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

The passage was not long, and soon, Irving, Apocalypse Proclaimer, and Shadow Celestial arrived at the exit. The exit of the passage opened into a massive hall, where a torch burned eternally above. Although the light from the torch was dim, it was enough to illuminate everything within the hall.

In the center of the hall stood a gigantic magical formation, intricately etched with numerous mysterious symbols. This magical formation was capable of destroying dark power.

Upon seeing the magical formation, all three of them sprang into action immediately.Irving attempted to rush directly into the center of the magical formation, but Apocalypse Proclaimer intervened just in time to stop him.

Apocalypse Proclaimer formed a series of barriers using a vast amount of dark power. These barriers connected to each other, creating a maze that trapped Irving inside.

Taking advantage of this moment, Apocalypse Proclaimer shouted loudly to Shadow Celestial, "Now is your chance to destroy the magical formation! Once the magical formation is destroyed, the great Dark Overlord will no longer be threatened. You will then possess all the chaotic power!"

At Apocalypse Proclaimer's urging, Shadow Celestial concentrated all the chaotic power he could muster. Shadow Celestial, having become the embodiment of chaotic power, charged directly at the magical formation.

His actions proved to be very effective.The magical formation sustained heavy damage, and the mysterious symbols began to flicker incessantly. It seemed that the power within the symbols was about to dissipate completely.

"You just need to keep Irving trapped in the maze! I will be able to destroy the magical formation soon!" Shadow Celestial exclaimed, a brilliant smile spreading across his face as he spoke to Apocalypse Proclaimer.

After saying this, Shadow Celestial prepared to launch his next attack. However, unbeknownst to him, a pink light suddenly appeared in the hall. Just as Shadow Celestial released his second attack, this pink light transformed into a twisted werewolf, which howled and charged at Shadow Celestial.

The werewolf had successfully restrained Shadow Celestial! Upon seeing the werewolf, Shadow Celestial immediately understood who had attacked him. "Why are you doing this?! Irving is also your enemy. Why are you helping him fight?!" Shadow Celestial questioned loudly.

The pink light grew increasingly abundant, eventually coalescing into a humanoid form. Sophia appeared before Shadow Celestial. "The Dark Overlord is also my enemy, and the power he possesses is even greater. To combat the Dark Overlord, I must cooperate with Irving." Sophia's response was succinct.

Shadow Celestial was unable to accept this. In his fury, he decided that he would first eliminate Sophia. "Even though I can't absorb the power of the Blood Moon, I will still completely eradicate you," Shadow Celestial declared as he surged toward Sophia, harnessing powerful chaotic energy.

Sophia showed no intention of retreating. Although the hall was quite spacious, if she yielded even a little, Shadow Celestial could launch another attack on the magical formation. If the magical formation were to collapse entirely, Sophia would be doomed. Sophia's resistance bought Irving more time.

Meanwhile, Irving was trapped in the maze formed by dark power, unable to find a way out. "This maze has no exit! The dark power is far too strong, and as time goes on, it will only grow stronger. The Dark Overlord will soon descend! I must quickly find a way out of this maze!" Irving muttered to himself, feeling increasingly anxious.

Just as Irving finished speaking, the voice of Apocalypse Proclaimer echoed through the hall. "Don't be foolish! There's absolutely no way for you to find a way out of this maze! You will be trapped here until the great Dark Overlord arrives! Once the great Overlord descends, you will be utterly killed."

Apocalypse Proclaimer spoke with an air of arrogance, believing his plan had succeeded. Naturally, Irving refused to give up. After a moment of calm reflection, he decided to activate the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl once more. This time, he would hold nothing back. "This is the ruins of the Taikoo Divine Clan. As long as I activate the powerful Taikoo Flame Pearl, I can resonate with the remaining power within the ruins, allowing me to successfully find an exit with its help!"

Having made up his mind, Irving immediately took action. The power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl was fully activated, and the residual energy within the ruins indeed resonated with it. A beam of white light guided Irving toward the exit of the maze.

Apocalypse Proclaimer was taken by surprise, unable to believe that Irving had truly found a way out of the maze. As Irving approached the exit, Apocalypse Proclaimer frantically reacted, attempting to use dark power to make the maze even more complex.

However, his attempt ultimately did not succeed. Irving successfully exited the maze and returned to the deepest hall of the ruins. Apocalypse Proclaimer could only face Irving in a final showdown within the hall.

On the other side of the hall, Sophia was gradually being overwhelmed during the battle. After all, she had not fully regained her optimal state, and the power of the Blood Moon was not a match for chaotic power. The moment Irving saw Sophia, he immediately reacted. Although he knew that Sophia had not yet regained her sanity, at least under the current circumstances, she was his ally.

Irving quickly focused his gaze on Apocalypse Proclaimer. "Since you believe your master will surely descend, then let me see just how much power your master has granted you!" Irving had already activated the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl before this moment. Surrounding Irving was a vast amount of white light.

Using this white light in conjunction with the Staff of Calamity, Irving unleashed an extremely powerful spell. Apocalypse Proclaimer initially intended to withstand Irving's attack.

However, the moment the spell was cast, Apocalypse Proclaimer sensed a tremendous threat and decided to evade temporarily.Apocalypse Proclaimer's speed of evasion was remarkable, but Irving's speed was no slouch either. The clash between the two was intense.

Under Irving's relentless assault, Apocalypse Proclaimer was gradually forced toward the exit of the passage.

"No matter what you do, the great Dark Overlord will undoubtedly descend! Your efforts will surely fail! All of you will be annihilated!"

Despite being at a disadvantage, Apocalypse Proclaimer remained arrogant. Irving paid no attention to his words; he only wished to eliminate him. Apocalypse Proclaimer's power quickly diminished as the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl gradually decomposed the dark energy he wielded.

Just as Apocalypse Proclaimer was on the verge of being killed, Irving suddenly sensed the power of the Abyss.

Apocalypse Proclaimer sensed it too, but he was no longer able to react. The target of the Abyss's power was none other than him. Apocalypse Proclaimer was transformed into a grotesque and terrifying monster. Moments later, Elder Seville emerged from the entrance of the passage.

"You all seem to be gravely wounded. Allow me to handle the cleanup." Elder Seville said with a smile as he looked at the individuals still engaged in battle. At this point, both Shadow Celestial and Sophia had ceased fighting, fully aware that, under the current circumstances, Elder Seville posed the greatest threat to them all.

Shadow Celestial sneered. "Stop boasting! Your power is indeed formidable, but it's not strong enough to defeat all of us. You're just a stray dog expelled from the Night Blades!"

In response to Shadow Celestial's provocation, Elder Seville merely glanced at him dismissively. In that moment, Shadow Celestial felt a powerful force from the Abyss. However, he was not directly destroyed by it, as the powers of chaos he wielded were also quite formidable.

While Shadow Celestial clashed with Elder Seville, Irving seized the fleeting opportunity. Without hesitation, he jumped into the very center of the magical formations, activating them at that instant. The white light surrounding Irving infused into the magical formations. The formations then began to destroy the surrounding dark power using this white light.

Although the magical formations were activated, they did not immediately affect the three combatants in the hall. After all, none of them wielded dark power. Elder Seville possessed the power of the Abyss, Sophia wielded the power of the Blood Moon, and Shadow Celestial commanded the powers of chaos. None of the three intervened against Irving.

Shadow Celestial had no intention of honoring his agreement with Apocalypse Proclaimer, as he realized he had the chance to gain even greater power. Elder Seville and Sophia were both hoping that Irving could stop the Dark Overlord.

As the influence of the magical formations spread, the dark powers within the Shelter Game world were rapidly weakening. This directly caused the elders and ordinary members of the Night Blades to realize that their combat capabilities were dwindling fast. The Night Blades members surrounding Hope Ark were systematically eliminated by Irving's allies, and even those not engaged in the assault on Hope Ark fell into a state of panic.

The vast majority of the Night Blades elders perished due to the rapid decline of dark power, leaving only the last Elder Astra. Elder Astra had managed to survive due to the corruption of the Abyss power, but his current condition was dire.

"What is happening? Has the great Dark Overlord also failed? Can Elder Seville really succeed?" Elder Astra said incredulously.

The decline of dark power accelerated, and Elder Astra felt his soul being gradually stripped away, with the remaining Abyss power continuously devouring him. After an unknown amount of time, Elder Astra suddenly felt his physical state beginning to recover.

When he could once again sense his surroundings, he noticed that the dark power was rapidly increasing. Moreover, he felt an extremely terrifying presence gazing at the world of the Shelter Game."Could this be the gaze of the great Dark Overlord?" Elder Astra murmured to himself.
