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

In the silent battlefield, Benjamin and Nick continuously used their powers and available items to delay the encroachment of the dark forces. Although their efforts achieved some success, their situation was becoming increasingly dire.

Surrounding them were members of the various families of Starling City who had allied with the Night Blades and Apocalypse Proclaimer, continuously converting their own powers into dark energy.

As the dark forces gradually increased, the level of quiet on the battlefield intensified, to the point where Nick and Benjamin could hardly feel their own heartbeats.

At that moment, the previously clear sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds.

The dark forces were dramatically amplified in that instant, plunging Nick and Benjamin into despair. The original dark power was already overwhelming for them, and with this newfound strength, they believed they could not hold out much longer.

The thoughts of the Starling City family members surrounding the battlefield mirrored those of Benjamin and Nick. They, too, believed victory was imminent. A few even wore triumphant smiles on their faces.@@novelbin@@

However, their smiles did not last long, as a tremendous explosion suddenly echoed across the quiet battlefield.After the explosion, Irving appeared before everyone, wielding a staff and sporting a fierce expression. His arrival sent the members of the various families into a state of panic.

Everyone knew that Irving was far stronger than they were, and some members of the families immediately contemplated fleeing.Yet among these family members, there were a few who were more astute.

They understood that, given the current situation, choosing to run away would be extremely foolish. They decided to use the amplified dark powers to confront Irving.

"Do not flee! The dark forces have significantly strengthened; we can use this dark energy to trap Irving!" commanded one of the stronger individuals among them.

With this directive, the members of the families finally calmed down, beginning to manipulate the dark powers at their disposal to launch an attack on Irving.

Naturally, Irving looked down on their attempts to assault him. At that moment, he was surrounded by a vast amount of white light. He transformed this white light into a series of sharp blades, launching them towards the members of the various families.

Meanwhile, Irving directly used the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl to completely dispel the dark forces surrounding Benjamin and Nick.

Finally freed from the control of the dark energy, Benjamin and Nick exchanged glances with Irving before preparing to launch their attack on the enemy.

"This battle is meaningless! The apocalypse is about to arrive, and everyone must get to the Hope Ark immediately! You two need to start the actions we discussed earlier!" Irving quickly instructed Benjamin and Nick.

Both Benjamin and Nick looked somewhat shocked, but they could sense the dark forces were strengthening at an alarming rate.

"What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and act! We don't have much time left!" Irving, slightly dissatisfied with their delay, urged them once more.

At that moment, Benjamin and Nick finally snapped into action. The three of them swiftly left the battlefield, with Nick and Irving setting out to find Anna and then returning to the Angel Guild headquarters to ensure all members successfully evacuated to the Hope Ark. Benjamin, on the other hand, chose to head back to the Ocean Group headquarters, where the members needed his command.

Not long after the three left the battlefield, the Apocalypse Proclaimer arrived. He surveyed the situation and could guess that the family members of Starling City would not be able to stop Irving, but he still felt a twinge of disappointment.

As the Apocalypse Proclaimer silently observed the battlefield, a member of one of the Starling City families approached him, wearing a fawning expression.

"We successfully repelled Irving! We accomplished the task you assigned to us!" the family member said eagerly.

The Apocalypse Proclaimer looked at the individual, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his previously expressionless face. "You are correct; you did complete the task I gave you. You performed quite well, and I have no further tasks for you. Therefore, you are of no use to me now."

Hearing these words, panic quickly spread across the faces of the Starling City family members. "What do you mean by that?"

"My meaning is simple: the apocalypse is imminent, and you will definitely not withstand the first wave of its impact. So, it would be better for you to surrender your powers to me now."

As soon as the Apocalypse Proclaimer's words fell, the dark forces surrounding the battlefield swiftly killed all the members of the Starling City families. The powers they had used transformed entirely into dark energy, converging upon the Apocalypse Proclaimer.He lifted his gaze towards the sky. At this moment, the sky was completely shrouded in darkness, devoid of any light.

"The great sovereign is about to arrive. Although I was unable to successfully stop Irving, I have disrupted his plans. I should not feel discouraged; I still have much more to accomplish!" The Apocalypse Proclaimer opened a portal to the Shelter Game world, deciding to head there. There were many tasks awaiting him in that realm.

As the Apocalypse Proclaimer made his way to the Shelter Game world, Irving, Anna, and Vicky finally arrived at the headquarters of the Angel Guild. Anna struggled to maintain her composure as she quickly issued orders to the members of the Angel Guild.

"Attention all Angel Guild members! Attention all Angel Guild members! The apocalypse is imminent! The apocalypse is imminent! Execute Plan One immediately! Execute Plan One immediately!"

The Plan One Anna mentioned was, of course, the plan to head to the Hope Ark. Furthermore, Plan One was the highest-level plan within the Angel Guild, so upon hearing Anna's orders, all members quickly sprang into action.

"What should we do next? Has anyone informed James?" After issuing her orders, Anna turned to Irving, a hint of anxiety creeping into her voice.

Irving nodded in response. "Benjamin will be responsible for notifying James! Moreover, James has just informed me that he has already taken action!"

At this point, Irving turned his gaze towards Vicky.

"You two shouldn't stay here any longer. Hurry to the Hope Ark! I can command from the Angel Guild headquarters."

Irving felt that Anna and Vicky would encounter significant danger if they stayed, so he hoped they would quickly reach the safety of the Hope Ark. Anna and Vicky did not say anything further; both understood the gravity of the situation. They could not afford to waste any more time.

"Understood. We will head to the Hope Ark immediately," Anna said, preparing to leave with Vicky.

Just then, Irving's voice came through once more. "I almost forgot an important matter—Wendy is still at my home! Please bring Wendy to the Hope Ark as well!"

Anna turned back to look at Irving and nodded solemnly. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

After Anna and Vicky left, Irving focused all his attention on coordinating and directing his companions. The evacuation of the Angel Guild members proceeded swiftly. In less than half an hour, nearly all members of the Angel Guild had arrived at the Hope Ark.

However, the pace of action from James and Benjamin was somewhat slower.

"It seems I must go personally to assist them! The evacuation here at the Angel Guild is complete, but before I leave the headquarters, I should perhaps have one more meeting with the Knowledge Fairy."

After making his decision, Irving headed straight to the innermost part of the Angel Guild headquarters.

The warehouse door at the innermost part of the Angel Guild headquarters was now wide open. Most of the items within the warehouse had already been taken, with some left behind due to their overly negative effects, while others were deemed useless.

As Irving arrived, the Knowledge Fairy appeared directly in front of him. "The apocalypse is about to arrive. You and your companions should have found a safe place by now," she said, her tone somewhat relaxed.

"Aren't you worried about the coming apocalypse? Once the Dark Overlord descends, everything will be destroyed—even you," Irving replied, slightly curious.

The Knowledge Fairy smiled. "Do you really think you can gather more information this way? The Dark Overlord will indeed destroy everything, but I am a mythical being. In a sense, I am the embodiment of knowledge. The Dark Overlord cannot destroy knowledge itself. So all I need to do is survive the first wave of the apocalypse."

After hearing the Knowledge Fairy's words, Irving intended to suggest that she take refuge in the Hope Ark. However, before he could speak, the Knowledge Fairy cut him off. "I can ensure my own safety; you don't need to worry about me. You should be more concerned about your companions and the other humans. The human world is already on the brink of collapse."

The Knowledge Fairy gave Irving a final piece of advice before she transformed into a stream of information and vanished. Irving understood all too well that what she said was true. The human world was indeed teetering on the edge of collapse.

All the players in the Shelter Game had been frightened by the anomalies occurring in the real world. Almost everyone felt the oppressive weight of despair that often precedes an apocalypse. Ordinary people, though unaware of the imminent doom, could sense that something terrible was about to happen just by looking at the darkened sky.

The order of the human world had spiraled out of control, with both the City of Warding and Starling City plunged into a state of lawlessness and chaos. Irving sighed; he truly wished to help ordinary people. However, the current situation was so dire that he found it impossible to offer any assistance.

Taking one last look at the deepest part of the Angel Guild headquarters' warehouse, Irving then made his way to the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company.
