Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel



The guards turned around after realizing that Ning had already run away and their Emperor was in trouble. They moved to attack but their Emperor was in between, and thus they had to stop.

"I don't really care that you killed me," Ning spoke to the man. "I was bound to die from the beginning anyway."

"I started this adventure to live how a normal person would go through the same problems an ordinary man would," Ning said. "I will say I didn't exactly start at the bottom like a normal man, but I still liked my adventure. An adventure that I knew would come to an end someday."

"I just… didn't expect it to come to an end this soon."

"I'm not angry with you or anything for killing me. That was part of the adventure too," Ning said as he looked around at the people that stared at him. "But… even after all that, even after I told you that I would kill you if you attacked, you still let your greet take over you."

"You are one greedy man, Darran Black," Ning said. "And keeping you as the Emperor will only harm the people of this land. Let me do them a favor and get rid of this strength of yours that gives you this green and confidence."

Ning slowly raised his sword.

"NO!" the man shouted, using the entirety of his Essence pool to create spikes out of the ground to try and kill Ning. However, before the spikes could hit Ning, someone clanged and the entire first batch of spikes was completely cut in half, the upper halves thrown off to the side.

More came from the ground, and Ning's hands moved faster. It was a blur to everyone as no one could see what exactly was happening, but the sound of clanging was clear to them all.  ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ꜰire

Ning was destroying the spikes as they grew out of the ground. 

The Emperor used his entire pool of Essence and yet it all fell apart in the end. Not a single one could hurt Ning at all as he somehow managed to tear through it all. 

He managed to tear through an all-out attack made by someone in the Stellar Harmony realm as an act of desperation. And he only used his body to do so.

The Emperor's fear peaked as he started crying out loud, begging Ning to let him go. However, Ning didn't listen to him at all.

"You killed me because you wanted this sword right?" Ning asked. "Even without knowing how it was made, I could already tell that it was a special sword. Now that I know all about it, its simply remarkable that I was even able to find this sword.

He showed the sword off by pointing it at the sky.

"This is what caused you to be greedy, right?" Ning asked. "Well, I might as well use it then."

Ning's left hand moved forward, stopping the 6 guards from moving in using his telekinesis skill. 

They struggled to move and even use their essence, but nothing worked. "Just stay there will you? I don't want to kill anyone else," Ning said, flipping his sword over as he placed the tip over the man's core in his lower stomach and smiled.

"You wanted this sword, didn't you?" he asked. "You can have it."

He let go of the sword as it fell straight into the man's stomach. 

Because the Emperor wasn't bonded with the sword yet, he felt the weight of a continent pierce through his stomach, and dig into the ground beneath him.

The Emperor cried out a scream that he had never made before, as he felt the Essence core in his body that he had worked so hard to form had been destroyed. With that, it also destroyed the connection between him and his Essence soul.

The Snake like body flew out of the Emperor, even though he hadn't died yet. As soon as it appeared, it sought to learn why it had died. That was the instinct it had with its limited intelligence.

It looked around itself, seeing Ning and the others, searching for any strong individuals.

It ignored Ning completely as he had no Essence in his body right now, and looked in the direction of the 6 guards that Ning had now stopped using telekinesis on. 

Ning reached down and pulled out his sword from the Emperor who seemed to have fainted from the pain. His screams could no longer be heard at all.

The Essence soul was ready to attack the people when Ning arrived on top of it. "You, disappear."

Ning swung his sword once and in that one strike, the snake was cut in half, turning back into the Essence it was made out of.

He landed down below, in front of the 6 who could only look at him in terror. They did not want to have anything to do with him.

"Your Emperor is alive," Ning said. "Albeit he had lost his Essence core and is now no more than a normal human. If you can stop the bleeding in time, you should be able to sa—"

His words stopped halfway through and then he sighed. He could only turn around as Clara had already arrived next to the Emperor with a black scythe in her hand.

Ning looked at her, completely silent as he had no reason to interfere in that fight.

The guards moved, although it was already too late.

"This is for my father, mother, my little brother, and everyone from my family that you killed," Clara shouted. "Die!"

She swung her scythe and cut through the Emperor's neck, killing him at once.

The guards arrived in time to catch her, but before they could reach her, Ning teleported in between them.

"Are you done with your revenge?" Ning asked her.

Clara simply nodded without saying a word.

"Good," Ning said, turning around to grab her arm. "Then let's get out of here."
