Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 271: Steve Chapter 268

"They're all vampires?"

Jonathan showed a shocked expression upon hearing Zeppeli's statement, "Is Dio... creating companions?"

"These people look like the townsfolk."

Speedwagon also began to explain, "Look at their clothes, they're still wearing what they normally do for farming, but now they've turned into inhuman vampires. It seems Dio is even more insane than we thought. He's created more vampires using the Stone Mask. If even one of these vampires escapes..."

"The consequences would be unthinkable."

Zeppeli's face grew more solemn as he spoke.

"Mr. Steve."

After thinking, Erina turned to Fang Mo and asked, "Can you turn these vampires back into normal people? They must be innocent townsfolk, and if we turn them back, maybe we can get more information..."

"Sorry, vampires are different from zombies. They can't be turned back into humans."

Fang Mo shook his head, these vampires just looked like rank-and-file troops, and he certainly didn't want to waste his resources on them.

Moreover, the weak potion + golden apple really only works on zombies, a fact Fang Mo did not lie about.

"Is that so?"

After hearing Fang Mo's words, Erina sighed in pity, "Then there's nothing we can do..."

While the two were talking, Zeppeli tried to interrogate the vampires, but no matter how much they were pressured, even with the threat of Ripple, these vampires didn't reveal any valuable information.

They clearly had intelligence and thought.

Even when threatened, they would tremble in fear.

But even so, they did not betray Dio. Until the end, they didn't reveal any useful information and reluctantly turned into a puff of ashes in the Ripple.

"It seems Dio must be planning something."

After dealing with these vampires, Zeppeli spoke gravely, "The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes. There's no time, we must move."

"I think so too."

Jonathan nodded, his face showing reluctance, "This town... might have completely become Dio's sacrifice. I must stop this bastard before more tragedies occur."

Without delay, everyone quickly set off again.

After dealing with the zombies in the graveyard, it seemed like all attacks and malice disappeared. They walked along the riverside and soon arrived in the town.

However, as soon as they entered the town, they immediately noticed something was amiss.

Surprisingly, not a single house in the town was lit. After the sunset, the entire town was plunged into darkness in an instant. There was not a sound in this dead zone, eerily quiet to the point of being chilling.

"As expected... everyone in the town has disappeared..."

Upon seeing this scene, Jonathan couldn't help but clench his fists tightly: "Dio, what exactly has he done!?"

Realizing the tragedy that had befallen the entire town, no one wanted to speak anymore. The atmosphere among the group became noticeably more oppressive, except for Fang Mo, who still maintained his usual composure, while the others subconsciously clenched their fists.

After the group had walked for a while longer.

Suddenly, there were footsteps from up ahead.

Looking up, they saw two men walking towards them. One was tall and burly, while the other was well-proportioned and slender, with long black hair.

"Another enemy?"

Jonathan immediately took up a defensive stance upon seeing this.

However, before he could gather his Ripple energy, Zeppeli suddenly put a hand on his shoulder: "JoJo, don't be nervous, they are not enemies."

"Huh?"

Jonathan was slightly taken aback.

"Dire, Straizo, long time no see."

Zeppeli took a step forward, smiling and greeting the two men.

"Oh, Zeppeli."

The burly man, upon seeing Zeppeli, immediately softened his previously cold and stern expression, revealing a hearty smile: "Long time no see, you haven't changed a bit."

"Dire, you're not bad either."

Zeppeli also smiled in response: "You've come at just the right time."

"Yeah."

Straizo also started speaking: "After receiving your call for help, we rushed over immediately. We originally wanted to bring Master Tonpetty along, but he didn't come, only saying that he entrusted everything to us, this time fate is on our side."

"Is that so?"

Zeppeli also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Since Master Tonpetty has said so... then I can also rest assured."

"You mentioned a guy named Dio in your letter, he should be over there, right?" Straizo raised his hand and pointed to the castle not far away: "I can feel an astonishing evil, and an extraordinary vitality. It seems true as you described in your letter, the one with the stone demon mask is a wicked and cunning guy."

"We have already checked this town."

Dire also spoke solemnly: "There are no survivors here, everyone has suffered misfortune."

"Damn it..."

Jonathan bit his teeth in self-blame upon hearing this. If only he could have stopped Dio earlier, so many tragedies wouldn't have happened.

"Jojo, don't think too much now."

Zeppeli noticed Jonathan's expression and turned to comfort him: "Vampires feed on human blood, perhaps some humans are imprisoned in the castle as food. Don't let anger blind you, remember, courage is humanity's greatest weapon."

"Yeah, yeah."

Fang Mo also patted Jonathan on the shoulder after listening, encouraging him: "The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Go for it, Ollie give!"

Anyway, with the arrival of new reinforcements, the morale of the team improved a lot.

Since there were no enemies ambushing in the town, everyone walked quickly, and in just over ten minutes, they arrived outside the main gate of the castle.

This is a typical medieval castle, covered with various plants like roses due to disrepair, giving it a strange and dark Gothic atmosphere under the moonlight, almost like arriving at the castle of a demon.

Of course, the area of this castle is not large.

It cannot be compared with the castle of a demon.

"Next, we will face a tough battle, everyone be extra careful." In front of the castle gate, Zeppeli also reminded everyone: "Dio is a cunning guy, he might have set traps waiting for us to jump into."

"Don't worry, Zeppeli ."

Seeing this, Dire smiled and comforted: "We are Ripple warriors. As long as we work together, even a powerful vampire is not a problem."

After speaking, he pushed open the main gate of the castle.

However, in the next second, an incredulous expression appeared on his face, and cold sweat soaked his back instantly.

In the center of the castle's main hall.

Dozens of dark gun muzzles were pointing towards the outside of the door.
