Chapter 38
Summary
When Dio sees Jonathan he realizes that Tarkus and Bruford have failed their tasks. Given this new opportunity, several of the surrounding zombies jump at the chance to kill Jonathan and please their master. However, Dio stops them says he would like to be the one to beat Jonathan himself. Jonathan is eager to confront his old enemy, but Dire intervenes stating that he has a right to fight Dio first being a long time friend of Zeppeli's. Despite Jonathan's attempt to warn him of Dio's flash freezing technique, Dire approaches him without a second thought.
Dire then uses his signature Thunder Split Attack and succeeds in straddling Dio's arms; however, before he can deliver the killing blow, the vampire flash freezes almost his entire body. Taking the opportunity to taunt Dire, Dio shatters his body leaving only his head in tact. Dio looks to Jonathan whom he intends to kill next only to be struck on the eye with a rose that was conducting a ripple. In his last moments Dire's head had landed in a rose planter and made a final attack on Dio. Dio then smashes Dire's head in anger at the scar he gave him.
