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

Suddenly, a frantic knocking echoed from outside the door.

"What is it? I need a quiet environment to think right now. If it\'s not extremely important, please don\'t disturb me!" the follower called out, his voice tinged with impatience.

After he uttered those words, the knocking ceased. However, just ten seconds later, the knocking resumed, even more urgent than before.

The follower\'s anger flared. "Did you not understand what I said? I have very important matters to attend to. Don\'t disrupt my train of thought!"

As he grumbled, he made his way to the door. With a flash of irritation, he opened it.

In an instant, he froze upon seeing who was outside. It was none other than Irving and Nick.

"It seems you are indeed quite busy. However, I still hope you can answer a few of my questions," Irving said as he pushed past Howard\'s follower, entering the room with Nick in tow.

"You must know why I am here, right? I need to take my companions away. If you want to survive, it\'s best that you release them," Irving stated, his tone surprisingly calm.

Yet to Howard\'s follower, every word dripped with hostility. Initially panicked, he quickly composed himself.

"I really don\'t understand what you mean. Aren\'t we supposed to be cooperating? The Werewolf God is our common enemy. Why have you suddenly come here?"

Clearly, the follower was unaware that Elder Howard had already been consumed by Elder Lawrence.

Irving simply replied, "We were only cooperating before, and now the basis for that cooperation no longer exists. Your power is simply too weak. Elder Howard has even been consumed by Elder Lawrence."

Upon hearing this, Howard\'s loyal follower was taken aback. "That\'s absolutely impossible! Lawrence has betrayed Night Blades; he has been completely eradicated! How could he possibly be here and have consumed Elder Howard?"

Naturally, the follower was not going to accept this claim easily. But Irving paid no mind to his skepticism.

"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. I won\'t give you much time. Release Vicky immediately, or I will annihilate you and all the members of Night Blades," Irving said coldly, suddenly turning to face him.

Howard\'s follower furrowed his brow, contemplating Irving\'s words. After a moment, he decided to comply and release Vicky. "Since you\'ve put it that way, I will follow your orders. However, I hope you can provide me with more information. What exactly caused Elder Howard to be consumed by Elder Lawrence?"

In reality, Howard\'s follower was beginning to believe the information Irving had provided. He just wanted to understand how such a situation had come about.

Irving replied coolly, "I don\'t know the specifics. But I can offer you a piece of advice: while your Night Blades members still have the chance to retreat, you should leave this place quickly. It\'s about to become much more dangerous."

After saying this, Irving turned and left with Nick. Although he could have wiped out all the members of Night Blades, he chose not to. Doing so would inadvertently assist his enemies.

While the members of Night Blades might not be particularly strong, their presence could disrupt the Werewolf God\'s judgment, and Night Blades and Lawrence were certainly at odds with each other. So, keeping Night Blades around would surely interfere with the actions of the other two factions.

After gathering sufficient information, Irving quickly rescued Vicky. When she saw him, her face lit up with joy.

"You finally came to save me! I thought you had abandoned me! I was about to lose hope!" Vicky exclaimed, her voice tinged with a slight sob.

Irving gently patted Vicky on the head. "Don\'t cry anymore. I\'m here now, aren\'t I? I would never abandon you because I promised you that as long as I\'m safe, I will ensure your safety."

Irving\'s words finally calmed Vicky down.

Vicky glanced around and suddenly noticed that only Benjamin and Nick were beside Irving.

"Did you really only bring those two to rescue me? What about the other strong members of Angel Guild? Haven\'t they collaborated with you?" Vicky asked, her concern evident. She feared that the relationship between Irving and Angel Guild had worsened again. In her eyes, only through close cooperation with all allies could they effectively respond to such a dire situation.

Upon hearing Vicky\'s words, Nick\'s expression darkened. Benjamin quickly stepped in to explain.

"During this operation, Angel Guild has provided us with significant assistance. However, because of that, Aron and Anna have fallen under the control of Elder Lawrence. We currently cannot help them because we don\'t even know their location. The situation in the Desolate Canyon is very complicated right now, so we need to leave as soon as possible."

Benjamin\'s thoughts aligned with Irving\'s. He believed that since they had successfully rescued Vicky, they needed to make a swift exit. While Aron and Anna were indeed important figures, they were strong enough to hold their own for a time.

After hearing Benjamin\'s explanation, Vicky\'s expression became more uncertain.

"We can\'t just leave like this. After all, they came here to rescue me. If I leave now, wouldn\'t that make me ungrateful?" Vicky felt that leaving would jeopardize the cooperation with Angel Guild.

But just as she finished speaking, Nick interjected, "You don\'t need to worry about that. I believe Aron and Anna will agree with Irving\'s current plan. They would want us to leave quickly too. Only by planning for the long term can we come up with a good way to rescue them. The current Elder Lawrence is completely different from before."

When Nick mentioned Elder Lawrence, there was a slight tremor in his voice. It was clear that he was genuinely afraid of Lawrence.

Vicky was puzzled by Nick\'s reaction, but she didn\'t press further. She realized that her understanding of the current situation was limited. So, she decided to follow Irving and the others\' plan.

"In that case, let\'s proceed with your plan. We need to return to the real world, right? Once we\'re back, we can think about how to rescue the others?"

With everyone in agreement, Irving led the group back to the real world. However, the battle in the Desolate Canyon was far from over. The Werewolf God was still engaged in combat with Sophia. Although he had the upper hand, he found it difficult to completely eliminate her. The Werewolf God cornered Sophia, using his strength to push her into a tight spot.

Just when the Werewolf God thought he could finally eliminate Sophia, Elder Lawrence suddenly appeared behind him.

Upon sensing Lawrence\'s presence, the Werewolf God immediately redirected his attack. "I can\'t believe you\'re still alive, you madman! I\'ll make sure you find eternal rest!"

The conflict between the Werewolf God and Elder Lawrence was the most irreconcilable of all. They had previously fought over the power of many werewolves, and now they were contending for the power of the blood moon.

Facing the Werewolf God\'s assault, Lawrence showed no signs of panic. He had indeed acquired formidable dark powers. Even without the blood moon\'s strength, he could still hold his own against the Werewolf God for quite some time, especially with Sophia\'s assistance this time around.

Lawrence looked calmly at the charging Werewolf God and said, "This time, we will definitely settle this once and for all. However, the one who will be eliminated is not me, but you. The power you control is simply too weak."

The Werewolf God obviously disagreed with Lawrence\'s statement. He unleashed a full-force attack. Lawrence easily dodged the Werewolf God\'s strikes and used his dark powers to inflict some damage in return.

"This is impossible! You can\'t possess such powerful strength!" The Werewolf God was baffled by the power Lawrence was wielding.

Lawrence replied coolly, "Just because you think something is impossible doesn\'t mean it is for me. I have far more hidden cards than you could ever imagine."

As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, a surge of dark power erupted from the ground. This dark energy formed a massive abyss that engulfed the Werewolf God entirely.

At this point, Sophia had also regained her composure. She felt ready to rejoin the attack against the Werewolf God. However, Lawrence immediately stopped her.

"Now is not the right time to eliminate the Werewolf God! We must continue to weaken him! Only by diminishing his strength to a certain level can we seize the blood moon power within him."

Lawrence said this with a smile, while the Werewolf God continued to struggle futilely against his restraints.
