Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1977: Minhya

The two men screamed because Ning was doing something to them without even touching them.

Their bodies began twisting slowly from the waist, their torsos turning in directions their bones and muscles were never meant to follow. They tried to resist, grabbing at their own bodies and forcing themselves back, but whatever Ning was doing ignored their strength completely.

The others stared in horror but were unable to do anything more than watch the two men slowly twist to death. Some wanted to scream. Some wanted to beg Ning to let them go.

And yet, no words came at all.

All they could do was watch them die.

The two men continued twisting.

Their shoulders turned farther while their hips remained fixed, stretching muscle and skin until the pressure became unbearable. One of them tried to activate his ability, but Ning did not even bother looking at whatever power he attempted to use.

Ning glanced across the rest of them.

”System, have any of these people done anything that would make me regret killing them?”

Ning’s expression remained calm.

”That answers that.”

He swept one arm across the air.

The remaining men no longer had any reason to be scared.

Or rather, they lacked the ability to be.

A thin line appeared across each of their bodies, followed immediately by blood as every man except the two still twisting was cut cleanly in half. Several collapsed before they understood what had happened, while others managed only a brief cry before their upper bodies struck the ground.

The girl stared at the scene without moving. If that had only happened to a single person, she might have been horrified. But to see it happen to nearly everyone except the two, it simply made her numb. She couldn’t find any emotion to express as the shock left her completely still.

The two remaining men were still alive, but they had long since lost the ability to take in what was happening around them. All they could do was scream from their own pain.

Their bodies attempted to make them lose consciousness so they would no longer feel the pain, but Ning kept that from happening. He kept them conscious so that they would feel every single instance of it.

Just like Alya had.

Ning looked toward them for a moment, a question coming to him.

”System, I thought Leamor’s men were behind the others. But they were clearly ahead of the other two,” he said.

”Huh? But these men belong to Leamor, do they not?” Ning asked.

”They did?” Ning asked in some surprise. ”But that would mean that the other two already knew about Alya, right?”

Ning narrowed his gaze. ”I see. I should pay those two a visit when I have the time. Is there anyone else out there who is a running candidate for the throne, albeit not a frontrunner?”
