章節 721: The Devil Born in the Flame

Dio always thought that he wasn't a good person, but as he saw the woman getting raped in front of him, he couldn't help but feel his heart break! He immediately pulled out the [Reaper's Gaze] and chopped the mobs in half!

He stood aside as he watched the woman get up and silently handed a missing poster to Dio's hand. At that very moment, Dio could see a glimmer of hope in the woman's eyes. Not because Dio saved her, but because she wanted to know if Dio ever saw her daughter!

Dio knew the answer to her question, but sadly Dio didn't have the heart to tell the woman what happened to her daughter, so he just shook his head half-heartedly. The woman's head immediately fell as the hopes in her eyes faded as quickly as they appeared. She shuffled through the corpses and continued posting another poster in the distance.

Maybe she would face another danger in the corner, but she didn't care about herself right now. If she couldn't find her daughter, then there was no meaning to her existence anymore.

. . . . . . . . . .

As the night fell into the bustling city of Tokyo, Dio was staring at the street from the top of a building. He knew that he wasn't a saviour, and he was well aware that he couldn't save everyone! Heck, he couldn't even save the people that were close to him!

But he might be able to clean this city at the very least!

Dio jumped down to the street and immediately broke into a bar that was right in front of the building that he was just on. The people inside the bar were immediately thrown into disarray as they panicked to see someone busted the door.

The mobs immediately surrounded Dio from all sides, but Dio just smiled. He didn't use his translator anymore, so he couldn't understand what these people were saying. Alas, he didn't even want to hear what they had to say either, for he would just dirty his ears!

These people should all go to hell!

Dio pulled out [Reaper's Gaze] and immediately sliced anyone close to him and killed them all instantly! The blood splattered everywhere as the organs fell to the ground grotesquely. The people inside the bar suddenly went pale and fell to the ground in fear!

Dio didn't show any hesitation at all as he knew that the problems inside this country wouldn't be solved just by intimidating some politicians. He ought to get his hand dirty if he wanted to make sure this country didn't crumble!

Furthermore, Dio also needed a significant number of [Souls], so killing these bad people wouldn't be so bad! A few minutes passed, and the screams and wail inside the bar stopped, replaced by a strong metallic smell in the air! With the exception of several abused women, everyone else was already dead!

Dio walked towards the busted door and lit himself a cigarette as he enjoyed some moment of peace. The cold wind blew as the door was already busted, thus sending the smells of the blood into the distance!

When his cigarette was fully smoked, he finally left towards the darkness once again. Tonight, he still had a lot of places he ought to visit!

"One, two, he will come for you."

"Three, four, lock your door."

"Five, six, hold on to your sheets."

"Seven, eight, he will stop your breath."

"Nine, ten, you can't sleep."

"Are you ready? Your nightmare ... is here."

Accompanied by horrible nursery rhymes, the Yakuza Mobs throughout Tokyo were slaughtered, but not even one body was recovered that night! The only thing left was a strong smell of blood! If the moon were out tonight, it would be dyed in red!

When the sun rose and the shadows scattered from the light that shrouded the street, everything was silent! It was like a dead city here! Dio was already like a grim reaper himself as he would bring death and fear wherever he walked!

It was all thanks to Galaxy that he could continue killing without wasting his time on the street! He already slaughtered thousands of people in just one night! Dio wanted to count just how many people he had already killed, but in the end, he lost count as he killed too many!

The only thing that left Dio satisfied was the number of [Souls] in his panel. From the amount he got, it was obvious that those people that he had already killed earlier were all monsters!

At this rate, he would have enough [Souls] to revive Quicksilver! So, Dio found another reason to keep killing the Yakuza in Japan!

. . . . . . . . . . .

Eventually, a week has passed!

Now, Tokyo was like a ghost town. It was hard to see people staying on the street for too long. Even those who had to hit the street were seen rushing their feet out of fear of being caught by something. Various versions of what happened to the Yakuza circulated around the internet, and the news was like a wildfire. Even so, the rumours about Demon were the most prominent out of them all.

As for the Yakuza themselves, they have basically disappeared from Tokyo! Dio didn't let any of them live in the city as he hunted them down to every nook and cranny inside the city! [Reaper's Gaze] itself was already in perpetual red colour. Dio didn't know whether it was because it absorbed too much blood or if it were just another feature that he never knew about.

On the last day of his hunt, Dio was quite shocked that the Yakuza leaders finally joined hands and combined their forces to kill Dio, and so Dio was delighted as he finally used his Casket of Ancient Winter and froze all 20.000 mobs to death! There was no mob spared at all!

Dio was originally worried as he didn't know how long it would take to purge the Yakuza from Tokyo, but to his surprise, the Yakuza came to him themselves! Dio was thoroughly overjoyed as he could finish it all in one day! That was until he saw a body after killing the last mob.

At the corner of the street, an uncovered body was surrounded by flies with her eyes were full of resentment!

Dio walked over silently, picking up the posters that she held tightly in her hands. A cute little girl in a bright skirt was smiling warmly at the camera. Dio paused to look at the little girl's face before putting the posters inside his pocket. He then covered the corpse's body with the sheets nearby before walking away.

He didn't make any promise to the corpse as it wasn't his style. He summoned [Magician's Red] and quickly ordered it to burn the body. The fire danced behind Dio as he looked forwards to his own shadow that once in a while resembled a silhouette of the devil!
