Chapter 42
Summary
When the boat is out at sea, Erina looks out to the ocean and sees a bird flying onto the railing of the ship. The single bird has separated from its flock and calls out; it is answered shortly by the appearance of another bird that broke away from the rest. Erina becomes emotional and runs over to hug Jonathan. Confused at first, Jonathan asks why she is distressed, but realizes they were merely tears of joy. The two decide to get something to eat and start heading down to the lower decks, but not before Jonathan hits his head on the doorframe.
At dinner, Jonathan encourages Erina to drink some wine, despite her having drank alcohol before. Slightly nervous at the prospect of drinking, Erina takes a sip and blushes afterward. Before Jonathan can say anything he spots Wang Chan from across the room and follows him out of the dining room.
Elsewhere, a Missionary Priest, Father Styx, is drinking alcohol and drops his crucifix into a metal grate nearby. He looks inside and, noticing that it connects with the ship's hold, makes his way downstairs. He spots the cross on the same ornate box the men were taking into the ship earlier. He takes a closer look at the box and notices that it is unlocked, but is instantly killed when the lock triggers and a gem flies into his head. Wang Chan runs into the room and throws open the coffin, revealing Dio's decapitated head. Jonathan soon arrives and confronts Dio. After a speech about taking over Jonathan's body, Dio releases a Space Ripper beam from his eyes, which tears through Jonathan's hands and straight into his neck.
