Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 382 – Failure?

"Grandfather?" Hijaka grunted as he tried to get back up. "No, grandfather! You can't do that." 

"Sit down child, I'm doing this for you," Hyesi said. "Inikaka, let's go."

"Are you sure, Hyesi?" Ning asked one last time as tears started forming in his eyes. 

"Absolutely."

"Okay," Ning said and sent a message high up in the air. "Come back you all."

The message went to only 5 people that were up there, but it soon traveled to everyone. As soon as the message was sent, everyone stopped fighting and started to get away from Jha'Akim who was still trying to make his way down towards Ning. 

However, when he saw everyone move away, he started getting a little cautious and stopped. His rage had calmed down by now and he was starting to think things through once more. 

"What's going on, Ning?" Ely asked. 

"Master, we don't have time," Anya said as she held her left arm that took a nasty hit from Jha'Akim. 

"You guys sit back. We're going to end this now," Ning said 

"We? Who's we?" Ning, the junior, asked and looked around when he saw his father's solemn face and his nephew's tears. 

"I will do what Inikaka did moments ago and explode my body on top of him to kill him," Hyesi said.

"No, you can't do that, father," Ning said. 

"It's okay, my child. Take care of yourself and the other children," Hyesi said. "Goodbye, I will go meet your mother now." 

Everyone started saying different things to stop Hyesi from doing so, but he didn't listen to anyone. 

"Ning, are you sure you want to do this?" Ely asked.

"You saw how strong he is. I wouldn't want this if I had another way as well," Ning said. 

Ely got silent for a while and said," Do what you have to do." 

Ning nodded. He then turned around to Hyesi and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, Inikaka. This strength you gave me, I will finally make use of it."

Ning's body disappeared in a flash and Hyesi heard a soft voice coming out from himself. "Get ready," the voice said. "Just grab him"

"Yes." 

And then Hyesi disappeared. 

Jha'Akim saw it all from high in the air, and using his incredible hearing ability could also hear what they were saying. 

Even without that, he was already cautious against people trying to explode on top of him as he only had one more life. 

So, when Hyesi reappeared behind him, he immediately flew away. However, even when he flew away, Hyesi once again appeared right next to him and grabbed him. 

Hyesi's arms were still in pain, but he could hold on to Jha'Akim pretty easily. 

"Let go of me," Jha'Akim shouted, but Hyesi didn't let go at all.

"You will need to pay for what you have done," Ning's voice came from inside of Hyesi. 

"Die!" Hyesi shouted and started to unstabilize his body and soul to explode them. However, just then, even as Hyesi was holding him, Jha'Akim disappeared. 

"What?" Ning shouted in surprise. Hyesi who was going to explode himself also stopped. 

"Dammit! He can teleport even while we are holding him?" Ning thought. 

"Inikaka, where is he?" Hyesi asked. 

"I don't know," Ning said. "Let me check." 

Ning asked the system for some information and soon learned where Jha'Akim had gone to. 

"He's in the upper central continent. Probably the hideout of his clone. He must have marked that place too since he said he could only teleport to where the mark was," Ning said. 

"What do we do now?" Hyesi asked.

"We try again," Ning said and teleported away. He appeared right behind Jha'Akim and Hyesi immediately grabbed him again. 

"What? How are you here? You shouldn't have known I was here," Jha'Akim shouted. Even as he did, he disappeared once more. 

Ning asked the system and learned that he had gone to the Origin. He tried once more, but Jha'Akim teleported from that place as well. 

He had gone back to the hideout. Ning tried a couple of times, but Jha'Akim kept on teleporting back and forth between the two places. 

"We need to stop him from teleporting somehow," Ning said. 

"How?" Hyesi asked. 

Ning stayed quiet and asked the system some questions. Soon, he got exactly the information he needed. 

"He's using Qi to teleport around. So, if we can make him spend all of his Qi, we can kill him," Ning said. 

"Alright, let's keep going after him then. At some point he will have to stop," Hyesi said. 

Ning kept quiet for a while and did nothing. "Inikaka?" Hyesi called him once more. 

"No," Ning replied finally. "That won't work. My energy isn't enough to sustain the teleportations longer than he can sustain his Qi. At some point, I will lose and he will get free reign to get stronger."

"Then what do we do?" Hyesi asked. 

"Sacrifice," Ning said. "That is the only way."

"But I'm already doing that, Inikaka," Hyesi said. 

"No, not just yours," A quiver sounded in Ning's voice as he spoke. "I… this task requires my sacrifice as well." 

"What do you mean?" Hyesi asked. 

Ning teleported and reappeared on the beach where the people were looking in the sky, dreadfully waiting for an explosion to happen. 

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

Hyesi's family was surprised and happy to still see him alive.

"Don't celebrate," Ning said. "This is one last meeting before the goodbye. Before OUR goodbye."

"Ning?" Ely got worried. 

Ning's body reappeared and Ning jumped back into it. "I'm so sorry," he said as his eyes started tearing up. 

"I didn't want it to go this way at all. I wanted to live forever with you, with you all. But… it seems I will have to leave you all." He was starting to cry now. 

Seeing him cry, Ely and Anya started getting worried. 

"Wha-what's going on?" Ely asked.

"Master, why are you sad?" Anya asked.

"I'm going to have to leave you all now. Along with Hyesi, this one requires my sacrifice as well," Ning said. 

"Master?" the beasts came up to him as well, clearly worried. 

"Take care of yourself, you guys. I will have to go away for… a little bit," Ning said, but no one believed the 'little bit' part, not when he was crying so much. 

"Please explain what's going on!" Ely demanded as she started tearing up as well. 

"Hyesi cannot kill Jha'Akim as long as he can use Qi. Because of that, the only way for him to die is if I take him to a place where he is too preoccupied with using his Qi to even be able to teleport," Ning said. 

"What… do you mean?" Anya asked with tears in her eyes. Confusion was also clearly visible through the tears as well.

"I'm going to take him to a place where he will have to fend himself from the environment, more than he will from us," Ning said. "And while he's distracted, we will kill him."

"No way, are you—" Ely gasped as she realized what was happening. Anya understood as well

"Yes," Ning said.. "The only way to kill him is if I take him through the portal on the North Pole."
