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

Chapter 289 Sensing a Subtle Abnormality

Irving's admonitions had a significant effect; all the members preparing to participate in the showdown with the Werewolf God three days later became even more serious than before.

"Don't worry, during the upcoming battle, we will not hold you back. As one of the most important members of the Angel Guild, I assure you that I will find a way to keep the power of the blood moon in our hands," Aron stood up and said solemnly to Irving.

Irving smiled and nodded. "I believe in your promise, and I am confident that our upcoming actions will lead to success."

Since Irving had already made all the arrangements, his companions should use the remaining three days to prepare for their respective roles. Irving also had to prepare for the final showdown.

At the same time, in the desert of the Desolate Canyon, the Werewolf God was searching for the most suitable battle location. Although the desert would hinder the Werewolf God's ability to fully harness his powers, there were still some areas within it that would allow him to perform better in battle.

As the Werewolf God searched for the optimal combat zone, he suddenly sensed a subtle abnormality. He felt as if members of the Night Blades had been lingering nearby. While the area he was in was under the direct control of the Night Blades, it was unusual for their members to be constantly present around him.

Especially with the imminent battle against Irving, shouldn't the Night Blades members be preparing for the final confrontation?

The Werewolf God directly seized control of one of the Night Blades members. "Why have you been lingering around me? Did Elder Howard not give you any commands? Or was your command simply to monitor me?"

While asking these questions, the Werewolf God used the power of the blood moon, inducing a profound fear in the other party. This tactic was intended to ensure that the member would tell the truth. Your next chapter is on m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net

The Night Blades member, under the control of the Werewolf God, stammered in response, "I haven't been lingering around you. Elder Howard tasked me with inspecting the magical formations here. The reason you keep seeing me is that you have been moving within the coverage area of the magical formations."

The Night Blades member's response surprised the Werewolf God slightly.

The Werewolf God did not realize the presence of magical formations around him. "You must be lying to me! I can sense no magical formations at all! And this shouldn't be a suitable place to establish them!" he retorted in a hoarse voice.

At this point, the Night Blades member's mental state had completely collapsed. He shouted, "I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, you can ask Elder Howard! You've been moving within the magical formations this whole time! Other Night Blades members can attest to that!"

The Werewolf God was thrown into confusion by this claim. Ultimately, he decided to seek out other Night Blades members for confirmation. The responses he received from those members were identical to that of the first one.

Gradually, the Werewolf God began to suspect that his judgment might be wrong. However, he still insisted on bringing Elder Howard over. When Elder Howard learned of the situation, he smiled and explained to the Werewolf God, "It's entirely normal that you couldn't detect the presence of the magical formations. The ones we've set up here are very concealed. After all, our opponent is Irving.

He possesses incredibly keen perception. If our magical formations were too obvious, how could we expect to trouble Irving? He would surely evade them."

After saying this, Elder Howard led the Werewolf God to a large rock not far away. "If you don't believe me, just move this rock aside. Underneath it is actually the focal point of our magical formations. Once you see it, you should understand that I am not lying."

Under Elder Howard's watchful gaze, the Werewolf God moved the rock. Sure enough, beneath it lay a gem emitting a strange glow. This gem was the key to sustaining the entire magical formation.

Seeing the focal point of the magical formations, the Werewolf God finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect that you Night Blades would also set up magical formations here. If you've established them throughout the desert, where should I choose to fight? Have you not considered that during the battle, my powers might be interfered with by the magical formations you've laid out?"

The Werewolf God's words left Elder Howard feeling quite puzzled.

Elder Howard couldn't help but ask the Werewolf God, "I believe that the power of the magical formations and your own powers shouldn't interfere with one another, right? The power of the magical formations is rooted in darkness, while your power comes from the blood moon. Darkness and blood moon energies do not conflict.

Even if they were to conflict, you could always choose another battlefield during the fight. After all, the duration of the magical formations won't be long. Once Irving steps into the magical formations, all their power will be directed at attacking him. Once the power of the magical formations is completely drained, you can use the area where they were as your battlefield."

Elder Howard's explanation was quite compelling. After pondering for a moment, the Werewolf God ultimately accepted his reasoning. "You're right, perhaps I was overthinking things. I will consider this my battlefield, but I hope the members of the Night Blades can stay away from here afterward. I need to familiarize myself with the surroundings before the battle.

Your presence here will interfere with my preparations."

Since the Werewolf God had expressed himself so clearly, Elder Howard naturally refrained from opposing him further. He nodded in agreement. "In that case, I will ensure that the Night Blades members leave as soon as possible."

After saying this, Elder Howard departed. Under his orders, the Night Blades members quickly vacated the area. Although the Werewolf God still held some skepticism towards Elder Howard and the Night Blades, he couldn't deny that they had shown a great deal of sincerity.

"It seems that my previous concerns were somewhat unfounded. Perhaps I should focus my attention on preparing for the upcoming battle. If I cannot defeat Irving in this fight, both I and the Night Blades will pay a heavy price."

The Werewolf God ultimately decided to concentrate and prepare for the battle ahead.

Almost simultaneously, Elder Howard gathered the Night Blades members once more. "Your performance has been utterly disappointing. How could you let him notice something was off? Don't you realize how much this could affect our plans?"

Elder Howard angrily questioned the Night Blades members standing before him. One member sighed in resignation. "We have to monitor his every move. But our strength pales in comparison to the Werewolf God, so he was bound to notice us."

In response to the Night Blades member's explanation, Elder Howard coldly replied, "That's just an excuse! Your actions ultimately failed, and I am very disappointed in you all."

After saying this, Elder Howard's tone softened somewhat.

Although the Night Blades members had been detected by the Werewolf God, the overall plan could still proceed. "Since you won't need to stay near the Werewolf God anymore, go ensure that all the magical formations in the Desolate Canyon desert are functioning properly.

Even though we will be teaming up with Irving in the upcoming battle, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be making more preparations behind the scenes. Who knows, after the fight, Irving might turn against us. After all, he has been opposing us all along. If we can eliminate both him and the Werewolf God, it would be most beneficial for us Night Blades."

Elder Howard revealed his true plan. He was willing to disclose it because he believed the overall situation would not change significantly. For the next two days, the Werewolf God would remain in the Desolate Canyon desert. This meant that his and Irving's plans could certainly be realized. Therefore, he needed to consider the aftermath of the battle.

After arranging everything, Elder Howard sent the Night Blades members off to carry out their tasks. He himself had to head to the Night Blades headquarters to retrieve some powerful weapons.

Meanwhile, unnoticed in the ruins of Shadow City, Sophia, who had been transformed into a werewolf, was making her way deeper into the ruins. At this point, Sophia had reached the entrance of an underground tomb. She could sense a powerful force related to werewolves hidden within the tomb. However, no matter what she did, she could not enter.

In her extreme anxiety, Sophia placed her hopes on the power of the blood moon. She raised her head and let out a howl. To her surprise, a blood moon truly appeared above her head. The moonlight shone directly into Sophia's pupils, and she transformed into a gigantic wolf.

This massive wolf, illuminated by the pink moonlight, entered the underground tomb. Sophia had not completely lost her sanity. She was very aware that she was in a werewolf state. She hoped to gain control of the blood moon's power through this transformation.

Although the Werewolf God had largely mastered the blood moon's power, Sophia believed she could compete for that power by accessing the remains of powerful werewolves hidden within the tomb.

If her plan succeeded, the power of the blood moon would be controlled by the side of justice. Moreover, afterward, the werewolves would become allies of Irving's camp. Without hesitation, Sophia ventured deeper into the tomb. As she progressed, the power of the blood moon within her grew stronger and stronger.
