Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Chapter 779 Attrition

"Josuke-sensei! Please take my hand and help Jolyne with her treatment!" Anna Sui cried out urgently.

"Okay, Jolyne! We're coming right now!"

Anna Sui summoned his stand-in—[Sea General].

This is a blue-green body that looks like a humanoid dummy wearing diving gear, with countless "D" symbols on its body.

Its ability is to penetrate the interior of any object.

The Angry Sea Diver immediately burrowed into the ground and, as if swimming, quickly brought Anna Sui and Josuke Higashikata to Jolyne's side.

Upon arriving at Jolyne's side, Josuke immediately placed Crazy Diamond's hand in Jolyne's hand.

Crazy Diamond can even heal injuries caused by Stands!

This made Jolyne feel very reassured.

From a bloodline perspective, Josuke should be considered his maternal uncle.

She's so young, she probably isn't even married yet.

I always felt that the Joestar family's generational hierarchy was quite peculiar...

But now it's confirmed!

Jolyne said with a solemn expression, "Dio has a Stand, and he can use it, otherwise... he wouldn't be able to attack my 'Strings'! My 'Strings' is my Stand ability! Even if he can see them, without Stand intervention, he can't attack!"

“How could this be…” Cold sweat trickled down Anna Sui’s cheeks. “Jolyne, your ‘strings’ are incredibly strong. Even the White Serpent couldn’t easily break them. Has it evolved? It seems Dio’s Stand power is stronger than we imagined…”

“We can’t underestimate Dio,” Josuke said, looking at the torrential rain that obscured the view ahead. “We’re about 80… no, 90 to 100 meters away from Dio, barely outside his range. Thankfully, we didn’t rush in. But now we’ll have to think of other ways to hold Dio off until Jotaro arrives…”

"If I remember correctly, he was heading in the vicinity of that plane..." Anna Sui turned around, "The weather forecast, could you make the rain even heavier?"

"In the torrential rain, he can't tell which way to go," the weather forecast said. "But because of the distance, as long as he moves in one direction, he can get out of the area, unless the area of ​​rainfall is expanded, but then our visibility will also be obstructed."

"Can't we think of a way to reduce the rainfall here?" FF asked.

“Sorry, I can’t control my Stand with that much precision. Localized rainfall can only control the overall size, but… as long as I can hold him off, that should be enough, right? So… ‘Weather forecast’!”

Suddenly, a gust of cold air descended from the front, and the movement of this massive airflow was visible to the naked eye.

It began to rotate around the location of Dio, and the storm was affected by this cold air, which quickly froze.

Just seconds later, the area where Dio was located froze, forming a huge block of ice.

Ames: "Wow, that's amazing!"

FF: "That way, we'll freeze that bastard, right?!"

Emporio shook his head: "The opponent's Stand can stop time, and even if they don't leave the area of ​​the forecasted torrential rain within the few seconds of time stop, it's unlikely that they would be frozen by the power that can sever Jolyne's 'thread'."

When the white mist-like chill dissipated, everyone saw Dio's figure.

He was frozen in the ice, motionless.

"It's...it's a success! It actually worked!"

"Die, you bastard! Even if you use your Stand to strike the rain that has turned to ice, the rain will have already soaked your body before that happens. No matter how powerful your Stand is, it can't beat the cold air itself!!"

Seeing this, Ames and FF both shouted happily.

They finally trapped this guy.

When facing Dio, the weakness of close-range power-type Stands is that they cannot effectively utilize their abilities in open areas, because if they try to get close to Dio, he will stop time and then kill the people around him.

Unless someone can get close to him undetected and deliver a fatal blow.

Otherwise, even the X-ray bullets from Final Fantasy wouldn't be able to instantly kill Dio, who is a vampire.

"Hey kid... do you really think Dio's frozen?" Polnareff asked. "That Dio... would he be frozen so easily?"

Lu Ye sensed that something was wrong.

Just as the weather forecast said, even if you lose your way in the heavy rain, as long as you run in one direction, you will definitely be able to get out of the rain.

Because it was a torrential downpour, the weather forecast couldn't see from outside where Dio had run off to, so they couldn't keep the torrential rain falling on him.

"No...I don't think so," the weather forecast said. "It takes time for the cold air to freeze the rain into ice..."

“And Dio didn’t use that time to escape,” Emporio said. “If his Stand was usable, he had no reason not to escape.”

Ames shouted, "Jolyne, we're coming to you right away."

"No, don't come any closer! You're protecting the weather forecast, launching an attack from afar... I have a bad feeling about this!" Jolyne's expression was serious. "Dio couldn't have missed the cold air earlier and escaped; there's something fishy going on!"

“That makes sense…” Weather Forecast took two steps forward. “Although my Stand’s attack range is only about two meters, I can use my ability to delay Dio. We’ll find out soon enough whether that guy is frozen or not…! Jolyne, you guys find somewhere nearby to stand, anything away from the ground! Not directly in front of me!”

"it is good!"

Although I don't know what the weather forecast will do next.

Jolyne and the others ahead did not turn around. They arrived at the awning a few meters away. Jolyne used silk threads to tie the two ends of the awning frame, and then wove a net large enough for the three of them to stand on under her feet, like a flat hammock.

Going back is obviously not an option.

Since it's uncertain whether Dio's movements are actually restricted, we absolutely cannot expose our backs to him.

“Jolyne, Josuke, come closer to me, even closer…” Anna Sui said, “That way my ‘Sea of ​​Fury’ can infiltrate your bodies to protect you. I think I understand what Weather Forecast is trying to do. At this rate, no matter what Dio is pretending to be, he will have to take action! Once he starts his attack, those of us closest to him will be the ones to suffer.”

“Could it be…” Josuke seemed to understand something as well, his gaze towards the weather forecast becoming complicated, “The ability to manipulate the weather, that’s really ‘great’… I understand what he’s up to now.”

Josuke said, "I'll stand in front."

Jolyne was taken aback: "Wait a minute, but you..."

Josuke pressed down on Jolyne's shoulder, telling her not to speak yet.

“Anna Sui, although your Stand can protect all of our vital points, the range of protection is ultimately limited when it comes to protecting three people at the same time… If I get injured, I can’t heal myself. If my leg is broken or my hand is cut off, that would be great… Let me stand in front. Dio’s pause time should only be nine seconds… Luckily, Dio is far away from us. It will barely take nine seconds for him to get here. He will definitely attack me first… Besides, protecting juniors is the duty of elders!”

Jolyne was stunned for a moment, then felt a warmth in her heart.

“But, Mr. Josuke, I must remind you that protection is not absolute... At best, it can only be considered as using my Stand to take the damage for you, and it cannot completely block the damage... Let me do it, so that even if something happens to me, you can use 'Crazy Diamond' to heal me.”

Josuke's eyes sharpened: "You need to remember one thing: if you are instantly killed, even 'Crazy Diamond' will be powerless. Are you prepared for that?"

Anna Sui paused for a second, then shifted her gaze to Jolyne, and then looked at Josuke.

"Of course! Protecting important people is also my commitment!"

"Then it's up to you."

"This is the limit of distance. If Dio really launches an attack, he will definitely not be able to escape after nine seconds. He is unlikely to take such a big risk unless he is confident that he can kill all three of us at the same time."

After the three of them determined their positions.

The weather forecast stand-in appeared beside him, and then the rain began to pour down again.

The radius of this rainfall event was approximately two hundred meters.

Only the area around the weather forecast was unaffected by the rain; the rain avoided him and Lu Ye.

He knelt on one knee, his eyes fixed on Dio in front of him. Then, his Stand "Weather Forecast" raised its fist, and the clouds around the fist contained the power of lightning.

"It's...it's lightning!" Ames exclaimed in surprise. "They're using rainwater to conduct electricity to deal with the dio inside the ice?!"

"With a little effort, I can summon thunderstorms," ​​the weather forecaster said. "However, I can't make the lightning hit the exact spot I want, so this is all I can do."

FF said, "But, will Jolyne and the others be okay? Judging from the distance between them and Dio, and considering the nine seconds Dio paused, Dio can probably barely reach Jolyne and the others."

“Don’t worry, FF,” Emporio said. “Look at Jolyne and the others’ positioning. They must have considered this as well. Anna Sui is a few meters in front, so even if they are attacked, with that maximum distance and attack time of nine seconds, Jolyne and Josuke won’t be able to be attacked. If I were the other side, unless I was confident that I could kill all three of them at the same time, I wouldn’t risk being attacked by two Stand users with top-tier attack power.”

"Yes, FF, I'll also... add an extra layer of insurance!"

The weather forecast said that the cold air that had been there before was sweeping across the road again, and the road surface covered by rain was immediately covered with a layer of smooth ice.

"As expected of you, weather forecaster!" Ames said. "If the roads are icy, Dio's movements will be even more difficult!"

"Take this, Dio!"

The weather forecast slammed into the ground.

The lightning spread along the ice in an instant. Due to the speed of electrical conduction, Dio could only act the instant the weather forecast threw his punch, otherwise it would be too late.

The electric current swirled around the ice, and Dio remained within it.

Seeing this, the weather forecaster slowly stood up.

Everyone held their breath.

Was it successful?

While FF and the others were thinking this, Jolyne and Josuke broke out in a cold sweat.

...It was unsuccessful.

The lightning didn't even affect Dio.

The connection between the Joestar bloodlines told them... Dio is still alive!!

Suddenly, Jolyne and Josuke heard a dripping sound, like water dripping onto the surface of a tap that hadn't been turned off.

Jolyne looked toward the source of the sound and saw crimson blood dripping onto the ground along her silken threads. Following the source of the blood, she saw it was Anna Sui's chest.

A bloody flower bloomed on his chest, completely pierced through, a bloody mess, so much so that you could even see the scenery on the other side.

"Oooooooo!" Jolyne cried out in anguish, "What... what's going on!?"

Anna Sui was killed right before her eyes, and she didn't see anything at all!

Crazy Diamonds!

Josuke instantly summoned Crazy Diamond.

But it's no use anymore.

Anna Sui's heart... is completely destroyed.

Died on the spot...

"Dio...did Dio do it?" Ames cried out in horror, "But he's still inside the ice!"

"Didn't anyone see what just happened?" FF asked.

"How...how could this be?" Emporio's voice trembled. "Jolyne and the others were more than ninety meters away from Dio. The current world record for the men's 100 meters is 9.58 seconds, set by Usain Bolt of Jamaica on August 16, 2009, in Berlin. Even Dio could not possibly have returned to the ice after killing Anna Sui... In fact, if he could have done it, why didn't he kill Jolyne and Josuke together?!"
