The heavily injured Mountain Tim lay on the ground, watching Lucian constantly appear and disappear.
There were so many Valentines that he had no way of distinguishing which one was the original body.
When Lucian reappeared by his side again…
Mountain Tim understood that Lucian must also be fighting Valentine; their battle likely took place in a parallel world.
This Easterner really wasn’t on the same side as Valentine; he was also resisting fate in his own way.
Since that was the case, he had to help him; he absolutely could not let the corpse fall into Valentine’s hands.
The reappearing Funny Valentine now felt a killing intent toward Lucian.
Since Lucian already understood his ability, he couldn’t let him live.
Unfortunately, Lucian had the possibility of taking the corpse away, so he couldn’t harbor killing intent toward him before getting the corpse.
However, his own information couldn’t be leaked casually either.
Right now, he was like someone walking on a tightrope.
“Even though you understand D4C’s ability now, the scales of victory are always on my side, Valentine!
Give me the Saint’s ears, and I’ll spare your life and the cowboy’s.”
Mountain Tim shouted out: “You can’t give the corpse to Valentine!
If death is my fate, then let it come.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll just leave with the Saint’s ears?” Lucian threatened once more.
“I already understand; you won’t leave right now.
Even if you truly have a means of leaving, there’s still something you want to obtain in this world.
And until you get it, you won’t go.”
After saying that, Funny Valentine emptied the bullets in his hand toward Lucian.
At this moment, Valentine was still confident.
He was able to suppress the two of them earlier, and now was no exception.
Valentine’s arrogance was fully on display now.
In fact, he was right; Lucian did indeed want to stay in this world for a while longer.
It hadn’t reached a desperate situation yet.
Once it truly reached that point, Lucian would naturally leave immediately.
The moment the bullets struck, Heartsteel emerged and touched Lucian’s clothes.
The skin and clothing, which had become hard again, blocked all these attacks.
Funny Valentine wasn’t impatient either.
He first moved closer to Lucian while reloading his pistol, and his Stand, D4C, flew toward Lucian’s direction. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Although D4C’s range was also a C, it was smaller than Lucian’s Stand’s range.
One could only say there was a difference even between a C and a C.
Right now, the distance didn’t allow his Stand to attack Lucian, so he had to move forward a certain distance first.
At this time, Mountain Tim struggled to decompose himself into several parts using his rope.
His right hand successfully touched Funny Valentine, and a rope wrapped around Funny Valentine’s right foot.
No one was paying attention to the heavily injured Mountain Tim, so he successfully got close to Valentine.
Immediately, Funny Valentine was decomposed into several parts threaded onto the rope, and Valentine’s attack was instantly mitigated.
Having done this, Mountain Tim shouted loudly to Lucian: “Take the corpse part and find Johnny and the others.
Do not give the corpse to Funny Valentine.
He is a man who only brings misfortune.
Leave here quickly.
I will buy the last bit of time for you.”
Then Mountain Tim gave a whistle, and his mount galloped to Lucian’s side.
He could easily make horses listen because Mountain Tim was the most legendary cowboy.
Lucian’s Stand, Heartsteel, went up and touched Mountain Tim’s rope, and the constantly bleeding wound began to turn rigid.
He used this method to stop the bleeding first; as the skin and muscles became rigid, the bleeding slowed down.
Funny Valentine was momentarily distracted and caught off guard, but this kind of ability with little killing power had no effect on him.
D4C turned around and directly severed the rope binding Funny Valentine with a hand-chop.
Even though the rope had been granted the properties of steel, it was useless against D4C’s power.
As the rope was severed, Funny Valentine successfully returned to his original state.
However, Mountain Tim’s right hand was severed by D4C.
Seeing that Lucian hadn’t left yet, Mountain Tim was a bit anxious.
“Go quickly, the two of us are no match for Valentine.
Since you fear fate, you should know this is the inevitability of my fate.
Now, fate is calling me.”
Mountain Tim’s remaining left hand wrapped the rope around Valentine’s leg again.
Funny Valentine was once again split into several pieces and threaded together.
The rhythm of his attack was interrupted once more.
Since he couldn’t save Mountain Tim, he drove the horse to gallop forward; the corpse really couldn’t fall into Valentine’s hands right now.
As Lucian was riding away, he didn’t forget to raise his gun and shoot the horse he had been riding before.
He couldn’t leave Valentine a means of transportation to chase him.
By the time Funny Valentine returned to normal again, Lucian had already ridden far away.
Funny Valentine couldn’t help but be fly into a rage.
He could have originally obtained the Saint’s ears from the opportunistic Lucian; as long as he didn’t endanger Lucian’s life, he would definitely have been able to get the Saint’s ears into his hands.
At that time, whether Lucian left or was killed wouldn’t be an issue.
“You lowly pauper, you have blocked this country from obtaining [happiness]!”
Funny Valentine kicked Mountain Tim in anger.
Mountain Tim sprayed a large amount of blood from his mouth, but after he could no longer see Lucian’s figure, a smile appeared on his face.
Funny Valentine kept cursing him: “As a person of this [country], you should have patriotism for this country, but now you have become an obstacle to the country’s path to happiness.”
Valentine’s anger toward Mountain Tim far exceeded his anger toward Lucian, because Lucian looked like an Easterner no matter how you looked at it.
Moreover, he even came from another world.
But Mountain Tim didn’t have any patriotism, which made Valentine feel that his convictions were being insulted by this cowboy before him.
“Patriotism?
You’re just using that excuse to commit despicable acts.
Everything you do is for your own despicable and shameless selfish interests.”
What Mountain Tim didn’t know was that Funny Valentine truly did these things with love for his country in his heart.
However, that didn’t stop everything Valentine did from being despicable.
Just like the name of Funny Valentine’s Stand: [Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap].
Those victims were just the [foundation] for happiness; even Valentine himself could become that foundation.
“A person like you has no way of understanding the greatness of patriotism and will never obtain happiness.”
After saying that, Funny Valentine fired all the bullets in his pistol at Mountain Tim.
Mountain Tim took a glance toward the direction where the sun was rising.
In his heart, he had already found that place he could return to.
This was the honor belonging solely to a cowboy.
On this early morning, at the very moment the sun cast its light onto the cowboy’s face, the legendary cowboy Mountain Tim died at the hands of Funny Valentine.
Mountain Tim, who lived because of Lucian, finally died for Lucian as well.
At this moment, fate turned the slightly deviated trajectory back again.
