Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 786: Volcanic burns

"What do you mean who's stronger? How are you going to check?" Tessa asked from the side. She was confused about how one could even possibly think of comparing themselves to a volcano.

"Well, you'll see," Ning said.

He suddenly flew up and hovered over the volcano in the air.

"Hey! What are you doing? You'll die!" Saphandra shouted all of a sudden when she saw him fly over the volcano, wafted by the heat from it.

"You should know better than that by now," Ning said and slowly lowered down towards the volcano.

Ori grabbed onto the princess that was next to her and closed her eyes.

About 20 meters above the volcano, the heat had reached a point where Ning's clothes were catching on fire.

As he descended, they essentially burned off of him, leaving him naked.

Trevain ran in front of his sister to block the view, but he didn't have to. The erogenous zones that should have been completely out in the open were invisible. It was as if Ning was wearing a set of underwear that were invisible.

The clothes were off, but not a single hair on his body burned at all.

The 5 humans and the slime continued looking curiously now that they were truly surprised by him not getting hurt despite being so close to the volcano.

"Do you think he summoned some heat resistance skill while we weren't looking?" Tessa asked.

"I don't think he is," Saphandra said.

"That bastard is showing off," the slime said. "Even if he did get some heat resistance skill, he would still be feeling the heat and even getting burned."

"What is he doing then?" Trevain asked.

"Nothing," Saphandra said. "His body is just that strong."

Ning lowered and lowered until he was right on top of the volcano. While he couldn't feel the pain from his feet burning atop the lava, he could feel the heat, and he could tell that it was something else.

His feet touched the lava and instantly blisters started forming on the bottom of his feet. However, the healing was enough to keep it from staying that way.

"Hmm, so I can't just survive falling into the lava huh?" he thought. He crouched and put his hand into the lava before pulling out some of it. His hand started burning and in some places, he could even see the lava pushing through the wound to reach the bones.

"Well, it's quite some damage, but not as much as I would have expected," Ning said.

"Oi, Ning! You're done, right? Let's leave," Saphandra shouted. The sun was going to set at any moment, so she wanted to leave this place as fast as she could.

"One second," Ning said and put his left hand into the lava. Then, he toggled on his heat resistance.

Instantly, 80% of all the heat that was hurting his hand was instantly nullified, and Ning was left with a pristine hand that did not suffer from any such thing.

As soon as Ning realized that, he stopped flying and fell into lava.

"NING!"

"Teacher!"

"Brother Ning!"

The people there cried out the moment they saw Ning fall and tried to help him anyhow they could.

"I'm fine," Ning shouted and lay there. In fact, he lay down flat on the lava and was a little disappointed that he didn't just sink like he thought he would.

The bubbling lava was liquid, but it was still molten rock, so Ning floated like a piece of foam on the water.

"Sigh, I was expecting something more," he thought and got up. He slowly flew up as the lava fell from his body.

He scratched off those that just didn't leave and once he was away from the heat, he asked for the system to return his clothes back.

After he got it back, Ning was about to leave the volcano when he saw some specks of blackness in the distance.

He turned around and looked at it with his eyes. When he barely saw what it was, he zoomed in the vision and suddenly he smiled.

"Spirit! There's another spirit!" he shouted and flew to the group.

"What? Where?" they asked.

"No time. Hold your hands," Ning said and the moment they were all connected, they disappeared.

The group fell on dry sand and some even rolled down the dune. Ning moved immediately as a spear appeared in his hand and pierced the tail of the giant pink scorpion that was about to sting Ori.

"Get up," Ning said and casually swung his spear backward, cutting off a worm that was jumping out of the sand.

He used telekinesis to catch on to Tessa who was not far from him and sent her flying back to the top of the dune where Saphandra and the slime were taking care of the few monsters that were coming out of the sand there as well.

Ning grabbed Ori and flew back to the top. As soon as he reached there, he shouted at them to hold on and then blasted vibrations beneath him in full strength.

Sand flew in the air from the strong vibrations and a sand avalanche appeared all around him.

The slime flew up as he was slowly being sunk into the sand from it no longer having a rigid surface.

The many beasts that were hidden inside the sand immediately jumped out and ran off.

"Where are we?" Ori asked as she looked around in the unfamiliar place.

"It's the desert," the slime said. "We're still inside the island I believe. Oh and look, there's the volcano we were just at. You can see the lava."

The group turned around and nearly more than 20 kilometers in the distance, they saw the volcano.

"So far," Tessa thought. "Right, you shouted spirit. Where is it?"

"Right, behind you," Ning said and pointed in the distance where a group of people was gathered, following a spirit that was having fun around them but was also making the people chase it.

Surprisingly, the spirit was flying in their direction exactly.
