Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 294: Veil of Darkness

The Superior immediately turned around in a fit of madness and struck out at the Principal.

”DIE!” he shouted. With a cultivation base in the upper Nascent Soul realm, he could easily kill Singeer if he wanted to.

However, just before his hands reached the principal, Ning appeared between the two and took the blow to the face.

”Oh, I could almost feel that. Youʼre really quite strong,” Ning said without taking single damage.

”Huh? How—”

”Letʼs not fight amongst these poor folks even more, okay? Letʼs take this outside,” Ning said.

Suddenly, a divine sense was released from inside Ning as it traveled to each and every corner of the underground, falling onto all of the attackers there.

They all got alert and were ready for any attack. Ning raised an open palm into the air, scaring the Superior into moving back.

Then… he closed the palm.

Massive pulling force erupted with Ning at the center. People all around him got pulled towards him. However, surprisingly the people that got pulled were only the attackers.

The staff and the students watched as the attackers flew through the air towards Ning without their own volition.

Even the superior with his high cultivation base was pulled towards Ning without being able to stop himself.

Ningʼs had to give up a large amount of energy to do just this, but thankfully, he had caught the people while they were relatively unaware, so he didnʼt have to spend more than he did.

He didnʼt want to think how much mental energy it would have taken him to move nearly 40 Nascent Soul realm cultivators if Telekinesis had instead used his mental strength instead of Energy.

He knew from back in Vilmore that multiple objects, so long as he used Telekinesis on them at the same time, counted towards one single weight.

Still, he had to use extreme mental focus to grab onto 40 different people at once and pull them together.

Once everyone collapsed together on top of him, he vanished.

Up above the forest to the northeast of the studentʼs quarters, a massive ball comprising of 40 different individuals appeared.

”What?”

”How are we outside?”

”What technique is that?”

People started being surprised as they quickly got their footing when Ning stopped using Telekinesis.

Even the superior looked in horror at what was happening. ʼWas there a teleportation formation inside that huge hall? How come I never knew that?ʼ he wondered.

”Alright, since you all are out. Letʼs be civil and just talk it out, okay?” Ning said. He then turned to the Superior and said, ”Trebor, tell me what you know about the ways to reach the Spirit Transformation realm.”

”Iʼm not Trebor anymore. Trebor died a century ago. I am just a husk of my former shell, looking for a way to get my revenge,” the Superior said.

”And I will have it. One way or another. You are strong, but you canʼt stop all of my people from leaving, can you?”

Ning smiled when he heard that. ”I wonʼt lie. If it wasnʼt for catching your people off guard, it will be impossible to stop all of you by myself,” Ning said.

”See, so you better mo—”

”That is… if I was by myself,” Ning said with a smile. ”Tell me, Trebor. What good do you think your subordinates here will fare when they have to fight in total darkness?”

The superior was confused. ”What?”

Suddenly, as if a veil covered over their eyes and divine sense, none of the men could see anything.

”Whatʼs happening, Superior. I canʼt see anything.”

”I canʼt use my divine sense to look at anything.”

”Did I go blind?”

”AAAHHH!”

One person cried out, and then he stopped. People who were close to that person stopped feeling his aura anymore. Not of his cultivation base, not of him as a human being.

The man disappeared as if he never existed. Without a shadow of a doubt in the other menʼs hearts, the man had died, and they couldnʼt see how.

Another person cried out as well and soon his voice vanished too. People started to get scared.

SWISH SWISH

A sound appeared as if some objects had been shot through the air towards the men.

”Arghh!” men cried out in pain but didnʼt stop speaking like the other time.

More and more attacks flew out into the air targeting the men. The men got scared of fighting with no sense and started sending out their own attacks everywhere as well.

”Stop!” the Superior shouted when he heard his menʼs scream.

The mindless attacks of the men were starting to hurt each other more than it was going anywhere close to hitting the main perpetrator.

”Stop fighting. Arghh— Stop,” the Superior shouted but the veil didnʼt lift. The sounds of people bleeding and dying kept ringing out from around him.

”Please stop! Donʼt kill my subordinates. I am the one you want, let them go!” The Superior cried out.

”Stop,” Ning softly said.

Suddenly, the veil lifted revealing Night and Blue there, but the people didnʼt care about them. When they finally could see what they did, they wished the veil hadnʼt lifted at all.

Half the people were dead on the ground, the other half wounded. The Superior himself wasnʼt well either. He seemed to have gotten hit by quite a few attacks as well.

Sadly, Most of the attacks were from their own people getting scared to die and attacking whatever sound they heard.

The Superior turned around to look at his remaining people, and how close to death they were. He then looked at people dead on the ground.

”Iʼm sorry, brothers. I… didnʼt think it would end this way. I thought my plan was foolproof, but it seems in all of my planning, I couldnʼt foresee the existence of this monster.”

The Superior then turned around towards Ning and said, ”Let my remaining people go and I will give myself up.”

Ning looked at him with cold eyes, but there was a tinge of humanity in them. The fact that he could kill them meant these people werenʼt innocents at all and were definitely guilty.

However, just because they werenʼt innocents didnʼt mean that they were the bad guy. Ning felt conflicted.

Finally, he made a decision and said.

”Sure. They can go, but…”
