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

With Irving's awakening, his companions could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're finally awake! I thought I wouldn't be able to wake you up!" Vicky was the first to react; she immediately threw herself onto Irving and spoke with a quivering voice.

Irving didn't say much; he simply smiled and gently patted Vicky on the head.

"There's no need to worry! I will definitely wake up! Because you are the person I care about the most, I would never leave you behind."

Irving's words deeply touched Vicky.

She wanted to say more, but she couldn't get any words out. The moment she opened her mouth, tears would inevitably follow.

"Stop crying! I'm awake now, aren't I? Shouldn't you be happy for me?" Irving said with a smile and a gentle tone.

Vicky nodded, but her expression still showed a hint of sadness. She was just managing to hold back her tears.

With the help of Benjamin and James, Irving slowly stood up.

"My body is still a bit weak. I won't be able to fight again in the short term. So over the next few days, you all must take on the primary responsibility of defense."

Irving looked at Benjamin, James, and Aron as he spoke.

The three nodded almost in unison.

They all understood that they needed to shoulder the burden of defense while Irving was not yet fully recovered.

"What's the status of the blood moon power? Have we managed to completely seal Sophia and the blood moon power she possesses?"

After addressing the most urgent matters, Irving began to show concern for Sophia and the blood moon power.

After all, the greatest crisis they had faced was caused by Sophia and the blood moon power.

Upon hearing Irving's question, Aron quickly replied, "Our previous efforts were very effective. Sophia and her blood moon power have been completely sealed. However, I think the seal seems a bit unstable. We should further reinforce it."

In response to Aron's statement, Irving didn't say much.

He simply hoped to go see it for himself as soon as possible.

In Irving's view, Aron and the others could not have a deeper understanding of the seal than he did. Only he could determine whether there would be any issues with the seal in the future.

"I think I should go take a look myself. Hurry and take me there. If there really are problems with the seal, we must reinforce it."

At Irving's direct command, Aron and the others took him to the entrance of the Angel Guild headquarters.

The entrance to the Angel Guild headquarters had been completely destroyed during the previous battle. The buildings surrounding the entrance had also turned into ruins.

Amidst the debris, a pink-glowing sphere floated in midair. Inside this sphere, Sophia had her eyes tightly closed, seemingly in a state of slumber.

Although the seal had been successful, some pink light managed to seep through the seal. This pink light clearly represented the power of the blood moon.

When Irving saw this scene, a look of concern crossed his face.

"You're right; the seal is indeed not strong enough. We need to reinforce it immediately! Moreover, we must move Sophia to a safer location. Leaving Sophia and the seal here will only expose the City of Warding to greater threats."

Irving had much to consider. Not only did he need to reinforce the seal, but he also hoped to relocate Sophia and the seal to an area less prone to issues.

Naturally, Aron and the others did not oppose Irving's suggestion.

"So, what should we do next? How can we reinforce the seal?" James asked Irving, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"The spellbook I obtained from the Knowledge Fairy is still with you, right? Bring it over. The spellbook contains spells that can reinforce the seal."

Upon hearing Irving's words, James quickly retrieved the spellbook.

Irving opened the spellbook in front of everyone.

He then began to cast spells recorded in the book, aside from the sealing spells.

One by one, the spells flew toward the seal under Irving's control.

A look of pain appeared on Sophia's face within the sphere.

It seemed she sensed that the seal was gradually strengthening, prompting her to use the power of the blood moon to fight back.

The pink glow emanating from the sphere intensified.

This, of course, meant that the power of the blood moon was becoming stronger.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Irving coughed twice.

Concerned expressions filled the faces of those around him, as they felt Irving's condition had worsened significantly.

"Are you okay? If you really can't keep going, you can leave the reinforcement of the seal to me! I can ensure that the seal will be successfully reinforced!" Aron stepped forward at that moment.

In Aron's view, he was the strongest person after Irving. If Irving was unable to reinforce the seal due to his physical condition, it was only right for him to take on the corresponding responsibility.

Irving slowly shook his head. "You won't be able to use those spells. Besides, my condition isn't bad enough for that. I can continue to reinforce the seal; it will just take me a bit longer."

Since Irving had said this, the others naturally didn't press the matter further.

Everyone watched Irving as he successfully reinforced the seal with one spell after another.

After casting the last spell, the sphere floating in midair completely turned white. This meant that no blood moon power could seep through the seal.

When everyone saw this, they let out a collective sigh of relief.

"What should we do next? Didn't you say we needed to move Sophia to a safer location?" Benjamin asked Irving at that moment.

Irving nodded. "Although the seal has been reinforced, we can't stay here around the seal indefinitely. We need to place the seal in a safer location. Do you all remember the old headquarters of the Angel Guild? I think moving the seal there would be very reasonable. The old headquarters itself has the ability to contain special powers. With the added reinforcement we've completed, it would be impossible for Sophia and the blood moon power to break through such a strong seal."

Irving laid out his plan directly.

When the others heard Irving's plan, their expressions didn't change much, except for the members of the Angel Guild. They felt that Irving's strategy was indeed very reasonable.

They also believed that the old headquarters of the Angel Guild likely had no other use, so the members of the Angel Guild wouldn't oppose it either.

However, the expressions of the Angel Guild members became more complex.

Anna didn't know what to say; she simply turned her gaze toward Aron.

Aron felt slightly troubled at that moment.

He hadn't anticipated that Irving's plan would involve placing the seal at the old headquarters of the Angel Guild.

Although Irving had previously visited the old headquarters, his understanding of it was not very deep.

There were still some things of great importance to the members of the Angel Guild inside the old headquarters.

After hesitating for a moment, Aron slowly spoke up. "I think putting the seal at the old headquarters of the Angel Guild might be a bit risky. There are things there that you may not know about. If Sophia teams up with those things, we could encounter even greater trouble."

Aron didn't express his thoughts very clearly. In fact, he didn't even know what terrifying entities might be lurking in the old headquarters of the Angel Guild.

Aron only knew that previous leaders of the Angel Guild had been very secretive about the situation at the old headquarters. All the important members of the Angel Guild believed that there were indeed very terrifying things present in the old headquarters.

Aron's words surprised everyone slightly.

Irving slowly turned his gaze toward Aron.

He certainly understood what Aron was referring to.

When Irving had visited the old headquarters of the Angel Guild, he had encountered powerful adversaries that he couldn't defeat. It seemed that these formidable entities took a particular interest in Irving, as if they saw something in him.

That was precisely why Irving wanted to move the seal there. He wanted to see if the power of the blood moon could have any effect on those powerful beings within the old headquarters.

With a smile, Irving addressed Aron. "I know what you're worried about. You must think that the old headquarters of the Angel Guild can't successfully seal the blood moon's power. But I hope you won't worry too much. I believe that the seals present in the old headquarters are indeed very strong."

Irving's words didn't reveal any useful information.

The expressions on Aron and Anna's faces grew even more difficult.

"If you're really concerned, then just leave everything to me. I will ensure that the seal at the old headquarters won't encounter any major problems."

Irving spoke these words with a serious tone.

After hearing this, Aron and Anna felt they could no longer hesitate. They knew that Irving's assurance came with genuine intent.

"In that case, let's move the seal to the old headquarters of the Angel Guild. However, I need to remind you all not to act recklessly once we enter the old headquarters. We must follow our orders," Aron said with a furrowed brow.

Irving smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, they won't be joining us at the old headquarters of the Angel Guild. It will just be the two of us taking the seal there. This way, the risks will be minimized."
