Chapter 10

The Thirst for Blood (The Stone Mask - Part 3 in the JoJonium release) is the tenth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the tenth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
The man falls down after his head is impaled by the spikes of the Stone Mask and the light completely disappears. The man appears dead, and Dio concludes that though Jonathan had poured so much research into the mask, it turned out to be simply a tool for torture and execution.

As Dio walks away, the man gets up and attacks him from behind. Dio manages to pull out his knife and dodges the strike, while cutting his assailant's hand in half. The momentum behind the attack forces the man's fist into a wall of a nearby building instead, and a large crater forms around where his fist struck. Dio is amazed at how much power the man has, as well as the fact that he doesn't seem to feel any pain from his injured hand. The man's aging process seems to have reversed as well, his physical appearance reverting to that of an age no more than twenty-five. He grabs Dio by the throat and begins sucking blood from him via tentacles from his fingers, but just before Dio falls unconscious from blood loss, the sun appears over the horizon, and the man disintegrates.

Meanwhile, back at the Joestar Mansion, Jonathan has returned with the man who had sold Dio the poison.
