The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

At the same time that Shadow Celestial escaped the Night Blades headquarters with Aron, Irving reunited with James and Nick.

"Are you two alright? The attacks from Elder Astra and Elder Seville shouldn't have caused you too much harm, right?" Irving asked directly.

Although Irving had faced the greatest pressure during the battle, he himself had not been injured. He suspected that James and Nick might have sustained injuries.

James quickly shook his head. "I wasn't hurt. Even though Elder Seville launched a surprise attack on me, I managed to dodge in time. Plus, you bore the brunt of the pressure, so you should be more concerned about yourself."

After James spoke, Nick chimed in, "That's right! You need to pay attention to your condition! Without you, we definitely wouldn't have been able to escape. Our next actions will undoubtedly face some dangers, so you must ensure that you're in peak condition."

In response to their reminders, Irving nodded. "Don't worry, I'm feeling great. However, my power has been nearly depleted, and we should return to the real world as soon as possible."

Even though Irving was uninjured, he felt that staying in the Shelter Game world was still too dangerous. He hoped to return to the real world to rest and recuperate. Once he had restored his strength, he would return to the Shelter Game world. At that time, he would have his final showdown with Elder Seville and Elder Astra. He was determined to settle the score with those two elders!

James and Nick naturally did not oppose Irving's suggestion. The three of them promptly returned to the shelter and then transitioned back to the real world.

Upon returning to the real world, the first thing they did was head to the headquarters of Angel Guild. At the Angel Guild headquarters, they received a flood of information, all of it bad news.

"What are you saying? Anna and the others have entered the Shelter Game world to rescue us?" Irving asked incredulously, directing his question at an Angel Guild member.

The member quickly nodded. "Yes! Anna, Benjamin, and Vicky have all entered the Shelter Game world together. But you don't need to worry too much; they have a lot of items and weapons with them. They even took the most powerful items that Angel Guild possesses."

The Angel Guild member relayed all the information he knew to Irving, hoping to calm him down.

Irving nodded, "I understand. I don't have any other questions; you can return to your duties."

With that, Irving dismissed the Angel Guild member.

After the Angel Guild member left, Irving's expression quickly turned anxious.

"Why did Anna and Vicky act so recklessly? Don't they realize their strength isn't that great? Don't they understand that their impulsive actions could put us in even greater danger?" Irving thought the actions of Anna and the others were extremely reckless. In his view, since they were already in crisis, others should be even more cautious about taking action. After all, the strength of the others was far inferior to his own.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that moment, Nick spoke up to defend Anna, as he was also a member of Angel Guild. "I think Anna had her reasons for doing this. Before we left the Abyss, Anna and the others must have been very panicked. Everyone was trapped, and Aron was in the most dangerous situation. Aron and Benjamin were both captured by the Abyssal Demon; Benjamin managed to escape, but Aron was taken away by Shadow Celestial. Angel Guild and Night Blades are extremely hostile to each other. With Aron in Shadow Celestial's hands, he must be in great danger. Anna has a very close relationship with Aron, so of course, she would be very anxious."

Nick's explanation was enough to partially convince Irving. He nodded. "You're right. But no matter how you explain it, it doesn't change the situation we are facing. The number of people we need to rescue is growing!"

Irving, having learned the specific effects of the World Connector, understood exactly where Anna and the others were now. Shadow Celestial would definitely take Aron back to his secret base. This also meant that Anna and the others were currently at Shadow Celestial's secret base.

"It seems we must head back to the Shelter Game world immediately! Even though my condition isn't fully restored, if we continue to waste time, Anna and the others' situation will surely worsen," Irving declared, planning to take Nick and James back to the Shelter Game world.

They had only rested for less than an hour, and they did not have any additional items or weapons. Anna had taken all of Angel Guild's powerful weapons with her. Even if Irving and the others wanted to carry other weapons, it was impossible.

Meanwhile, deep within the Night Blades headquarters, Anna, Benjamin, and Vicky were filled with regret. They had been surrounded by the Elders of Night Blades.

The three of them could only temporarily block the attacks from the Elders of Night Blades using the World Connector and the structure at the deepest part of the Night Blades headquarters.

"I'm really sorry; I was too reckless! I didn't expect the World Connector to bring us directly to the deepest part of the Night Blades headquarters," Anna said apologetically to Vicky and Benjamin.

Benjamin did not respond at all. To him, apologizing now was meaningless. Since they were already trapped in the deepest part of the Night Blades headquarters, the next step was clearly to find a way to escape.

Vicky, however, was able to understand Anna. She forced a smile, saying, "You don't need to apologize! We actually support your plan. The dangers we face are the responsibility of all three of us. There's no reason to blame you alone."

Vicky's words did not have much of an effect. Anna truly believed that Vicky and Benjamin had no reason to risk themselves alongside her. She felt that rescuing Aron was her responsibility alone.

While the three were talking, a loud noise came from the nearby wall again.

"The Elders of Night Blades are about to break through the last wall! We need to prepare for the upcoming battle! Can the World Connector be used again?" Benjamin asked Anna directly.

Benjamin was not concerned about whose fault it was that they found themselves in such a dire situation. He was only focused on the battle plan moving forward.

Anna shook her head. "The World Connector can't be used again for a short period of time. We need to hold out for one hour. After that, the World Connector will be available again."

Anna's response left Benjamin speechless. To him, it seemed impossible to hold out for an hour. Even lasting ten minutes would be a struggle. If the last wall was breached by the Elders of Night Blades, they would be eliminated immediately.

"Have you already devised a battle plan for what comes next?" Vicky asked Benjamin with a hint of curiosity.

Benjamin nodded reluctantly. "Even though the World Connector can't be used, we can treat it as our defensive anchor. When the World Connector is not activated, it creates a significant impact on the surroundings. We should use the World Connector to disrupt the actions of the Elders of Night Blades. After all, we have plenty of items on hand, and we can use them to fight to the death."

Although Benjamin proposed a plan, he didn't truly believe it would succeed. He simply hoped to fight until the end. Vicky and Anna could tell from Benjamin's tone that he felt very uncertain.

Anna said earnestly, "No matter what happens, I will fight until the end. If there's a chance to escape, I will help you hold off the enemies."

Anna's words were sincere. While Benjamin felt there was no real chance of escaping, he had to admit that Anna was indeed taking on the responsibilities she should.

"We won't run away alone! We will fight until the end! Besides, even if we tried to escape alone, we wouldn't be able to because we're in the deepest part of the Night Blades headquarters right now," Benjamin quickly added.

As soon as he finished speaking, another loud noise came from the nearby wall. After the massive sound, cracks began to appear on the wall. It was clear that the last wall was about to be destroyed by the Elders of Night Blades.

Benjamin quickly said, "Stop thinking about anything else! Get ready for battle; we are about to face the attack from the Elders of Night Blades!"

Following Benjamin's reminder, Anna and Vicky immediately prepared for battle. They gathered all the usable items together. Even if they couldn't achieve success in the fight, they could use these items to make the Elders of Night Blades pay a heavy price.

The loud noise came again, and the cracks in the wall multiplied. With a sharp sound, a huge fissure appeared on the wall. Behind the crack, the figures of the Elders of Night Blades emerged. Benjamin and the others could even hear the Elders speaking.

"The last wall is about to be destroyed! Everyone, prepare for battle! We absolutely cannot let those who dare to intrude into the Night Blades headquarters escape successfully!" came an aged yet authoritative voice.

At that moment, upon hearing this voice, Benjamin tightened his grip on his weapon. "Get ready for battle! The fight is about to begin! We must let the enemy know our strength right from the start!" he quietly reminded Vicky and Anna.

In Benjamin's perspective, since they were at a disadvantage in strength, they should strike hard against their opponents right at the beginning of the battle. This would create a misjudgment of the situation on the part of the enemy, allowing them to buy more time.
