"Damn it! Have you ever seen a devil that controls lightning?! That's clearly an angel, an angel who commands thunder!"
Some of the terrorists scrambled to define Jin's identity based on their limited religious knowledge.
Even though they were wildly speculating about Jin, their fingers never stopped pulling the trigger.
"Thunder Dragon's Horn!"
Lightning surged wildly around Jin's body as he charged headfirst into the stunned terrorists!
With that single impact, several terrorists who couldn't react in time died instantly, while those within Jin's attack range were electrocuted to death by the lightning surrounding his body.
Tony watched in shock as Jin, shrouded in electricity, darted through the terrorists like a living bolt of lightning.
Every strike was accompanied by roaring thunder and dazzling sparks. The terrorists scattered in a panic, but no matter how they ran, they couldn't escape the deadly lightning attacks.
"Mr. Tony Stank! If you don't start helping me out, I won't be able to hold on much longer!"
After using Dragon Slayer Magic for only a short while, Jin's face had already turned deathly pale.
Even though he had obtained Dragon Slayer Magic in the previous world, at the end of the day, Jin was still just a nine-year-old child.
After Jin's fierce assault, every single terrorist's attention was now locked onto him.
And in that brief moment of distraction, Tony finally snapped out of his daze, quickly activating the remaining functions of his armor.
Although the thrusters were damaged, he still managed to keep the suit in a basic combat stance.
Fortunately, the weapons system on the Mark I was still intact!
Even though Tony wasn't pleased with Jin's casual way of butchering his name, he still coordinated with the little kid to counterattack the terrorists!
"Thunder Dragon's Claw!"
"Thunder Dragon's Iron Fist!"
"Thunder Dragon's Elbow Strike!"
The battle was over in mere moments!
Under Jin's relentless assault, the terrorists within the base suffered devastating casualties in an instant!
Of course, Jin himself wasn't doing much better!
Before he had even fallen into Afghanistan, he had already drained a significant amount of energy traveling through dimensions.
Now, after pushing himself to use Dragon Slayer Magic at such an intense level, finally, Jin's body could no longer endure it—he collapsed.
"You little brat!"
After Jin had drawn away most of the terrorists' firepower, Tony Stark quickly activated his flamethrower, burning the remaining terrorists and all the leftover firearms and explosives outside the base.
Once the timing was right, Tony roughly grabbed the unconscious Jin, tucking him under his arm, and took off at full speed—escaping from the soon-to-explode Ten Rings base!
As expected, after escaping the terrorist base, Tony's Mark I suit didn't get far before it lost power and crashed into the desert!
"Damn it! That was close."
Although Jin's body had been tempered by dragon's blood, he had no protective gear, so the impact still left him dizzy and disoriented!
"Not bad!"
Tony had anticipated that the Mark I would fall apart midair, so he wasn't particularly surprised.
After resting for a bit, Tony struggled to crawl out of the wreckage of his suit.
"Little wizard! You okay?"
Tony quickly walked over to Jin, lifting him up and shaking him several times.
"Mr. Stark, if you shake me any harder, my newly healed ribs are going to break again."
Jin groaned in pain under Tony's vigorous shaking!
The landing had been far too rough—so much so that Jin could clearly feel three of his ribs had broken, and his shoulder blade was likely fractured as well.
"Oh? Is that so? Then I should shake you a few more times."
Seeing that Jin was still conscious, Tony finally felt relieved. Of course, he couldn't resist messing with the little brat a bit.
"Oh wow, thanks so much for that," Jin muttered sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Tony was only joking, though.
After resting for a while, the two of them started wandering aimlessly through the desert.
They walked for two whole days. By this point, Jin's injuries had mostly healed, but the journey had still been torturous as he trudged behind Tony.
Finally, Tony's good friend Rhodey arrived in a helicopter to find them!
...
Ugh!
"How much longer until we get to America?"
Jin lay sprawled out, completely limp on the private jet heading back to the United States.
As expected—since he had become a Dragon Slayer Wizard, the infamous side effect of Dragon Slayer Magic was now hitting him hard.
"Hahaha! Little wizard, this is the 106th time you've asked that since getting on the plane. Just hang in there—we'll be back in the U.S. soon."
Tony smirked, clearly enjoying Jin's suffering as he teased him.
Jin weakly rolled his eyes, secretly vowing that once they reached a safe place, he would find a way to get back at this loudmouthed billionaire.
However, at the moment, he simply didn't have the energy to argue. As someone who suffered from extreme motion sickness, Jin could only pray that the plane would land as soon as possible.
Ugh—!
Jin groaned again in misery.
The moment he had stepped onto the plane, he had already emptied everything from his stomach.
Tony paid no attention to Jin, who was sprawled on the floor, and instead casually opened a bottle of expensive liquor, taking a sip.
Ugh—!
Hearing Jin's groan again, Tony couldn't help but smirk.
For some reason, listening to Jin's suffering filled him with an odd sense of satisfaction.
Of course, Tony would never admit that he was still holding a grudge over Jin calling him Stank.
Absolutely not!
Ugh—!
"Huh, weird… This drink tastes especially good today. Really strange, isn't it?" Tony said with obvious schadenfreude.
Jin wanted to retaliate somehow, but the moment he gathered enough strength—
Ugh—!
Yep, he collapsed again, completely drained.
"I won't forget this day…"
Tears of humiliation slid down Jin's face.
Ugh…!
Alright, fine—even his tears betrayed him, spilling down uncontrollably.
...
High above the plane carrying Jin and Tony Stark, a pair of eyes silently observed Jin's every move.
"Interesting… This little one actually carries a young dragon inside him? But his energy is so chaotic."
"If not for that young dragon, this kid probably would have already started transforming into a full-fledged dragon himself, wouldn't he?"
"And that Dragon Slayer Magic… It's quite fascinating. Judging by how its energy flows, it definitely doesn't belong to this world."
Had anyone been watching those eyes, they would have seen them reflecting the vast Himalayan Mountains.
Atop one of the peaks, a bald woman in a yellow robe stood in silent observation, gazing into the distance.
Had Jin been able to see her, he would have immediately recognized her as none other than the Ancient One—the Sorcerer Supreme and protector of Earth from the Marvel movies of his previous life!
A true powerhouse—and the only person on Earth who had taken notice of Jin's presence!
And it couldn't be helped—any unusual spatial disturbances on Earth would always draw the Ancient One's attention.
The moment Jin had used his mutant ability to travel across dimensions, she had sensed the anomaly.
Now that Jin had returned to this world, he had naturally become a key subject of the Ancient One's observation!
"If this little one can learn to control that chaotic energy, he might just have the potential to become a candidate for the next Sorcerer Supreme."
Meanwhile, as Jin lay unconscious in deep sleep, he was brought back to the United States.
Not long after, a bald man in a wheelchair and a beautiful woman arrived at Tony Stark's estate—and took Jin away.
