"Ugh, no! That's disgusting!"

Dianci jumped up and waved his hands repeatedly. He disliked this feeling, especially the mix of dejection and anger.

"Sorry." Gao Shan gave a somewhat goofy smile.

"In short, as temporary teammates, I think we should build enough trust—Mr. Polnareff, what about you?"

Sato shifted his ambiguous gaze to Polnareff, and under his watchful eye, Polnareff had no choice but to reveal his information.

"As you can see, our mission is to protect your safety for seven days. Mr. Polnareff, in my opinion, it would be safest for us to take action."

In any case, a moving target is always better than a stationary one. Since you've already decided to be hunted down, it's best to escape if you can.

But Polnareff shook his head firmly; no, he would not run away.

On a deeper level, his decision not to leave Rome was to act as bait to lure out forces loyal to Diavolo, making it easier for Jotaro and Giorno to deal with Diavolo together.

On the surface, he simply didn't want to cause too many unnecessary casualties.

Stand users possess a wide variety of abilities, including many with large-scale destructive power. If, during their escape, they were cornered in a densely populated area by Stand users loyal to Diavolo, it would undoubtedly cause too many uncontrollable casualties.

Polnareff would rather put himself in danger than drag innocent bystanders into it!

Polnareff firmly stated his thoughts, Denji remained noncommittal, while Takayama sensed the pure and noble unwavering will of the silver-haired, broom-headed man before him and instinctively paid homage to him.

As for Sato? He doesn't care what happens to him. He can completely accept the change from a game of escaping pursuit and counterattacking to a game of defending the castle.

Anyway, it's all a kind of 'game'

However—at this point, Sato suddenly shook the ring on his hand, and the next moment, a number of 'weapons' appeared in front of him.

Na Ring

Type: Legendary Magic Item

Description: A spiritual artifact created using cultivation techniques, capable of holding an object of approximately 1.5 cubic meters. It can be activated using any energy source. Once activated, it generates an energy layer several centimeters away from the fist, which can cause great harm to spiritual beings.

This was an 'item' he redeemed for himself; this kind of spatial item that could hold objects suited Sato's fighting style perfectly. Moreover, he also needed the ability to damage 'spirits'.

"I brought some weapons, which will be helpful for the mission ahead. If you need them, you can take them yourself."

However, aside from Denji picking up a few guns and brandishing them, Polnareff and Takayama showed little interest.

Then, Sato picked up the firearms and quickly got busy inside and outside the castle.

After setting up more than a dozen tripwires, numerous trigger traps, and four hidden machine gun turrets, Sato finally stopped.

nailed it.

With this setup, how many Stand users could possibly get through?

And the sky gradually darkened.

After Sato returned to the castle, the group took turns sleeping in the castle hall with lights on. As time passed, and it got dark—

Gao Shan, who was pretending to doze off with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Someone is approaching us."

Gao Shan gripped the brass greatsword beside him and said solemnly.

"He approached us underground, very quickly, and—"

"The second wave of attacks has begun," Sato said softly, looking at the layer of pale green down covering his hands.

These tiny hairs intertwined and densely adhered to his arm, forming a spiderweb-like structure.

It's a fungal colony, and without a doubt, no fungus in the world grows that fast, so—

"It's a substitute attack!"

Polnareff summoned the silver chariot and said solemnly.

Soon, everyone discovered that their bodies were covered with many slowly spreading green fungi, just like stubborn athlete's foot, and these fungi were devouring their flesh.

"Ugh, so disgusting! So disgusting!!!"

Denji stomped his feet repeatedly, trying to shake off the fungus, but the fungus suddenly spread rapidly across his body.

"Stop! Electric shock!"

Polnareff stopped the erratic movement of the electric shock, looked at the suddenly multiplying fungus, moved his arm up, down, left, and right, and instantly understood.

"This event—no! This stand-in attack will increase our infection area based on actions taken from top to bottom!"

Polnareff warned the crowd, and at the same time, a pervert wearing a brown bodysuit suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The moment he appeared, the solid objects around him rippled like water, and the speed at which he appeared was unimaginably fast.

"Gotcha!!!"

He roared and grabbed Gao Shan's foot, and Gao Shan immediately raised the brass sword in his hand to fight back!

Initially, the Stand user failed to drag Takayama to the ground, but what was terrifying was the force of his punch, which deflected Takayama's attack.

—Such power! No, we need to find a different target! Jokorat said, take them down one by one!

Pick the softest persimmon!

Without hesitation, he almost immediately changed his target. Before being pursued, he spread his hands, dipped them into the muddy ground, and splashed them forcefully. The 'mud' that flew out immediately transformed into sharp stones with terrifying speed!

Takayama had no choice but to parry the attacks with his sword, and in that brief moment, he once again dove underground, opened his hands, and grabbed Denji's feet!

"what?!"

Before the bewildered Denji could even react, he was dragged to the ground by the Stand user.

"Hehehehe, brat, die a miserable death in despair!!!"

All that could be heard from beneath the ground was the monstrous voice of the Stand user, while at the same time, the rapidly multiplying fungus continued to spread!

"We must find the substitute that released these fungi!"

Polnareff made a quick decision; it can't be said that he gave up on Denji, since death is not the end for a Reincarnator anyway.

Moreover, if they don't deal with the Stand users who released this mold now, they'll all die here!

"It's right outside!"

Gao Shan pointed to the dark night outside the castle, his face showing disgust.

"I can feel it; it's more disgusting than Grox's excrement, more vile than a slave owner's urination!!!"

"He's right there in the sky outside the castle!"

At that moment, a tiny, inconspicuous black dot floated in the sky above the abandoned castle.

And that was a private S-76 helicopter!

"Hehehe, I really picked a good burial plot for myself. At this height, my 'youthful years' are 'invincible'!"

Inside the plane, Stand user Jokorat rested his chin on his hand, revealing a sickly and malicious smile.

Chapter 47: 47. Sato: Go talk to my loitering missile! (Bounty offered for votes!)

Giocolat and Zek, like Skjaer and Ticchano who were killed not long ago, were a Stand user duo who existed as the boss's personal guard.

They were absolute perverts and madmen. Even Diablo, a born demon, loathed them.

Jokorat was a morbidly horrific killer who, at the age of fourteen, infiltrated a nursing home as a volunteer. Through constantly changing medications, injecting drugs into food, and using verbal hypnosis, he drove the elderly to the brink of despair and suicide one by one.

All of this was simply to film their tragic deaths with a DV camera, to please themselves, and to enjoy the pleasure of dying in agony.

After becoming a doctor, his behavior became increasingly pathological. Taking advantage of his position, he deliberately diagnosed healthy patients as sick countless times, brought them to the hospital, and then used every means to gradually destroy them psychologically and physically.

Until one day, he was dismissed for intentionally killing a patient after surgery. As for why he was able to join the organization, it can only be said that even Diablo can make mistakes.

After he joined in the frenzy and revealed his true nature, Diavolo wanted to kill him outright more than once, but Diavolo felt that his abilities were too strong and unsuitable.

So he imprisoned Joccolat, releasing him only when threatened and intimidated, and when necessary. Even so, Diablo would occasionally think of simply killing him.

As for Secco, since his partner Jokorat is a doctor, he is naturally a patient—and a patient with both mental and physical problems!

Although his exact circumstances are unclear, he eventually went from being Jokorat's patient to his pet, and their stand-ins complemented each other almost perfectly.

While Jockey's Stand, Green Day, doesn't possess strong close-combat abilities, it does have an extremely terrifying 'slaughter' ability!

When activated, the ability can spread to half a city. Any creature within its range that moves from high to low altitudes will be invaded by the mold, causing physical damage. The deeper one goes, the more severe the damage.

It can be said that Jokorat's ability is another extreme of Stand users - the destructiveness of extreme spread.

This ability is a perfect match for Joccolat's personality! It is precisely because he uses his ability to kill people everywhere without any scruples that Diavolo is so wary of him!

Psycho's Stand, 'Oasis,' is of a different type. It's a rare equipment-based Stand, granting the user the power to turn anything it touches into mud through a suit worn on the body. Combined with his keen hearing, he typically moves at high speed on the ground, then unexpectedly pulls enemies underground.

The Chocolat forms a deadly combo. This Stand also boasts exceptionally high stats in both power and speed (both A-level), making it highly effective in close combat!

It can be said that compared to other guards, Jokorat and Seyko are the strongest combination in all aspects!

Just minutes earlier, above this ancient castle, Jokorat, who had flown in by helicopter, looked down at the dark castle and let out an excited yet morbid smile.

"They actually chose to wait for us in a place like this? Hahahaha, they're really asking for trouble!"

He covered his doctor's white coat, which had been modified to include a cross tattooed on his chest to mock God, and burst into maniacal laughter, causing his succulent-green hair to shake violently!

"Idiot! Hahaha, but it's all good, hurry up and kill him, I want to go to Rome and have some fun!"

Giocolat clutched his chest and laughed maniacally, fantasizing about how he would ravage the Romans to relieve his boredom!

"Sai Ke!!!"

He turned his head and smiled perversely.

Do you know what you're supposed to do?

“Jokolat…” Secco stared wide-eyed, sticking out her tongue, more like a dog fawning over her than a human.

"Besides Polnareff, there are three other people of unknown origin in that castle... Find the weakest one, drag him away, and then torture him to death bit by bit!"

He raised the DV camera in his hand and shouted loudly.

“I’ll record every single moment of their deaths! So, Jokorat, the reward, the reward for the explanation!”

"Ah, I'll play the candy-flipping game with you! How about flipping three at once?"

"Four! I want four!!!"

"Okay, okay, you're so greedy~~"

Jokorat smiled morbidly, and then Seco, holding the DV camera, fell to the ground like a diver, disappearing instantly into the earth.

Meanwhile, Giocolat summoned his Stand and began mass-producing and spreading carnivorous mold.

"Green Day!!!"

At his summons, a bizarre humanoid stand with green and white fungal-like patterns appeared beside Jokorat, and then countless carnivorous fungi invisible to the naked eye spread across his body.

Looking down at the ancient castle, Jokorat wore an expression of self-satisfaction and confidence bordering on arrogance.

Yes, what reason could he possibly have to lose? How could he possibly lose?

As he said, this terrain was an absolute advantage for him!

While an open area is not conducive to the spread and reproduction of fungi, conversely, there are absolutely no buildings around him that can get close to him while he is flying a helicopter.

In other words, he's 'invincible' when he's piloting a helicopter!

Unless that Stand user can fly, and fly faster than a helicopter, and guarantee that he will never fall, he is already 'invincible'!

Just as Jokorat was laughing wildly, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light on the ground.

A strong sense of crisis made him turn his head instantly. The next moment, a bullet pierced the windshield of the helicopter, grazed the spot where his head had been, and passed through the helicopter.

A sniper rifle, and with armor-piercing bullets at that!

Joe Korat broke out in a cold sweat instantly; he had almost been blown out of the head!

At this moment, he really wanted to curse—this was supposed to be a battle between Stand users, why the hell are you using a gun, and a sniper rifle at that?!

But soon, he learned what a true 'response' was.

Upon seeing the airplane in the sky, Sato on the ground calmly pulled out a large, thick, black object from his storage ring.

Yes, after the last time he blocked the evacuation point, Sato realized his mistakes and felt that the weapons he had purchased were not ruthless or cunning enough. His demi-human bloodline still posed a significant limitation to his combat abilities.

So he bought this prized possession—the Igla-S patrol and tracking missile.

This single-target air-to-air missile features a built-in launch control unit (LCU), a digital signal processor seeker (DSP Seeker), and a passive infrared/UV dual-mode seeker. It is hands-free and highly maneuverable!
