Playing Waterbending (Avatar: Last Aibender SI)-Chapter 80

One of the best things about having an extra sense was the ability to hear and see things that people normally don't notice. And the greatest perk of having a system was that it could upgrade on its own with each level-up. Although my vision through humidity wasn't as clear as what I could see with my real eyes, hearing with that aqua sense had a much wider range.

I guess, unlike Toph, I'm more of a sound person.

As long as I focused on a specific sound wave, I could ignore all the extra noise.

Right now, I was hearing about a supply ship under attack.

"You've got a supply ship that's under attack," I said to the confused Pakku.

Pakku tilted his head and replied, "That's not funny, Master Ryuk."

"I'm not your master, and yes, it's not funny. But it's true," I replied calmly.

"You're not joking?" Pakku said in a confused tone.

He didn't seem to believe me.

But soon enough, he'd start believing.

Man, I was channeling my inner Morpheus today.

"Soon, two men will enter and report. At the same time, someone will ring a bell," I said confidently.

I thought about what this situation was missing—some tea to sip on.

Before Pakku could ask any more questions, two men in guard attire entered.

"Master Pakku, we've spotted three Fire Nation ships surrounding our supply ship. Though ours is faster, they've trapped it in a formation. What should we do? We need waterbenders," they told him.

"Right, take everyone you need," Pakku replied hurriedly, standing up and getting ready to engage in war mode.

But then he paused and turned to me, his eyes wide.

Ding Ding

I heard what I assumed was the alarm bells ringing.

"How?" he asked.

"Sir, that's the usual alarm," replied one of the two guards.

But the question wasn't directed at them—it was directed at me.

Pakku kept staring at me.

I stood up and replied, "It's a magic trick."

Ignoring the dumbfounded expression on his face, I walked past him.

Anyway, the North Pole's supply ship was under attack.

Since I was staying here and trying to earn their trust—enough to get closer to the fishes—I knew I had to help them.

Afterward, they'd see me as someone they needed, and they wouldn't bother me while I stayed here.

That is, until Zhao shows up.

If not, I was doomed to stay here forever.

And if you're wondering why "forever," it's because he could strike at any moment to kill the fishes, which gave me my waterbending power, just like the rest of the population.

Why didn't I think of that before?

I walked out of the building, my hand palming my face.

'No, it's okay. I can chase after him. After all, I can't miss the day of the eclipse... but staying here is worth the risk,' I thought to myself.

Around me, I could see guards running, waterbenders sliding on the ice, and some even flying with the waves that appeared from the ice.

I guess to them, the supply ship was very important.

And I couldn't blame them. After learning about how delicious food grown in sunny areas could be, I'd kill for a piece of it.

I decided to pick up speed. My feet left the ground, and I found myself flying faster than anyone.

Soon, I reached the wall.

The waterbenders were preparing their boats.

At the horizon, I saw a smokeless wooden blue ship surrounded by four ships with black smoke billowing from them. It was clear these four belonged to the Fire Nation.

'Attacking the supply ship... smart strategy in a prolonged battle. But at the same time, aren't they worried about provoking the waterbenders to attack them while they sleep? It's not like waterbenders can't swim faster than their ships... Who the hell is leading these North Pole guys?' I thought to myself, clicking my tongue.

I jumped off the wall and landed in the water, using my waterbending to help me swim.

I stood in the middle of the ships that had been attacked.

'Now that I think about it, attacking from underwater in these situations isn't always wise, as it could lead to friendly fire. But I have more experience.'

I decided to go with the plan I had in mind.

I waved my hand, creating a wall of water that rose from the ocean, separating the supply ship from the Fire Nation's ships. I froze the wall and then, using my waterbending, created a curtain that carried the supply ship. I must admit, creating such a curtain took a lot of energy, but I had plenty.

As the ship moved farther and the ice remained firm, the soldiers tried to break through, but I guess the ice could get tougher than metal when it reached a certain degree.

'Before there was blood, there was icebending. And I've had that upgraded with each level.'

I swam like a fish, creating an ice propel-fan with my icebending skills. With my current level, my sculpting skills were good enough to put me in the art history books.

The ice propel-fan was pretty big, and it even had joints. A true work of art. I waved my hand, making it spin while I stayed underneath.

The water started getting pulled from all around and was pushed downward, avoiding hitting me.

As for the ships above, they lost control because I created a whirlpool above them. Their speed, spinning in one direction, increased with every rotation.

I clapped my hands, and the ships sank completely. Some unfortunate soldiers were pulled into the whirlpool and sliced in half.

That was an unfortunate sight to see.

But this was war. If you go to someone else's land to kill them, you don't get to complain when they fight back.

[Ding...]

[Ding...]

The notifications kept ringing in my ear. I ignored them, freezing any soldiers that got in the water. As the ships sank, I wrapped them completely in cold ice.

[Freeze up to level 12]

[Freeze up to level 13]

'That must've been at least a hundred soldiers,' I thought, waving my hand above me to melt the propel-fan into water before rising to the surface.

I saw the boats approaching me with soldiers on them. They looked at me strangely, stunned as if they'd seen something they shouldn't have.

At their lead was Pakku.

"How?" he asked.

"I froze them. They're under the water if you want to loot them or take their bodies. But it'll take a lot of work," I said, waving my hand dismissively.

"Don't worry about that. We can bend ice," Pakku said, putting his hand on his forehead. "I was talking about the giant whirlpool. How did you make it? It would take ten of us to achieve half of what you did."

"Let's just say... creativity." I floated out of the water and waved my hand. "Anyway, I've done my part in helping you guys. Call me when you need me."

Before he could ask any more questions, I flew away toward the land.

'Now that I think about it, isn't the North Pole a frozen ocean, and the South Pole a frozen land?' I thought to myself. 'But that's Earth, right? If this world is based on Earth, then where the hell is Africa...'

Ignoring my wandering thoughts, I reached my residence, where my team was staying.

I shook myself, making the icy water fly off.

Despite being adapted to the cold, I didn't like it. It reminded me of the time I woke up early every morning while looking for the Avatar.

God, how much I hated it.

That bald monk better stay frozen, because if he gets out after I've finished taking care of everything, I'll beat his ass.

My water sense started tingling.

There was another person in the residence. Two.

I walked slowly inside, able to see who it was without revealing myself.

Sokka was kissing a woman.

I smiled widely.

'The next step is to convince her father to let him stay here forever.'

Captain Zhao smiled widely.

After taking down four ships on their side, the North Pole's guard was down.

He had taken a huge risk by diving into the water.

Usually, a firebender wouldn't attempt this without the sun in the sky, and it was extremely cold. Luckily, Zhao had been trained by one of the best firebenders in the world and knew how to adapt to the cold.

He wouldn't have attempted this under normal circumstances.

But now, his fire had a new fuel—grudge.

Firebenders can turn their emotions into fire, and that's what makes them different from one another. Some use rage, some use greed, and others use calmness. That's what his teacher had taught him.

Underwater, Zhao could see the ice separating the land above from the ocean.

Something hit him.

He turned his head, his eyes widening.

A frozen body appeared before him.

From the armor it was wearing, it belonged to his side.

'Motherfuckers!' he thought, his eyes widening as his mouth opened, the air slipping out.

Zhao quickly closed his mouth.

He couldn't believe he had made such an amateur mistake.

But the surprise and panic had made him lose all his breath.

Soon, he struggled in the water, losing consciousness.

The plan he had made with the commander—to attack at night and sneak in to kill the spirits—was about to fail because of something so stupid.

"Not going to let you die, Zhao. You still have a mission to do." I clicked my tongue after I created a hole in the ice and fished Zhao out with bloodbending.

I couldn't believe my whole plan was about to get ruined.

I had super hearing, and I heard Zhao's little plan for tonight. I couldn't let him fail, not now.

I put my hands on Zhao's chest, pushing the water out and trying to save his life.
