"That place... as long as I reach that place..."
Although nearly half of his body was missing, and even molten magma-like substances dripped from the severed parts, Rubber Soul was still alive.
It had to be said that the vitality of a zombie was truly strong.
Rubber Soul immediately severed the connection of his Stand on Kiana's body, saving his own life.
However, this was also thanks to Kiana's Hamon not being strong; if it were anyone else, this guy would have been completely vaporized instantly.
Because Kiana lacked patience, she hadn't practiced Hamon much, but her physical fitness and legendary bloodline allowed her, even as a complete beginner, to successfully use Hamon to defeat Rubber Soul.
"Don't run!"
After no longer needing The Hand for defense, Kiana could fully convert it into mobility.
While chasing rapidly, she continuously cut away the space in front of her to achieve a teleportation effect.
"Damn it! Just get to that place!"
Rubber Soul used Yellow Temperance like an extendable rope, flinging it out to stick to the wall and then pulling himself over.
Fortunately, his Stand was enormous, fully capable of supporting such use while also protecting his body from exposure to sunlight.
"Finally here!"
Looking at the mansion that was getting closer, Rubber Soul's eyes showed a look of ecstasy.
And Kiana was now chasing him from a few meters behind.
"Ah! Don't come over!"
A large mass of Yellow Temperance slime was flung in Kiana's direction, and at the same time, he used the inertia of the pull from the other side to fly towards the mansion gate.
Kiana hastily dodged this part of the Stand, which Rubber Soul had discarded like a pawn to protect his king, and saw Rubber Soul crash into the gate of a mansion with a loud bang.
"Ahhh! Finally! Lord Dio! Please eliminate these presumptuous ruffians!"
Rubber Soul lay sprawled on the ground. With only one leg and one arm, he couldn't even Stand up without the help of his Stand.
As he spoke, a figure appeared on the gate. Sunlight shone from behind it, and a shadow completely covered Rubber Soul.
It was a falcon, but both Rubber Soul and Kiana saw a human-like coldness in the falcon's eyes.
Pet Shop, a falcon that once soared leisurely through the Nile Valley, had been used for hunting a long time ago. It had a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and a falcon's eyes could precisely locate and tear apart a prey's weak points at such high speeds.
This falcon was the gatekeeper that Dio had subdued to guard his mansion.
In the land of Egypt, no creature could cross this hellish gate, guarded by it, without being discovered.
And as a gatekeeper, when facing a "traitor" who led enemies to the door...
"Hey! Pet Shop! Quickly! Quickly inform Lord Dio!"
Rubber Soul saw the shadow covering him and recognized Dio's pet.
Although he knew this was Dio's appointed gatekeeper and also a Stand user, in his eyes, a beast was a beast, incomparable to him.
"Never mind! I'll go report to Lord Dio, you stop that little girl!"
Wrapped in Yellow Temperance, Rubber Soul managed to Stand up by leaning on the door, but because his attention was on standing up, he didn't notice Pet Shop's cold eyes.
Meanwhile, Kiana behind him stopped. Although she couldn't understand the falcon's gaze, her intuition told her that the bird was very dangerous.
But...
Rubber Soul felt something was wrong.
The surrounding temperature seemed to be getting colder?
That's not right, he had already become a vampire, so why would he be afraid of the cold?
Before he could react, the Stand on his body reacted first.
Yellow Temperance suddenly became hard, and then...
Pfft!
"Ahhhhh!"
The Stand, Yellow Temperance, would change with stimulation, a change that Rubber Soul himself could not control. When exposed to high temperatures, it would splatter, and when exposed to low temperatures, it would solidify and form spikes.
But no matter what, the quantity of Yellow Temperance itself would not change.
And now, the Yellow Temperance wrapped around Rubber Soul's body was stimulated by the low temperature, forming a large number of spikes, impaling Rubber Soul like a porcupine.
"Ahhhhh! What are you doing!!"
Rubber Soul tried to look up, but the Yellow Temperance covering his entire body couldn't move. He could only look at the ground and see the shadow beneath his feet growing larger.
Kiana watched the scene in front of her in horror. Rubber Soul was fixed in place, and a huge ice cone was slowly forming in the air, then... it fell.
Boom!
A huge cold air storm swept through the street, and Kiana instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes.
When her vision returned, all she saw were the remnants of Rubber Soul's corpse, gradually turning to dust under the sunlight.
"How could this be..."
Although she also wanted to kill the guy who had completely betrayed humanity, she never thought that Rubber Soul would be killed by his own companion.
"Aren't you companions..."
Seemingly asking Pet Shop, and also asking herself, Kiana stood dumbfounded.
Pet Shop landed on a lamppost, looking down at Kiana.
Even though she saw a falcon in its gaze, Kiana felt that she was not seeing a bird, but a person, a monster.
Although not a Honkai Beast, Kiana felt that this thing was more terrifying than any Honkai Beast she had ever seen.
She quickly drew her twin guns.
Bang bang bang!!!
The sound of bullets colliding with ice cones and exploding rang out in the air.
Pet Shop let out a shriek and shot up into the sky from the lamppost like a rocket.
The distance instantly widened, beyond the range of even Ivory and Ebony. But even if the range was sufficient, it would be difficult to hit such a fast-moving falcon with bullets.
As a bird-type Stand user, its greatest advantage was its ability to fly, an accomplishment that humans spent thousands of years to achieve, a natural advantage for them.
Pet Shop's Stand could create low temperatures and ice cones, launching them like missiles. Attacking from above, it not only didn't lose kinetic energy due to distance but also increased its lethality due to gravity.
The massive ice cones were too large for small bullets to destroy.
The gatekeeper of hell, Pet Shop, demonstrated its absolute air superiority in front of Kiana.
