    Chapter 223 Obtaining the Light Ring!

    In the Western Wilderness, a lone figure walked along a solitary road, and in the distance, the outline of a town could be faintly seen on the horizon.

    “It’s a bit of a problem, this… ability is quite troublesome.” Kars’ face was grim, with one hand pressed against his chest, as if the wounds carved by swords were slowly but steadily expanding.

    He had already switched to dozens of Doppelgangers or clones, but could only delay the onset of his injuries, and couldn’t completely recover.

    “My life energy is almost depleted, I need to supplement enough energy… I can feel it, if I switch bodies about ten more times, I should be able to get out of this state.”

    “First, I’ll make some Stone Masks, and food… is also running low.”

    Kars, covering his chest with one hand, walked towards the town ahead, time was pressing, he had to remove his injuries and obtain a Stand before Kuzuki became a Human Immortal.

    ·············

    On the other side, after repelling Kars, Kuzuki followed his intuition and searched, stopping at an apartment where time had stopped.

    With his spiritual energy scanning, Kuzuki quickly found Hal’s location.

    Hal, who didn’t expect someone to find him so quickly, was in a relaxed state, both emotionally and in terms of his Qi, in Kuzuki’s intuition.

    Through the thick walls, Kuzuki accurately locked onto Haru’s location and walked towards him at a steady pace.

    As he drew closer, Kuzuki made his judgments.

    The opponent didn’t react to his approach, yet could sense and escape beforehand, clearly possessing some kind of wide-range scouting method, but couldn’t maintain it at all times.

    Kuzuki faintly emitted an intent to kill, like invisible ice needles stabbing towards Hal.

    Lying on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper and drinking cola, Hal suddenly shivered, scratched the back of his neck which had goosebumps, and wondered: “Why do I suddenly feel cold, is the window not closed?”

    The chill that seeped into his bones came fast and left fast.

    Soon after putting on a jacket, Hal walked toward the bedroom.

    Today he made a decision he’d never made before, to become a Super Hero.

    Although he eventually escaped, he still took down one villain.

    Destroying the SPW Corporation headquarters and killing someone right in front of Hal, Absolute was a supervillain.

    It was like a scene from a Comic, with Justice defeating Evil, everything went smoothly.

    Except for that Newly Appeared Enemy.

    Because the Lamp of Life consumed too much energy, Hal had to retreat at that moment to avoid defeat.

    Looking back, Hal had a few doubts.

    “That Guy might not be an Enemy. Although he flew towards me, there’s no proof he was coming for me. Well, the first time using the Light Ring, I was a bit cautious. I didn’t need to Leave so quickly. With the Light Ring Flight Speed, no one could catch up to me.”

    Revisiting the day’s encounter, Hal took the Light Ring off his finger and stared at it in his palm.

    He had possessed this magical artifact for a while, but today was the first time he truly used it.

    The magical performance that was just like in the Comics, and the power beyond imagination, deeply shocked Hal.

    As long as he utilized the Light Ring well, he would be Invincible!

    Power, wealth, fame, beauty… Things that ordinary people craved, were within Hal’s grasp!

    The previous idea of being a commoner seemed laughable in the face of this impact.

    With the Light Ring in hand, what else couldn’t he get?

    The boss who always bullied Hal would kneel at his feet and lick his shoes.

    The Beauty he had only dreamed of would take the initiative to climb into his bed.

    The neighbors who ignored Hal would worship him like the most ardent fan.

    Those luxury cars, watches, mansions, private jets, and yachts that were displayed in shop windows, priced beyond reach, would all become his.

    As long as Hal abandoned his previous silly ideas, embraced the Light Ring and used it, all these fantasies would become a predictable future!

    Hal had never felt so conflicted and pained as he did now.

    He had always been optimistic, but now he felt like he had anxiety and fear of choice, sitting uneasily, unable to decide.

    A peaceful life is what Hal desires, but being a renowned Super Hero is also what he wants; he can only choose one, so what’s the best option?

    Hal thought for a very long time, until an individual lost patience.

    “Excuse me, could you hand over the Ring in your hand?” a voice suddenly spoke up in the dimly lit room.

    “Who!?”

    Hal was startled and scared, jumping up from the edge of his bed.

    When he saw a figure he didn’t know when had appeared in his bedroom, he instinctively tried to put on the Ring.

    The temperature in the room dropped sharply, and Hal froze in a panicked pose, as if time had stopped.

    It was clear that Hal wasn’t actually frozen; from the cold sweat seeping out of his body and his trembling arms, his movements weren’t restricted.

    He wasn’t unable to move, he was just too afraid to.

    It was as if the scythe of the Grim Reaper was hovering over his neck, and any large movement would cause the scythe to move, cutting his throat; even though the Ring had reached his fingertips, Hal didn’t dare move it another centimeter to put it on.

    “A keen intuition.”

    Kuzuki’s words were always calm, even when giving praise, which felt more like stating a fact than actual admiration.

    Before entering Hal’s residence, Kuzuki had already concluded through his intent to kill and Hal’s reactions that he was just an ordinary person with a bit of luck.

    Taking the Ring from Hal’s hand, Kuzuki examined it, his fingers wrapped around it.

    It looked like a cheap plastic toy that could be bought for 2 bucks at a street stall, with an ordinary design; the only unusual thing was the strange symbol on the Ring that occasionally flashed with a faint light.

    “Will you kill me?”

    Hal’s face turned pale.

    “Why would I kill you? Do I need to kill you to take the Ring?”

    “Uh, of course not…”

    Seeing that Kuzuki didn’t intend to silence him, Hal’s courage grew slightly, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, asking in confusion: “Are you from the Green Lantern Corps, like in comics?”

    Kuzuki calmly turned his head and glanced at him, saying: “No, it has nothing to do with that.”

    With the green Light Ring in hand, the next step was to obtain the yellow light or illumination.

    After answering Hal’s question, Kuzuki didn’t linger, preparing to leave; as he reached the door, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

    “Wait!”

    Kuzuki turned around, gazing at Hal with a puzzled expression, his eyes narrowing like those of a cornered Assassin from the streets of Karakura.

    Hal seemed to have made up his mind, clenching his fists tightly as he asked, “Can you tell me, how can I enter your world, The World?”

    From the moment he obtained the Light Ring, Hal had considered the possibility of losing it, as the saying goes, “When one’s abilities exceed their moral character, disaster is sure to follow.”

    Hal was just an Ordinary Person, yet he possessed the coveted Light Ring, which not only granted him unimaginable Strength but also drew unimaginable danger, much like the will of the Grail from the Holy Grail War.

    Kuzuki’s appearance was proof of this, like a Servant summoned by the Grail.

    Even if Kuzuki hadn’t appeared, others, including Stand Users and Pillar Men, would eventually be drawn to the Light Ring, like moths to a flame, their desires and interests ignited.

    So, when Kuzuki appeared and unleashed his Bloodlust, Hal didn’t resist; instead, he let Kuzuki take the Ring, for he knew that keeping the Ring was one thing, but resisting its fatal allure was another, a test of his resolve, like a hero facing their greatest challenge.

    “Indeed, once you’ve been a Hero, you’ll never refuse again,” Hal’s gaze grew resolute as he said, “I want to enter your world, The World, and learn how to become as strong as you; consider it the price for taking the Ring.”

    Kuzuki looked at him coldly and said, “If you were anyone else, you’d be a corpse by now, a mere sacrifice to the whims of fate.”

    “If I were anyone else, I wouldn’t have had the chance to make this request, would I?” Hal replied, his words laced with a hint of determination, like a Master negotiating with their Servant.

    Able to remain rational in the face of overwhelming temptation, with sharp intuition and exceptional mental fortitude, Hal might become a formidable Stand User if he could harness his potential, a true warrior like those from the world of DanMachi.

    After a moment’s thought, Kuzuki said, “As far as I know, there’s only one way to become a Stand User: being shot by the arrow, a method fraught with uncertainty and danger, much like the trials of the Dungeon; if you’re certain, you can go to Egypt and find a woman named Mitra, who possesses the arrow.”

    “Stand User… the arrow…”

    Kuzuki didn’t wait for Hal to process the information; he turned and left, leaping out of the window like a bird taking flight, disappearing into the night, his figure swallowed by the darkness.

    Hal stood at the door, watching Kuzuki’s back vanish into the night, his eyes burning with a fierce flame, like the passion of a hero embarking on a quest.

    “Egypt, then… I’ll buy my ticket tomorrow, and begin my journey, like a brave adventurer from the world of Orario.”

    ···············

    Kuzuki, however, didn’t need a ticket; after leaving Hal’s apartment, he headed directly towards the eastern coast, his movements as swift and mysterious as those of a Servant from the world of Fate.

    The well-lit Washington Harbor, Kuzuki was like a Ghost, drifting through the dark alleys, avoiding unnecessary attention, and smoothly infiltrating the target… an oil tanker crossing the ocean.

    Kuzuki hid in the captain’s quarters, relaxing his body while listening to the surroundings with his ears.

    Suddenly, as if intuition or sensing something, Kuzuki’s gaze turned to the southwest direction.

    “Hm? The Fist Intent has been erased…”

    Previously, Kuzuki had a fight with Kars, and after experiencing his super strong recovery ability, he decisively used his newly mastered Killing Fist Intent to blow him away.

    He thought that Kars would die under the constant entanglement and erosion of the Killing Fist Intent, but unexpectedly, he survived.

    “It’s somewhat interesting.”

    Kuzuki, with a expressionless face, withdrew his gaze and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

    That man called Kars was indeed a bit troublesome, but his threat wasn’t that big of a deal; even with his incredible recovery ability, being able to revive from a drop of blood, what’s the point if one punch can kill the Undying, just come at him with another punch, a thousand punches, ten thousand punches, and he’ll eventually die.

    However, another individual was different.

    That man called Dio, Kuzuki was very familiar with his Stand ability and genuinely found it troublesome.

    It was an ability that could stop time, too abnormal.

    “The current advantage is that the enemy is in the open while I’m in the dark, Dio doesn’t know my true strength, so if possible, I’ll use my full power to kill him from the start.”

    Dio’s ability had a global range, meaning there was no such thing as dodging or avoiding it.

    The safest method would be to kill him before he could activate his ability.

    For Kuzuki’s speed, achieving this wasn’t difficult.

    “Open the Seventh Gate, my movement speed can temporarily exceed ten times the speed of sound; considering Dio is a vampire, his physical abilities far surpass those of a normal human, so I won’t be able to assassinate him from 3 kilometers away, as his reaction time would be too long, a whole second.”

    “We need to get close enough, 3 hundred meters should be feasible, but opening the Seventh Gate or portal will cause a huge commotion, and at 3 hundred meters, the enemy will definitely notice, this distance won’t work…”

    “Suppress all Breath, and after getting close enough, even if we use Hokuto Shinken (Fist of the North Star) for assassination… it won’t work, the enemy is extremely alert and only allows trusted individuals to approach.”

    “Wait… Dio is a vampire, and during the daytime when the sun is out, he usually doesn’t show himself, instead, he hides in his coffin and sleeps, if we can infiltrate his residence, maybe we can succeed!”

    Kuzuki continued to think of ways to kill Dio, and his plan was gradually taking shape.

    However, there was still much uncertainty, if everything goes according to the original plot, Kuzuki would have many chances to kill Dio, but the problem is that the Variable Source represented by the Yellow Light might be in Dio’s hands, and that variable is too great.

    What if it’s not the Yellow Light Ring, but something else?

    And even if it is the Yellow Light Ring, the variables it adds are too many, no one knows how the Yellow Light Ring, which represents Fear, will function in Dio’s hands, will Dio still rely on his Stand’s ability after obtaining the Light Ring?

    What if the Light Ring and Stand produce a chemical reaction, and create an even more extraordinary Ability?

    Kuzuki took out the Green Lantern Ring and placed it on his palm.

    As soon as he put the Ring on his left middle finger, the Ring perfectly merged with him, and Kuzuki heard a faint calling in his ear, as if it was summoning him to remember his mission.

    Among the intermittent whispers, Kuzuki only managed to make out a few words.

    Daybreak…,….;

    ……, nothing….

    Evil…, fear… god…;

    …eternal,…Light!

    At the same time, the strange symbols on the surface of the Ring began to flicker with light, but the Ring, like a light bulb that had been tampered with, flashed a few times before completely extinguishing.

    “Doesn’t meet the standards? Or is the remaining energy too low?”

    Kuzuki didn’t know much about the Light Ring, and he’d never even heard of its oath, but he recalled that it needed a corresponding God Lamp to charge up.

    It was more likely that he didn’t meet the Light Ring’s requirements.

    After taking off the ring and putting it away, Kuzuki didn’t show any signs of disappointment.

    He hadn’t pinned his hopes on the Green Lantern Ring anyway.

    He just wanted to see if it worked.

    If it did, it could be a handy Flight Tool, since Hal had casually accelerated his Flight Speed to Mach 7 or higher when using the Light Ring, making travel a breeze.

    If the Light Ring didn’t work, he’d just use the Assassination Book.

    Only the Assassination Book was Kuzuki’s true, absolute reliance!
