Chapter 36 - Bloody Elements

Zhao looked in the distance through the little holes inlaid in the metal mask he wore on his face, he was staring at the huge fireball that had appeared in the city, he guessed that was the precursor to the signal Damon had talked about earlier, sure enough in a matter of seconds, he felt the peculiar compulsion in the depths of his soul.

Taking a deep breath and fastening the mask covering his face he started walking towards the president of the parliament's house.

The elite bender guards who were on edge because of the unexpected huge fireball that appeared in the middle of the night quickly spotted the incoming Zhao.

Seeing a masked man with red eye's walking towards the president's villa they didn't think twice or say any nonsense and immediately attacked. Flames, water and all other elements accurately flooded Zhao's previous position.

The dust and smoke raised because of the attacks dissipated quickly revealing a torn cloak lying on the ground.

"Behind" a quick-thinking earth bender shouted before a huge fist tore through his chest instantly ending his life.

A huge muscular man with a metal mask appeared in the middle of the guard's his fist still bloody, and a ferocious tyrannical aura spread from the man suppressing everyone around.

Zhao looked totally different from the average looking pale parliament member he was in the day, he was a grandmaster water bender and coupled with his instinctual grasp of blood he received as Damon's close kin he was able to manipulate all muscles and blood in his body making him have a scary close combat power.

Within minutes' screams and mutilated bodies filled the air.

His mission was to attack her and cause a disturbance so he did not really have to attack the president in the villa and thankfully so, Zhao knew for a fact that there were at least 2 grandmaster level benders who protected the president closely at all times, although in battle Zhao might win but he was not going to risk himself to fight such a battle he was just going to stand here in front of the villa waiting for more reinforcements he was sure would arrive soon when members of the city guard and army hear of the president being attacked.

Perched on a tree like a vulture overlooking the small army camp stationed in the city, a thin figure with a sick smile was overlooking the busy camp.

His sick laughter increased and soon the members of the camp noticed the weird man standing on the tree, the man had spiky hair colourful hair that was like the crown of a chicken, a hook nose and a sly sick smile on his face.

He was one of Damon's four grandmaster level kin, an normal gangster who after being transformed awakened to an airbender and quickly became a grandmaster level figure.

Before the army members started to attack he himself exploded turning into a bloody fog that was descending unto the camp below, seeing this an army's sergeant's face changed instinctively uneasy and barked to his soldiers "air benders, block the mist."

The few air bending masters in the army quickly formed an air wall blocking the mist, although the mist was blocked, a weird smell penetrated through the air wall, the soldiers close to the air wall quickly changed their faces and shouted "poison" before vomiting blots of blood and falling dead on the ground losing their breath.

The blood spit out of the ground also started atomizing turning in to mist quickly making the camp filled with the blood mist, the gloomy sick laughter sounded again from all directions.

From the depths of the camp, the earth rumbled and shook, the whole terrain changed, changing from a plain to a hill, mountains were born taking away all members who were trapped in the poisonous bloody mist.

An average-looking middle-aged man was on the highest peak with his palm to the ground looking coldly at the red mist below, he was the earth bending grandmaster, the major, the highest officer stationed in this military camp.

With a stomp, the earth rumbled and the earth split moving swiftly taking the remaining living members away from the battlefield.

The mist seemed to have sentience and wanted to follow the injured soldiers but the grandmaster just hummed coldly and with a few weird movements of his limbs pushed the mountain peak's he had created earlier back into the ground at alarming speeds causing the earth to crack and magma from the depths of the earth due to a drastic change in the terrain quickly spewed out burning the bloody mist, the ever-present laughter in the mist quickly stopped and horrible screams of pain soon resounded through the area, the mist quickly gathered together trying to fly away but the army grandmaster was still watching closely and kept changing the terrain ingeniously directing the magma at the mist.

The mist quickly reduced reforming back into the figure who was perched on the tree before, his weird hairstyle now bald, half of his body badly burnt showing his skeleton and innards which were also smoky and black having being burnt and suffered tremendous damage.

The major quickly guided the rest of the magma back underground preparing to capture the injured attacker without giving him time to regenerate after all he had heard about the weird red-eyed bloodsuckers and their distinct figure was their scary healing ability.

Before he put his ideas into action a terrifying comet burning with bloody coloured flames emerged suddenly out of nowhere and attacked him.
