Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 459 - 460: Classroom Commotion [2/2]

It appeared that Teacher Yu was the sister of Duke Xiao. If this esteemed lady developed an affection for him, it could potentially lead to positive sentiments towards the entire Dragon Clan. Maybe she would even speak favorably of them to her brother in the future.

If that were the case, it might mean the end of the difficult days for the Dragon Race, or at least a significant improvement.

Thinking about this, Gari’s dragon-like eyes narrowed suddenly, and a strong determination welled up within him.

’Let’s go! It’s all for the future of our Dragon Clan, for our revival!’

With unwavering resolve, Gari encouraged himself inwardly. While doing so, he couldn’t help but notice Shania, the Elven Princess, who displayed remarkably similar behavior to his own.

Upon reflection, her actions seemed rather peculiar.

’ Didn’t we meet before?’

Recalling Shania’s earlier unusual behavior, Gari furrowed his brow.

’Wait a minute? Didn’t Mother mention something about the ’friendly’ relationship between Black Rose Family and the Elves...’

’Friendly, huh? Friendly???!!!’

With this thought, Gari squinted his eyes, a contemplative glint passing through them. On the other side, feeling Gari’s gaze, Shania slowly turned her head and met the Dragon Prince’s eyes.

In that brief moment of eye contact, both parties seemed to sense a shared understanding, as if they were kindred spirits who had faced similar hardships.

For a while, the Dragon boy and the Elf girl silently locked eyes, enveloped in an unusual silence.

Gradually, both sides even felt their eyes welling up with emotions.

This strange scene left Yaze, who was observing nearby, twitching his eyebrows and unable to hold back his comments.

"Weren’t you two always arguing before? Why do you suddenly look like you’ve found your soulmate? What’s going on?"

Startled by Yaze’s remarks, Gari and Shania quickly snapped back to reality. They then simultaneously turned their heads away, avoiding any further eye contact.

"Nothing, nothing at all!"

both the dragon boy and the elven girl chimed in simultaneously.

There was a brief silence, leaving Yaze’s expression even more enigmatic.

"Let it be, whatever... I still need to focus on the class," he mumbled with a touch of resignation. He shook his head and tightened his grip on the pen, preparing to await Teacher Yu’s next topic. Yaze was eager to learn about the next abyss demon that Teacher Yu would introduce. Would it be in the form of a dragon? Perhaps a fierce tiger? Or maybe... a snake?

"Hmm?"

As Yaze pondered these questions while following the mysterious figure toward the next abyss demon exhibit, a peculiar and eerie growl suddenly reached his ears. It sent shivers down the excited student’s spine, making him look around nervously, furrowing his brow, and adopting a serious expression.

"What... what’s that sound? Could it be the roar of a fearsome beast?" Yaze felt a foreboding in his heart.

Following the source of the sound and the eerie vibrations, Yaze looked toward a large tunnel not far away that led downwards. His eyes abruptly widened, a mixture of fear and unease filling his brown pupils.

"Hey?! Is this some kind of prank?!!!" Yaze exclaimed.

In that moment, not only Yaze but also Gari, Shania, and the other students turned their attention to the massive tunnel.

And then, in the next moment, Yaze’s uneasy premonition was suddenly confirmed.

*Howl! Roar! Roar!!! Howl!*

Accompanied by a series of heart-rending, ferocious, and bloodthirsty roars, an overwhelming, sinister Shadow force erupted from the tunnel. It swept through the open square, instantly causing almost everyone’s expressions to change dramatically.

Following this, under the bewildered gaze of Yaze and the others, a colossal abyssal demon with peak stage of sixth-level, covered in foul black mud, resembling a grotesque fusion of fish and lizard, let out a horrifying roar as it tore open the tunnel’s entrance and crawled out. It exuded a chilling, bloodthirsty intent and charged toward everyone.

"Abyss... abyssal demon?!"

"What the heck is going on?!"

"How did this thing get out, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

In an instant, terrified screams echoed across the square. The peaceful atmosphere that had prevailed just moments ago was now completely shattered. This sudden turn of events plunged almost everyone into a state of panic.

Seeing the hideous monster rapidly approaching the black-haired girl at the forefront of the group, Yaze anxiously shouted ahead,

"Teacher Yu!! Be careful!!!"

...

...

"Hehe... just like this! Yes! Hurry, charge at her!"

On the other side, hidden at another tunnel entrance and silently observing the chaotic scene, Hans couldn’t help but reveal a cruel smile. Clearly, this abyssal demon that had been temporarily released from underground was meant to expose the lies of the black-haired girl.

’Heh heh, didn’t you say these fish-human demons are easy to deal with? Then go ahead and show us how to deal with it using your methods! Stop theorizing on paper; now you have a real combat opportunity~’

Hans’s expression became very satisfied. He couldn’t wait to see the other side’s true capabilities. He never really believed that she had the strength of a seventh level. Even if she did, it was likely achieved through a variety of pills from Black Rose. It must be a fake Cultivation! Such fakes couldn’t possibly defeat a peak level 6 demon!

When she embarrassed herself by failing to defeat this demon, he would step in and detonate the bomb inside the demon, eliminating it. This way, he would not only accomplish a significant feat but also make the vice principal and the board of directors of the academy realize the true level of this fake teacher.

Indeed, it was killing two birds with one stone.

The more Hans contemplated, the more his excitement grew. He clenched his fists tightly, eagerly anticipating the moment when the abyssal demon would swat the black-haired girl aside right before his eyes.

However, in the next moment, Hans awkwardly realized that reality was unfolding in a somewhat unexpected manner.

"Huh?!"

With an exclamation, Hans, looking somewhat dumbfounded, observed as the charging demon, on the verge of striking the black-haired girl and sending her flying, inexplicably froze in place. It transformed into something resembling a stone statue right in front of the girl.

Moreover, it might be his imagination, but that emotionless abyssal demon seemed to have shown a trace of fear in its eyes just now….

"???!!!"

"What on earth?!!"

For a moment, Hans began to question life itself and pinched his own face with his fingers.

...

Simultaneously,

On the elevated platform,

Amon, the Second Prince of Red Leaf Empire, who had witnessed this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly and observed thoughtfully the peculiarly behaving abyssal demon and the beautiful black-haired girl standing before it.

"Just as I expected..."
