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

Chapter 284 The Very Ancient Power of the Blood Moon

Since Jony had mentioned the connection between his family and the power of the blood moon, Irving naturally took the opportunity to ask further. "Can you explain to me the specific relationship between your family and the power of the blood moon?

I am also very eager to learn more information related to the blood moon's power because only then can I increase the chances of success in the upcoming operation."

Jony nodded without hesitation. "In fact, the power of the blood moon is not as evil as you might think. Moreover, it is very ancient. The power of the blood moon existed long before the shelter game appeared. It was surprising to me that the power of the blood moon was included in the shelter game because I initially believed it was an ancient and secret power known only to a select few."

Jony looked up at the moon in the sky. It seemed as though he could see a blood-red moon. However, to Irving, the moon in the sky appeared to be just in its normal state.

"Can you see the moon in the sky?" Jony asked softly.

Irving nodded and replied, "Of course! It's a full moon tonight, and the moon in the sky is particularly bright."

Jony's response elicited a light chuckle from him. "What you see is just an ordinary moon. You cannot see the true moon. Only those who possess the power of the blood moon can see the real moon."

Irving felt even more confused by Jony's words. Before he could ask further, Jony placed his hand on Irving's shoulder. "Now, look up at the sky, and you will see the true moon."

Irving sensed an inexplicable force entering his body. When he looked up at the sky again, the enormous round moon radiated a faint red glow.

"Is this what you refer to as the blood moon? Has the blood moon always existed in the reality we live in?" Seeing the blood moon left Irving in shock. He had never expected that his greatest enemy, the power he feared the most, had always been present in the real world.

"How is this possible? If the power of the blood moon has always existed in the real world, why haven't any werewolves appeared?" As soon as Irving finished speaking, he suddenly came to a realization.

Irving immediately turned his head and looked at Jony.

Jony smiled and nodded, "My family actually has some werewolf bloodline. Under normal circumstances, the power of the blood moon is not strong enough to awaken the werewolf bloodline in my family members. However, when the power of the blood moon is strong enough, my family members will transform into werewolves. Just like Sophia demonstrated in the Shelter Game."

"So, you mean to say that Sophia was not actually controlled by the Werewolf God? She simply had her werewolf bloodline activated?" Irving asked, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Jony nodded. "You're right. Sophia became a werewolf simply because her werewolf bloodline was activated. So even if she had stayed in the Shelter Game, she wouldn't have been under the control of the Werewolf God."

This answer from Jony finally put Irving's worries to rest. However, Jony still hadn't revealed whether there was a way to counteract the power of the blood moon.

"Since you know so much about the power of the blood moon, can you tell me if it can be countered? If there is a way to counter it, I hope you can tell me directly. Because only then will I have a chance to defeat the Werewolf God in the Shelter Game."

Facing Irving's inquiry, Jony sighed. "You don't understand at all. As a very ancient power, the blood moon's strength cannot be eradicated. Your goal isn't to eliminate the power of the blood moon; isn't your goal to defeat the Werewolf God?"

Jony's words finally made Irving realize his misunderstanding. He had been trapped in a misconception. Irving had viewed the power of the blood moon as his enemy, but in reality, it could be wielded by anyone. This meant that Irving could also harness the power of the blood moon to defeat his enemies. His true enemy was only the Werewolf God.

If he could reclaim the power of the blood moon from the Werewolf God, he could use it for himself.

"I finally understand! So can you tell me how to seize the power of the blood moon?" Irving asked Jony directly.

Jony nodded, "The way to control the power of the blood moon is very simple: worship the moon and follow the moon!"

Jony's statement left Irving quite perplexed. He looked back up at the moon in the sky.

For Irving, worshiping the moon was a straightforward task; he just needed to keep gazing at it once night fell. But what did it mean to follow the moon? Did the moon have consciousness? What did he need to do if he wanted to follow the moon?

Irving pondered for a moment but could not find the answer to his questions. So he turned his head directly to look at Jony again.

Jony smiled as he spoke. "You don't need to ask me, because I don't know how to worship the moon or follow the moon either. What I've said is merely the ancestral teaching of my family. They instructed us, the descendants, to worship the moon and follow it. But we must never become obsessed with the power that the moon brings.

Becoming obsessed will lead to becoming a werewolf, and werewolves are extraordinarily mad beings. The information I can provide you is limited to this. From here on out, you'll have to rely on yourself. Perhaps your talent will help you find a safe way to use the power of the blood moon."

After finishing his words, Jony returned to his room.

In truth, Jony did not care much about Sophia's safety. To him, the werewolf that Sophia would become could no longer be considered his daughter. The ancestral teachings of the Green family were very clear: werewolves are not human. Only humans can descend into madness and become werewolves.

Once a family member transforms into a werewolf, it means they can no longer receive help from other family members.

If Irving could rescue Sophia, she could still become the leader of the Green family. But if Irving failed to bring her back, Sophia would simply be an ordinary werewolf lost within the Shelter Game.

After Jony left, Irving found himself at a loss for words. He had discerned Jony's true thoughts from their conversation. Although Irving strongly disagreed with Jony's views, he had no way to change his family's teachings.

After thinking for a while, Irving ultimately chose to return to his own home. On his way back, he kept gazing at the moon in the sky. Under the full moon, the moon appeared exceptionally beautiful.

"How exactly should I worship the moon and follow it? What kind of actions count as following the moon?" Irving couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Finding an answer to his questions wasn't easy. Once he returned home, he posed the same question to Wendy. Discover more content at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

Upon hearing the question, Wendy's expression turned quite puzzled. "Why should we follow the moon? The moon is just an ordinary celestial body in the sky. If it weren't for the moon being relatively close to Earth, we wouldn't even be able to see it in the sky."

Wendy's words made Irving smile. "It seems you aren't very familiar with the various powers within the Shelter Game. The power of the blood moon doesn't necessarily represent the moon that exists in the real world. Moreover, following the moon and worshiping the moon doesn't just mean following and worshiping the celestial body hanging in the sky. There might be a deeper mystical connection involved."

As soon as Irving finished speaking, he fell silent. He suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important piece of information. Worshiping the moon is indeed possible; one simply needs to worship the satellite hanging in the sky. However, to follow the moon, one must pursue an entity with a clear self-awareness.

Does that mean he was not meant to follow the moon itself, but rather an unknown existence beyond the moon?

At that moment of realization, he felt a rush of pink light filling his field of vision. When he looked up at the sky, he suddenly saw a massive blood-red moon hanging above him. This blood-red moon was unusually large, almost consuming his entire view.

Irving felt an extraordinary, ethereal voice echoing in his mind. This voice urged him to continuously absorb the power of the blood moon, and he felt his heartbeat rapidly quickening. He also sensed changes happening to his body.

However, none of this distracted Irving. He simply focused intently on the enormous blood-red moon in the sky.

Time seemed to pass without him noticing, and eventually, Irving began to regain his composure. The pink light in his field of vision gradually faded away, and his heartbeat returned to normal.

Once he felt completely settled, Irving looked around. He noticed that Wendy had retreated to a position quite far from him.

"What are you doing? Did you just encounter danger?" Irving asked Wendy, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Wendy scrutinized Irving before responding with a trembling voice, "I did indeed face danger! The danger I encountered was you! What just happened to you? You almost transformed into a huge werewolf!"

As she spoke, Wendy continued to back away. She seemed genuinely concerned about Irving transforming into a werewolf again; if that happened, she wouldn't be able to ensure her own safety.

Hearing Wendy's words, Irving felt he had found some answers. He turned his gaze back to the massive moon in the sky and muttered to himself, "I think I finally understand."
