*** Coming Into Focus, The New Continent ***

Lancelot lifted his long spear. With a deep breath in, he thrust the spear forward in a straight line.

Crack!

The steel spear became embedded in a stone pillar. Lancelot pried it out, leaving a small hole in the stone.

Crack.

Particles of stone powder that had fallen to the floor rose into the air, as the stone pillar began to restore itself. The hole was quite small, it did not take very long for it to fully mend. Then, once again…

Crack!

The spear penetrated the pillar once more. When Lancelot removed the spear, the stone pillar again returned to its original form. Again, and again, and again…

Zing!

Behind Lancelot, a blue circle emerged and spun around. It was a monster-summoning magic circle.

Boom!

A lightning-quick stab collided with the Iron Golem, which had just spawned out of the magic circle. The Iron Golem didn’t give in easily though, as it parried Lancelot’s stab.

In any other game, it would have taken some time for a regen monster to properly recognize a user, but the monsters in DIO didn’t follow such logic; they attacked a user the moment they appeared. Even if a user waited at a regen point, they wouldn’t garner any combat advantage. In addition, if a user installed a trap or something in a regen location, the regen monster would reappear in a different location.

Whoosh!...
