Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

It was fortunate that the wrath of men couldn't last for long with how easily distracted they were by the fight that was happening.

So, Ning managed to get out of the situation without making too many attackers.

He fought the warrior a few more times, long enough for him to realize what was happening.

'He gets stronger the lower his HP is?' he thought. That was the only explanation. And with HP regeneration being reduced by 80%, the man wasn't healing as much and was thus getting stronger by the second.

'Shit! I really can't do this,' Ning thought and slowly backed off into the fighting demons until he was side by side with them.

"This man is trying to go for the commander, kill him!" Ning shouted at the demons, and successfully managed to grab the attention of 2 demons who joined him to fight.

The warrior fought against the 3 of them, but they had so slowly back away. He very much relied on his ability to get stronger by having low health and a passive skill that improved his health regeneration the lower it got.

However, with it reduced, every instance of damage that landed on him remained for a while as he wasn't able to heal relatively quickly.

Still, the man's attack speed was fast, so he fought off the two other demons helping Ning and finally walked towards Ning, all battered and bloodied.

Ning fought back, but with such little health, the man dodged each one of his attacks and landed each one of his attacks on him.

Ning's hp slowly fell and he was sure he was going to die when all of a sudden, he felt rejuvenated as all HP and Mana that everyone else should have recovered in the last 2 minutes suddenly fell onto Ning.

At the same time, Ning pulled out a card from his deck and activated it.

[Reflection: Reflect 100% of all damage you take. Lasts 20 seconds.]

Ning fought the man and dealt him damage, and at the same time, the man hit him, dealing damage to himself once again.

Ning hit and got hit on for a while before the man realized that he was on his last leg. When he understood that, he tried to leave. He activated something, allowing him to fly into the sky and away from the battle.

However, that only gave Ning a chance to use his skills without worrying about breaking his oath. He shot out Seed Bullet and at the same time used Chain Lightning from his necklace.

[Double Cast has been triggered.]

Two massive bolts of lightning arched from Ning's hands directly onto the man, dealing over 500 damage at once.

The warrior was far enough from others that the Chain lightning didn't move onto any close targets, and with so much damage taken at once, the warrior died.

Ning sighed in relief and retreated a bit to take a breath. He was extremely fatigued and as such, he had to take a few minutes to catch his breath.

The demons won and Besailach survived. Unfortunately, Ning got no chance at all to attack the demon commander, and the war ended with the city under the demons.

Ning couldn't help but sigh, but at least the commander wasn't dead yet so he still had a chance.

'But how the hell do I kill him without ever being seen?' Ning thought. He had assumed that it would be easier in the chaos of war, but that only made things chaotic for him as well.

And killing while the Demon Commander was alone wasn't a possibility and he was on constant guard from assassins already.

'There are only two possible ways,' Ning thought to himself. The first one was to finish his class quest, get stronger, and then kill the commander.

Even if he had to fight the commander face-on at the moment, he definitely would as he would be capable of that.

As for the other way, Ning didn't even consider it a way because of how much luck was involved.

But then… maybe that would be the reason why he would succeed.

The city's eastern side was surrounded by demons who had camped outside the city to guard the demons against attack from Winterheart city.

At the same time, demons slowly came from the south and continued to add to the ranks that would fight in the war.

Sooner or later, the army of the demons would dwarf that of the humans who had no other place to spawn into.

After that, the demons would attack, and Winterheart would fall.

'I have to do it before that before the city falls,' Ning thought. He was starting to get annoyed with how hard the quest was.

He had taken residence in a small house that was given to him for his work in battle. He walked out of the house and went down the narrow street full of demons until he came out on the other side of a bigger street.

He took that street out of the city and went towards the forests in the south where he was going to train and hopefully pull out a Legendary card.

Ning trained there for days and days as weeks passed, but he simply wasn't lucky enough to pull out any Legendary cards.

The 1% chance simply didn't proc at all. Ning left the game multiple times during this period and went around the station to treat himself to some tasty food and drinks, returned back to his room to sleep, and then go right back into the game.

Before Ning knew it, close to 4 weeks had passed and today was the day of the battle for Winterheart city. The chances of the demons winning was quite high, but they could be reduced if they lost their commander.

For the sake of his quest, Ning had to make sure the commander died today. So, with a sigh, he went onto the battlefield once again.

Only this time, he had a definite chance to kill the commander.
