I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 258 The exam is over!

Now, it appears twice in a row in one day, which is an unprecedented situation.

Yi Hua glanced at the dark and strange power escaping from the cracks on the ground. He quickly realized that the daytime period when the secret world came again was probably affected by the strange power.

Since the strange power is now enough to affect the day and night of the secret world, it means that the strange power has increased to an extremely terrifying level.

Yihua immediately thought of the scene during the last daylight period, when hundreds of shadows of the dead attacked him and a group of Illuminati apprentices under the influence of strange powers.

After the last daylight period, hundreds, thousands of apprentices died in the secret world.

There are even third-class apprentices such as Melkor and Enzo who are at the top level in this apprenticeship competition.

It is still unknown how much the death of these apprentices can bring about an improvement in the strange power in the secret world.

Realizing the coming danger, Yi Hua's eyes flashed and he immediately ordered:
"All apprentices, form a defensive formation immediately! Don't spread too thin!"

Upon hearing Yihua's order, less than two hundred apprentices who had been dispersed due to the previous earthquake quickly gathered in accordance with the order after a brief commotion and constructed a defensive witchcraft.

"Could it be said that the daytime period has come again?"

"It's been less than an hour since the last daylight period ended. How could it happen again..."

"In the previous daytime period, the shadow of the dead that attacked already possessed the terrifying strength of the third-level peak. This time, it won't reach the fourth-level level, right?"

"It seems that now we can only place our hope on the Vice President again."

"With the Vice President here, we will be able to successfully resist the attack of the Shadow of the Dead again and survive this daylight period!"

Amid the murmurs of discussion, a group of surviving apprentices quickly gathered together.

Compared to the surviving apprentices from the Silver Star Society or other organizations.

Under the leadership of Yi Hua, most of the Illuminati apprentices who had successfully resisted an attack by the Shadow of the Dead responded extremely quickly.

Yi Hua, on the other hand, stood on top of the lumen stone vein tens of meters high, looking around, trying to capture the pale white figure of the Shadow of the Dead.

After a while, a pale, slightly illusory shadow of the deceased suddenly appeared at the edge of the forest hundreds of meters away.

Seeing this, Yi Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that there were more than one shadows of the dead who were about to attack, and he did not move his eyes away.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, more than ten shadows of the deceased appeared out of thin air around the first shadow of the deceased.

With most of the seal broken, the shadow of the deceased transformed by the strange power escaping from the "egg of the evil god" seems to have gained some wisdom.

Next, the shadow of the deceased that appeared again was no longer stuck in the same location, but appeared at various locations hundreds of meters away from the apprentices.

Time passed by minute by second, and gradually, Yihua's expression became serious.

Because the number of shadows of the dead appearing nearby at this time has exceeded one hundred.

This is almost comparable to the total number of shadows of the dead that Yihua destroyed during the previous daytime period in several rounds!

In a moment, these shadows of the dead appeared in different directions around everyone, faintly surrounding them.

At this time, the number of nearby shadows of the dead continued to increase.

150, two hundred, three hundred...

At this time, the surviving apprentices present also gradually discovered the extremely terrifying number of shadows of the dead appearing around them.

Each one of them showed solemn, even frightened expressions.

"How could this be? Are there too many shadows of the dead around? It seems to be increasing now!"

"I just did a rough count, and the number of shadows of the dead appearing around us has exceeded three hundred!"

"Three hundred! Are you kidding? There are less than 200 surviving apprentices on the field. Doesn't this mean that our strength is not only far inferior to the Shadow of the Dead, but we are not even as numerous as our enemies?"

"Could it be said that we are now surrounded by the shadows of the dead?"

Having experienced the previous attack by the Shadow of the Dead, all the surviving apprentices in the secret world are now extremely impressed by the terrifying strength of the Shadow of the Dead.

As discussions continued, panic gradually spread.

Some apprentices realize that they alone, or the other apprentices around them, simply cannot survive the attack of such a terrifying number of shadows of the dead before them.

Then, as if he remembered something, he subconsciously raised his head and suddenly looked at Yihua high up.

"By the way, the strongest among this batch of apprentices, Yi Hua, who just killed Melkor, is here with us!"

"Having said that, there are more than 300 shadows of the dead that are at least the third level, and may have reached the fourth level! Does Yi Hua really have a way to deal with them?"

Although everyone has high hopes for Yi Hua today, looking at the number of shadows of the dead that are still increasing in the distance and approaching four hundred, he feels a great deal of pressure in his heart.

It is true that with his strength, he can directly summon the fourth-level undead and dead men, and he can kill dozens of shadows of the dead in one encounter, and create a realm of death that can corrode all existences that enter it.

Even if the number of shadows of the dead attacking is endless, Yihua can hide in the world of death at any time, temporarily avoiding the dangers in the secret world, and then come out again after the daylight period is over.

But most of the surrounding apprentices who were from the Illuminati were unable to leave with Yihua.

A larger number of organizational members is both an advantage and a disadvantage of the organization.

It is still an extremely difficult task for Yihua at this moment to protect all the apprentices present unscathed under the siege of hundreds of shadows of the dead from all directions.

"Although the Decay Centaur is strong, as a fourth-level undead and a third-level necromancer, the number that I can summon at the same time is too rare, and I cannot protect the Illuminati apprentices present... It seems that this is the only way."

Just when Yihua was about to summon the faceless shadow again, and use the secret treasure he had just killed Melkor to fend off the enemy, he took the first step before the number of shadows of the dead increased to more.

Thousands of meters away, a black shadow roared past. At a terrifying speed of 800 meters per second, which was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, it suddenly hit the gathering shadow army of the dead in the distance.

As the black shadow moved closer and closer, it tore through the surrounding air and stirred up strong winds. The vision revealed also attracted the attention of all the apprentices present.

Many surviving apprentices also temporarily moved their eyes away from the increasing number of shadows of the dead in the distance and looked at the black shadows flashing past in the sky.

"Look! What is that!"

"What a terrifying speed. Could it be a meteorite?"

"Wait a minute, that thing seems to be coming towards us!"

The black shadow gradually covered a distance of thousands of meters in just a few seconds, quickly approaching the location of the surviving apprentices.

Many apprentices present showed signs of panic, and the originally dense formation became looser, with faint signs of disintegration.

But the moment Yihua, who was sitting high up, saw the black shadow, a sense of déjà vu flashed through his heart. "The black shadow whizzing past...wait, can you tell me!"

Yihua seemed to realize something, and his eyes lit up.

In the next second, the black shadow flying downwards crossed the surviving apprentices on the field and crashed onto the edge of the forest where hundreds of shadows of the dead were scattered.

boom!
In an instant, a mushroom cloud covering a radius of tens of meters suddenly rose, and a terrifying tremor came from the ground.

Even the many surviving apprentices who were hundreds of meters away were mostly unsteady due to tremors and fell to the ground unable to get up for a while.

When most of the apprentices were still in a trance, they were shaken to pieces.

Yihua, who was standing firmly on the high place, did not look at the mushroom cloud on the ground, but looked further up the high place.

Shortly after the mushroom cloud appeared, another black shadow flashed across the sky in the distance.

After a while, the black shadow reached the sky above the giant lumen stone vein at a speed similar to the former.

As the strongest among all the apprentices present, Yi Hua and Lei Yi, who were the least affected by the earthquake tremors, saw the figure in black clothes in the sky, their eyes lit up and they greeted each other:

"Teacher Simon."

"Teacher Simon?"

Looking down at Yihua and Rey, both of whom were fine, Simon nodded and once again looked at the hundreds of remaining shadows of the dead around him.

Since most of the shadows of the deceased that appeared now were scattered, they formed a circle around everyone.

Therefore, Simon's blow just now, although powerful, only created a large gap in the shadow of the dead that surrounded the apprentices.

There are still more than 200 and less than [-] shadows of the dead left around.

"The level of top third-class apprentices, such an astonishing number...is this the last counterattack before being temporarily suppressed by Audlina and breaking the seal?"

Simon glanced at the remaining shadows of the dead around him and murmured to himself.

The next second, as Simon waved, he was in the position of the mushroom cloud, in a deep pit shrouded in thick smoke.

The iconic black coffin that Simon had been carrying rose into the air and returned to Simon's side.

Glancing at the remaining shadows of the dead that seemed to be stimulated by Simon's actions, their figures were vague and ready to attack the surviving apprentices below, Simon snorted coldly.

Suddenly, he clenched his fists, and then suddenly unclenched them——

"burst!"

There were more than 200 remaining ones on the ground, and the shadows of the dead that were approaching the surviving apprentices at high speed exploded instantly as Simon's voice fell.

Boom boom boom!
In an instant, only patches of empty black mist were left in the open space around the surviving apprentices.

At this time, most of the apprentices on the ground were recovering from the tremors caused by the black coffin thrown by Simon earlier.

He saw the shadow of hundreds of dead people casually killing hundreds of dead people high in the sky, a familiar figure dressed in black attire and carrying a black coffin.

After being stunned for a short time, they all showed an expression of extreme fanaticism.

"The one in the sky seems to be the powerful fifth-level instructor in the academy who is said to be no less powerful than the branch dean, Lord Larov - Lord Simon, 'The Death Crow'!"

"Unexpectedly, as time passed, Lord Simon actually entered the secret world to rescue us. It seems that all the abnormalities that occurred in this apprenticeship examination are indeed abnormal conditions that should not exist. Now the fifth-level instructors from the outside world have noticed it!"

"Since Lord Simon, 'The Death Crow', seems to have taken action, it seems that the dust has settled. It's just that after experiencing various abnormalities, I don't know if the ranking of this apprenticeship examination will still count."

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Simon had already taken action at once, completely clearing away the hundreds of shadows of the dead around him.

Simon, who finally had some free time, turned his attention to the surviving apprentices on the ground.

In the race against time, Simon immediately announced without any delay:
"Due to abnormal circumstances, on behalf of the Nine Rings White Tower Branch, I hereby announce that this apprenticeship examination will be terminated early!"

"Next, I will announce only the true list of all surviving apprentices in the secret world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the surviving apprentices below, Simon waved his hand, and information instantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes——

[Real-time score list of surviving apprentices in the apprenticeship exam]

[No.1——Iva Fercis——Currently holds points: 33285 points]

[No.2——Rey Fercis——Currently holding points: 10325 points]

[No.3——Gabriel Fanell——Currently holds points: 7789 points]

……

[972...Currently holding points: 38 points]

Seeing the last one, including Yi Hua, most of the apprentices' pupils tightened and their hearts were shocked.

"Isn't it? Now less than two days have passed, and there are less than a thousand surviving apprentices left in the secret world?"

"You must know that the ability to contact the outside world through the token and leave the secret world has been lost. Doesn't this mean that most of the apprentices who participated in this apprenticeship examination basically died in the secret world?"

"There are nearly [-] apprentices taking this exam, and I'm afraid at least half of them died in the secret world. No wonder the strange power in the secret world has been increased to a level close to that of fourth-class apprentices."

Recalling the rumors that the Death Apprentice in the secret world would increase the intensity of the strange power, Yi Hua thought to himself.

There were nearly two hundred apprentices who survived on the field, and they immediately realized that they were now one of the less than a thousand surviving apprentices.

So I felt lucky in my heart, and even knelt on the ground, grateful to Yihua and Simon for their rescue.

Seeing that the surviving apprentices understood the current situation, Simon did not hesitate. Knowing that there were other apprentices who needed to be saved, he immediately took out the golden badge in his arms.

Entering the secret world requires activating two badges at the same time, but leaving the secret world, only activating one is enough.

As spiritual power was poured into it, the golden badge in Simon's hand emitted a dazzling light.

Stab it!

The sound of broken cloth suddenly sounded from the surviving apprentices in the open space dozens of meters away.

At the same time, there was also a passage that vaguely showed the scene in the open space of the high tower outside.
