Chapter: 42
I quickly used 200 MP and rapidly threw up a Lightshield in front and behind us. It was just in time as an instant later, grenades slammed into one shield, and Aldrich hit the other. The latter let out some choice expletives as his sneak attack on tony was thwarted.
"What the fuck?" Tony exclaimed in shock at seeing Aldrich turn into a flaming humanoid and try to jump him. "What the hell did you do to yourself, Killian? Did you turn yourself into a mutant!?"
Tony's confusion was justifiable. Seeing it up close, Extremis made Aldrich look like a flaming zombie. I should have briefed Tony on the full capabilities of Extremis beforehand, but I had no reasonable explanation as to how I knew about it in the first place.
"This is the future of warfare, Tony! This is the power of Extremis and the results of my genius!" Aldrich replied even as he never stopped slamming his fists into my Lightshield. He wasn't strong enough to break it anytime soon though. I also only needed to hold it a few more seconds. Just enough time for Tony's Iron Man armor to have fully finished forming around him.
