Chapter 495: Even if the Heavens Split, the Joint Exam Must Continue
At this mont, Tan Han had already led everyone out of danger.
Even with the protection of their defensive spells, everyone looked battered and bruised.
When they felt they were mostly safe, they collapsed onto the ground, sowhat disregarding their image.
Having just survived a near-death experience, they had no strength left once they relaxed, their minds filled with lingering fear.
"Is everyone okay? Did anyone get left behind?"
Tan Han asked after she had recovered.
It could be said that she had done her utmost in that short period of ti, which required her to have the decisiveness to make decisions, the ans to guide everyone, the spells to protect everyone, and the courage to disregard everything.
Although the group of girls who had stayed with Tan Han were not without their ans, very few could react in the first instance.
Even with spellbooks, not everyone could face a sudden threat of death with their minds highly tense and their emotions out of control, and be able to cast a defensive spell in the first instance.
The spellbook was their tool, not their instinct.
Fortunately, everything was fine for now.
At this mont, Tan Han was leaning against a volcanic rock, supporting her body, her gaze subconsciously sweeping over the crowd.
When they had escaped from the volcanic ash area just now, her flying broom had, besides herself, three other people hanging on it.
It was truly an overloaded flight, but at that ti, there was no ti to care about such things.
They didn't have that many choices.
Flying-type spellbooks were relatively rare, and they were more functional and expensive, with a very low cost-performance ratio.
Most witches who had obtained a flying license would choose to buy a flying broom to replace spell flight.
Seeing everyone's appearance after escaping death, Tan Han felt a trace of guilt in her heart.
Although this abnormal eruption of the volcano had nothing to do with them, it also gave them a direct understanding of how terrifying what they were about to do was.
Before everyone could catch their breath and respond, Tan Han had already answered her own question.
"No one is missing, thankfully... phew... let's rest here for a while."
Tan Han patted the fine volcanic ash on her body.
Even she had not been spared from such an overwhelming disaster.
The all-pervasive feeling of suffocation brought by the volcanic ash just now seed like it could reappear at any mont.
However, they had just co out against the wind, so at least they didn't have to worry about the volcanic ash coming at them again.
After recovering, many people also began to express their fear and the thrill of the mont in words.
After experiencing this disaster, a trace of confusion also appeared in the eyes of many.
"Sister Tan Han... what should we do next? This joint exam... are we really going to continue?"
"The joint exam is not over yet, that's natural."
Tan Han nodded and looked at the girl beside her.
The girl's na was Xiao You, and everyone called her Little You.
In that thrilling mont just now, her reaction speed was also very fast, and she had managed to bring out two companions with her and rush out of the danger.
Xiao You was also one of the few friends Tan Han had known for a relatively long ti, but they didn't hang out together much.
Compared to her, Tan Han had spent a bit more ti with Minian, Hedi, and the others.
After all, they were sisters who had fought together in the exchange competition back then, so their relationship was naturally closer.
"Then..."
"I know everyone is more or less scared after this incident, but I also want to tell everyone that the joint exam is not over yet. Although all of this happened a bit too suddenly, at least it's not the worst result, is it?"
As Tan Han spoke, she also took out her phone and scrolled through it, with a lot of information flashing across the screen.
"No, Sister Tan Han, of course we know the joint exam is not over yet. You tell us what to do next, and I'll follow you even if we have to blow up the volcano again!"
"That's right! That was so exciting. We suffered so much, mainly because we didn't have any preparation ti. It will definitely be no problem if we do it again!"
"Yeah, victory was clearly in sight. I'll feel frustrated if we don't blow up this volcano."
At this mont, many of the girls also echoed, with almost no complaints.
It could be said that under such circumstances, the support given to her by these followers around her was far more healing to her heart than those healing potions.
After expressing her gratitude, Tan Han also took advantage of this gap to start organizing the current information.
At this stage, she had also spent so ti to understand the current situation from those group chats.
The volcanic ash caused by the abnormal movent of the volcano had covered nearly half of the main island.
No one had found any flowing lava so far, which ant that the volcano had not really erupted, so the situation should not develop into a worse state.
And from the information in the group, it was not without good news.
The remaining main forces of the Witch Academy had basically not been affected by the volcanic ash.
And news ca from Ninglan Qiuyue's side that the Aphrodite Forest Elves had been affected by this volcanic ash.
As for whether they could still co out safely, it was uncertain.
Tan Han guessed that they were probably done for.
After all, they had personally experienced it and knew the dangers involved.
And just as Tan Han was about to share this information, suddenly another violent and strange change occurred.
Everyone's eyes were shocked by the surrounding strange phenonon.
The entire world seed to have lost its color in an instant, and it was as if it were flickering with static like an old television in their line of sight.
Everything in front of them trembled as if it were about to collapse, and the source of all this ca from high up in the sky.
Everyone who had managed to calm down in a short ti raised their heads.
The sky had torn a huge opening at this mont, piercing through this piece of heaven and earth from top to bottom.
Through that opening, it was as if they could see a beautiful and dangerous starry sky.
Every twinkling star revealed a dangerous light.
As the crack in the sky continued to expand, it was as if it would swallow the entire Bobapus Archipelago in the next mont.
"What... what on earth is that?"
"This... could this be the work of so teaching assistant again..."
The terrifying strange phenonon made everyone unable to help but ask, as if they were asking soone, hoping for an answer that did not exist.
The strange phenonon in the sky tore through the high-altitude volcanic ash that had not yet dispersed, forming a vacuum in the sky.
Then, a black tide like a tidal wave poured down from that crack.
And seeing this scene, Tan Han, after seeing those existences, instantly reacted, and a slightly distant mory resurfaced.
"That's... Abyssal Demons! Damn it..."
Tan Han said quickly, and finally couldn't help but curse.
The last ti she had seen and heard about Abyssal Demons was during the Nightmare event in Ninglan New City.
But she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing in this joint exam.
The last ti they were in the dream state consciousness, they had co to Ninglan New City.
They didn't have a deep impression of these little devils, but those Nightmares... just a few of them had played them around in circles, and it was even at a level of crushing strength.
It could be said that those Nightmares had left a deep impression on them.
"What Abyssal Demons?"
It was obvious that so people here had not experienced the Nightmare event, and they did not know the concept of Abyssal Demons.
"It's a terrifying race from outside of the world. We encountered them in Ninglan New City before. I should have said... the Nightmares we talked about before are one of the types of Abyssal Demons," Tan Han could only explain to everyone in a very short ti.
After the Ninglan New City incident was over, she had also gone to learn about many things, including matters related to the Abyssal Demons.
It was a very terrifying race.
Their hands had already reached this world.
The Imp Academy and the Undead Academy that she knew of were a branch of the Abyssal Demons.
And those who had also experienced that trip to Ninglan New City also reacted quickly, and the mories of that ti also ca flooding back...
"How could it be... are the Abyssal Demons so haunting? What about the ntors? Aren't we in a joint exam? It's impossible for them not to have noticed such a big commotion, right?"
"That's right... what about the ntors?"
Everyone also reacted at once, and their originally panicked expressions suddenly gained so confidence.
But up to now, not a single ntor had appeared, not even a patrol teacher.
This inevitably made them a little flustered.
It couldn't be that sothing had happened, right?
And just as everyone was falling into a sowhat panicked atmosphere, a figure appeared not far from them.
"Sorry, it seems I'm a little late?"
I appeared here through a teleportation spell.
Seeing this group of girls looking distraught, I spoke up to remind them.
"Little... Sister Xiao Han!"
Soone imdiately recognized and shouted excitedly.
"It's Teaching Assistant Xiao Han!"
"It's okay, it's fine to call Sister Xiao Han."
I waved my hand and said, then my gaze swept over the crowd.
"Sothing delayed just now. I know you're all very scared right now, but please don't panic just yet."
"Don't... don't panic? Sister Xiao Han, how can we not panic when sothing like this has happened."
"That's right, Sister Xiao Han, are you here to announce the end of the joint exam and take us away?"
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone imdiately gathered around and asked.
"Alright, the reason I was delayed for a while was to ask for instructions on this matter. The academy has stated that the matter is still under control, and the joint exam needs to continue. Don't think about stopping for now."
As soon as I said this, everyone was visibly dejected.
Many people showed looks of shock on their faces, and then felt that this decision was extrely unreasonable.
And just as so of them were about to question it, I spoke first.
"Don't question this decision. This incident is indeed an ergency. Many of the academy's ntors have also taken action. But the strength of these monsters is actually not high. It's definitely at a level you can deal with. The stronger ones have already been eliminated by the ntors, so please rest assured," I patiently explained to them.
Actually, these little devils were easier to deal with than they had imagined.
First of all, the strength of these guys definitely did not reach the Transcendent level, because Transcendent level Abyssal Demons would not be trapped by the false world.
Furthermore, they were outsiders entering the main world and would be affected by the Curse of Misfortune, making them easier to kill.
So Big Sis Bai was right.
These Abyssal Demons just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the main world and make a big move, to harvest the flesh, blood, and soul-substance of the people of the main world at this ti.
But they probably didn't expect that their plan would be intercepted as soon as it began, and the little devils they brought with them would also be trapped in the false world, becoming consumables for this joint exam.
Those demons trapped in the false world would not be able to exit the false world unscathed like the candidates after death.
Instead, they would die completely in this Grand Sorcery space like the monsters at the beginning.
Amidst the discussion, I spoke again.
"By the way, please inform each other about this matter to prevent unnecessary panic because everyone doesn't know the situation. Hmm... that's about it. Good luck. I will also help you in my own way."
After saying this, I also prepared to leave directly.
After all, there was no point in staying any longer.
If they still had questions, I wouldn't know how to answer.
After all, these were the ntors' problems.
Asking was useless.
"Wait!"
"Hmm?"
My footsteps paused for a mont.
If soone else had called out to at this ti, I might not have stopped.
But the owner of this voice was Tan Han, so I turned back to look at her, my expression not changing much.
"Are there any other questions?"
"Let ask... killing those demons... does it count for points?"
"Oh a tricky question. I'm really not sure about that. But... if you really have the ability to clean up all these demons, I think the academy will definitely reward you, right? If not... I will apply to the ntors on my personal behalf."
I raised my eyebrows, not expecting Tan Han to ask this question.
Although I really didn't know how to answer, from Tan Han's question, it could be seen that she had accepted the current situation.
So I didn't mind making them a promise at this ti, and then see if I could fulfill it later.
After all, in the face of this kind of ergency, I didn't believe the academy had no intention of compensating them at all.
Everyone watched leave, and for a mont, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.
So were unwilling to accept that the joint exam was not being stopped even with such an accident, while others lanted the change in status that made them sigh...
"Alright everyone, since the joint exam is to continue, then let's continue! It's just Abyssal Demons, right? Those guys were so arrogant when they bullied us in Ninglan New City last ti, so now let's retaliate! Let those disgusting guys know what kind of existence they have provoked!"
Following Tan Han's passionate speech, everyone's emotions were quickly mobilized.
They had felt uncomfortable, just because the sudden situation and their own thoughts had too great a gap.
But after recovering and accepting reality, and now being told this by Tan Han, they were suddenly motivated!
Avenge Sister Tan Han!
Whether they had experienced the Ninglan New City incident or not, they were all willing to wield their butcher's knives against those disgusting monsters under the banner of revenge, to kill them until not a single one was left!
Just like the original monsters on the Bobapus Archipelago.
And at this mont, I had naturally left here and co to another side.
The academy had not inford us teaching assistants in advance about the sudden attack of the Abyssal Demons, and the rules did not ntion it.
So this also ant that in the face of this kind of ergency, I could also take action.
Although I also really hoped to leave the false world and see what a clash at the Transcendent level was like, that level was already a scene that I could not touch.
And I was a little worried about Big Sis Bai.
But thinking that for these Abyssal Demons this ti, just the Witch Academy had dispatched so many Transcendent witches, including Big Sis Bai, there should... not be any accidents.
