Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1210 Essence Soul

The Essence Soul realm was a realm where one create an Essence Soul and grew it alongside them. They were both separate enough in that realm, and the Essence Soul even had intelligence. But it was little, and always overshadowed by the normal intelligence of the body, so it never showed up when the person was alive.

However, when the body died and the Essence Soul remained behind, it finally had its own intelligence to control itself. And the intelligence it had was way too little to tell anything.

Most Essence Souls were confused when they appeared. After all, they had no idea why they could even think. The body did it for them all the times before.

However, now that they could, they knew that the body was gone. If the body was gone, it had died, and death frightened it. It had no intelligence to tell how it had even died, so all it could assume was something bad had happened.

When it saw people around it, especially strong ones, it couldnʼt help but assume that it was these people that did it.

So, when the Essence Soul of the Light Essence guard appeared among the 7 other people, its first thought was that it had been killed, and it was the 7 people that had been responsible.

So, it was going to attack.

Before it could attack, however, the Emperor sent crystals directly into the Essence soul, driving it away from the other 6, into the lower area of the arena.

The Essence Soul was pierced through and half gone when it looked back up and saw another volley of crystal come at it. After being struck by those crystals, it died and the soul dissipated into Light Essence, returning to the environment like a conduit that was destroyed.

Unlike an Essence Soul that was attached to a body, an Essence Soul of a dead person had no Essence Core to pull their energy from to heal themselves. As such, if you damaged them enough, they would die easily.

Still, if one had to kill someone in the Essence Soul realm, they had to do it twice and that was incredibly difficult for someone in the same realm.

”Donʼt gawk around,” the Emperor said. He had known what would happen, so he had taken action and killed the Essence Soul before it could attack them. ”Do you want to die at the girlʼs hands too?”

The people quickly shook their heads.

The Emperor looked at where Ning was and his eyes narrowed. He had thought that Ning would have already run far away, but for some reason, he was still next to the gate.

When the Emperor looked closely, he saw someone else at the gate that had blocked him.

”Saburn?” he couldnʼt help but wonder when he saw the man.

He was a little glad that Ning hadnʼt managed to run away, but he was also a little concerned about why Saburn of all people was stopping Ning.

He was worried that Saburn would steal the sword from Ning before he could, but that didnʼt seem that bad an outcome. He could simply take it back from Saburn. If things went well, he could even pin Ningʼs death on his head and execute him while having nothing to do with the kidʼs death.

Seeing that he had no reason to hurry down there, he decided to finish this fight. ”You 6 get away from me, and go catch that kid of Saburn lets him escape. Iʼll find this bitch for no,” the Emperor said.

The 6 nodded and ran away.  I think you should take a look at

The Emperor then closed his eyes and felt for the aura around him, especially one that sensed like Shadow.

His eyes suddenly opened wide and a grin appeared on his face as he jumped up. From below him, Clara appeared with her scythe, ready to kill him if she could.

The Emperor swung his sword to stop the scythe and their battle continued.

Ning had taken the chance to run away from the arena and go into the public where they would have a hard time justifying killing him. He could even go find the other rulers and ask for help, which he may or may not get.

Anyway, he needed to get out of here first.

However, when he got to the door, the man that he had only seen in passing had been waiting for him and immediately started attacking him. Ning fought a bit and had to go back into the arena as he was pushed back by this man that was a True Essence Soul realm fighter.

He used Wind Essence, which was generally weaker among the Essences, but given that he was so much stronger than Ning, Ning could do nothing against the Wind at all. 

He teleported out using his Space Essence and tried to run away, but the man caught up to him and sent him back inside.

Ning realized that he wasnʼt trying to kill him. At least, not until the Emperor was here most likely.

”Give up, kid,” Saburn spoke. ”Youʼre not going to survive this at all.”

”Who even are you?” Ning shouted. ”Are you this regionʼs fake ruler?”

”You do recognize me,” Saburn said. ”Why even ask?”

”Damn,” Ning shouted, sending back a pile of rocks at the man that he shot using his sword. ”Like father like son, I suppose. Attacking someone weaker than him, I see where your son got that trait from.”

Saburn tossed the rocks aside, revealing a face full of anger. ”You donʼt have to run your mouth just because you are going to die,” he said. 

”Die?” Ning chuckled. ”Weʼll see.” He was looking around for a way to run.

Suddenly, Saburn sent a wind blade at him that targeted his right arm. The blade was so quick that Ning couldnʼt possibly dodge it at all.

In a moment of panic, he swung his sword with Essence poured into it. He wanted to create some sort of earthen wall, but seeing the wind blades, he could only think about wind and nothing else.

Suddenly a massive gust of wind appeared from where he swung, destroying the wind blade and sending away Saburn along with it.
