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

Upon realizing he could no longer move quickly, the Envoy of Filth's expression turned extremely serious. As Aron charged toward him, he could only push both hands forward, using the remaining chaotic energy to form a barrier.

The massive long sword, glowing with an orange-yellow light, collided directly with this barrier. Although the barrier was quite strong, the moment it came into contact with the orange-yellow light, its strength began to rapidly diminish. The Envoy of Filth's face reflected sheer shock. He never expected that his strongest defensive skill could be so quickly weakened.

With no way to escape using skills, the Envoy of Filth had no choice but to continue moving deeper into the Angel Guild headquarters. The barrier made of chaotic energy soon collapsed entirely. Aron did not immediately pursue him; at this moment, he was also affected by the weapon he wielded.

The orange-yellow sword could indeed rapidly weaken an enemy's power, but it also impacted the person using it. Aron felt his movement speed was not as agile as before. It seemed that a part of his life force had been drained by the sword radiating that orange-yellow glow.

Watching the fleeing Envoy of Filth, Aron sighed, "It seems this weapon is powerful, but the side effects are significant as well. I can't continue to chase after him with this weapon; I hope the others will be able to play their part."

Although Aron did not plan to pursue any further, he would certainly remain vigilant at this location. Within the depths of the Angel Guild headquarters, other members had their own duties to fulfill.

After making some progress within the headquarters, the Envoy of Filth had nearly exhausted all of his stamina. He collapsed in front of a large door, gasping for breath. "It appears you are not as strong as I imagined. Our defensive strategy seems somewhat excessive," a voice emerged from the shadows.

Nick's voice echoed as he stepped into the light, smiling and holding up a mirror within the Envoy of Filth's line of sight. This mirror was another powerful weapon belonging to the Angel Guild. It had the ability to reflect all enemy attacks. Additionally, when an enemy was fully captured in its reflection, their soul would gradually be drawn into the mirror.

Inside the mirror was a terrifying, bizarre space composed entirely of souls.

Upon seeing the mirror, the Envoy of Filth immediately recognized its immense power. However, he was completely exhausted and had no means to continue fighting Nick. He hurriedly called out to Nick, "Don't kill me! I can be of great use to you! I can tell you many secrets about the Night Blades!"

Upon hearing this, Nick paused. Although he didn't truly believe the Envoy, he felt he couldn't make a decision on his own. Despite his considerable strength, he had joined the Angel Guild relatively late. Only Aron and Anna had the authority to make crucial decisions in situations like this.

After a moment of hesitation, Nick threw the mirror directly at the Envoy of Filth. The Envoy's face turned to one of sheer terror. He couldn't understand why Nick would do this; he thought that since he was willing to help, he should be spared.

As the mirror struck the Envoy of Filth, he was promptly sucked into it. "I truly do not intend to kill you! However, to ensure that you cannot pose any further threats to us, I must confine you within this mirror. Now, I can take you to Aron and Anna. They will decide whether we need the information you provide," Nick said with a smile, addressing the mirror.

He then quickly made his way towards Anna's location, carrying the mirror with him.

Meanwhile, Irving had arrived near the Ocean Group headquarters via an underground passage. He believed that if his own home had been attacked, the place where his allies resided would surely be targeted as well. The first person he thought of was Vicky, which is why he rushed to the Ocean Group headquarters.

At that moment, the atmosphere around the Ocean Group headquarters was eerily calm. Several members of the security department were patrolling the perimeter. These patrolling members were actually players from the shelter game, equipped with some weapons and items. However, their individual strength was not particularly high.

Upon spotting Irving, the patrolling members grew slightly tense. Benjamin had warned them that unusual circumstances would arise during this period.

"Stand right there and don't move! Don't come any closer! Who are you? Who sent you here? Do you have an appointment?" One of the security members pointed their weapon directly at Irving.

Irving was not in the best of moods, so his response was somewhat impatient.

"I'm here to see your president. My name is Irving. Haven't you heard of me?"

Upon hearing the name Irving, the members of the security department appeared slightly flustered.

"Of course we've heard of you! However, we cannot verify your identity right now. We'll call our manager over immediately." One of the security members quickly pulled out his communicator.

Although Irving was somewhat annoyed, he refrained from taking any rash actions. After all, he had just recently reminded Benjamin to ensure the defenses around the Ocean Group headquarters were strong.

A few minutes later, Benjamin appeared in Irving's line of sight.

"You can go patrol elsewhere!" Benjamin instructed, dismissing the security members.

Irving, with a stoic expression, asked, "Has anything strange happened here today?"

Benjamin shook his head. "Nothing unusual at all! Why? Did you encounter some danger? Did the Night Blades attack?"

In response to Benjamin's inquiry, Irving simply nodded in silence.

"If nothing happened here, that puts my mind at ease. You continue to defend the Ocean Group headquarters—make sure Vicky is safe at all costs. I'm heading to the Angel Guild headquarters! I believe they must have been attacked too, since the Night Blades wouldn't just target me!"

After saying this, Irving quickly left.

Benjamin remained in place, his expression slightly hesitant. He felt the situation was very complicated. The information he had received left him unable to make a judgment call, and he wasn't sure whether he should share this news with Vicky.

After pondering for a moment, Benjamin ultimately decided to relay all the information he knew to Vicky.

When Vicky learned about the situation, her expression turned slightly anxious. However, she also understood that she wouldn't be able to provide much help to Irving in the face of a Night Blades attack.

Clearing her throat, Vicky said to Benjamin, "Since Irving has given the orders, just follow his commands. Let's not complicate things for him by going elsewhere."

Vicky ultimately decided to rely on the Ocean Group's own strength to ensure the safety of the headquarters.

While Irving and the others were on the move, Elder Astra was quietly observing everything from a concealed location. He felt that his plan had been somewhat successful. Although the Envoy of Filth hadn't been able to cause significant damage to the Angel Guild headquarters, Elder Astra believed the Envoy still had other cards up his sleeve.

"Regardless, my plan has achieved a certain level of success," Elder Astra muttered to himself with a smile.

Just as his words fell, the Dark Portal beside him began to change anomalously. A figure gradually emerged from the portal, revealing none other than Shadow Celestial.

"Has your plan truly succeeded?" Shadow Celestial's voice emanated directly from the Dark Portal.

Upon hearing this voice, Elder Astra's expression swiftly changed. He hadn't expected Shadow Celestial to contact him through the Dark Portal. However, Elder Astra was quick to regain his composure.

"I have achieved partial success! I managed to defeat Irving! Although I couldn't eliminate him, he shouldn't pose any threat to us for the time being."

In response to Elder Astra's answer, Shadow Celestial didn't elaborate further. He simply asked, "What about the Envoy of Filth? He should be trapped in some special space now. I hope you can rescue him quickly. After all, your upcoming actions still need his assistance."

Shadow Celestial issued the command directly. Elder Astra had no grounds to oppose it, so he replied, "No problem! I will rescue the Envoy of Filth as soon as possible! However, I believe my actions may not succeed quickly. The Envoy of Filth was previously attacking the Angel Guild headquarters. The special space trapping him should also be within the Angel Guild headquarters. Their defenses are extremely tight, and I would find it nearly impossible to force my way in."

In response to Elder Astra's comments, Shadow Celestial merely said, "You can utilize the power of the Dark Portal! The immense power contained within the Dark Portal is beyond your imagination. The power you previously used from the Dark Portal was merely a trivial fraction of what it truly holds."

After saying this, Shadow Celestial's figure quickly dissipated.

Elder Astra did not immediately take further action; he needed to ensure that Shadow Celestial had completely departed. He certainly did not want his subsequent actions to reveal his true intentions.
