Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1091: Sword Fight

Carlos swung his fire dagger, sending out a burst of flame toward Gerrin. Gerrin moved his water shield in front of him, and a water blast stopped the fire from approaching.

He then swung his own fire sword, sending a spray of fire at Carlos. Carlos took the flame dagger and sent a spray of fire of his own.

He struggled a bit in the match as the fire that was used to make his dagger wasnʼt as much as the fire that was used to make Gerrinʼs sword. As such, the spray of fire coming from Gerrin was much stronger than his own.

Thankfully, his dagger stopped most of the flames, and the ones it couldnʼt stop werenʼt strong enough to reach him at all, and instead directly went up into the air.

Carlos jumped to the side and slashed with his water dagger. A crescent-shaped water flew through the air, coming at Gerrin.

Gerrin stopped the water attack before it reached him by sending a spray of water at the attack.

The attack was still strong enough to make its way out of the spray, but then it stuck the shield and did no damage to him at all.

The two of them continued fighting with each other, using this Essence weapon to attack each other with fire and water attacks. Meanwhile, the remaining 3 others arrived in front of Ning.

Ning looked at the 3 of them and looked at their weapons. Fortunately, it didnʼt look like the 3 held any essence weapons, but they still had metal swords and daggers with them, that would cut him all the same.

The man on the right charged at him first, very careful as they had seen what he was capable of. He stabbed from afar, and stayed out of Ningʼs reach.

Ning struck the sword away with his own metal sword that he had taken from the first guy he killed. He tried moving forward towards the man, but another one to his left swung at him.

He turned around in time and struck the sword away. Then, he dodged the next swordʼs attack and sliced at the third man that attacked him.

The man moved back in time and dodged his attacks as well. When he was trying to think how to kill at least one of them, the first man attacked once more.

He started fighting the three of them at once and could only hold his own against the 3 in front of him. He was afraid that if he let his guard down, he would get hurt. In that case, he wouldnʼt know what to do to heal himself at all.

There most likely were ways, but he wasnʼt aware of them for sure. Bleeding at the moment would be disastrous.

He saw through his Omni-directional vision that Gerrin and Carlosʼ fight was still continuing, but Carlos seemed to be slowly losing his edge. If it continued, Carlos would most likely die, and then Gerrin would come after him.

Ning wondered if he had it in him to ignore the fight and run away. However, he couldnʼt lie to himself that if possible, he would want to save Carlos.

ʼIʼll have to get out of this situation first though,ʼ Ning thought.

He struck one sword after another, perfectly parrying each one as they landed. The 3 people fighting him were shocked at how good his swordplay was.

Ning was never a swordsman. His primary choice of weapon was always a spear as that was what he had used for most of his life. However, that was not to say that he had never used a sword at all.

His his hundreds of thousands of years alive, he had used a sword long enough to be more than a lifetimeʼs worth for most people.

That was to say, he was a more capable swordsman than any of the people in front of him.

The battle had gotten monotonous, with Ning defending himself while the three tried to cut him. Ning was able to continuously defend himself, not making a single mistake, while the 3 were not above that.

Ning saw the first mistake after two minutes of fighting. The three of them had been attacking him one after another, which had kept him in a defensive stance. However, right this second, two of the three attackers were attacking at once.

Ning noticed it and dashed to the side, approaching the third person. The third person wasnʼt expecting his arrival at all, and his swing had to change mid-preparation, so he was flustered.

Ning took the opportunity and stabbed the man in the throat. He sent his whole body into the attack so that the manʼs swing wouldnʼt hit him at all.

The two of them fell to the ground, with Ning on top of the man. Ning looked to the side and saw the closest one approaching him.

He quickly pulled out the sword and tossed it toward the man. The man struck the sword aside and continued his charge at Ning.

Ning had thrown his sword at him, and the dead manʼs sword was behind him, so he was plenty confident about killing the helpless Ning.

He arrived right on top of Ning and slashed downwards. However, before he could fully attack Ning, a dagger went up through the manʼs jaw straight into his skull.

Ning stepped aside and watched the man fall.

He had taken the first dead manʼs dagger without being noticed and killed the second man. Then, he took the 2nd dead manʼs sword and looked at the final remaining person.

He gave an evil smile, terrifying the last remaining opponent. However, before he could attack, he put his sword to the side to block the burst of water that had flown at him.

Then, Gerrin came charging at him and swung his sword.

Ning put his sword up and blocked it, but the fiery sword wasnʼt so easy to stop. He watched in surprise as the metal sword in his hand started to heat up and even deform in the location where it contacted the fiery sword.
