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

Vicky turned around and looked at the knowledge fairy with disappointment in her eyes. "Why are you doing this? Do you think locking yourself inside the warehouse will ensure your safety? Don\'t forget, we were in the warehouse before, and the Chaos Entity still found a way to enter!"

"You\'re right! That\'s why, during the previous battle with the Chaos Entity, I reinforced the warehouse\'s defensive magical formations. The warehouse cannot be opened from the outside now," the knowledge fairy replied in a very calm tone.

The knowledge fairy\'s judgment would not be swayed by Vicky\'s words.

Vicky felt extremely anxious at that moment. Just as she was on the verge of tears, Anna spoke up weakly, "Don\'t be too anxious! I believe Irving and Aron will definitely prevail in the end! We must have faith in them!"

Although Anna also felt that the situation was dire, her trust in Aron and Irving was unwavering. She believed that if they couldn\'t solve the current crisis, then no one could.

After Anna said this, the voice of the knowledge fairy came through again. "I hope you can trust what she\'s saying. Staying quiet here is the greatest help you can give to Irving and Aron right now!"

In the end, Vicky was persuaded by Anna and the knowledge fairy.

Meanwhile, the battle outside had reached an intense stage. Both Aron and Irving, as well as Elder Astra and the Chaos Entity, were unleashing their most powerful skills.

A series of devastating abilities created a chaotic battlefield. After casting a multitude of spells, Irving suddenly realized that if he continued using his magic, he would inevitably be affected by the surrounding forces.

"Is this the purpose of the Night Blades? Do they aim to make us suffer from the erosion of chaotic or dark forces during the battle?"

Irving felt slightly bewildered by the current situation.

Irving felt that there wasn\'t much cooperation between Elder Astra and the Chaos Entity. After thinking for a moment, he decided to team up with Aron to launch an attack on Elder Astra. He wanted to see if the Chaos Entity was willing to assist Astra in any way.

Irving didn\'t give Aron a direct command, as he believed their synergy was strong enough. Upon seeing Irving\'s expression, Aron understood his intent. The two of them then joined forces to surround Elder Astra.

The situation unfolded as Irving had anticipated. Under their combined assault, Elder Astra gradually began to be overwhelmed, and the Chaos Entity showed no intention of aiding him. As Astra found himself in a tough battle, he directly shouted to the Chaos Entity, "You have to help me! Do you really think they\'ll let you leave after they eliminate me? Don\'t be so naive!"

In response to Astra\'s plea, the Chaos Entity merely observed. It rotated all the eyes on its body, seemingly contemplating what actions to take next. The Chaos Entity not only wanted to eliminate Irving and Aron but also aimed to take down Elder Astra.

Although Astra had long realized that the Chaos Entity was not the Envoy of Filth, he still intended to use it to his advantage. He never imagined that he would be the first to be attacked.

Under the combined assault of Irving and Aron, Elder Astra\'s strength quickly waned. Even with the help of Dark Portal, Astra could not hold out much longer.

"No matter what, we can defeat a Night Blades elder! That\'s enough for us!" Aron\'s resolve was unwavering at that moment. He had always wanted to see the complete destruction of all Night Blades members, so he naturally put forth all his strength in battle against the elder.

Just as Aron and Irving were about to finish off Elder Astra, the Chaos Entity finally chose to launch an attack against them. A surge of powerful chaotic energy forced Irving and Aron to temporarily retreat.

Astra\'s face showed a look of relief. However, he quickly realized he was now experiencing the erosion of chaotic forces.

"What are you doing? I\'m your ally! Why are you attacking your ally?!" Astra questioned the Chaos Entity.

In response, the Chaos Entity spoke slowly, "You\'ve known for a long time that I am not the Envoy of Filth. The reason you\'ve been playing dumb is that you want to use me! I see through your intentions, so I\'ve devised a new plan."

With that, the Chaos Entity let out a roar.

With that roar, a powerful surge of chaotic energy rapidly spread outwards. Faced with such overwhelming chaotic forces, Irving and Aron had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

"The dark power of the Dark Portal has been temporarily suppressed! Shadow Celestial can no longer monitor your every move, so what we need to do now is to leave this place quickly!" The Chaos Entity spoke to Elder Astra in a very serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Elder Astra\'s face showed an expression of shock. Many speculations raced through his mind. However, he quickly managed to stabilize his emotions. "I understand! Let\'s retreat from the Angel Guild headquarters immediately! But I won\'t leave the Dark Portal here. This item is far too important for us Night Blades!"

The Chaos Entity did not object to Elder Astra taking the Dark Portal. The two of them, under the cover of chaotic forces, retreated from the Angel Guild headquarters.

About five minutes later, Irving and Aron finally returned to their original location. All members of the Night Blades, except for Elder Astra, had been killed by the chaotic forces. Both Astra and the Chaos Entity had vanished.

In this situation, both Irving and Aron were feeling very complex emotions. On one hand, they felt a sense of relief, as they had not been completely wiped out by the enemy in this battle. However, they were also slightly disappointed, as they had not been able to use this opportunity to eliminate Elder Astra of the Night Blades.

"No matter what, we can\'t say we lost this battle. Since our enemies have already left, let\'s clean up the aftermath quickly. We must rescue as many people as possible," Irving immediately formulated a plan for their next actions.

Irving did not rush into the warehouse right away, as he wanted to check on the condition of Benjamin and James. Although Benjamin and James were still in a sealed state, it was evident that they had both broken free from their puppet-like status.

Irving directly lifted the seals on both of them.

"It\'s a relief you ultimately won! I couldn\'t control my body before, which is why I attacked you," Benjamin said, his tone filled with urgency.

James\' expression was equally troubled. Both of them felt a deep sense of guilt for everything that had transpired.

After hearing this, Irving smiled and said, "You can\'t blame yourselves for what happened! You were never a match for Elder Astra! Now, let\'s not dwell on this anymore. Quickly, go help us rescue the others from the Angel Guild."

With that, Irving led Benjamin and James into the headquarters of the Angel Guild. Inside, there were many survivors. Some had been affected by chaotic forces, others by dark powers, and some had simply been severely injured by spells used by Elder Astra earlier.

Rescuing everyone would take a considerable amount of time. After attending to most of the survivors, Irving found himself outside the warehouse door.

"You can open the warehouse door now! The enemies have left!" Irving shouted toward the warehouse.

However, the warehouse door remained closed. Irving felt a twinge of anger. "Are you going to hide in there forever? Don\'t you want the information I have regarding the Dark Overlord? If you don\'t open the warehouse door soon, I won\'t share it with you!"

Just as Irving turned to leave, the warehouse door swung open. The knowledge fairy, now restored to her normal state, appeared before him.

"Don\'t forget, we have a contract. If you breach it, you will face severe consequences!"

"Of course, I wouldn\'t breach the contract! What I just said was merely to get you to open the door!" Irving replied, then turned his gaze toward the interior of the warehouse.

Vicky, eager to rush to Irving\'s side, held back, feeling that she should take care of Anna first. Upon seeing Anna\'s condition, Irving quickly rushed over.

"She has suffered severe erosion from chaotic forces; her faint consciousness is all but gone. If this continues, she will lose her awareness completely in no time," the knowledge fairy explained Anna\'s condition in a calm tone, following closely behind Irving.

Irving frowned, remaining silent. He was deep in thought, contemplating how to help Anna escape the clutches of chaotic powers.
