”Look—

Gwaagh!”

A mind-numbing bone crunch rang sonorously with the pained groans chiming from behind as another fire nation soldier fell on his knees with his forehead filled with cold sweat and his body spasming in pain.

”You are—”

Smack

Before the brave soldier could identify the assaulter, the said assaulter kicked the soldier right in his face before sending him to the unconscious dreamlands.

The fire soldiers, unlike their navy counterpart, didn't distinguish between a bender and a non-bender, so Nik decided that it would be good for him to remain cautious of any potential bender before deciding to use his own superior physique to neutralize their threat.

His moves didn't have any flowery techniques nor any elegance hidden in the movement of his hand. He simply grabbed a person's arm and twisted it unnaturally before smacking him on the back and sending him to a relieving dreamland. All the while, his Bloodline skill was activated for the whole time, dulling the senses of the soldiers around him.

”Huff!”

The cold night hid Nik's vaporous breathing as he looked towards the tall wall before looking at one of the two gates of the city. There was no way he could climb to the top before attracting any attention so he decided to find the 'traitors' selected by the fire nation.

The group of traitorous earth Kingdom citizen might just have an unexpected surprise for him.

'Although... I can just use Gravity to attract the lower part of the wall... making the whole section crumble.'

Nik pondered.

While Katara slept peacefully with her throat groaning out his name in illicit fashion, Nik and Yue were actually studying the Gravity scroll looted... obtained from Wan Shi Tong. The scroll contained the long list of horrible actions taken by the previous gravity benders before the scroll cautioned the user that most of the troublesome Gravity Benders usually vanish without even being able to leave a distinctive legacy.

The moves, then, described on the scroll were pretty basic. The most important thing was on how to concentrate on the gravitational waves surrounding the benders before manipulating it to their own advantage and objectives.

While Nik used to simply transform and control his own element, the method to weave gravitational waves itself was quite an intricate process with a lot of dangers involved.

The process also required the number of Elemental energy units he did not have. So rejecting the thought of reducing an entire section of the walls to a rubble, he looked towards the brightly lit camp and looked at the fallen fire soldiers.

He frowned, the man beneath his foot was too tiny with a thinner frame. Looking around, he finally found someone with a perfect match, much to his own surprise.

Stripping the man, Nik placed his tunic in his inventory before wearing the bloodied fire nation uniform. But curiosity took the best of him.

He looked at the youth for an entire minute before his hands flashed quickly and lowered the guy's underpants, revealing his flaccid brother.

”... Such a similar body and yet... such a disappointment... sigh.”

Nik didn't even find the man's little brother worthy enough to get covered again and immediately placed the helmet on the top of his head before he dashed towards the camp while cheering... ehm, shouting loudly.

”ENEMIES! GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!”

Alas, today, the youth's bushy brother was destined to be exposed to the unfortunate and unprepared sets of eyes.

Meanwhile, a flurry of activity erupted within the camp while the entrance of multiple tents was slapped open as half-dressed and unprepared soldiers rushed and prepared for battle. Some of the soldiers allegedly wielded fire as their weapon of choice while holler of enraged soldiers erupted from the path Nik decided to take.

Obviously, the unconscious bodies of the soldiers were finally discovered and Nik's shout only fuelled their rage.

Sidestepping and immediately entering the dark shades of the trees, Nik let the passage to the tent get covered by soldiers while making a swift infiltration into the camp. Being one of the larger camps Nik had observed in the area, there was a good chance that a few 'traitors' must be present in the camp.

Whoosh!

Before he could place his next step, the ground beneath him immediately softened, making Nik fall before momentum took over, forcing him to roll over the ground head-first and slamming into a dark tree with a cold thud.

”Ah! Now that really struck hard!

Man, I have never seen anyone running so fast... almost lost my eyes on you!

Gihihihi!”
