Seeing that this raid had not achieved the desired results, Yoshikage Kira was somewhat displeased.
If it weren't for Josuke Higashikata protecting them, Yoshikage Kira would have had many ways to win.
This guy is quite troublesome, whether as a Stand user or a Master.
"Josuke!"
"It's alright. Caster blocked most of the explosion's force for me."
"It was just a slight impact, nothing serious," Josuke said in a deep voice.
"But be careful, since the Queen of Assassins didn't even touch anything, how did she manage to turn those hidden weapons into bombs?"
I vaguely remember that only things that Killer Queen touched would turn into bombs.
But just now, Itachi Uchiha only threw a shuriken, and there was no sign of the Killer Queen at all. How could it suddenly detonate?
It was precisely because of this understanding that they were not alert to the shuriken flying towards them.
"Saber, use that one."
"Although it consumes a lot of magic power, it should be fine with the support of Command Seals."
"This time, you must make sure to kill Josuke Higashikata."
They knew they couldn't give the other side any extra time, otherwise Nijimura Okuyasu's Stand ability would pose a huge threat to them.
Even with the power of Susanoo, it couldn't stop the "bombardment space" from reducing space.
Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately began forming hand seals.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
Four wisps of white smoke emerged from the side, and to Josuke and the others' astonishment, four more Uchiha Itachi appeared.
"Hey! What's going on?! There are suddenly so many of these guys?"
Is it magic?
"Calm down, Yitai, that might just be a smokescreen."
"Attack is coming! Watch out!"
Before they could even understand the reason, Itachi, as the original body, had already controlled Susanoo to unleash a slash.
The sword that split the two sides in the middle cut off their territories.
(Did they deliberately separate us?)
Josuke noticed this and had a bad feeling.
He glanced to his left at Koichi and Okuyasu, and then noticed that, taking advantage of the chaos, four Uchiha Itachi were charging at each of them individually.
"Hey, I don't care what you are! Just cut it off!"
Without much hesitation, Nijimura Okuyasu raised his hand and summoned his Stand, using its power against the charging clone.
"boom!!"
It was cut in half at the waist, and the clone turned into white smoke with a "bang" and disappeared.
"What? This was easily resolved."
"You scared me half to death; it seems it was just a smokescreen."
Seeing that nothing had happened, Yitai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Watch out, the other one is missing."
"?!"
However, Kang Yi, who was standing next to him, exclaimed in surprise, which immediately alerted Yi Tai.
"where?!"
As expected, there were two clones rushing towards them, but after one was destroyed by Yitai, the other disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, Josuke and Sakuya, seeing their two clones rushing towards them, also began to attack.
"boom!"
Using the time to accelerate the throwing knife, Sakuya easily destroyed the foremost clone.
This kind of defenseless "target" was far too easy for her to kill.
When the second clone tried to break through, she attempted to repeat the process, but this time an unexpected accident occurred.
A red light emanated from the clone, just like the original, and a simple Susanoo enveloped its body, blocking the incoming flying knife.
"!"
The other party is still approaching
"Ohhh!!"
"Down below, Yitai!"
Just as Josuke and Sakuya were about to deal with the enemy in front of them, Koichi's surprised voice came from the side.
"Clap!"
Two hands emerged from the floor and grabbed Kang Yi and Yi Tai's feet.
That was one of the clones that had disappeared before.
"Could it be!?"
Seeing Kira Yoshikage's amused expression, Josuke immediately knew where his unease came from.
He vaguely guessed the other party's purpose.
“Hey, Josuke Higashikata, your Stand has troublesome power, but right now Okuyasu Nijimura is the biggest threat.”
"You won't make it in time at this distance, will you?"
Looking at Josuke Higashikata, who seemed to have realized what was happening, Yoshikage Kira said calmly and confidently.
"Killer Queen has already touched Saber's clone."
"That's a human bomb, living up to its name!"
"Snapped!"
A sound of pressing a thumb rang out, followed by an explosion.
"Ahhh!!"
Kang Yi and Yi Tai were caught in the crossfire at close range, and their bodies exploded.
Even the rapidly approaching clone in front of Sakuya exploded, the violent impact attempting to engulf her and Josuke.
"hateful!!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Hearing Josuke's angry shout, Kira Yoshikage felt extremely pleased.
Saber was more capable than he had imagined.
Such a sophisticated multi-layered ambush is indeed capable of eliminating the precise target.
Using the clones, and then having the Killer Queen turn them into bombs, ostensibly to defeat them individually, was actually just to restrain Caster and Josuke.
The real target is that guy Nijimura Okuyasu.
His ability to reduce space is the most pressing threat that needs to be addressed.
Kira Yoshikage and Itachi truly had no way to defend against this guy.
That's why it was chosen as the top priority.
Koichi Hirose?
It was just a side effect.
"Now that Nijimura Okuyasu is no longer a threat, Higashikata Josuke, I can slowly deal with you."
Without even considering that the two people couldn't be saved in a short period of "time stop," it was impossible.
Even if Jotaro Kujo were here, it would be too late.
But Itachi vaguely sensed something was wrong and suddenly caught sight of Sakuya, who had somehow circled around to his back.
"You're really confident."
"Those cockroaches are as tenacious as cockroaches; they won't give up so easily."
"It's more accurate to say that we're celebrating too soon."
The other party uttered those cold words, which sounded almost sarcastic.
Just then, as the smoke from the explosion cleared, Yoshikage Kira saw the current situation on the other side.
"It was really dangerous, but luckily we made it in time."
"How can it be?!"
"Time was not used to stop."
