Chapter 264: Steve
"Ah?"
Hearing Fang Mo's words, Speedwagon finally came to his senses and stopped his commentary: "Mr. Jonathan? Mr. Teacher?"
"Mr. Speedwagon, it's good that you're alright."
Jonathan also slightly relaxed upon seeing this: "I just saw you faint in the fountain, you must have been seriously injured, but now you're fine, it was the teacher who saved you."
"No wonder I don't feel any pain at all, is this the power of magic? It's just like a dream." Speedwagon incredulously looked at his own body, and hurriedly thanked Fang Mo: "Thank you, Mr. Teacher."
"After all, commentators aren't killed in battles between armies."
Fang Mo smiled and waved his hand: "Just remember to find a safe place for commentary next time."
"I've been wanting to ask since a while ago, what exactly does this commentary refer to..." Speedwagon couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this some kind of story? Mr. Teacher, why don't I understand it?"
"It's magical jargon, it's normal that you don't understand it."
Fang Mo said: "Basically, it means that you've done well. Jonathan indeed lacks someone like you by his side. I appreciate what you've done."
"Is that what it means?"
Hearing Fang Mo's words, Speedwagon also scratched his head a bit sheepishly: "I... I'm not as excellent as you say. I was just inspired by Mr. Jonathan's courage and belief, and wanted to help him from my heart. I know I still have many shortcomings, like my strength is far inferior to yours."
"It's okay, what does a commentator need fighting strength for? You are invincible when you commentate."
Fang Mo comforted him with a smile: "If it really doesn't work out, you still have your hat trick, right? Just do that a few more times."
"That's just a despicable sneak attack. Since it hurt Mr. Jonathan, I've already thrown that hat away. From now on, I want to fight alongside him openly and honorably."
Speedwagon said.
"Oh, you threw it away?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo also subconsciously nodded.
The so-called hat trick was actually a stunt Speedwagon performed once in the original story. It's called the 'Hat Throwing Knife', where the brim of a top hat is replaced with a blade, and then the hat is thrown at the enemy like a boomerang.
Fang Mo thought Speedwagon could only perform this stunt once in his life.
Now it seems like he threw it away voluntarily.
"Mr. Speedwagon."
And while the two were talking, Jonathan also started speaking: "Since you've woken up, let's leave this place first."
"Where are we going?"
Speedwagon asked: "Are we going to find that demon Dio?"
"Not yet."
Jonathan couldn't help but say, "I'll wait until my father wakes up and then give him a grand funeral."
"Oh, then we must hurry... wait, what?"
Speedwagon thought he had heard wrong and stared in confusion, "Wait for Mr. Joestar to wake up and then hold a funeral for him? What... What is this? A live burial?"
"Of course not!"
Jonathan immediately said, "This is just a magic ritual to avoid my father's fate of death. We need to put a substitute in the coffin and hold a funeral to escape the curse of fate. This is the method my teacher told me."
As he spoke, Jonathan pointed behind Fang Mo.
"Huh?"
Because it was dark, Speedwagon didn't notice George at first, until Jonathan pointed it out. He then saw the two Georges behind Fang Mo, and was completely stunned, "Two Mr. Georges!? My goodness... Aren't you afraid of mixing them up?"
"Of course, I am afraid."
Jonathan said, "So we have to go to the hospital first, and after my father wakes up, I will tell him about this myself."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Speedwagon was relieved, "You really scared me. Worthy of the legendary mysterious mage, every moment seems to challenge the limits of my knowledge and cognition. But this is good... With you involved, Dio should not be a threat anymore."
"I'm sorry."
However, to Speedwagon's surprise, Fang Mo suddenly shook his head, "I do not intend to take action this time."
"Nani!?"
Speedwagon was shocked and blurted out, "Mr. Mage, why do you say that? Do you know what Dio has become? He can instantly drain people's vitality! This guy has turned into a complete monster!"
"Do you want me to take action?" Fang Mo looked at Speedwagon, suddenly showing a mischievous smile.
"Of course!"
The young Speedwagon, not yet realizing the seriousness of the situation, immediately nodded, "Your magic... can kill that monster in an instant, right? This is also a good opportunity for you to clean up the mess!"
"..."
Fang Mo didn't speak, but just raised a finger and aimed it at a distant cliff.
The next second, an ominous arc flashed, and a dark purple murky orb appeared at his fingertip, followed by a terrifying beam of light shooting straight towards a nearby mountain.
There was a loud boom, and half of the mountain disappeared.
However, the beam of light did not show any sign of stopping, continuing to fly diagonally into the sky, drawing a dazzling white light in the atmosphere, and finally disappearing at the end of the sky.
"Uh... uh...!?"
Not just Speedwagon, Jonathan, and Erina, but even Danny, crouching on the ground and wagging his tail, was scared silly. His tail clamped up, and he lay trembling on the ground, whimpering.
"I guess Dio is probably hiding in some nearby place?"
Fang Mo stroked his chin, deliberately speaking to himself, "Hmm, I'll fly over there and fire a shot like that, ensuring that Dio and the stone ghost mask disappear into smoke together. What do you think?"
"Teacher, let's just forget it."
Jonathan was the first to react, quickly advising, "Dio harmed my father, and I plan to settle this grudge personally. Please do not intervene. I can defeat him."
"What an outrageous scene!"
Speedwagon, upon seeing this, couldn't help but tremble with excitement and began to comment, "It's like a bizarre painting that could only appear in dreams. Compared to this unbelievable sight before us... Dio, that monster, seems so insignificantly small, having chosen to betray his own teacher. What a foolish guy! He hasn't realized that he's lost the greatest support of his life!"
Erina, however, didn't speak, but her dramatically shaking pupils said it all.
Honestly, it was only at this moment that Erina realized something truly terrifying: not the vampire, not Dio, not even fate, but the mysterious and unpredictable mage before her.
Whether it's supernatural beings or cunning plots, everything seems like a joke in his presence. The sword he casually gifted her holds the power to destroy the world. Erina had tested it over the years; it could truly create tsunami-like hot springs, capable of engulfing everything in this world.
Nobody knows how many more tricks he has up his sleeve, how many secrets he's hiding.
After all these years, his appearance shows no signs of aging. Can the legendary mages really achieve this?
Or is it something only gods can do?
Erina suddenly thought, he seems to have some kind of prophetic ability and has been trying to prevent those futures from happening. But why does he do this? Honestly, Erina couldn't quite understand.
Could it really be just because Jonathan is his disciple?
But isn't Dio his disciple too?
"Why are you always persecuted?"
"Hmm?"
Fang Mo noticed Erina's expression and smiled, "Surprised by the power I've shown?"
"Indeed... it's very astonishing..."
Erina hesitated before nodding.
"Do you know why I'm really here?"
Fang Mo smiled. He wasn't a fool and had seen the doubt on Erina's face. He asked directly, "Do you think it's strange that I help you without asking for anything in return?"
"I..."
Erina hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Actually, I greatly admire the Joestar bloodline." Facing a sweet girl, Fang Mo was more patient: "Not just Jonathan, but also you and his descendants. Although they're not very serious people, they unexpectedly all have hearts of gold. It's just that 'fate' is too annoying, even though I was caught off guard, so I decided to personally step in and confront this fate."
"Is that so?"
Erina subconsciously nodded, trying to slowly digest the information in Fang Mo's words.
"Alright, don't just stand here guessing."
Fang Mo waved his hand: "The Joestar mansion is now ashes, and the mountain I owned was also blown up. Anyway, for now, let's find a place to rest."
The group was somewhat speechless; he himself had caused the destruction of the mountain.
However, considering the mage's immense power, no one said anything. Led by Erina, they quickly headed to the neighboring city.
Yes, Erina no longer lived in the town.
A few years ago, her father made money and planned to open a larger hospital in the city, so their whole family moved to a farther place.
In fact, the reason Erina rushed over tonight was because of Danny. Danny often ran near the Joestar mansion to observe, although he didn't dare to enter, he still missed Jonathan. But tonight, he suddenly smelled blood and hurried back for help.
Then, Erina, with her demigod body, ran from the neighboring city in less than half an hour, her large skirt fluttering.
It only took Erina half an hour to arrive.
But it took Jonathan and the others three whole hours to walk there.
Fortunately, Erina's family's hospital was quite large. After entering, they first greeted Erina's father, and then settled George Joestar.
Speedwagon volunteered to take care of Mr. George and stayed in the same room with him.
As for Jonathan, he was somewhat restless.
Today he indeed lost a lot, but at the same time, he gained a lot. So now, he especially wanted to talk more with Erina, as the ordeal had brought them closer. It felt like they were ready to get married right away with a red bridal veil.
But just then.
An uninvited guest suddenly arrived /Bleam
