctuations in the vacuum even dispersed the overwhelming flames!

The Stand manifested, and it was none other than the Silver Chariot wielding the Anubis!

"Ooh~" Polnareff stood tall in front of the boy, pretending to wipe his forehead. "It really is hot."

"What?! They actually used swords to part the flames!"

Avdol's pupils dilated violently, and he immediately recalled his Stand to his side for protection. He recognized Polnareff at a glance, and his expression turned sinister.

"I know you... one of the two Stand users who appeared in France, the one who defeated Granny Enya, the one who opposed Lord Dio... Humph! What bad luck!"

"It doesn't matter, it's just another corpse at the hands of my [Red Magician]."

"Oh dear, you're really confident. A kid who can't even beat a novice like you dares to talk like that in front of me!" Polnareff glanced at the 1.8-meter-tall Jotaro from behind, "...a guy who can't even beat a novice like you!"

"What's your problem with me?" the swordsman Avdol scoffed. "If you had chosen to attack me instead of protecting that person, the outcome would probably be decided by now. But because you missed your chance, both of you will be reduced to ashes!"

"Be careful, or I might open a few more mouths on your ridiculous face, and they might be even better at talking than you."

Polnareff suddenly grinned: "And who said no one attacked you?"

"Ok?"

Avdol was slow to realize what was happening, his hair standing on end, but his reaction was incredibly fast. The next second, the bird-headed monster unleashed raging flames from both hands, sweeping them outwards in all directions—

hum!

The black figure charged straight into the flames!

"Sigh!"

The Red Magician intensified its firepower to completely overwhelm it, but in the blink of an eye, it was forced to break through!

"impossible!"

Avdol's eyes were filled with indescribable shock as he saw the black-armored warrior who resembled an ancient knight but was far more ferocious.

Metal is an excellent medium for heat. With his [Red Magician]'s high temperature, which is enough to create magma, he could cook the person inside in just a few breaths!

But upon closer inspection, he discovered that the black armor was inexplicably covered by a thin film of energy fluctuations.

【Crimson Ripple Dash】!

—Most of the flames were guided and neutralized by this ripple energy that also generated high temperatures!

"Don't come any closer! Don't come near me!"

Encountering a monster utterly beyond comprehension, Avdol retreated repeatedly, but how could he be faster than a berserker? In the instant the fierce wind blew, his vision was filled with expanded darkness—

Bang!

After his body was launched into the air, the fortune teller didn't even see how he was attacked before he instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Chapter 137 The Eternal Stardust Expedition!

laugh!

The black armor's "scales" opened slightly, and hot air emanated from it, distorting light and shadow. Then the mecha activated, and Ye Shou stepped out.

Then Polnareff and Jotaro witnessed a truly "magical" scene:

Ye Shou's body quickly secreted a large amount of sweat, which evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye, so much so that there was obvious mist rising from his body, as if he had just walked out of a sauna!

"Are you alright?" Polnareff asked worriedly. "Are you alright? Should we see a doctor?"

"It's alright, I've already released the excess heat through my sweat glands." Ye Shou exhaled a breath of hot air and smiled nonchalantly at Bobo.

"The human body can regulate its temperature automatically; I just accelerated the process."

"Accelerate? You mean sweat...?" Bobo was stunned. "That works?"

Ye Shou smirked: "The human body, isn't it amazing?"

Bobo looked at Jotaro, then at Avdol with parasites growing on his head, and suddenly felt that Ye Shou's "special skill" wasn't so hard to accept, at least it was much more scientific than vampire flesh buds!

"And who are you? But you saved me anyway, thank you."

Jotaro bowed in greeting—it seems he hasn't fully evolved into the tough guy he'll become, and still retains some of the behaviors of an ordinary person.

"It's alright, it's alright. We're your grandfather's good friends, no need to be so polite." Bobo waved his hand.

Joseph Joestar's voice carried from afar: "Are you alright, Jotaro!"

From the other end of the road, a wealthy American man dressed as an adventurer ran over and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his grandson safe and sound.

First, Joseph Joestar wrote down Jotaro's location. Then, to avoid missing him, the three of them took different routes. Ye Shou and Popo arrived first and managed to save Jotaro.

“Grandpa…” Jotaro straightened his clothes, brushed off the dirt, pulled down his hat, and looked at Joseph Joestar with a very serious expression.

"First, someone claimed to be your friend but tried to kill me, and then he mentioned Dio's name. Who is this guy? Why is he so persistent with us?"

Stands, vampires, evil spirits, even sci-fi armor… I have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but it seems you, sir, know the whole story. Can you tell me what’s going on?”

"That's a long story."

Joseph sighed, then glanced at Avdol lying on the ground, his gaze turning worried and sad.

"In short, let's move Avdol to a safe place first and see if we can save his life... Jotaro, you come with us too. Although you are still young, you have undoubtedly inherited the blood of the Joestar family, and I will tell you the whole story behind it!"

-

Joseph tells Jotaro in detail about the entangled fate of Dio and the Joestar family, as well as the devastating news of their return a hundred years later. Jotaro is also greatly surprised by the matter of Stands and Stand users.

So what he saw wasn't an evil spirit after all...

Leaving him to process these things slowly, Joseph Joestar came to Ye Shou's side, glanced at the unconscious Avdol, and asked softly, "How is the situation? Can your Stand handle Dio's flesh buds?"
