Chapter 216 Dio Brando

A certain world
1900, Deep in the Atlantic Ocean

An ancient coffin lies quietly on the seabed. After hundreds of years of erosion, the surface of the coffin is covered with barnacles and rust.

Inside the coffin, a blond man had his eyes closed. His delicate face seemed as perfect as a sculpture, but lifeless.

Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice resounded through his consciousness:
[Do you want to surpass the limits of human beings? Do you want to escape from this eternal loneliness? ]

"What's that sound!" The blond man suddenly opened his eyes. He looked around, but could only see the dark inner wall of the coffin.

[Dio Brand, do you desire power? Do you want to dominate the whole world? ! ]

The mechanical voice sounded again, and every word seemed to hit Dio's heart.

The corners of Dio's mouth slowly curled up into a dangerous smile, and his pale fingers trembled slightly in the darkness.

Decades of sleep had made his body a little stiff, but his ambition to dominate everything had never diminished.

"Wryyy." Dio laughed in a low voice. "Interesting, really interesting! Is this the gift that fate has prepared for me, Dio? If so, how could I, Dio, refuse such an opportunity!"

"Yes! I accept your conditions!" His voice echoed in the coffin.

[The reincarnationist is ready. You are about to go to the reincarnation world and complete the Lord's mission. You can get everything you want. 10, 9, 8, 7]

“Reincarnation? Lord God?” Dio frowned, then laughed, “It doesn’t matter. As long as it can make me, Dio, stronger, I can accept any condition!”

【3, 2, 1, transmission begins.】

Dio felt a black screen before his eyes, and his consciousness fell into a brief blank.

When Dio regained consciousness, he found himself standing on a narrow street. He raised his hands to cover his eyes and adjust to the sudden light.

"This architectural style?" Dio looked around and saw typical Japanese-style buildings with low eaves and wooden structures.

He remembered that when he was buying poison in London, he had read some books about the East. The illustrations depicting Oriental customs were very similar to the scene before his eyes.

"Interesting, this should be an Eastern country." Dio laughed deeply, "From the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, directly to the East Ocean? Is this the power of the Lord God?"

Dio leaned against the wall, his eyes flashing dangerously, "Since we are here, let's first understand the situation of this world."

A drunk man staggered around the corner, his face flushed, humming an off-tune tune, totally unaware of the pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

Dio's throat moved slightly: "Just right. I am indeed a little hungry."

Just as Dio was about to approach the drunk, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, bringing with it a gust of fishy wind. Dio's eyes fixed and he instinctively took a half step back.

"What good luck, I actually encountered two at once." A hoarse laugh came from the shadows. It was a hideous monster, with black blood vessels under its pale skin and fangs sticking out from the corners of its twisted mouth.

Before Dio could react, the monster had already grabbed the drunk's neck. With a "crack", the drunk's neck was easily broken, and blood gushed out and was sucked into the monster's mouth.

"Interesting." Dio narrowed his eyes. As a vampire, this was the first time he had seen someone so similar to himself.

The monster threw away the drunk's body and stared at Dio with scarlet eyes: "Your body. I have never seen such strong flesh and blood. If I can eat you, my strength will definitely double!"

"Oh?" Dio raised a playful smile, "Want to eat me? How dare you say that."

Before he finished speaking, the monster had already disappeared. Dio's pupils shrank slightly: "Not bad speed!"

But this level of speed was still within his reaction range.

"You seem to have made a mistake." Dio stood there, allowing the monster to approach, "I am the predator here."

Just as the monster's claws were about to touch Dio, its golden pupils suddenly burst into a dazzling light:
"The sky cracked and the eyes were pierced with shock!"

"puff!"

A stream of high-pressure liquid shot out from Dio's eyes like a laser, piercing directly through the monster's chest. Blood splattered in the air, and the monster's movements came to an abrupt halt."

"What?! Blood magic!" The monster staggered back, his eyes wide open with disbelief.

It trembled and knelt on the ground, with its forehead pressed to the ground: "Master, please spare me! It is my fault that I was shortsighted and did not recognize you, Master."

"Blood magic?" Dio chewed on this unfamiliar word: "This world is indeed different from my world."

He walked forward slowly, a cruel smile on his face: "However, since you wanted to eat my blood just now, I will accept it.

Just as Dio was about to touch the monster, the figure kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped up.

The monster's mouth twisted into a ferocious smile, and its arm stabbed at Dio like lightning: "Hahaha! So what if I know blood magic? If I eat you, I can also be promoted!"

"Pfft!"

The sharp claws easily pierced Dio's abdomen, blood splattered. The smile on the monster's face had not yet fully blossomed, and suddenly froze.

"What.?"

A biting chill spread from the wound, and the monster looked down, only to see that the arm he had inserted into Dio's body was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Do you think," Dio looked down at the arm that pierced his abdomen, a sinister smile on his lips, "you can kill me like this?"

"Vaporization freezing method!"

Click click
The frost quickly spread along the monster's arms, and in the blink of an eye it covered half of its body. The cold air condensed into crystal ice flowers, which flashed an eerie light under the moonlight.

"What is this!" The monster tried to pull back his arm in horror, but found that he could not move.

"Wryyy!"

Dio let out an excited roar and punched out with his left fist, smashing the frozen half of the monster's body into pieces.

The monster screamed and fell to the ground. Before it could react, Dio's hand had already penetrated its chest.

The blood vessels in the arm squirmed like living things, madly absorbing the blood in the monster's body.

"This blood!" Dio's eyes widened, feeling the power surging in his body. This blood contained a strange energy that was reacting strangely with his body.

An unprecedented power awakened in his body. Dio could feel his cells evolving crazily and every blood vessel beating excitedly.

This feeling is stronger and more wonderful than sucking human blood!

"Wryyyyy!"

"This blood is completely different from human blood!" Dio felt the power surging in his body, with a fanatical smile on his face, "Great! This world is so interesting!"

Suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in Dio's mind.

Dio looked at the information in front of him, and a hint of excitement flashed in his golden pupils: "Muzan. The ancestor of demons?" He licked his lips, and his golden eyes flashed with excitement: "Since the demons in this world have such delicious blood, then the blood of this ancestor must be even more delicious!"

"However, to deal with such prey, we need to make some preparations." He licked his lips and showed a dangerous smile: "Build up your own power first."

Dio's eyes fell on the quaint fortress in the center of the town, which was brightly lit and obviously inhabited.

"Let's start from here." Dio's figure blended into the darkness.

……

Late at night, in the mayor's mansion.

The mayor was sleeping on the bed. Suddenly, a cold wind blew. He frowned, opened his eyes drowsily, and found that the window had been opened at some point.

"Strange. I clearly remember closing it." The mayor put on his coat and walked to the window to close it.

squeak
The wooden floor made a slight sound, and the mayor turned around, his eyes suddenly widened.

Under the moonlight, a blond man was leaning against the wall. He was wearing luxurious clothes and looked too handsome to be a mortal, but his eyes were filled with a frightening evil spirit.

"Who are you?" The mayor's voice was trembling.

Dio walked forward slowly, and every step seemed to be stepping on the mayor's heart. An invisible sense of oppression filled the entire room, making the mayor almost breathless.

At this moment, the mayor felt as if he had become a sheep, and in front of him was a demon that could devour him at any time.

"The money is in the secret compartment under the bed!" The mayor stumbled back and bumped into the wall. "Please don't kill me. I, I have a wife and children."

Dio stopped in front of the mayor, looking down at the man who was already consumed by fear. He stretched out a finger and gently lifted the mayor's chin.

"Money?" Dio chuckled. "You seem to have misunderstood something."

His voice was filled with a fascinating magic, "From today on, you will become my Dio's servant. It is your honor."

The mayor wanted to run away, but his legs had lost their strength.

At this moment, Dio's finger suddenly pierced his forehead. A piercing chill instantly invaded his brain, and the mayor felt that his soul was being torn apart by some force.

"Ah!" A shrill scream resounded through the night sky.

"Bang!" The door was slammed open and two armed guards rushed in: "Mr. Mayor! What happened?"

They saw the mayor standing by the window with his back to the door, and everything seemed normal.

"Mr. Mayor, are you okay?"

The mayor turned around slowly and the guards gasped. The mayor's eyes turned blood red and there was a strange wound on his forehead that was slowly healing.

"You." The guard was about to shoot when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.

Dio had appeared behind them without them noticing, and his sharp fingers pierced into the guards' necks. They didn't even have time to scream before they were corroded by Dio's blood.

After a moment, the mayor and two guards knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, with fanatical lights flashing in their eyes: "Greetings, Master!"

Dio looked down at the three people kneeling on the ground, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his golden eyes: "Very good, now go and call the others."

........................

Two days later, on a sunny mountain road.

Six members of the Demon Slayer Corps in black uniforms were on their way. Among the team, a blond boy was particularly conspicuous. He was walking lazily at the back.

"Oh, I'm so tired. Why do I have to walk such a long way?" Zenitsu Agatsuma muttered.

Suddenly, a yellow sparrow fell from the sky and pecked at Zenitsu's head.

"Ah! Juutarou, what are you doing!" Zenitsu dodged, holding his head. "It hurts, it hurts, stop pecking!"

At this moment, a black crow suddenly landed in front of the team, and the leader, Kamishiro Tsubaki, stretched out his arm and let it land on his hand.

The boy was a head taller than Zenitsu, with long black hair neatly tied behind his head and a black katana at his waist. Although he was young, his calm eyes were exceptionally steady, and he had obviously experienced many battles.

The crow shouted anxiously: "There are ghosts in the town in the south! A large number of people are missing!"

"What?" Kamishiro Tsubaki frowned, "That direction should be Qingye Town."

"Did you hear everything?" Kamishiro Tsubaki frowned slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes: "Change the itinerary and go to Qingye Town immediately."

“No! Brother Tsubaki!” Zenitsu’s face turned pale in an instant, and he hugged Kamishiro Tsubaki’s thighs: “It must be very dangerous there!”

"Let go!" Kamishiro Tsubaki tried to shake off Zenitsu, but the guy clung to him like a sticky candy. "You are a swordsman trained by Master Lightning Pillar himself, how can you be so cowardly!"

"It's because I'm a swordsman that I'm more afraid!" Zenitsu's eyes were filled with tears. "If we little shrimps go there, we'll definitely die!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Another team member stepped forward and grabbed Zenitsu's collar, "We are here to investigate this matter."

"Wow, I don't want to go," Zenitsu was dragged forward, "Why are there always such terrible missions?"

Kamishiro Tsubaki sighed and picked up Zenitsu: "Stop crying! Let's go and try to get to Aono Town before dark!"

He looked towards the south: "If there are really so many missing people, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

As the sun set, the group finally arrived at Aono Town, dragging Zenitsu.

Although there were pedestrians on the street, it seemed unusually deserted. People passing by were in a hurry and hardly looked at each other.

Kamishiro Tsubaki frowned and sniffed the air. "Strange. I don't smell any ghosts, but there is an indescribable strange smell."

"It's getting dark, let's go to the supply point first." The team member pointed to a building with wisteria flowers hanging on it not far away.

Several people came to the door and knocked gently, but no one answered.

After a moment, Kamishiro Tsubaki pushed open the half-closed door with the hilt of the knife in his hand, and a rich scent of wisteria filled his face.

The room was dimly lit, with only one electric lamp emitting a faint glow.

Behind the counter, a hunchbacked old woman was sorting items.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and said, "Welcome. I'm sorry that my hearing is not good and I didn't hear the knock on the door."

Kamishiro Tsubaki took out the token of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the old woman narrowed her eyes: "It's the adults from the Demon Slayer Corps, you came just in time. There have been people missing in this town these days, and everyone is in a panic."

Kamishiro Tsubaki looked around the room and noticed that the light was a little unnaturally dim. "Why don't you open a few more windows?"

"Alas, my eyesight is not good and I can't stand the strong light." The old woman sighed and stood up with her cane. "Please follow me, my lords."

Kamishiro Tsubaki quietly looked at the old woman. Although her eyes were cloudy, there was no sign of her becoming a ghost.

Moreover, the house is filled with densely packed wisteria flowers. With such density, no ghost within a radius of dozens of meters should be able to get close.

Although he was somewhat doubtful, he did not say much.

The old woman took them to a spacious guest room.

"Finally I can rest!" Zenitsu immediately collapsed to the floor, "I've been walking all day and my legs are about to break."

"Let's rest for a while." Kamishiro Tsubaki looked around. "Ghosts won't come out during the day. We'll act at night."

"Brother Tsubaki," the teammate said with a smile, "once you complete this mission, you will be promoted to a Class A swordsman."

Kamishiro Tsubaki shook his head: "It's too early to say that now. The current situation" he looked out the window at the darkening street, feeling a little uneasy, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."
