"We just encountered Empress's user outside the room. She pretended to be injured and got blood on Kiana."
Raiden Mei remembered the important matter, holding the flowers wrapped with existing materials from the guest room, she said: "But we already cut it off. I don't know why, but Moon Shadow can harm Stands."
The name of that blade was Meitou Tsukikage. Takatsuki figured Raiden Mei probably understood it as Meitou: Tsukikage, but it wasn't a big deal. It was just a name, and it wasn't a weapon that needed True Name Release, so they could call it whatever they wanted.
"Then this is truly a peculiar discovery."
Things other than a Stand cannot harm a Stand; this is a rule of Stands. Joseph once suffered a great loss because of this setting when dealing with Empress, because his Stand didn't have active offensive capabilities, but it could use gravity to strangle a Stand to death.
However, fortunately, the Empress Stand's lethality was also basically very weak. The only disgusting thing about it was that it grew by utilizing nutrients from its host's body, and its connection to the host meant that if it was injured, the host would also feel the same pain, but that was all. It was like having a piece of flesh dug out of one's own body.
"Perhaps it's because this blade possesses a special power."
Takatsuki speculated, "In this world, besides Stands, there are no other supernatural powers. Hamon is life energy, and if vampires are just a type of creature, then a blade imbued with magic and Honkai Energy might both be able to harm a Stand."
Raiden Mei nodded, "But Empress seems to have grown faster than you said; it already took human form in just a few minutes."
"Tell me the details of your situation at the time."
Under Raiden Mei's narration, Takatsuki roughly understood the situation, but at the same time, he also felt that it was a bit troublesome.
Just as he thought, Kiana's physique had a significant impact on this incident. The Kaslana Family's genes contain the genes of fusion warriors. Although most of these genes are in a hidden state due to being passed down for many generations, the family's extraordinary vitality, recovery ability, and strength make their physiques different from ordinary people.
And the Stand nurtured by Empress on this physique was also more powerful than the original, though it's unknown if Honkai Energy had any influence in this.
Actually, Empress isn't a big deal; that person poses no real threat. The real threat is Dio, that guy who constantly develops his own potential. As a vampire, he has the characteristic of absorbing blood to strengthen himself.
In this world, among humans, the Joestar family's bloodline is quite special. In the original work, Dio did indeed become stronger after absorbing the Joestar family's blood.
What if he absorbed the blood of someone with genuinely superhuman physical abilities?
"It's nothing serious. More importantly, let's go find Joseph and the others. I just got some clues from Yellow Temperance. Jotaro and the others should be fine, but Joseph might have trouble coping."
However, when the three arrived at the entrance of Joseph's room, they just happened to encounter two people crashing out of the room.
"Oh! Miss Raiden Mei, you've come at just the right time! Quickly treat Mr. Joestar."
Avdol showed a surprised expression upon seeing Raiden Mei, and Raiden Mei immediately treated the two without a word.
"I didn't expect Dio's subordinates to attack so fiercely. Were you attacked?"
Joseph asked after moving his body to confirm he was fine after being treated.
"I was attacked by Yellow Temperance, and Kiana and the others were attacked by Empress. I interrogated for information. This time, the enemies are Devil, Hanged Man, Emperor, Empress, and Yellow Temperance. We've already dealt with ours, but who was it on your side?"
Looking at the messy room, with water, juice, alcohol, broken glass, melted mirrors, and scorched cabinets, it was clear that a major battle had taken place.
"We were also attacked by Devil and Hanged Man. Now that I think about it, the one who shattered the glass at the beginning must have been Emperor."
Avdol thought for a moment and said, and Joseph also nodded, "First, he shattered the glass to attract us, then Hanged Man infiltrated using the broken glass, and Devil caused destruction in the room to create an environment for Hanged Man, as well as using alcohol to limit Avdol's flames."
"However, they underestimated my Magician's Red. My Magician's Red can freely control the burning and temperature of flames. Mere alcohol, it's easy not to ignite it."
"I wonder how Jotaro and the others are doing. Speaking of which, all the attacking enemies should have been here with us."
While they were talking, Raiden Mei had already used Crazy Diamond to restore the entire room, to prevent any accidents if someone came over later.
"Then let's go find them. Also, Polnareff is gone. Yellow Temperance disguised as him and entered the hotel with us. He was probably tricked by Hanged Man."
"Indeed, with Polnareff's personality, that would certainly happen."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Joseph, why don't you just use Hermit Purple to locate Polnareff? Although I don't think he'd be willing to come back."
"You're right, Hanged Man and Emperor are still outside, and Polnareff alone would indeed be very dangerous."
Pouring the water from the vase onto the table, Joseph placed his hand on it.
"Hermit Purple!"
The water stains on the table defied the laws of physics, forming a map of the nearby area.
Looking at the constantly moving drop of water on the map formed by water stains, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "At least he's still alive, and he hasn't run too far."
Everyone nodded. Since he was still alive, there was no need to rush. Polnareff was also a seasoned warrior, and he had information on the enemy.
By the time they arrived at Jotaro's room, Jotaro was still engaged in a battle of wits with the air. After Takatsuki told him what Yellow Temperance had done, he pulled his hat down to hide his embarrassment.
"Yare yare."
This made everyone laugh.
"Huh? Mr. Joestar? Takatsuki? Why are you all here? Did something happen?"
Hearing the laughter, Kakyoin, who had just put on his clothes and came out of the bathroom, looked curiously at everyone gathered together and asked.
"It's nothing, nothing. We were just attacked by Stand users, so we came to check. But it should be safe for now."
Joseph didn't expose his grandson's embarrassment and smoothed things over, "Alright, since that's the case, everyone go back and rest first. We'll gather in my room in an hour."
Everyone nodded. This time, they could truly relax.
