Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1570: Stopped



Chapter 1570: Stopped



"You... You should be dead!" the leader demanded, his face paling every second he tried to turn the man into air and failed.

Ning shook his head. "I'm not so easy to kill." He kicked the man on his legs, sweeping him off his feet, and making him fall to the ground on his chest.

He slammed onto the ground and cried out in pain. Then Ning landed on top of him, sitting on his back as he looked around.

The wind, fire, and water had made a lot of noise, but even through that, the women seemed to be able to hear the leader's cries.

Karina turned around at once, realizing that her leader was in trouble, and immediately began blasting the fire at Ning.

Ning reached out into the air, immediately turning it into rock at once. That was the thing he could turn something into fastest. Vacuum surrounded him in a massive radius as the fire winked out in an instant.

At the next moment, the wind came rushing back, slamming into everyone so hard that it knocked them all off their feet, tossing them in different directions.

Everyone flew in different directions, two of them knocked out at once. All the Fire, Water, and Air they were shooting out shut down along with them.

Karina struggled to get on her feet, looking at Ning with a look of pure hatred.

She raised her hand again to shoot fire at him, but at the exact moment, two soldiers teleported around her and grabbed her from behind, slamming her onto the ground.

They made sure to keep her palms facing away from her, and with that, she couldn't burn them.

The ground came down around the area, leaving behind an area with a wet road and steamy atmosphere.

"Get those fires under control at once," Redaime shouted around. "And someone gets rid of this water."

"Yes, Captain!" many of the soldiers answered and immediately got to work. The rest of them came and grabbed the men and women on the ground.

A few soldiers came up to Ning and waited for him to step off.

"Not yet," Ning said. "He ate some Spark, so you'll have to wait until that power dissipates from within him. Or else, he'll turn you all into a stone statue."

The people who heard him didn't believe him. After all, how could a Converter possibly turn a human into something?

Ning didn't bother explaining and simply sat on top of the leader who seemed to have lost all will to fight. He waited just long enough where the Spark inside the man would disappear.

Only then did he stand up and let the others take the man.

Redaime passed by the leader, stopping to look at his face. She looked at the soldiers carrying him and said, "Do not let him come into contact with Spark, and have someone search his place."

"Yes, Captain!"

She then walked up to Ning and took the bag that had fallen to the ground. Opening it, she saw large packets of Dust inside and shut it back.

"Good work, Lieutenant," she said, giving a knowing smile.

Ning raised his eyebrows in surprise before smiling. "Thank you, Captain. Or... should I say, General?"

Redaime shook her head. "It's Captain for now. Becoming a General isn't so easy. I'll have to compete against other Captains to get that spot. Still, this should give me a leg up in the competition."

Ning dusted himself off and got ready to leave.

"Tell me, how are you alive?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Ning asked.

"That leader could turn people into stone. You said so yourself, so how are you alive," the woman asked.

Ning gave a small grin. "He just didn't touch me. I obviously have no way of countering his touch, of course."

"Of course," Redaime said, staring at him with her razor-thin eyes to gather more information from Ning's face and expressions.

But Ning was an enigma. There was nothing she could receive from him at all.

"You want to keep a secret to yourself? Keep it. As long as you don't go against the military, I am fine with that," she said and turned around. She went on to deal with the rest of the issue with the capturing of everyone.

Soon, she left the task up to Lieutenant Franc, who had come along, while she went to deal with the capture of a General. She had to do it before the news traveled to him.

Ning watched everyone leave and looked at his hand. He smiled a bit as he watched it. "That was a good purchase," he said to himself. "I should have purchased it a while ago." After being turned into stone, and after being located in the General's house using a Connector's mind search powers, Ning had decided to buy some skills to help him not get caught off guard.

The first thing he purchased was the skill that stopped any telepath from reading his mind. Annoyingly enough, that skill didn't work with any Planetary, Galactic, or Universal Wills who were the owners of the energy Ning would collect when visiting a different world. But it worked with everyone else.

Now, no one could read Ning's mind without his permission first.

The second skill he bought was an Anti-Transformation skill, which prevented people from using any sort of transformation skills on him without his permission.

This not only prevented him from petrification but also stopped him from being poisoned or puppeteered around by someone else. There were other benefits to this skill as well that Ning would have to get into situations to find out.

Ning stretched his arms wide and sighed. "That was a long week," he said to himself. "I should go and take a long sleep."

Not that his mission had finally been completed, he would finally go back to doing smaller missions where it didn't take him this long to take things down.

'Actually, I'm a lieutenant now,' Ning thought. Maybe instead of missions becoming easier, they were going to become even more difficult.
