Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning looked at his surrounding with concern. 'Is she away somewhere?' he thought and looked around. He used every vision available to him to see if he could find her, but he couldn't.

"What the hell? If she went somewhere, she should have let us know," Ning thought to himself. "If she unknowingly walks around she could cause more trouble than she would wan—"

Ning stopped in the middle of his thought and looked back at the screen in front of him. The monster was attacking the tower on group 4, but that was not important.

What he looked at was the 4 dead contestants on the ground who had argued and fought amongst themselves even as a monster attacked them, he knew why.

With a sigh, Ning opened up a portal and disappeared into it before arriving next in Group 5.

Derel was getting ready to attack when she saw that it was him.

"Little worm, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Group 4 is dying and I might need you to take their gem. Come with me," Ning said and opened a portal.

"Okay," Derel said and entered the portal. As she arrived in the sky outside the Group 4's area, Derel's burning wings appeared out of nowhere and she hovered in mid-air.

Ning passed through and he arrived as well. He looked down at the monster right about to destroy the tower. It was just a moment away.

"Why did you say you 'might' need me to take the gem? The situation suggests that you definitely need it," Derel said.

"I suspect Nova is around here. If she is, I want her to take the gem so we can be done with it," Ning said.

"Hmm… where is she?" Derel asked. "Do you want me to help in your search?"

"No," Ning shook his head. "I can find her on my own. You should stay flying just in case she is down there. If you were to get close, you will most likely die."

"I'm really curious about the little worm's power you know," she said.

Ning changed his vision to see heat signatures and saw a few people waiting down below. Due to that, he couldn't tell if Nova was down there.

"How are you going to find her?" Derel asked.

"You might want to close your ears," Ning said and flew below.

Derel did as she was asked and watched a Ning take a deep breath.

"NOVA!" Ning shouted with such ferocity that his sounds ruptured his own eardrums.

Derel felt the shout like one feels thunder under their feet. Instead of hearing the call through her ears, she felt it all over her body.

The many people down below were forced to close their ears as the sudden loud sound scared them to hell.

At the same time, the sound reflected off of the ground and shot back up once more, spreading to every other direction.

Everyone in the competition was now in the know of the name 'Nova'.

His own voice stopped echoing, and Ning closed his eyes and enhanced his senses.

"Ning! Down here!" A voice shouted from the ground where he saw a single silhouette.

"Oh, she's down there," Ning said. "Stay here."

Derel continued flying with no words as Ning dropped to the ground and found Nova near the edge of the forest leading to group 4's area.

"What are you doing here?" Ning asked.

"Sorry, I fell asleep. Where am I?" she asked while rubbing her eyes and yawning as she spoke.

"Sigh, so you didn't come here by yourself?" Ning said.

"No? Where am I?" she asked again.

"In the area of group 4. Someone must have brought you here then… somehow," Ning said. He looked out at the monster almost destroying the tower and thought to himself a bit.

He created an earplug with his Aether and a small handkerchief he used to cover her eyes.

"What's happening?" she asked with a confused voice as Ning tied the blindfold on her.

"We're going to get a gem. Now put those earplugs on," he said and waited for her to do so.

Once she did, he opened a portal directly under the monster and waited 2 more seconds for it to destroy the tower.

The moment the tower was destroyed and the words '4/10 groups have been Eliminated' rose in the sky, Ning pushed Nova through the portal and they arrived directly below the monster and the collapsing tower.

Ning created a reverse gravity around his hand and pushed away all the falling chunks of rock.

Then, he brought out his spear and found the monster. At the same time, the 3 or so hidden figures that were getting ready to take the gem also arrived at the scene.

Just as Ning defeated the monsters, he turned around in time to see just what exactly Nova could do.

The 3 people that charged them immediately started fighting with each other.

There was a demonic figure with horns on his head and red skin on his body.

A woman with flowing golden hair with a wand in her hand.

And finally, the last one was the green-skinned girl from last time who Ning had left alive.

As the three fought amongst themselves, it was pretty clear that the girl with the wand was not very strong, or at least stronger than the demon and the other woman.

However, soon Ning realized that it didn't matter at all.

The demon broke off his own horns and pierced them through his own eye sockets before gouging out his own heart.

The girl with the wand created a bubble of water in which she drowned herself to die.

The green-skinned girl severed her own neck with her sword and dropped in two parts to the ground.

Ning knew what Nova's powers were and that people died around her, but he had expected them to drop and die like unconscious people, not go to such lengths to kill themselves.

Even Derel standing high above had fearful eyes on her for the first time.

Ning couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the dead bodies. "No wonder this girl is so traumatized."
