Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

"Hello everyone, thank you very much for your patience for this new chapter, as I had mentioned previously, the delay is partly due to my lack of editor and style corrector, you will probably notice a little change in style in general, but I hope your like it, I especially want to say thanks the user DaoistZy9aIH, He's kindly decided to collaborate in the correction, editing and translation. I hope to get back to the lost rhythm soon!"

Giorno lunged at Sir Fausto in a direct attack, without strategy or calculations of any kind, a blow driven entirely by anger as he remember how that stupid human has abused and murdered his master in the other world, "mother wolf..." thought.

His laugh and that look, every feature of his disgusting face was undoubtedly the same as that day, at that moment he was only a simple and defenseless goblin, so... the only thing he could do was writhe like a worm while that bastard did unspeakable things to him to his beloved and respected master, but right now he wasn't longer that damned helpless goblin.

Giorno wasn't someone irrational, although there was the possibility of confusing his face, something he could never forget was his energy, so putrid energy that permeates the entire environment into death. However, he stopped his blow instantly and suddenly a woman appeared who came between Giorno and Fausto, it' about the mayor's fiancee, Elizabeth.

Although being invaded by anger, Giorno had not completely lost his mind, he wanted to kill Sir Fausto, but Elizabeth intimidated him enough to have stopped his attack instantly.

Although it didn't finish there, where did that woman come from? Giorno was attentive to his surroundings, especially since he knew that the damned Fausto had a partner; but Elizabeth entered at that moment at a speed that far exceeds that of the human, who was she really? On her side, Elizabeth gave him a look that told him "don't be an idiot and stay put."

Although it didn't finish there, where did that woman come from? Giorno was alert to his environment, especially since he knew that the damned Fausto had a partner; but Elizabeth entered at that moment at a speed superior to the human, who was she really? but Elizabeth gave him a look that told him "don't be an idiot and wait."

In a subtle way he raised his eyes to the roof of the mansion, Giorno shuddered when he saw around the roof about 50 female silhouettes, located in strange positions, this reminded him of the dolls in the puppet theater; Each one emanate an aura equivalent to the level 20 monster in the other world, at that moment those figures represented a threat as they were stronger than Giorno, if they attacked him, he would never gone a chance to win.

While Giorno noticed the guards that protect Sir Fausto, he contemplated the scene with a smile, at the same time that he wondered.

- "Why has the host tried to attack me like that?"

Although it did not really surprise him, he had a slight idea of what happened, over the years he had created so many beautiful dolls, it is not surprising that some family member or lover who was allowed to live will attack him as soon as he sees him, the funny thing is that he used to remember the faces of those people, but Giorno's was not at all familiar.

The purpose of leaving those people alive, apart from torturing them of course, was so that at some future moment he would try to take revenge against him, just as at this precise moment, there was nothing more pleasant and that he enjoyed more, these moments where anger it was reflected in the blazing eyes of his enemies as they believed for a moment to have hope and finally to be able to take revenge, and then fell into despair when they realized that it was impossible for them to defeat him.

Once one of his pawns had asked him why he always allows someone to live, his answer was simple.

- "What fun could a game have without enemies?"

Suddenly Elizabeth spoke to him, bringing him to reality suddenly.

- What do you want?

The peculiar Russian accent of the woman had always seemed beautiful to Sir Fausto, it was a pity that his wrists could not speak, otherwise just because of that sweet voice he would have already made her one long ago.

Fausto walked in a mocking way avoiding Elizabet and with a friendly smile indicated.

-Let me introduce myself, I am Sir Fausto Osler, owner of Osler Pharmaceutical and this man is Alessandro della Spina, owner of Spina Sport a prestigious sports eyewear brand, we are in awe of your product and we would like to be the owners of the formula.

Elizabeth, annoyed, looked at him and almost yelled at him.

- We know who you are! What do you want?

- I thought I was clear, I said I want to be the owner of the formula.

- You don't fool me, tell me what you really want, Fausto.

Sir Fausto illustrated a huge smile, of course that woman understood him better than anyone, it was a shame that she was so vulgar and unpleasant, otherwise she would be an excellent doll, raising her shoulders with a continuous relaxed attitude.

- Then I will speak even more clearly, how did you manage to bring or replicate a potion from the other world in this Elizabeth, do not give me stories that it is something chemical, both you and I know perfectly well that it is not like that, I don't really know what you are playing , but I will be happy to ruin your plans and if in the process I can obtain the method to create these potions it would be fantastic.

Giorno had already calmed down a bit, stood up and walked straight to Sir Fausto and spoke to him looking into his eyes.

- I could tell you how we get those options, but wouldn't that be very boring?

Giorno adjusted his suit and continued

- Or you can wait six months, until they have everything ready, only until then try to ruin my plans, as he just said, of course if he can.

- Who is this tiny guy who is inviting me to play?

Giorno got even closer to him and with his eyes full of anger he answered him.

- This tiny guy in front of you will be the one that makes you pay for all your crimes, you damn white wizard.

- Excellent…

Fausto gave a huge smile and with great joy continued.

- Then I will ruin those stupid and absurd plans that you have, I will take care of killing them all as if they were simple animals, I will send each one of you and your families to hell, what's more, as compensation if you manage to make me have fun I will convert all the women who know from that little girl to that fabulous architect on my dolls ...

Fausto's face instantly received two powerful blows, so swift and sudden that it was impossible for the dolls to protect the master from him. This time it was not only Giorno who could not bear it and decided to attack Fausto, Aron had moved with a speed that even surprised Elizabeth, Fausto fell to the ground with almost all of his teeth broken as dozens of horrifying puppets fell around him. his master waiting for the order to kill.

Both Giorno and Aron were prepared to fight and die, without a drop of fear on their bodies, they say in unison.

-DON'T PUT VIVIAN IN ALL THIS!

Fausto stood up while checking that not only his jaw but also his nose was broken, but as if it were a magic trick his face healed in seconds, while Fausto's puppets as fast and agile as felines began the attack against their prey.

However, Elizabeth cut them into hundreds of pieces with impressive ease, which made Fausto stop them, although they were his less special dolls, each one was unique and losing them uselessly did not please him, also the following thing that Elizabeth said was completely true.

- Even if you send all your dolls you will not be able to defeat me in your current state Sir Fausto.

She sighed as he brushed her hair back with his hand.

- I think for the first time we understand each other.

Fausto bowed to the three people and said goodbye to them.

- It has been a pleasure, I just hope they are worthy rivals and can have fun, for my part I guarantee that the auction will be completely destroyed and all who attend will be killed by me in a carnage so magnificent that it will make the dead ladies look like a simple insignificant accident.

Fausto withdrew next to the lookout, while Giorno watched the mayor's fiancee.

- Who are you really?

I ask the woman.

- I suppose at this point it no longer makes sense to try to hide the truth. My name is Elizabeth Machiavelli, I am from the main branch of the Machiavelli family and I am the sister of someone I am sure you know, someone they call the great devas.

Giorno knew him perfectly, that guy was the one they called the king of humans, the most powerful of the heroes that had existed in the other world and whom he was sure he had murdered.

- I don't understand…

Giorno was confused, so much so that he even felt dizzy. All the sacrifices he went through in the other world to free them from human tyranny, had it served any purpose? What exactly was the other world? Who really were those monsters called heroes?

- I understand that you have many questions Giorno, I also have several, but I think it is better that from now on we talk in private.

Elizabeth looked at Aron who felt alluded to and answered him.

- That won't be possible.

Elizabeth looked at him annoyed, he continued speaking.

- I do not understand half of what they are talking about, but if I understand one thing, they have just threatened us with a massacre, where it is possible that my family is affected and I do not want to see little Vivian cry for the death of her father or worse for her to be involved in this, so even if I don't understand what's going on, I'll do whatever it takes to protect the people I care about.

Giorno put his hand on Aron's shoulder and told him.

- You don't understand, those monsters are not human, I know you felt their aura, there is no way for a human to face them.

Elizabeth noticed Aron, he was an extraordinary human, a war of gigantic proportions is coming, the more elite soldiers he could have the better, so looking at Giorno he said.

- There is still much you don't know Giorno, about the other world, about the truth behind Tezert, I think that if your friend is willing to go through hell from now on, it is possible that we can avoid that massacre.

-He starts talking in that case.

- Sure, but first we need one more person in this meeting.

- Someone else?

- Yes and it is not exactly my favorite person.
