"Sorry, Tony, if you get blown away by that missile explosion, it's not my fault!" Kurohane muttered to himself.
The bullet shot like lightning, hitting the rocket launcher on the Iron Monger's left arm just before Kurohane's Bullet Time ended!
Clang—BOOM!!!
The rocket launcher on the Iron Monger's left arm exploded, turning into a massive fireball instantly. The Iron Monger's left arm vanished without a trace, thrown far away, leaving sparks and thick smoke, then fell from the roof of the Stark Group building, landing who knows where! The expensive glass roof Tony had built was also shattered into pieces by the force of the explosion. Tony himself was flung by the airwave from the rocket explosion, and accidentally, he fell and got caught on the edge of the roof. His already tattered Iron Suit now looked like a battle-damaged version specifically for the Middle East. The entire suit had lost power. If not for the lightweight design of the newly upgraded suit, Tony might have turned into a hand-cranked version again, becoming 'Tony's Iron Prison'.
Ding-a-ling
The phone rang, and Kurohane immediately answered. "Hello, this is Kurohane. I'm a bit tired and getting ready to go home to sleep."
"Was that your shot?!" Tony's voice sounded very excited. Among the people he knew, only Kurohane had such incredible marksmanship. Hitting a moving rocket launcher with one shot and detonating the hidden rocket inside? It sounded simple, but the difficulty was immense. After all, the diameter of the rocket launcher's opening was just a tiny black dot from two hundred meters away. Even with a high-magnification scope, hitting the target with one shot wasn't just about luck!
"Of course it was me. I couldn't possibly let your uncle beat you to death, could I?" Kurohane replied. He put down the sniper rifle in his hand, feeling a little stressed. Although Obadiah had just been shot, his system hadn't given him a reward yet. Not only did he not witness the Iron Monger's death with his own eyes, it was even more likely that Obadiah wasn't dead at all!
"Your kind uncle just fell from the building, and now it seems... he's coming for me!"
Clang, clang, clang!!!
Under the influence of Super Vision, Kurohane clearly saw the Iron Monger, now missing one arm, flying towards him, leaving a trail of thick smoke polluting the air. Then, he launched an aerial attack. The rocket launcher on his left arm had indeed exploded, but the Vulcan rotary machine gun in his right hand was still functioning, and he raked Kurohane's location with devastating fire!
A volley of bullets slammed into the rooftop, raising countless dust clouds. Concrete shattered and bullets ricocheted everywhere! Kurohane didn't even have time to put down his sniper rifle. He rolled and hid behind an air conditioning unit on the roof. Instantly, he was covered by splashing smoke, and gravel hit the air conditioning unit with a clatter!
Kurohane: (Eyes wide, confused)
This isn't how I imagined it! Tony isn't dead, so why is 'Iron Monger' turning his attention to me now?!
Explosion!!!
The Iron Monger's massive body crashed onto the roof where Kurohane was. Due to the loss of the thruster on his left hand, he was a bit wobbly upon landing, taking several steps before managing to stabilize himself. Seeing Kurohane hiding behind the air conditioning unit, Iron Monger aimed the rotary machine gun in his hand at Kurohane's location. Then, he opened his faceplate, revealing Obadiah's bald head reflecting the light.
"I know you, you good shot! You're the one who saved Tony from that damned Hell in the Middle East! But now your life is in my hands. The moment you poke your body out from cover, countless bullets will tear you apart, but even if you don't come out, that AC unit won't hold me back for long, and it won't save your life at all! Hahahaha!!!"
After Obadiah finished speaking, he fired the Vulcan machine gun in his right hand ferociously at Kurohane's location! The entire air conditioning unit was instantly riddled with holes, almost shattered to pieces by the storm of bullets!
At this moment, Kurohane seemed very calm. After all, the bulletproof Iron Suit had been opened by Obadiah. Although he was currently suppressed by enemy firepower, there was no possibility of shooting even if he used Bullet Time again. But this was the only good opportunity for a one-shot kill!
Super Vision frantically scanned everything on the roof. Kurohane kept looking for objects he could use. His first acquired skill, Death Marksman, was also used at the same time, calculating bullet trajectories in his mind! Since he couldn't directly hit Obadiah's bald head, he would use a ricochet bullet to deliver the final blow!
Kurohane took a deep breath, gripped the M9 pistol in his hand, and activated Bullet Time once again! Using Bullet Time twice in quick succession was a huge strain on his body. He didn't know if his heart could handle it. Even if it could, he might have to lie in a hospital for several days. Thinking about the expensive medical costs in the United States, Kurohane's vision went dark! His predecessor had selectively ignored his cold due to high medical expenses, and then burned to death from a high fever. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Kurohane's turn to transmigrate!
However, Kurohane had no other choice at this moment. Even if he ricocheted a bullet, he could only do it at most once! To achieve a one-shot kill, Kurohane had to expose his weapon from cover!
Wait a minute!!!
His heart was like a V8 engine with the pedal to the metal. The world in Kurohane's eyes instantly slowed down. After using Bullet Time twice in a row, Kurohane felt the slowing effect the second time was even more pronounced! Perhaps there was still a large amount of adrenaline left in his body, and then a large amount of adrenaline was secreted again. If Kurohane underwent a blood test now, there might not be a single drop of water in his blood. Only high-purity adrenaline would remain!
The muzzle of the M9 protruded slightly from the cover. Kurohane's eyes were wide open. He controlled his body to avoid the lethal bullets, but his body was still splashed with a lot of gravel. But under the influence of a large amount of hormones, Kurohane was like a normal person, and firmly pulled the trigger!
Bang—!
The sharp gunshot was instantly drowned out by the roar of the Vulcan machine gun, without causing any ripple! When Kurohane came out of cover, Obadiah's Iron Suit had already closed. He also gambled his life, betting that Kurohane's marksmanship wasn't that good! The Iron Suit closing didn't even take a second. This amount of time was not enough to complete a shooting action! He couldn't even aim!
The Iron Suit closed and the rotary machine gun in the Iron Monger's hand also stopped firing instantly. Instead, Kurohane fell heavily to the ground, gasping like a fish out of water! He clutched his chest tightly with both hands, his forehead covered in sweat!
Kurohane: (Eyes closed, body limp)
I'm going to die! My heart feels like it's stopped beating!
Before fainting, he vaguely heard Fury's voice!
"Kurohane!"
