The Stone Mask, Part 3 (Chapter)

The Thirst For Blood is the tenth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the tenth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
The Stone Mask begins to shine as tentacles sprout forth from it and impale themselves into his head. The man falls down a moment later, and the light completely disappears. Jonathan's research had apparently been wrong, since the man had not morphed and appeared to be quite dead.

Upon walking away, however, the man gets up and attacks Dio from behind. Dio manages to pull out his knife and dodge the man's strike, whilst managing to cut his assailant's hand in half. The momentum behind the attack forces the man's fist into a wall of a nearby building instead, causing a large crater to form 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 had seemed to reverse as well as his physical appearance diverted back to an age no more than 25. He grabs Dio by the throat and begins sucking blood from him via tentacles from his fingers, but just before Dio falls unconscious from bloodloss, the sun appears over the horizon, and the man is disintegrated.

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