Northeastern Earth Kingdom
Lake Laogai ….
The noise created by the stone door seemed to awaken the figure whose back was resting against the wall. Her eyelids opened slowly, revealing a pair of amber colored pupils.
Seeing the person at the door, those eyes narrowed greatly to form a menacing glare of epic proportions.
“It's been some time since my last visit. A month or so, if I'm correct”.
He uttered in a deep voice full of indifference.
Thud, Thud, Thud.
“Aren't I, prestigious General?”
“…”. There was no response. The female general remained silent, giving Long Feng nothing but a cold stare.
“Oh, don't look at me like that. You make it seem like I .....”. Noting her silence, a sinister smirk made its way up his lips as he resumed talking.
However, his expression changed drastically halfway through his sentence. As under Long Feng's gaze, the female general suddenly inhaled sharply, her lungs taking in a large amount of air as it mixed with the chi created flames in a split second.
The next …. She pushed her body forward slightly and blew out. What emerged from her chapped lips wasn't air but a large fireball of massive proportions.
Rumble
The area where Long Feng stood was enveloped in flames as the Firebender released the fire breath for a good four seconds before stopping.
“Ha … Ha … Ha …". A wave of exhaustion hit her like the tide did the seashore, causing her well-developed chest area to heave up and down while beads of sweat emerged all over her body.
Nevertheless, her fierce, almost cannibalistic gaze remained fixed on the area where the Grand Secretariat once stood to see the results of her newly released fire breathing blast.
“…. Why am I not surprised”. The smoke dissipated, revealing a wall of solid earth erected from the ground. The front area that bore the brunt of the attack was scorched black, while Long Feng's voice emerged from behind it.
Thud! Thud!
Stepping out of the earth wall erected to defend himself was the Grand Secretariat. His previous cunning smirk gone, replaced with a frown and a slightly unsightly expression.
Those Jade green eyes peered into her Amber colored ones that showed nothing but coldness and defiance.
Patting the imaginary dust off his body, Long Feng continued.
“Wasting what little Chi you can muster for a moment's satisfaction. It seems that the Mind Conversion sessions have done little to temper your fiery temper”.
As he spoke, his expression soon returned to one of indifference. Stopping where he was and refusing to advance a step further.
He wasn't willing to risk the possibility of another blast to the face despite her seemingly spent appearance.
It was true that the vast majority of Firebenders have personalities that could be likened to erupting volcanoes.
'Tch ..... Irritable as always'.
Onomu didn't reply to his statement. Her face showing no surprise, frustration or distraught at the fact that her attack had no results.
It was getting increasingly harder to burn these bastards after the first five in the early part of the year.
