Chapter 35

***

Sokka on the upper floor was staring at his Map while arguing with his sister and he saw Zhao. 

Before when on the ship, he didn't have the time to go and finish off Zhao with his own hands. But now he had the perfect chance to kill him. 

Sokka had predicted that Zhao by now learned, the hard way, that running away while your men fight wasn't the best idea. 

He was counting on the Admiral being mad, angry, and swearing bloody revenge. Since Zhao must be in such emotional turmoil, then he will most likely lead his men, and he was confident in his ability to win as hundreds of Fire Nation soldiers were here. That way, Sokka could finish him here and now.

Of course, these thoughts were all speculation by Sokka, and anything could go wrong at any time. He knew that too. But at least there was a plan in place to finish off a person that could cause a lot of problems in the future. 

**

After finishing his arguments and leaving his sister seeming pretty annoyed, Sokka sat on the ground with his spear in his hand. He seemed to be as off-guard as always, but instead, he was looking at the Map, waiting for someone or something to appear. 

He wondered if Roku's talk with Aang was so long in the original story. But he dismissed such thoughts as soon as they came because they would be useless in what was going to come. 

Suddenly rapid footsteps were heard through the staircases and a dozen Fire Nation soldiers burst through, Zhao was amidst them, he had positioned himself where it would be safe, even while 'leading' the charge.

"You bastard!" yelled out Zhao in anger, as his eyes were filled with malicious intent as he stared at Sokka. "I will kill you and your whole family!"

Katara froze in fear when she saw the madness in his eyes. But Sokka was different and instead he just had a casual smile on his face. "Couldn't you come alone at least?"

He then got up and clenched the spear in his hand, taking a throwing position which made Zhao back off in fear, as the mad look disappeared from his eyes and his whole being was filled with terror at Sokka's gaze.

Fwish!

The spear flew through the air like a flash. "Ahhh!!" Zhao screamed when he saw the spear, heading towards him, and fell but-first on the ground. Even though he knew that the spear couldn't pierce through the dozen of men in front of him were like meat shields. The unspeakable terror he felt wasn't something he could dismiss so easily. "Monster!!"

Clang!

But, unexpectedly the spear had flown past everyone's head and landed on the rocks above. It had sunk quite deep into the stone, showing the terrifying power behind it. 

While Sokka's strength stat wasn't anything special, averaging at a 22. But with the stats boost from the spear, his strength became at a monstrous 72.

"Hahahaha!!" Zhao laughed in joy, almost crazily, as he looked at the spear and then back at Sokka. "You stupid boy! Hahahaha! You missed!"

"You should really check what I was aiming for. Before doing this villain speech, as it makes you look stupid." Sokka pointed towards the spear and everyone looked at it. Cracks had spread around the place it had hit, and Shyu, as a well-studied Fire Sage was the first to catch on to what happened. 

"That's genius." Shyu couldn't help but praise the young man's intelligence. It was nothing short of brilliant for someone his age. 

The spot that the spear pierced was something so perfectly calculated that made Shyu wonder how the young man was able to calculate things so precisely. 

As the crack on the socks spread, they covered the whole wall, and finally, everyone caught what was going on. 

Sokka wasn't planning on killing Zhao with that attack, he intended to trap him in and keep the rest of the troops out.

By now quite a lot of troops had tiredly climbed through the stairs, but only to look on in despair as Sokka's spear throw had caused major damage to the structure of the wall above them.

"Everyone go back!"

"Run!"

"The ceiling is going to fall on us!"

Yelled the men as they tried running back, but due to being a big group in such a tight place. The stairs and hallway leading to the room fell, and many red dots disappeared from the Gamer Map.

Sokka felt a sense of glee rising within him, as he just made the numbers advantage the enemy had useless. The Fire Benders would be unable to pass through to them for quite a while, so he wasn't worried how long Aang would take anymore.

"P -Please, spare us! No, even sparing me is enough! Please!!" Zhao was the first to grovel, knowing the situation that he was in now had become dire. 

But Sokka wasn't feeling merciful and even if he had to kill someone in front of his sister. He didn't mind it right now. She would forgive him later, they were family and he believed that their bond wouldn't break over him killing someone. 

He glanced at the Fire Nation soldiers and simply said. "You are not my target. Do you want to sacrifice your lives for a cowardly commander willing to sacrifice your lives without a second thought?"

Amongst the dozen soldiers, some took on fighting positions while the others gave up and went to the side. 

"The Fire Nation soldiers never give up!" yelled out one of the soldiers who was willing to fight.

Seeing no other resolution to the situation, Sokka took a knife out of his pocket, which was the trick he always used to hide bringing something out of his inventory. 

A fierce atmosphere enveloped him, and it felt like a fierce beast had just pulled out its claws.

[Killer Intent leveled up to Level 2]

[Killer Intent leveled up to Level 3]

[Killer Intent leveled up to Level 4]

[Killer Intent leveled up to Level 5]

Killer intent, an intimidation skill that was essentially useless most of the time, leveled up as Sokka looked the Fire Nation soldiers willing to oppose him right in the eye. It unnerved them. Especially since with each passing second, the dangerous feeling around their enemy seemed to intensify. 

As Sokka walked closer, they could sense their heartbeats clung in their heads as they saw the young man with a malicious aura and evil gaze in his eyes casually walk towards them. It felt like their blood seemed to clot in their veins due to fear.

"We give up! Please don't kill us!" even the soldiers willing to fight against him had their wills crushed by the pressure alone. 

'What can we do against such a guy with only this many people?' Those were the thoughts of everyone who initially decided to fight. If they had more people with them, this wouldn't have worked, but now it was different, the hundreds of soldiers that had gathered here had become useless as they couldn't enter the room.

****

-Sokka POV-

Seeing that they had given up, I smiled gently at them. "Good choice." Then I casually walked towards Zhao, having all of these firebenders gathered here was dangerous, even for me. They were stupid with their decisions were made during a moment of blinding fear and greed.

Fwish!

I threw my dagger at Zhao, his eyes widened in fear and he tried to pull back to dodge the knife. But it was all for naught because with the speed it was thrown and him lying on the ground, he wouldn't be able to dodge it.

As the dagger was about to sink in his forehead, it suddenly stopped mid-air, making me frown. This wasn't planned, and the space cracked open, a gray hand came through and grabbed the levitating knife. "You seem very insistent on killing this man?"

The familiar, feminine, and hypnotic voice came through the crack. Long black hair, yellow eyes with red irises, and also wearing a purple dress. 

[???? (???)]

Nothing, no information on her was gotten by using [Observe]. Even though I already was almost 100% sure of who she was. 

The woman was the Evil Lady, and I have to say, while she was beautiful. I have never wanted to kill someone more than her. 

Before, she only observed me. But now, she directly intervenes in my life. I will kill her with my own hands if she wants to mess around… I will play her games. 

"I-It's you!!" stuttered Shyu, while pointing at the woman fearfully.

"Oh? You are one of those Fire Priests. Did you put the information on how to kill Raava to good use?" she inquired amusingly while her eyes were glued on me. 

She wanted a reaction out of me, but sadly for her, I won't be giving her any. As expected, she was the one who gave the Fire Sages the information about how to kill the avatar permanently.

[You were able to correctly predict a carefully thought scheme, intelligence increased by 1]

But this bitch didn't know something. She had no idea of the future, but I did. Now it will have to become a battle of time, after all… Aang was going to come out as Roku. Let's see how she handles fighting against one of the strongest spirits. 

"Oh? You are hiding something?" The Evil Lady had an entertained smile on her face. As expected, someone like her who had lived so long wasn't stupid.

Fwish!

Within a second, before I could even react she was in front of me and the palm of her hand was on my forehead. "Let's see what intriguing thoughts are hidden in here."
