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

After seriously listening to Aron's words, Irving solemnly replied, "Since you've decided to stay and continue fighting, I won't force you to leave. But I must remind you that you will encounter many dangers in the upcoming battle."

Aron smiled and said, "Do you think I care about danger? Do you think I'm someone who fears death? If I truly feared death, I wouldn't have joined the Angel Guild! And don't forget, there's a deep-seated enmity between the Angel Guild and the Night Blades. I won't give up this opportunity to fight against the Night Blades! Unless you force me to leave, I won't run away!"

Since Aron had already expressed his determination, Irving had no choice but to allow him to fight alongside him. "Alright then, lead your men to help me confront Elder Kent."

As soon as Irving finished speaking, the barrier above the castle was shattered by Elder Kent. In that instant, an overwhelming wave of dark energy surged toward everyone in the castle.

All of them realized they were being eroded by this dark power. Except for Irving, everyone else wore expressions of shock.

"Do you still hold on to your previous conviction? Do you still dare to continue fighting alongside me?" Irving asked Aron again.

Although Aron felt a certain amount of pain and understood that the upcoming battle would be extremely dangerous, he was absolutely unwilling to change his mind.

"I'll answer your question one last time! I will fight alongside you! If Elder Kent is truly much stronger than us, then let us die together at his hands!"

Irving finally confirmed that Aron was genuinely committed to fighting by his side until the end. "Alright, I believe in you this time!"

After saying this, Irving charged directly toward Elder Kent. He was ready to confront Kent head-on. The moment the two collided, everyone in the castle felt a violent surge of energy.

Even Aron and Anna were knocked off balance by the force of the energy wave.

"Their strength is just too overwhelming; we don't stand a chance of joining their fight," Anna said, her voice tinged with panic.

Aron watched the battle between Irving and Elder Kent unfold in the sky. "Don't lose heart! Even if we can't directly join the fight, we can still provide support to Irving!"

After saying this, Aron launched an attack on the Night Blades members outside the castle. The entire castle had transformed into a fierce battlefield. Everyone in the battle had no option to retreat, as the castle was gradually being sealed by dark forces.

Outside the castle, James was leading his men swiftly toward the castle to provide support. He was also aware of the battle erupting within its walls. However, he felt that they wouldn't arrive in time, as he and his subordinates were moving too slowly.

"The powerful dark forces are preventing us from using our teleportation skills! In this situation, it will take us a significant amount of time to reach the castle. President, we won't make it in time," one of James's subordinates said anxiously.

James's expression did not change at all; he simply responded coldly, "We must keep moving forward! Even if we can't arrive in time, we cannot afford to stop!"

James understood very well that he needed to demonstrate his capabilities in this battle. Even if they couldn't reach the castle promptly, they had to make an effort to get there. If they just stopped without trying, Irving would never trust him again.

Under James's urging, his subordinates continued to advance. Although they were exhausted, they dared not defy James's orders.

In the real world, Nick had gathered all the members of the Angel Guild. At that moment, Nick was unaware of the fierce battle occurring within the castle. He only thought that there was an issue with the Angel Guild's own defensive area.

"We need to enter the shelter game as soon as possible. The Night Blades have launched an attack against us, and only our Angel Guild's defensive region is experiencing issues. If we don't want to be looked down upon by others, we must ensure that our defensive area is secure. So, once we're prepared, let's move out!"

Under Nick's leadership, the members of the Angel Guild quickly made their way to the area surrounding the castle.

In that moment, Nick finally realized that his previous assumptions were completely off base. The entire castle was shrouded in powerful dark forces. No one could penetrate the darkness to enter the castle. This meant that he and the members of the Angel Guild he had brought were of no help in the battle.

"What should we do next? Are we just going to stand here and watch?" one of the Angel Guild members asked Nick.

Nick shook his head. "We can't just stand by and watch! Although we can't get through the dark forces, we should still weaken them! Follow my lead and attack the barrier made of dark power!"

Under Nick's leadership, the members of the Angel Guild began to assault the dark energy barrier. Although their actions weren't yielding quick results, they still managed to create some distractions for Elder Kent.

Inside the castle, Elder Kent felt his dark power waning. He was eager to eliminate Irving quickly.

"Do you really think you can defeat me this way? Even with many allies, there's no way you can defeat me in a head-on fight. So you might as well accept your fate!" Elder Kent shouted angrily, his voice filled with urgency.

Irving wore a faint smile on his face. He was clearly unfazed by Elder Kent's words. In fact, he felt that Kent's remarks indicated he was running out of options.

"You have no chance of defeating me now; I have the situation under control! Your power is rapidly diminishing, and soon I will defeat you," Irving said, his words holding a degree of truth. Moreover, they successfully provoked Elder Kent.

In a fit of extreme anger, Elder Kent unleashed all his dark power and charged at Irving.

Irving knew he couldn't withstand this full-force attack from Elder Kent. So, he chose to flee deeper into the castle.

"It seems you realize you're not my match! But it's too late to run; no matter how you try to escape, you will never get out of the castle!" Elder Kent shouted as he pursued Irving.

The two of them raced through the castle until they reached its innermost depths. Standing before a half-open door, Irving smiled as he watched Elder Kent arrive.

"I never thought a person could fall into the same trap twice. Don't you ever reflect on your failures? You will be defeated by me once again, and this time, using the same tactic!"

After saying this, Irving fully opened the door.

Then, a tide of Dark Monsters surged out from behind the door. Elder Kent initially struggled to comprehend what Irving was saying, but upon seeing the multitude of Dark Monsters, he quickly grasped Irving's strategy. However, Elder Kent was not particularly panicked. In his view, he possessed enough powerful dark forces to handle the situation.

He believed he could control these Dark Monsters using his dark power. Kent felt that his current position was even more advantageous than before. He could absorb the dark power from the Dark Monsters into his own body, further enhancing his strength.

Once he made the decision, Kent took immediate action. He absorbed the power from one of the Dark Monsters into his body. But just as the dark energy was fully assimilated, he suddenly felt a severe conflict occurring within his own dark power. The clash of dark forces ripped Kent's body apart.

"What's happening?! Why are these dark powers clashing with each other?!" Kent muttered in disbelief.

Irving emerged from the shadows, watching Elder Kent suffer with a smile on his face. "You didn't think the dark power of these Dark Monsters is the same as yours, did you? These Dark Monsters have existed since long ago, and their dark power is completely different from yours. By daring to absorb two different kinds of dark power, you are digging your own grave!"

Irving spoke in a very calm tone. While it was gratifying to see Kent's impending destruction due to his scheme, Irving felt that his own crisis was not yet fully resolved. Thus, he saw no need to express excessive joy at the moment.

Although Kent was enduring immense pain from the repulsion of the dark powers, he still used countless eyes on his body to fixate on Irving. "Even if you defeat me, it doesn't mean you've achieved ultimate success. The power of Night Blades far exceeds your imagination! The other elders of Night Blades will surely eliminate you!"

Elder Kent continued to threaten Irving. In response, Irving chuckled softly. "You're right; Night Blades indeed possesses formidable strength. But you'll never witness their triumph over me! Perhaps no member of Night Blades will ever see that scene!"

After saying this, Irving turned and left. He no longer needed to stay there, for Elder Kent had no chance of survival.
