I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 206 One Strike Kills

Facing Erin's ambiguous smile.

Tony Stark couldn't help but feel a bit like a Muggle.

His instinctive reaction was to send Erin, a student, and Pepper, a woman, to hide in the basement.

But it wasn't until after he said those words that Tony realized Erin was no ordinary student at all.

Rather, it was the person he wanted to ask for help this time.

No one understood Arryn's power better than Tony Stark, who had witnessed Arryn summoning the six-winged angel.

That's why Tony Stark, who had just enjoyed a Chinese feast with Pepper, insisted that Pepper take him to Arlin after being ambushed by the madman with the whip.

Because he knew.

Compared to the uncertainty of when rescue might arrive, staying by Erin's side is the safest option.

As it turns out, Tony's choice was correct.

Aside from Arryn, who could summon angels, Tony Stark couldn't think of anyone else who could directly heal the wound on his back.

but.

That's why Tony felt so awkward under Erin's ambiguous gaze.

Even in front of Aunt Pepper, Erin didn't completely embarrass Tony Stark.

After teasing Tony a bit.

Erin asked again, "By the way, can you tell me now who was that guy banging on my front door? Also, don't you have Iron Man armor? How did you get beaten up so badly?"

"Don't even mention it. I just finished eating with Pepper and was about to head back when I ran into that lunatic outside. I didn't even have time to put on my Mark V armor before he destroyed it. If I were wearing my armor, even ten of those guys outside wouldn't be a match for me."

Speaking of this...

Tony, who still had a hint of embarrassment on his face, instantly became serious.

"I don't know who that madman who attacked me outside is, but he's really dangerous. That guy is very skilled with a long whip, and he also has a special energy conduction device strapped to his body, which makes the whip he swings filled with high-frequency destructive energy."

"That guy's whip just now cleaved my armored van in two. If I hadn't reacted quickly, it probably would have split me in two. Wait a minute..."

Halfway through his sentence, Tony Stark suddenly looked at Arryn's door with astonishment. The door, which was constantly rumbling and trembling under the bombardment of the energy whip but had not yet been breached, said with great surprise:

"Wait a minute, what kind of weird material is this door of yours made of? Why has it been able to hold it off for so long...?"

His own bulletproof van, which he had purchased at great expense, couldn't even withstand a single lash from that madman's whip, but the gate of the Erin family's house hadn't been breached by that madman's energy whip until now.

If such doors made of bizarre materials were available for sale, Tony Stark would like to have a few of them installed in his house.

·····································

After hearing Tony Stark's description...

Arryn had a pretty good idea of ​​who was behind the attack on Tony Stark.

If he wasn't mistaken, the guy pounding on his door from the outside was probably Ivan Vanko, the one known as Whiplash.

Although his father was deported and sent back to Russia after collaborating with Howard to develop the prototype of the Arc Reactor, there were some shady dealings involved.

But that's no excuse for that guy to smash his own front door.

After repeated reinforcements, the defensive capabilities of his house increased significantly.

However, some could not withstand the continuous, high-frequency bombardment from the energy whip.

Thinking this, Erin ignored Tony's questioning and instead said to Pepper, "Aunt Pepper, you take Happy to the basement to get his wounds bandaged. You can come up after I've dealt with that guy outside..."

At this point, Erin glanced at Tony Stark imperceptibly.

But before Erin could speak, Tony said, "I'm not going down. Don't worry, buddy. I'm the famous Iron Man, I won't cause you any trouble."

"Sorry, but in my eyes, Iron Man without his suit is no match for an ordinary soldier. So you'd better just stay in the basement with me!"

After giving Tony Stark a disdainful look, Arryn continued, "As for the guy who attacked you, believe me, I'll handle it. You've seen my strength..."

Tony had no doubt about Erin's strength; after all, he was a monster who could summon six-winged angels.

The madman outside wielding the energy whip may be a bit intimidating, but if you anger Erin and he summons that six-winged angel, he'll still have to kneel.

However, what Erin said earlier stung Tony for some reason.

Although what Erin said was true, how could Tony Stark be so disparaging to Pepper's face?

With this in mind, Tony Stark silently made up his mind that he would do everything in his power to create a more portable suit of armor.

His latest research and development of the Mark 5 armor has been compressed to the size of a briefcase, making it much more convenient than before.

But in this sudden attack, Tony didn't even have a chance to put on his Mark V before he was seriously injured.

His meticulously crafted Mark V, compressed into his briefcase, didn't even get a chance to appear before being cleaved in two by the energy whip, along with the bulletproof car that had been split in two.

Tony never wants to go through that experience again.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Tony was, he was still kicked out to the basement by Erin.

Although Tony Stark discovered some of his hidden secrets because of the Harlem incident, there are still some things that Arryn doesn't want him to know.

Happy, his back covered in blood, gave Erin a final, resentful look before finally enduring the pain and entering the basement.

The basement door slammed shut with a "bang".

And then the little monsters "locked" the basement door.

Erin waved to the little monster.

"Hey, let that guy outside in. If he keeps blasting, our door will really be blown down."

Click!

Under Erin's orders.

The door, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse from the outside bombardment, was flung open in an instant.

····································

Outside the gate of the Erin family's house.

Ivan Vanko, whose body was constantly crackling with electric sparks, was about to increase his energy output and smash the unusually hard and strange door with a single whip.

But unexpectedly.

Before he could even take any action, the door that was blocking his way opened by itself.

"It's open?"

After a slight pause, Ivan Vanko, who had been thinking about something, squinted at the "thin" figure that appeared behind the door and then spit out the toothpick he was holding in his mouth with disdain.

Then he directly turned the power of the energy whips in his hands to the maximum, causing the two energy whips in his hands to burst out with bright light.

After secretly raising his guard, Ivan Vanko swaggered into Erin's house.

Through the light shining from the ceiling, he glanced at the bloodstains scattered on the floor and sofa.

Wearing special equipment that seemed to be surrounded by lightning, Ivan Vanko said coldly, "Kid, if you don't want to die, hand over the people who just escaped into your house."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting you taste the whip..."

In the end, a sinister expression appeared on Ivan Vanko's face, which didn't look like a good person at all.

In response to Ivan Vanko's intimidation, Erin waved his hand and said, "Little monster, close the door!"

The moment Erin finished speaking.

The wide-open door behind Ivan Vanko slammed shut with a loud bang.

The instant the door closed.

Ivan Vanko's arrogant expression changed instantly. The energy whip in his right hand lashed out, creating a loud crack in mid-air, before mercilessly lashing out at Erin's waist.

The sharp whip flashes and terrifying power.

It seemed they wanted to kill Erin outright, giving him no chance to live.

However, just as Ivan Vanko made his move...

The floor beneath his feet instantly collapsed, creating a large, dark hole.

at the same time.

Around the pitch-black hole, six sharp spikes shot out, aiming straight for Ivan Vanko's vital organs.

"not good."

Having sensed a sense of crisis upon hearing the door close behind him, Ivan Vanko decided to first deal with Erin, who was standing in front of him, before dealing with the dangers that might come at any moment.

However, this sudden change beneath him directly disrupted Ivan Vanko's plans.

At this rate, although his energy whip could cut Erin in two, he figured he'd also be pricked into a hedgehog by this sudden trap.

Thinking about this...

Ivan Vanko's energy whip, which was originally aimed at Erin, paused slightly before he flicked it upwards, directly wrapping it around the chandelier on the first-floor ceiling.

Using the chandelier on the ceiling to stabilize his rapid descent, Ivan Vanko suddenly exerted force with his right hand, and the long whip in his hand, whose energy had been extinguished, immediately pulled his body upwards rapidly.

Meanwhile, Ivan Vanko's other hand was also busy.

Ivan Vanko took the whip, which was wrapped in electric arcs, to a whole new level.

The energy whip, like a serpent, circled around Ivan Vanko, quickly severing the four ground spikes that were aimed at him. However, its speed was ultimately a little slower than the sudden burst of ground spikes.

Just as the long whip of lightning swept towards the fifth ground spike.

The sixth spike, which pierced Ivan Vanko from behind, went straight through his right calf.

Before Ivan Vanko could even cry out in pain and take action.

As the spike pierced his calf, Ivan Vanko, slightly obstructed, suddenly noticed that from the large, suddenly collapsed hole beneath him, a gaping maw leaped out and lunged at his body.

"not good!"

Just as Whipstring's expression changed drastically because of the gaping maw that appeared beneath him, a silver bullet drew a graceful arc in mid-air.

Then, with a "bang," it pierced through Ivan Vanko's forehead!

····································

Although Ivan Vanko's whip was not weak, for Erin now, dealing with this kind of guy who had high attack but low defense and low health sometimes only required one shot.

After blowing away the wisp of gunpowder smoke coming from the silencer.

With a flick of his wrist, the silver-white pistol vanished from Erin's hand.

I don't know where Erin hid it inside his body.

Ivan Vanko, who was shot in the head by Erin, didn't even understand what happened before his consciousness was plunged into darkness forever.

At the same time as Ivan Vanko died, a notification sounded in Erin's mind.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, for killing "Whiplash" Ivan Vanko ahead of schedule, causing ripples in the River of Fate. The Scales of Fate have successfully gained 1000 Fate Points through this opportunity.]

Only a thousand Fate Points!

As the main villain in Iron Man 2, Ivan Vanko's net worth is a bit low!

However, this may also be because the power of destiny gathered in Ivan Vanko at this time has not yet reached its peak.

If it were the later version of Ivan Vanko, who mass-produced a large army of mechs through Hammer Industries and then created the Steel Whiplash Armor, he might have had more Fate Points!

But what if the timing was so unfortunate?

After letting out a helpless sigh.

Erin simply had the minions dispose of Ivan Vanko's corpse.

As for the small arc reactor that was stripped from him, and his complete set of energy whip devices.

After thinking for a moment, Erin still tossed it to the little monster.

Erin doesn't need the thing Ivan Vanko left behind for the time being.

Instead of letting it gather dust in the warehouse, why not take it out and give it to the monsters to see if they can absorb and transform it?

After all, Little Monster was a safe haven that Erin had painstakingly built.

If the monsters can devour this set of energy whips, then Erin's house will gain an additional powerful attack method.
