Chapter 13
Summary
Jonathan, Speedwagon and the police officers are in awe of the fact that Dio is alive and well after having been pierced by several bullets earlier. Speedwagon tells the police to shoot Dio again; Jonathan too has picked up a pistol and points it at the monster telling him to stop his approach.
Though Speedwagon urges Jonathan to shoot Dio, he is ultimately unable to pull the trigger. As the vampire closes in, Speedwagon himself shoots a bullet through the right side of Dio's head, however, this does not kill him, or even slow him down. Dio then gloats that the Stone mask, and George's blood, have given him incredible power. Jonathan ponders Dio's words, wondering exactly how the mask had changed him, if that had indeed been the cause of his transformation.
Dio, suspended in the air by himself, pierces the forehead of another police officer with his fingers and proceeds to drink his blood, draining his life. He then throws the man into the rest of the police officers, who are killed and dismembered by the impact. One of the officer's leg hits Speedwagon in the arm and breaks it. Jonathan then takes a spear from a suit of armor in the foyer, preparing to fight the now inhumanly powerful Dio Brando.
