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

As Irving and the Knowledge Fairy approached the mysterious passage, just one step away, a brilliant white light suddenly erupted from its entrance.

In that instant, both Irving and the Knowledge Fairy reacted immediately. The two of them quickly retreated a considerable distance using different methods.

Accompanied by the dazzling white light, a multitude of monsters surged forth from the mysterious passage. These monsters were formed from different powers, which meant they could not be defeated using the same method.

At that moment, Irving and the Knowledge Fairy assessed the general situation. The two quickly reached a consensus.

"I'll take care of the monsters with dark powers! You handle the ones with chaotic powers!" Irving said quickly to the Knowledge Fairy.

The Knowledge Fairy nodded in agreement. Being particularly skilled at combating monsters with chaotic powers, the Knowledge Fairy had no reason to refuse Irving's suggestion.

The Knowledge Fairy swiftly transformed into a massive spellbook. The book opened quickly, and countless mysterious symbols flew out from its rapidly turning pages. These symbols morphed into various spells.

A multitude of spells shot toward the monsters. All these spells were highly effective against chaotic powers. When the monsters with chaotic powers encountered these spells, they would feel an overwhelming suppression.

The spells used by the Knowledge Fairy at this stage would not completely eliminate all the monsters with chaotic powers. Instead, the Knowledge Fairy aimed merely to suppress them. This was because the Knowledge Fairy felt that the number of monsters was simply too great. If the goal were to eliminate the monsters entirely, some would undoubtedly evade the attacks.

Meanwhile, Irving also grasped the Staff of Calamity. His thoughts aligned completely with those of the Knowledge Fairy. He too did not intend to kill all the monsters with dark powers directly.

Irving unleashed powerful light spells using his staff. These light spells created a significant suppression effect on the monsters that possessed dark powers.

With the cooperation of Irving and the Knowledge Fairy, they quickly managed to suppress all the monsters near the entrance of the mysterious passage.

"You can gradually eliminate the monsters with dark powers! I'll be responsible for suppressing the others!" the voice of the Knowledge Fairy came through.

After the two had controlled the situation, the Knowledge Fairy felt it was time to quickly begin the process of eliminating all the monsters.

Irving nodded. He threw his staff directly into the air, and as it flew, he summoned the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl.

A silver-white barrier formed around Irving's body, which then transformed into a humanoid figure that flew alongside the staff. When the staff came into contact with the nearest monster possessing dark powers, the humanoid figure created by the silver-white barrier merged with the staff.

A massive shadow resembling Irving lifted the staff and slammed it down heavily toward the monsters. With a violent surge of energy, approximately half of the monsters with dark powers were eliminated by Irving.

Upon witnessing this, the Knowledge Fairy couldn't help but praise Irving. "It seems your combat power has become even stronger than before! I remember you weren't able to eliminate so many monsters with a single strike previously, right?"

Irving nodded. He could certainly tell that the Knowledge Fairy was testing him. However, given the current situation, they were allies, so Irving felt he needed to respond to his ally's question.

"I'll be able to eliminate all the monsters with dark powers shortly! Get ready for battle. I'll handle the task of suppressing the other monsters; you focus on eliminating those with chaotic powers."

As the number of monsters with dark powers rapidly decreased, Irving felt they could proceed to the next phase of their plan. The Knowledge Fairy did not express any objections.

"I understand! I will prepare for battle immediately! I will show you the best way to eliminate chaotic powers!" the Knowledge Fairy stated plainly.

As it spoke, its form began to change. The massive spellbook gradually transformed into a gigantic eye radiating blue light, surrounded by a myriad of complex, mysterious symbols.

In the very center of the blue eye, numerous mysterious symbols coalesced into a book that seemed to possess infinite knowledge. At the moment the book formed, the enormous eye suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light forward. Within this brilliant blue light was a wealth of knowledge.

Irving was slightly taken aback when he saw the Knowledge Fairy's method of attack. He had never witnessed such an offensive approach before.

Irving hoped to quickly understand the principle behind the Knowledge Fairy's method of attack. Although he was very eager to grasp how the Knowledge Fairy's attacks worked, at this moment, he needed to focus on eliminating the remaining monsters.

Irving used his powers to suppress all the monsters, while the Knowledge Fairy gradually eliminated those with chaotic powers using its unique attack method. Although both were very serious, their speed of action was not particularly fast. This was because the monsters seemed to be able to draw power from the mysterious passage.

Both Irving and the Knowledge Fairy felt considerable pressure, but they remained calm. Their current plan was not being hindered in any way.

"We probably need about another fifteen minutes to eliminate all the monsters! I believe that once we finish off the monsters, we won't encounter too many difficulties within the mysterious passage. The power from the mysterious passage should have been fully provided to these monsters. If the mysterious passage didn't supply these monsters with extra power, they wouldn't be able to hold out for this long," Irving said as he slowly articulated his judgment.

The Knowledge Fairy naturally agreed with Irving's assessment. "You're right. So I want to remind you not to forget your promise to me! After this operation, you must take me to the outskirts of the City of Warding."

The Knowledge Fairy was very afraid that Irving might backtrack on his promise. However, its concerns were somewhat unfounded. Irving had no intention of going back on this matter. He had always hoped to win over the Knowledge Fairy. If he reneged on this deal, he would never be able to convince the Knowledge Fairy to fully ally with him.

"Don't worry! I will definitely keep my promise. As long as we handle this matter well, I will take you to the outskirts of the City of Warding," Irving reiterated his commitment.

Irving's words finally eased the Knowledge Fairy's mind. With that, Irving and the Knowledge Fairy focused their energies on swiftly eliminating the monsters before them.

At the same time, outside the city bank, a portal suddenly opened. Elder Seville and Shadow Celestial stepped through the portal and arrived in the real world. While Irving and the Knowledge Fairy were taking action, Shadow Celestial had finally persuaded Elder Seville. Their mission this time was to make a direct strike against the headquarters of the Angel Guild.

Both of them knew that it was unlikely they would be able to completely destroy the Angel Guild headquarters with this operation. Therefore, their goal this time was to damage the headquarters and seize as many valuable weapons and items from it as possible.

"It seems there aren't very tight defenses around the Angel Guild headquarters," Elder Seville said slowly after surveying the surroundings.

Shadow Celestial also noticed this situation but felt that they should not let their guard down. "Even if the defenses around the Angel Guild headquarters aren't very tight, Irving will quickly come to provide support once we make our move! We must be extremely cautious when facing him in battle."

In response to Shadow Celestial's warning, Elder Seville simply nodded slowly. "In any case, since we've come this far, we shouldn't waste any more time! If you don't plan to make the first move, then let me take that opportunity."

Elder Seville walked onto a platform from where he could see the entire situation at the Angel Guild headquarters. He extended his hands, looking at them intently, and in that moment, a black sphere began to form between his palms.

The black sphere contained a powerful force that also exuded an aura of corruption.

"Is that the power of the Abyss?" Shadow Celestial asked curiously, observing the scene.

Elder Seville replied, "You're correct; this is the power of the Abyss! Normally, the power of the Abyss cannot reach the real world. Even if I bring it here in some way, it dissipates very quickly. So our next actions must be swift!"

Elder Seville already had a concrete plan in mind. He decided to use the power of the Abyss to quickly destroy the Angel Guild headquarters. This way, when Irving arrived to provide support, he and Shadow Celestial could focus entirely on dealing with him without worrying about attacks from the members of the Angel Guild.

Although the power of the Abyss would dissipate quickly, the fading energy would still provide some assistance to Elder Seville. As the power of the Abyss intensified, the black sphere in Elder Seville's hands grew larger and larger.

Feeling that he had summoned enough powerful energy from the Abyss, Elder Seville decided it was time to launch a direct attack on the Angel Guild headquarters. However, at that moment, he suddenly sensed a powerful surge of chaotic energy.

Elder Seville's gaze turned toward the city bank building. He changed his mind, believing he had discovered the treasure that Shadow Celestial had mentioned, hidden away by the Smith family. That powerful chaotic energy was the very treasure the Smith family had concealed.

Elder Seville resolved to go after the treasure first.
