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

Chapter 296 Confusion Amidst Chaos

After observing the battle for a while, Aron lowered his voice and spoke to those around him. "I don't think the situation has gone beyond Pu Tian's control, so we don't need to intervene in the fight."

Nick and Anna nodded in agreement. The fact that they didn't have to directly engage in a battle between powerful beings was a relief for them, as it meant they would not have to face tremendous risks.

However, Benjamin was visibly dissatisfied. "Then what's the point of us being here? We might as well have stayed on the outskirts of the battlefield like before, ensuring that no one interfered."

Although Benjamin's words were somewhat harsh, they did hold a degree of truth. Nick and Anna felt they should follow Benjamin's suggestion. But Aron, with a smile, replied, "Is our purpose here solely to eliminate the Werewolf God? Besides taking him down, we also need to rescue our allies!"

The moment Benjamin heard Aron's words, his expression changed dramatically. He suddenly understood what course of action he should take. "You all stay here; I'll go act on my own."

With that, Benjamin quickly departed. Nick and Anna were taken aback, and Anna even intended to stop Benjamin from leaving. However, Aron directly intervened to prevent her.

"You don't need to stop him! What he's about to do is rescue Vicky. If he succeeds, our plan will achieve complete victory. If he doesn't, it's not the end of the world. All the strong members of the Night Blades are trapped around the battlefield. Elder Howard must deal with Elder Lawrence's challenge, and Howard's trusted aides will undoubtedly assist him."

Aron's analysis finally made sense to Anna and Nick. "So, are we just going to watch the battle unfold? Can't we provide some help to Irving like Benjamin is doing?"

Nick asked, somewhat naively. Aron slowly shook his head. "We can't take any action right now because we mustn't disrupt the balance on the battlefield. After all, the Night Blades can still provide us with some assistance. The magical formations they are maintaining are capable of restraining the Werewolf God's power.

Until the Werewolf God is completely defeated, we cannot afford to turn against the Night Blades."

Aron's words calmed Nick and Anna down. They decided to continue observing the battle closely.

In the center of the battlefield, the Werewolf God easily blocked the combined attacks of Irving and Sophia. To the Werewolf God, it was utterly incomprehensible that Sophia, as a werewolf, dared to strike against him.

"Aren't you a werewolf? As one of your kind, you should obey my commands! What method did you use to evade my orders?" the Werewolf God questioned Sophia amid the battle.

Sophia naturally offered no response. Instead, she continuously used her agility to disrupt the Werewolf God's judgment, creating opportunities for Irving to strike him down.

Although Irving sensed something was off with Sophia, he believed she was coordinating with him, which meant she was his ally. Therefore, he didn't feel the need to focus too much on her peculiar behavior during the fight.

Irving unleashed powerful spells one after another. While these spells couldn't swiftly eliminate the Werewolf God, they were sufficient to gradually weaken him. Under Irving's relentless pressure, the Werewolf God had to rely increasingly on the powerful abilities granted by the Blood Moon.

Though the Blood Moon's power was formidable for werewolves, its continued use began to take a toll on the Werewolf God. His rationality diminished with each passing moment. In the ensuing battle, he could no longer think clearly and was forced to rely on instinct to try to win.

On the other side of the battlefield, the clash between Elder Howard and Elder Lawrence appeared abstract. Neither side showcased any flashy skills, nor did they engage in direct confrontations. Instead, they were locked in a constant struggle for control over dark powers.

For the two Night Blades elders, the one who could harness more dark power would emerge victorious in the battle ahead.

"You have betrayed the Night Blades. Even if you defeat me, the others will not spare you! If you truly wish to return to the Night Blades, you must cooperate with me. I can say a few good words on your behalf. Perhaps then you could gain the forgiveness of the other elders.

Once you return to the Night Blades, you won't have to face the same crises as before," Elder Howard urged, hoping to persuade Elder Lawrence to join his side.

In Howard's view, if Lawrence could be swayed to his allegiance, the power of the Night Blades would no longer be sufficient to control the overall situation.

Upon hearing Elder Howard's words, Elder Lawrence let out a cold laugh. "You can't possibly believe I want to return to the Night Blades, can you? The Night Blades are a failed organization! They cannot defeat Irving, nor can they truly master the power of darkness. I no longer need their assistance; I can control the dark power on my own.

And in my quest for that power, you will be the first one to be eliminated!"

After saying this, Elder Lawrence transformed into a cloud of black mist and charged toward Elder Howard. At this moment, Elder Howard was already prepared for the final showdown. The two had just concluded their struggle for control over the dark powers. Both had gained immense strength, and now it was time for the ultimate battle.

Whoever emerged victorious would completely devour the other's dark power.

Meanwhile, the ordinary members of the Night Blades were tirelessly activating the pre-prepared magical formations. These formations provided continuous support to Elder Howard during the fight. However, the support from these magical formations wasn't particularly significant, as their inherent power was not very strong.

Elder Howard's trusted aides were deeply concerned about the chaos erupting in the battle. They continuously urged the other Night Blades members to take action quickly. "Stop wasting time! If we fail in this battle, none of us will be able to leave here safely! You must accelerate your movements!"

Under the pressure from Elder Howard's aides, the Night Blades members began constructing new magical formations one after another. Everyone recognized the importance of this battle, so they focused all their attention on it. In this situation, the number of guards watching over Vicky became significantly fewer.

Seizing the opportunity, Benjamin successfully made his way to Vicky's side. "President, are you okay? If you can hear me, please react," he whispered, avoiding the Night Blades' guards. However, he couldn't directly take Vicky with him.

In her daze, Vicky heard Benjamin's words and nodded weakly. "Since you can hear me, I will update you on the situation. Irving is about to win the battle. Once he succeeds, we will be able to rescue you."

Although Benjamin desperately wanted to be the one to save Vicky, he knew he was not capable of doing so. Moreover, given the current circumstances, he had to keep his presence hidden.

If he were discovered by the Night Blades members, Vicky would be in even greater danger. The battle had dragged on for a long time, and both Irving and Sophia were starting to feel fatigued. Although the Werewolf God had completely lost his rationality under their combined attacks, his frenzied state made him even more powerful than before.

Irving sighed slightly, acknowledging the situation. "It seems our plan has encountered significant problems. Do you think we can continue fighting? If you believe we can't go on, then we should retreat for now."

Irving was eager to know Sophia's true thoughts, but she merely stared in the direction of the Werewolf God without responding.

"Is your unusual behavior becoming too severe? Don't you want to communicate with me? Or do you not see me as your ally at all?" Irving pressed further, but Sophia remained silent.

As Irving grew increasingly confused, the Werewolf God charged at him with overwhelming force. With no other choice, Irving had to counter the Werewolf God's attack. Sophia didn't just stand by; she also provided assistance to Irving. This only deepened his confusion, as he truly could not understand what Sophia was thinking. Did she really lose her rationality?

While the three were battling, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield. After a flash of light, Elder Howard materialized before Aron and the others.

"What are you still doing here, watching the battle? Don't you realize we're at a critical moment? You must enter the battlefield immediately and assist Irving!"

Upon hearing this, Aron did not take immediate action. Instead, he replied coolly, "Then why don't you help Irving? Your power is greater than ours. If you take action, he could achieve victory swiftly."

A smile crept across Elder Howard's face. "You're still as hard to deceive as before. However, this time I won't let you escape like you did in Shadow City. I will eliminate all of you."

After finishing this statement, Elder Howard swiftly transformed into the likeness of Elder Lawrence. Enjoy exclusive content from m-v l'-NovelBin.net
