Chapter 1298

Translation: "\"Big, everyone! Quickly look, behind us... \""

fine.

"Dawncloud Cliff" okay.

Translation: "Upon hearing the news, everyone turned around, only to see a black shadow staring at them from the steps of the Dawn Cloud Cliff in the distance."

fine.

fine.

Translation: "\"Fire Pursuit Walker... \""

fine.

Translation: "Bai'e clenched his fists: \"After all... it's still come. \""

fine.

Translation: "\"Now is not the time to linger in battle... \""

fine.

Translation: "\"I agree... I've been waiting for a chance to face it head-on... but not now... If we linger here and slip up, the consequences will be irreversible. \" Bai'e called out to everyone, \"Let's... we must leave this place—\""

fine.

Translation: "\"Run all the way... absolutely don't look back! \""

contains "Sai Fei'er" with an apostrophe e? That's okay, not Chinese. "Bai'e" okay. "Aki Hayase" okay. "Fire-stealer" okay. "letting go" in quotes okay.

Translation: "\"It's inescapable... even Sai Fei'er can't escape its pursuit, let alone Bai'e and the others. \" Hayakawa Qiu looked up at Bai'e and the others sprinting forward nonstop; he clearly realized that the Fire Pursuit Walker was merely letting them go with a 'letting go' gesture—if it truly chased, it would be right behind Bai'e in the next second."

contains "Sai Fei'er" okay.

fine.

fine.

fine.

Translation: "Hayakawa Qiu calmly shook his head: \"No, Xing and Dan Heng can fight it, but Bai'e must not. The thousand-year Fire Pursuit Journey is now truly just this stretch away from success. If he falls here, who would resign themselves? \""

fine.

fine.

"Ohma" okay.

Translation: "\"Well, aside from the Genesis Vortex Core, the Fire Pursuit Warrior should theoretically be able to come and go freely throughout Aohema, unless someone can simultaneously control his main body and his doppelganger. \""

"Tipho's Hundred‑World Gate" okay.

Translation: "That kind of movement, which could be called 'instantaneous transfer,' made Hayakawa Qiu think of Ti Bao's Hundred Realms Gate. The Fire Pursuit Warrior practically could use that power anytime, anywhere, without having to pay a price like Ti Bao does."

"Xie Die" okay.

Translation: "No, upon further thought... the Fire Pursuit Warrior seems to have gathered many abilities related to or similar to those of a Demigod: the 'Trickery' divine speed, the 'Pathways' movement, immunity to 'death' like Nicadoli, and even contact with Xia Die cannot kill it."

fine.

Translation: "... Could there be some connection among these?"

"Ophyrus" okay.

Translation: "But the more Hayakawa Qiu pondered, the more curious he became about its true identity and motives. Logically, the Fire Pursuit Warrior already stands at the peak of Weng Luoluo's combat power; if it wanted to gather fire seeds, it could have done so thousands of years ago during the Golden War, so why wait until now?"

fine.

Translation: "\"Everyone kept running, weaving through the narrow paths, and after realizing the Fire Pursuit Warrior hadn't caught up, Bai'e finally let out a slight sigh of relief. However, before they could catch even a few breaths... just as several people were about to descend the stairs, they suddenly discovered the Fire Pursuit Warrior already waiting ahead of them. \""

fine.

fine.

Translation: "\"Dan Heng froze: \"How is it... \"\""

fine.

Translation: "\"Dusk... arrives as promised... \""

fine.

Translation: "\"Doppelganger, illusion... just tricks to hide in shadows. \""

fine.

Translation: "The Fire Pursuit Warrior hoarsely said: \"The sky... has returned to its place... this world... must... be restarted. \""

fine.

Translation: "\"Mimi scratched his head in bewildered confusion: \"What... what exactly is it?! \"\""

fine.

Translation: "\"Is the endpoint you're seeking also the 'Genesis Miracle'? \" Bai'e demanded sternly, \"If so, you should be standing beside the Golden Heirs! Why obstruct us, 'Fire Pursuit Warrior'? \""

「「……」」

Translation: "\"... \""

fine.

Translation: "The Fire Pursuit Warrior emitted a meaningless hoarse sound from its throat, stubbornly repeating: \"Dusk... arrives as promised... must... restart. \""

fine.

Translation: "Since words are ineffective, the only recourse is to show resolve with blades."

fine.

Translation: "The Fire Pursuit Warrior instantly manifested three doppelgangers, engaging Bai'e and the others in a melee; just as Xing blocked one doppelganger's attack with a single strike, the Warrior's main body suddenly appeared behind Xing, like a poisonous snake drilling out of the void, its long sword slashing toward Xing's back!"

fine.

Translation: "In an instant, countless red crystals burst forth from the ground!"

fine.

Translation: "They erupted explosively from behind Xing, instantly covering the Fire Pursuit Warrior's entire body in a dense thicket! At the same time, a figure descended from the heavens, raising an arm in a flash to block that sword!"

fine.

Translation: "——It's Wandi!"

fine.

Translation: "\"Leave this to me and Xia Die. \""

fine.

Translation: "Wandi raised his hand and punched the Fire Pursuit Warrior's abdomen, blasting it backward in flight. As it landed, countless black vine tendrils sprouted from the ground, tightly coiling around its legs."

fine.

Translation: "\"Xiao Bai, here! \""

fine.

Translation: "Only then did they see Ti Bao had at some point opened a Hundred Realms Gate leading to the main urban district of Aohema, and was urging everyone to hurry inside."

fine.

Translation: "Wandi finally glanced at Bai'e, then waved his big hand:"

fine.

Translation: "\"... Go! \""

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind

"Ah…… Wandi, he's finally here!"

Translation: "\"Ah... Wandi, he's finally here! \""

Seeing "that man" descend from the heavens to block Star's fatal blow, Teri Xiu instantly felt an unparalleled sense of relief, involuntarily letting out a long breath.

Translation: "Seeing \"that man\" descend from the heavens to block a fatal blow for Xing, Te Li Xiu instantly felt an unparalleled sense of relief, involuntarily exhaling deeply."

As the strongest demigod, even if Wandi cannot kill the Fire‑stealer, stalling it for a moment should still be possible.

Translation: "As the strongest Demigod, even if Wandi couldn't kill the Fire Pursuit Warrior, stalling it for a moment should still be doable."

Moreover, I never expected Xie Die to be able to lend remote support from the Underworld, which made her even more delighted. The Golden Heirs' companions providing aid from the Underworld's sea of flowers made it feel as if Xie Die had always been watching over them, fighting side by side.

Translation: "Moreover, she hadn't expected Xia Die to be able to provide remote support from the Netherworld, which delighted her further. The Golden Heirs' companions from the Netherworld's sea of flowers offered aid, making it feel as if Xia Die had always been watching over them and fighting side by side."

"Should we let Wandi and Xie Die stay here to fight? Then Wandi's prophecy……"

Translation: "\"Let Wandi and Xia Die stay here to fight? Then Wandi's prophecy... \""

For some reason, Giorno constantly feels a strong sense of strangeness. Bai'e has already departed via the Hundred‑World Gate, making it impossible to return and stab Wandi in the back; at present, the only one who could possibly kill him is the Fire‑stealer.

Translation: "For some reason, Qiao Lu Nuo always had a strong sense of strange unease. Bai'e had already departed via the Hundred Realms Gate; no matter how you look at it, it's impossible to return to stab Wandi in the back, so the only one who could possibly kill him now is the Fire Pursuit Warrior."

Impossible…… Could the Fire‑stealer know Wandi's weakness?

Translation: "Impossible... could the Fire Pursuit Warrior know Wandi's weakness?"

Giorno was startled by the idea that popped into his head.

Translation: "Qiao Lu Nuo was startled by the thought that popped into his mind."

But if he continues to delve into that idea, a chill begins to run up his spine, making him break out in a cold sweat.

Translation: "But if he continued to delve deeper along that line of thought, a chill would rise up his spine, making him break out in cold sweat."

Fukuro seemed to notice the cold sweat seeping from Giorno's neck, and whispered a reminder, "Giorno, you should have realized this too, right?" He added, "If Bai'e doesn't return to the battlefield, Wandi will most likely die at the hands of this Fire‑stealer."

Translation: "\"Qiao Lu Nuo, you should have realized this as well, right? \" Fu Ge seemed to notice the cold sweat seeping from Qiao Lu Nuo's neck, whispering a reminder, \"If Bai'e doesn't return to the battlefield, Wandi will most likely die at the hands of the Fire Pursuit Warrior. \""

"Hmm. Dying from a wound to the back…… if Wandi is killed by it, its identity becomes even more enigmatic. It is the second person, aside from Bai'e, who knows Wandi's weakness." Giorno took a deep breath.

Translation: "\"Hmm. Dying from a wound to the back... if Wandi were killed by it, its identity would become even more enigmatic. It would be the second person, aside from Bai'e, to know Wandi's weakness. \" Qiao Lu Nuo took a deep breath."

"Do you think its appearance is related to Bai'e?" Fukuro continued to ask.

Translation: "\"Do you think its appearance is related to Bai'e? \" Fu Ge continued to ask."

"If the Fire‑stealer holds a secret that only Bai'e knows, saying the two are unrelated would just be self‑deception." Giorno gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Translation: "\"If the Fire Pursuit Warrior holds a secret that only Bai'e could know, claiming the two are unrelated would be self-deception. \" Qiao Lu Nuo gave a wry smile and shook his head."

"Actually, I think there's another person who should also know about Wandi's weakness."

Translation: "\"Actually, I think there's another person who should also know about Wandi's weakness. \""

"Are you thinking of… Laigushi?"

Translation: "\"You mean... Laigushi? \""

Fuge's face grew solemn as he nodded: "Yes, given Laigushi's command of Weng Faluos, I think it very likely knows the demigods' and Titans' various secrets and intelligence. Otherwise, it couldn't have simply bypassed the rules of the Sky and gone straight to Weng Faluos's entrance to meet the Black Tower."
