Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

People wondered where the lightning came from at all since the price wasn’t supposed to have any way to use lighting at all.

The audience wondered if just like the princess, he too had dual cores.

The prince breathed in and out as the pain in his chest slowly subsided.

The princess also got up, bedazzled by the fact that she was electrocuted, and it had been all because it had gone through the holes she had created to break and see.

“You!” she shouted from afar as she struggled to stand up straight. “You tricked us all.”

The prince took a deep breath and chuckled. “It’s all about the long con, sister,” he said. “The more you make someone think something works one way, the more you can surprise them with the sudden twist.”

ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm The princess’s eyes fell onto the axe on her brother’s left hand. The white handle of the axe that always dropped white mist from it no longer did.

“You made us all think that was an Ice handle. You made your own sister think that” she said.

“Only Grandfather knows what this is, sis. No one else does,” he said.

Every time he had to fight, the prince brought out his Axe to show the Fire and Ice Essence he could use thanks to it. Or so he wanted people to believe.

He gave the illusion that it was ice by making it look like it was cold. When in fact, it was his hand that was dripping cold air. All this time, he was making people think he had an Ice axe, when in fact, he had been hiding a Lightning handle.

Because they had the same color and the prince’s extravagant use of ice in the early battles, no one even suspected to sense just what element the handle it was.

It was all for this one moment when he could use it without anyone getting ready for it.

“Are you ready to continue the fight, sis?” he asked her.

Alena’s eyes grew cold inside the magma armor. “I’m ready to win.”

“Haha!” the prince laughed at her. “With how much Essence you’ve wasted in this fight already, we’ll have to see if you can do that or not.”𝑂𝑽𝓛xt.𝐜𝒪𝓜

The princess frowned, but she said nothing.

Instantly, the audience was greeted with two Essence Souls, one of which was only just revealed in the final match.

Alena’s Magma Essence Soul was 10 meters tall with hands that split into long vines that dripped magma whenever they moved. The soul had no legs, but a single long magma fountain that sprayed all across the ground.

The soul’s hair freely flowed behind it, dripping magma there as well, just like how her current hair looked with the Magma armor. Soon, there was a pool of magma all around Alena as her Essence soul came out fully.

Allen’s Ice Essence Soul was 10 meters tall as well with hands that had fingers made up of icicles. The humanoid soul had two normal legs as well and it had a head that looked like that of a human.

On its chin were many icicles that dangled, like a beard to a normal person. Its hair was nothing but shards of ice that stuck up.

Massive ice spikes grew from its back, like a porcupine as it all seemed so incredibly sharp. The Ice Essence soul fell to the ground with a thud and everywhere around it the ground froze as beautiful snowflake designs covered the ground, freezing what was frozen all over.

The prince’s Ice Essence Soul and the princess’s Magma Essence soul stared at each other for a few seconds before the two of them resumed their fight once more.

Allen’s Soul stuck together its hands and its finger shot out projectiles that all shot toward the princess.

Alena’s Soul’s hands split into vines and snapped at the incoming attacks like the whip he used with her Magma armor.

She flung orbs of Magma back at her brother, who stopped it by freezing it all before it came at her.

Then, the prince attacked back.

The back and forth went on for a minute and a half, as the two of them stood in one place, throwing attacks at each other.

The previous intense fight had died down, which confused most of the audience as to what was happening.

Even the students were confused and they looked towards their elders for answers.

“They both know that they can’t win against each other with normal methods,” the headmaster explained. “Like fire and water, unless one can do something that the other one won’t be expecting, the ice and magma attacks were doomed to reach a standstill.”

“So, before they go back to fighting seriously once again, they are doing what they can to make the other person run out of Essence.”

“The fight was destined to become one where the person with more Essence won from the very start, so they are both pushing each other to their limit to make exactly that happen.”

Just as the headmaster explained, both Allen and Alena were fighting to expend the other person’s Essence as quickly as they could. However, there would come a point where one would have to move first.

Fighting until they ran out of Essence was not the right way to win, so when they were close to running out of Essence, the person would attack in desperation to keep themselves in the match.

So, whoever moved first would most likely be the loser.

The two royals threw attacks at each other as piles of volcanic rock filled the gap between them.

Then, the princess suddenly disappeared. When people searched for her, they saw of a pool of magma where her spiritual soul had been that was rippling a little.

Allen smiled when he realized his sister had disappeared into a tunnel of Magma, from which she could resurface anywhere around him.

He prepared for the upcoming fight, knowing that if he made no mistake, he would most definitely win.
