“Are you sure you are up to the task?” Stephen doubtfully asked as he rembered Dio as a trust funded man who paid Kristin to teach him a quick lesson on dicine. There was no way a man like that would be able to fight against the demon on his own!
“Stop asking such a stupid question and get out of here!” Dio said annoyedly. He gripped the [Reaper’s Gaze] on his hands as he readied himself to attack phisto at any given mont.
Seeing Dio’s confident attitude, Stephen then focused his attention back to the Dark Dinsion, where he had to deal with Dormammu sohow. But then Dio shouted, “Don’t include and this demon with your spell in there!” obviously, Dio rembered that Stephen would use the Ti Gem in there to ss up with Dormammu.
Stephen looked at Dio strangely as he never ntioned his plan, but it seed Dio already knew what he was about to do. Stephen then activated the Ti Gem to mark Dio and the old demon, so they wouldn’t be affected later before he flew towards the Dark Dinsion to deal with Dormammu.
But Stephen beca confident as he now realised that Dio had acknowledged that what he was about to do would work. Obviously, he would stop Stephen from doing sothing like this if it wouldn’t work, right?
Obviously, the Ti Gem’s power wouldn’t affect Dio as he had [The World] with him. As for phisto, as long as his real body in hell wasn’t affected in the ti stop, his clone in earth wouldn’t be affected either, as the clone here was just a manifestation of phisto’s will.
When Stephen already entered the Dark Dinsion, Dio imdiately rushed forward and dragged phisto’s clone inside the Mirror Dinsion! That is Dio’s counterasure to escape Stephen’s infinite loop power. It also provided him with a free space where he could unleash his full power without worrying about any living creatures or the dia that might be watching.
The Ancient One’s mories that she passed on to Dio allowed Dio to use magic without having to learn the arduous steps like Stephen experienced in Kamar-Taj. But this cheat-like thod wouldn’t work for normal people as it took a considerable ntal power to balance out a huge amount of knowledge in such a small amount of ti.
But then again, it wasn’t a complete mory of everything that the Ancient One had known about magic. It was just the knowledge about the Mirror Dinsion without having the fundantal behind the magic itself! Dio knew how to enter the Mirror Dinsion and manipulate it to his own desire, but he couldn’t teach others about how to do it!
It was like a math test where Dio already knew the answer but didn’t know how he ca up with that answer!
Although it was quite unfortunate that Dio couldn’t teach others about this Mirror Dinsion, it was probably for the best as he didn’t want to affect the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s stories more than what he has already done. Nevertheless, he wasn’t a greedy man who wanted every single power for his own.
“Mirror Dinsion? Are you one of the masters of mystic arts too?” phisto asked curiously. But the look in his eyes told Dio that phisto wasn’t happy. Obviously, after being defeated by the Ancient One for so long, phisto hated all Master of Mystic Arts!
“I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not one of them! I know the Ancient One personally, and thus after she had gone, I feel like it’s my duty to take so of her responsibility until her successor is strong enough to do it on his own!” Dio said indifferently.
“Good, it wouldn’t be that hard to take over the earth now!” phisto smirked as he was now convinced that the Ancient One had really died. He ca to check on her as phisto couldn’t sense her power anywhere on earth and beca curious about what happened to the Ancient One.
“Well, I wouldn’t put it past to let you roam the earth freely now, am I?” Dio indifferently said as he dragged his huge scythe towards phisto.
“We will see how far you fare against . Are you better than the Ancient One? Now, what do you say?” phisto smirked as he raised his cane and blocked Dio’s scythe attack. As the cane touched the scythe, it turned into a black giant sword.
Although Dio was confident that the [Reaper’s Gaze] was the most powerful weapon in terms of hand to hand weapon, he just couldn’t seem to break the sword that phisto’s clone was using! But then again, Dio easily split anything that phisto threw at him using his hellfire magic.
“I didn’t expect a mortal to have such a grandiose weapon like this. It’s such a sha honestly, such a beautiful weapon couldn’t reach its maximum potential as the user is weak!” phisto said tauntingly.
Dio didn’t care about what phisto said. He maintained his composure and fixed his gaze on phisto as he launched attack after attack endlessly. Although he couldn’t destroy phisto’s black greatsword, phisto wouldn’t be able to block his attack forever.
Furthermore, Dio could counter all phisto’s attack as he already saw so of them when he observed the Ghost Rider’s battle in the past.
But one thing that surprised Dio was the fact that phisto had a good swordsmanship! Although the Great Sword looked awkward in a phisto’s human form, phisto had the strength to back it up!
But as he saw that he wasn’t in any rush whatsoever, Dio didn’t summon any of his Stand as he saw this battle as an opportunity to learn so swordsmanship himself! After all, there were not that many enemies that he could learn from!
