Chapter 126

"Get out of there if it's dangerous!"

Leo, observing the encroaching circle of robotic soldiers and the menacingly prepared Ivan Vanko, offered a warning.

Unlike the earlier assembled army robots, which couldn't fly and could be wiped out with a combination of area-effect ninjutsu and magic, the remaining fourteen robots were dispersed and capable of high-speed flight, making it more challenging to deal with them all at once.

His magic and ninjutsu were indeed powerful, but modern machine guns and missiles had equally devastating firepower.

It's just that the combat programs of these robots weren't very smart; they lacked the flexibility of human response and required Ivan Vanko's control to perform better.

"Leo, don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Tony, raising his energy cannon, replied earnestly.

Even though Leo had pressured him to endorse his company and advertise on his armor, it was clear he valued Tony as a friend and cared for him, which touched Tony somewhat.

Leo looked at Tony with some confusion:

"I meant Wanda."

You're wearing a suit of iron armor, so taking a few missile hits isn't a big deal, and they're targeting you directly. Shouldn't you be at the front?

He was advising Wanda to use her teleportation to escape to a safe place if there was danger.

"I... I know you meant your wife, just joking."

Tony, hiding his embarrassment behind his visor, said with a straight face.

Wanda, seeing this, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Spread out!"

As Ivan's electric whips lashed towards them and the robots opened fire, Leo and Wanda used teleportation to escape the encirclement, positioning themselves behind two of the robots.

Tony also launched his armor into the air to avoid the attacks.

"I'll handle him; you deal with the robotic soldiers."

Tony accelerated and charged Ivan from the air, engaging him in close combat.

He knew that as long as he held Ivan back, the robots would fight with their built-in intelligence programs, significantly reducing their threat level.

"Thunder Explosion!"

Leo appeared behind a robotic soldier and cast an explosion spell, blowing it apart. Wanda followed up with several transformation spells, rendering another robot useless.

However, the remaining twelve robots, seemingly pre-programmed with battle instructions from Ivan, flew into the air and began attacking Wanda and Leo from above.

From previous battles, Ivan had noticed that while Leo and Wanda's magic was impressive, they had a weakness: neither could fly.

Moreover, most magic could be avoided with timely dodges.

"This isn't good."

Seeing all twelve robots airborne and most magic attacks evaded, with Tony struggling against Ivan's electric whips, Leo furrowed his brows.

"Rat-tat-tat!"

The twelve robots abandoned their less effective missiles for faster-firing machine guns, creating a suppressive fire from the air, forcing Leo and Wanda to continuously cast protective spells.

Leo wanted to use a more powerful fire spell to incinerate the airborne robots, but his current control over the fire spell made it likely to cause collateral damage.

So he decided against it, as it wasn't necessary yet.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"

While maintaining his protective spell, Leo switched from individual explosive spells to the broader Phoenix Fire Jutsu, shooting out a large number of fireballs.

As the airborne robots evaded the fireballs, he took out four explosive tags left from a previous mission.

He quickly touched each tag with his wand, transforming them into paper airplanes that flew toward the air.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"

After this, he launched another barrage of fireballs for a counterattack, with Wanda continuously sending out red magical beams.

The robots' intelligence programs detected the danger and prioritized evading the fireballs and magical energy attacks.

At this moment, the four paper airplane explosive tags, which couldn't be detected as dangerous, silently approached the evasive robots and quickly adhered to them under Leo's control.

"Boom!"

Leo formed a hand seal, and the four explosive tags detonated simultaneously, destroying four of the robots in a burst of fireworks.

"Looks like I'll need to learn how to make explosive tags when I visit the Naruto world next time!"

Seeing the effects of the explosive tags, Leo couldn't help but remark, then formed another seal:

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A water dragon shot from Leo's mouth, rapidly closing in on one of the airborne robots.

As a B-rank jutsu, the Water Dragon Bullet had a similar power to the C-rank Great Fireball Jutsu but could be controlled after release, making it highly accurate and difficult to dodge.

"Boom!"

A robot previously hit by the explosive tags, sensing the approaching danger, dodged the Water Dragon Bullet. However, the dragon swiftly turned and clamped down on it, slamming it into the ground.

"Seven left!"

With twelve initially, four were taken out by the explosive tags, one by the Water Dragon Bullet, leaving seven robots in the air.

The reduced number of robots significantly eased the pressure on Leo and Wanda, making it a matter of time to take down the remaining seven.

Just then, Leo suddenly sensed an imminent threat.

It was Ivan, noticing Leo's progress in destroying five robots, throwing the battered Tony to the ground.

Ivan then lashed a whip towards Leo, aiming for a devastating strike.

If hit, Leo would likely be severely injured or even severed in two, similar to how Ivan once split Tony's car with a whip.

Teleportation was too slow to evade, and the protective spell took longer to cast than teleportation.

So Leo quickly pulled out a sturdy shield from his task space and held it in front of him.

The electric whip struck the shield with tremendous force, nearly breaking it and sending Leo flying.

"You dare harm him!"

Seeing Leo thrown by the electric whip, Wanda, who had been maintaining her protective spell, was engulfed in a surge of red light, glaring angrily at Ivan.
