- All humans unconsciously show signs of fear,' the white-haired man continued his speech, 'I can easily identify these signs. For example, when you are afraid, you open your eyes wide and clench your teeth tightly. And don't you deny it! You're scared right now. Come on, show your signs of fear again.

Illuso looked at his opponent and involuntarily realised that he was right. He was indeed showing his signs of fear, which he didn't show often, but he still felt it.

'Oh shit, he's trying to intimidate me, I can't let him do that. Fear... It seems that his Stand is somehow related to fear.'

Gathering his will into a fist, Illuso still managed to put aside his fear and regain his composure.

- Freak! - He shouted to his opponent, 'You're the one who kidnapped Melone and Gyaccio, right? Where did you take them? Answer me, or I'll beat that information out of you!

He smirked, turned and walked away.

- Stop right there!

Illuso immediately chased after him. When he got within a few metres of him, he immediately called up his Man in the Mirror and tried to strike, but the white-haired man turned into a folded piece of paper.

- What, you think I can't get you? I've already learnt that you can seal objects, people and yourself in paper. You can't hide from me that way!

Illuso took the paper that the white-haired man had turned into and began to open it. However, as soon as he opened it, a guy's hand came out holding a gun.

- What the-

Before Illuso could realise it, the gun shot him in the head, causing him to drop the paper and collapse to the ground. The white-haired man climbed completely out of the paper and turned to Illuso with a smug smile on his face:

- You didn't think it would be this easy, did you? You think you can just take your fear and hide it? Don't even get your hopes up! I've already seen your signs of fear, and I need you to show them again.

After saying that, the white-haired man ran into the alley, and Illuso had already recovered by this time.

'Oh arse... That was rather unexpected. If I hadn't had time to concentrate Nan on my head, I would have definitely moved.'

Getting to his feet he pulled the bullet out of his forehead and began to slowly make his way forward down the street, while remembering to keep looking around.

'He's out there somewhere, I know it. If he's come for me, there's no point in him running away. He's hiding and waiting somewhere. But what the hell does he need us for anyway? I'm also worried about his aura. When he was standing behind me, I felt a dark aura coming from him. If you look closely, you can even see it.'

Suddenly Illuso noticed the wind from outside bringing three more pieces of paper. He got into a fighting stance and waited to see what might come out of it. One paper appeared on his right, one on his left, and one on his front. When they opened, tiger-like creatures jumped out of them and immediately swarmed towards Illuso.

'Damn, looks like he sealed up some of the local flora and fauna while he was getting here.'

Illuso didn't hesitate and with a swift movement he split the skull of the right animal, used the stand to kill the left one, and immediately switched and killed the last one.

He barely had time to move away from this attack before more papers started falling from somewhere above, and this time there were a lot more, at least ten pieces.

'There are more this time. What has he got in store for me this time?'

When the first piece of paper opened, many metal scalpels flew out of it at great speed.

- What the...

Using his Stand Illuso began to fight off the scalpels flying at him. By some miracle, he managed to fend off all the projectiles, but still one scalpel scratched his temple.

'That was a close call. Those scalpels... Oh, it can't be! These are the kind of scalpels Risotto usually uses during battle. That means... Could it be that he was able to seal Risotto as well! That's impossible!'

And then Illuso remembered that he had only fired a volley from one paper while there were many others. The other papers at the same time began to slowly reveal themselves, and this time all together.

- Oh no...

When the papers opened, a volley of multiple scalpels immediately followed from all of them.

Realising that fighting off all of them was a dubious prospect Illuso covered his face with his hands, concentrated Nan all over his body and prepared to take all the projectiles on himself.

Almost all of the projectiles fired hit Illuso directly, but he continued to stand firmly on his feet and endure all the pain. As he expected, he would definitely not be able to fend off all the projectiles flying at such a tremendous speed. Even though he was using Nan, the scalpels were still doing serious damage to him. One nearly severed his finger and another his ear. Several went into his side, almost reaching his kidney. One went straight into his chest, but luckily it hit his rib cage and couldn't reach his heart.

Finally, the volleys were over. Illuso could barely stand on his feet. He was practically covered with wounds of varying depths, from which blood was dripping onto the ground. But despite all this, he only smirked and said loudly:

- Is that it? You think you can scare me with that? Don't make me laugh! You'd only scare a child with that shit!

'Yeah, he almost didn't scare me, but I almost moved. But that's okay, I can take a lot more than that.'

Suddenly Illuso saw another piece of paper flying towards him from the side. This time, however, it was well folded and would not open. Taking a closer look Illuso noticed that the paper had the inscription, 'Nero's Risotto.'

'That's... Come on!'

Forgetting all precautions Illuso ran over, grabbed the paper and began to slowly open it. As soon as he did so, a cloud of purple smoke immediately escaped from it. This caused him to panic. He threw the paper away, collapsed to the ground, and started to back away.

He was terrified. His heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

- You're showing signs of fear again,' came a voice from behind him. He turned around and saw the white-haired man behind him, a satisfied smirk on his face, -You opened your eyes wide and clenched your teeth tightly. Now you're finished! Enigma!

- Man in the Mirror! - Illuso shouted and tried to attack with his Stand.

He thought he had struck the enemy Stand, but as soon as he did so, a large piece of paper was under his feet and he was slowly pulled into it.

- You showed me your fear,' the white-haired man continued, 'After that, no matter how much you resist, it's useless in the face of Enigma! It doesn't matter to him how strong you are!

- Bastard, why do you even need us? - Illuso asked him, clutching at the ground with a dead grip, trying to escape.

- Why? I don't know. I just need it. I need to destroy all the users of the booths. I don't know why, but for some reason, I really want to do it. And as for you...' He stepped his foot right on Illuso's head, 'You made me sweat a little. The hardest part, however, was that grey-haired man. Not only is he not easy to piss off, but he made me throw up blades! My throat still hurts. I thought he'd never get through, but when I pretended to kill his mates I'd captured before, he snapped. The long-haired one was the easiest. Turns out he's afraid of snakes. Glasses got scared when he thought I was going to kill the long-haired one. And you... Are you afraid of purple smoke? Are you? It's a little sudden. I just happened to come across some plant in the woods that emitted this purple smoke. Thinking it was poisonous, I decided to seal it up. I originally wanted to break you the same way I broke your friends, but it looks like that wasn't necessary. Now you're finished! I've won!

Meanwhile, Illuso had already been sucked into the paper almost up to his chest. But despite the situation, he didn't panic. No... He just started laughing.

- Why are you laughing? - The white-haired man asked in bewilderment.

- Hehehe... Gee... You know, you're right about something. You really managed to scare me with that smoke. No... I wasn't just scared... I almost shit myself! However... I deliberately went for it. I deliberately took all of your attacks. All this time I realised that sooner or later you'd be able to scare me and seal me with your Stand. Don't you see the point? I'll tell you. Determination! Determination is the reason I took the risk to let myself be scared and sealed! It was all to get you to show up and come closer to me! - He unhooked one hand from the ground and slipped it into the inside pocket of his waistcoat, from which he pulled out a small hand mirror, - Man in the Mirror!

The mirror Illuso pulled out began to emit a bright glow that blinded the white-haired man. A second later, they were both in the mirror world.

- W-what happened? What did you do?! - The white-haired man asked in a panicked voice to Illuso, who had already freed himself from the captivity of the paper and was standing firmly on his feet.

- Gee, it was close, but it was worth it. If it wasn't for my determination, I don't even know what I would have done.

- How did you free yourself from the captivity of paper? It's impossible! Enigma!

The white-haired man tried to summon his Stand, but it didn't appear. Illuso only smirked and shook the dirt off his trousers.

- What's wrong? I can't summon my Stand? How come? - Illuso said sarcastically and mockingly, 'I'll let you in on a secret. You summoned your Stand, but it's not in this world.

- What?!

- You haven't noticed yet? It's just a reflection of the real world, a looking glass. That is the power of my Man in the Mirror! Only what I allow can enter this world. That's why I forbade your Stand to enter. Now...

Illuso walked up to the white-haired man and punched him in the jaw, knocking him to the ground.

- P-please have mercy!

- Mercy? Don't get your hopes up. You won't get off that easy. But it's too easy to beat you alone, so...

Illuso reached into the inside pocket of the white-haired man's coat and took out three pieces of paper. He blew them into the wind beside him and after that they immediately opened up. Risotto, Giaccio and Melone came out of there. They started looking around and after a couple of seconds they realised everything and approached Illuso.

- Well done Illuso, we never doubted you. - Said Risotto to him with a slight smile.

- I think it's time to have some fun. - Said Melone looking at the white-haired man who looked at them all in horror and sitting on the ground slowly backed away.

Illuso walked over to him, bent down and spoke:

- I thought you said something about signs of fear back there? You know, I've noticed something. When you're scared, you squint one eye,' White-Haired noticed that he had just squinted his left eye, 'And now you're squinting the other eye, which means you're terrified!

- Shit!!! - The white-haired man screamed in terror, and Gyaccio laughed an evil laugh at the same time.

- I think I'm going to have a good time now! - He said excitedly.

Together, they all began to slowly approach the white-haired man with slight smiles on their faces that made him shiver.
