The process of assembling the armor went much more smoothly than expected.
Although, just as Tony had anticipated, the sounds of gunfire and shouting could be heard outside, not a single person was actually capable of breaking in.
Therefore, amid the commotion of gunfire, Tony’s armor was finally completed.
A mechanical suit standing more than two meters tall stood majestically in front of Yinsen.
“All right, lower me down.
Let’s go finish them off!”
“Got it!”
The final installation procedures were complete, and the armor was now ready for combat.
Yinsen released Tony from the assembly support frame, and the giant standing more than two meters tall firmly planted his feet on the ground.
Clenching his fists, Tony swung his arms a few times and found that his movements were completely unobstructed.
The program he had designed himself was extremely stable, so he nodded happily.
“Come on, let’s get started!”
Tony stepped out of the assembly area, walking with heavy footsteps that thudded one after another toward the cave’s large door.
Yinsen followed closely behind in a very cooperative manner, using Tony’s body as a shield.
However, when they arrived in front of the large door, an awkward situation occurred.
Tony himself had planted a bomb on the door.
The moment the door was pulled open, the bomb would explode with tremendous force.
Based on Tony’s calculations, the explosive power of this bomb was enough to blast the door away.
Even while wearing this armor, he would still be injured if he had to withstand the explosion.
The shockwave was no joke.
“Tony, what do we do now?”
Yinsen, who was following behind Tony, asked in confusion when he saw Tony stop walking.
“Um…
wait!”
“Wait?”
“Yeah, we can only wait now.
Wait until the people outside are wiped out, then let them break in and get themselves killed by this bomb.
Only then will the door open.”
Tony seemed completely unconcerned about Lancelot’s safety outside.
He had seen with his own eyes that Lancelot could turn into points of light and disappear, so he was certain that if Lancelot could not hold them off, he would simply turn into points of light and escape.
However, that was precisely what left Tony feeling helpless.
Originally, he had imagined that this bomb would at least slow down the terrorists who tried to break in, but now that his armor had been successfully assembled so smoothly, the bomb had become an obstacle to his own attempt to leave.
The bomb that was supposed to stop the terrorists was now stopping him from leaving the cave.
It was truly awkward.
An armored giant and a bespectacled doctor simply stood inside the doorway, staring at the door while listening to the activity outside.
There was quite a commotion outside.
The sounds of gunfire and metal impacts never stopped.
In between them, they could even hear several screams of pain, as well as someone reciting lines as though performing in an opera.
“Fairy’s Protection!”
“This is the place!”
“Ha!”
“Hah!”
“Look!
What about this one!”
It absolutely cannot fail!”
It sounded exactly like someone performing on a stage, and the lines were even delivered with an extremely clear tone of voice.
This caused Tony and Yinsen inside the doorway to look at each other, completely unable to understand what was happening outside.
They could only stare in confusion.
“Tony, that voice should belong to that knight, right?”
“Yeah.
There’s no mistaking that guy’s voice.
That’s definitely the bastard.”
Tony’s voice echoed from inside the helmet of his armor.
“He really can’t hold the door by himself, can he?”
“Hmm…
honestly, at first I thought he wouldn’t be able to hold it.
Because although he’s also wearing a suit of armor, I don’t think his armor could withstand Stark Industries’ weapons.
He’d just get shot full of holes like a sieve.
But he’s still perfectly fine out there.
Now I’m actually somewhat curious about the metal he used to make that armor.”
“Tony, I don’t really understand much about your armor, but there’s one thing I want to ask.
If he really does manage to guard this door, then what are we supposed to do?”
Yinsen’s words left Tony feeling awkward.
Looking at the bomb attached to the door, he began to worry.
He had installed this bomb himself.
To guarantee its destructive power, he had specifically configured it to detonate from even the slightest disturbance.
Now, however, it had become an awkward problem; he could not even defuse it himself, and the only way to resolve the situation was to let it explode.
But there was no way he could be the one to pull the bomb, right?
If he did that, then even while wearing this armor, he would still be blown away by the explosion.
At the same time, the commotion outside the door gradually began to die down.
Amid a succession of screams, the gunfire outside the door finally fell silent, leaving only a single sentence spoken like a poetic verse.
“Don’t blame me.
Blame this toughness!”
After those words were spoken, the outside became completely silent, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching the large door.
“Mr.
Stark, I’ve cleared out all the attackers outside.
You can come out now.”
Lancelot had dealt with all the terrorists outside, and the situation was now completely safe.
This caused Tony’s face behind his mask to immediately scrunch up.
What was he supposed to do?
Was he really going to tell Lancelot that he could not defuse the bomb inside himself?
“Mr.
Stark?
Can you hear me?
I’ve cleared everything outside.
You can come out now.”
As if assuming that Tony had not heard him, Lancelot raised his voice and shouted quite loudly.
“What do we do?”
“I don’t know either!”
“But you’re the one who planted the bomb.
Shouldn’t you be able to defuse it?”
“I designed it to be single-use.
I didn’t leave any way to defuse it!”
The two men looked extremely awkward, then spread their hands helplessly at each other, completely at a loss for what to do.
“Mr.
Stark, why aren’t you coming out?
I’ve already cleared all the enemies outside.”
Lancelot suddenly appearing in front of the two of them startled them so badly that they both jumped.
“Can you stop suddenly appearing—”
“This time, I didn’t appear behind you, Mr.
Stark.”
“Even if you don’t appear behind me, you still can’t do it!
You always suddenly appear like this.
You could give someone a heart attack!
Do you know that?!”
Lancelot did not pay much attention to it.
For a Servant to change from Spirit (Spiritform) back into physical form was perfectly normal.
It was simply that, from his perspective, Tony was always startled by situations like this.
“Mr.
Stark, I apologize for startling you.
But I’ve already taken care of everything outside.
Why haven’t you come out yet?”
Faced with Lancelot’s attempt to change the subject, Tony felt extremely awkward, and Yinsen was just as awkward.
Lancelot did not understand the meaning behind their expressions.
He turned around and prepared to push the door open, only to notice the explosive device attached to it—the very explosive device he had previously said was unnecessary.
“Something like this is no longer necessary.”
After saying that, he raised his right hand, lifted his great sword high into the air, and then slashed toward the explosive device.
“No!
No!
No!”
Tony and Yinsen shouted simultaneously, but it was already too late.
*BOOM!*
With a tremendous explosion, the two of them were immediately blasted away.
