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

Chapter 306 The Sky Falls, the Earth Cracks

"Who exactly are you? Why are you helping Irving?" Elder Lawrence asked, eyeing Shadow Celestial warily. Read new adventures at mvl

Elder Lawrence was somewhat familiar with Shadow Celestial's skills. He could sense that the abilities being used were remarkably similar to those of the Night Blades members. Thus, he immediately concluded that Shadow Celestial was a member of the Night Blades.

However, upon further reflection, Elder Lawrence realized that there were significant differences between Shadow Celestial's skills and those of the Night Blades. This realization left him quite perplexed.

Upon hearing the question, Shadow Celestial chuckled softly. "Who I am is not important. The reason I am helping him is simply that we are friends. Friends naturally support each other!"

Shadow Celestial's response was airtight, and he revealed no useful information to his opponent.

Elder Lawrence scoffed after hearing this. "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude! Since you're his friend, you are my enemy! I won't hold back against my enemies!"

With that, Elder Lawrence launched another attack.

However, this time his target was not Irving; Elder Lawrence directed his assault at Shadow Celestial.

Shadow Celestial regarded Elder Lawrence's attack with disdain. He had been in the Abyss of Death for a long time and was very familiar with its characteristics.

Thus, Shadow Celestial easily utilized the properties of the Abyss of Death to neutralize Elder Lawrence's attacks one by one.

"Stop making futile attempts; none of your attacks will achieve anything," Shadow Celestial said provocatively.

Elder Lawrence, of course, did not believe this statement. He continued to unleash his attacks.

However, aside from rapidly depleting his own strength, he achieved no useful results.

Irving watched the scene unfold with a detached gaze.

Although he felt this was a good opportunity to eliminate Elder Lawrence, he couldn't shake the feeling that fighting here would only worsen his own situation.

So, Irving straightforwardly said to Shadow Celestial, "We don't need to waste any more time here with him! Let's get out of here quickly!"

Shadow Celestial nodded. "You're right! Let him continue to exhaust his power here!"

Together, Shadow Celestial and Irving moved swiftly toward the exit of the Abyss of Death.

Elder Lawrence was left bewildered by this scene. "What is going on? Has Irving really given up the opportunity to gain immense power? Or is there something else hidden within the Abyss of Death?"

Just as Lawrence pondered this, he sensed a violent disturbance emanating from the depths of the Abyss of Death. A surge of powerful blood moon energy enveloped the Abyss in a pink glow.

Then, Lawrence heard Sophia's heart-wrenching screams. Upon hearing that sound, he immediately recognized that the situation was dire. He realized he needed to leave as quickly as possible. Although he didn't know what had happened to Sophia, if she, who wielded blood moon power, couldn't ensure her safety, then he certainly could not.

Elder Lawrence hurriedly followed the direction where Irving and Shadow Celestial had gone, heading toward the exit of the Abyss of Death.

Not far behind Lawrence, Sophia was concentrating all her blood moon energy. She radiated a crimson glow. At that moment, she couldn't think of anything else; her only focus was to escape as quickly as she could.

However, behind Sophia, an indescribable and illogical horror was relentlessly pursuing her. This terrifying entity was the monster lurking at the deepest part of the Abyss of Death. It had finally amassed enough power. It sought not only to kill Sophia but to annihilate all life.

The Abyss of Death was on the brink of complete collapse. Under such circumstances, the terrain surrounding the Abyss began to undergo a series of changes. The temperature of the surrounding marshes rose dramatically, eventually turning the marsh into a boiling cauldron. All the creatures within the swamp were killed by the intense heat.

The surviving members of the Night Blades near the marsh fled in a panic, desperately trying to escape.

The environment around the Abyss of Death was not the only place undergoing drastic changes. Even the Desolate Canyon, located some distance away from the Abyss, was experiencing its own series of transformations.

In the Desolate Canyon, Benjamin and Nick, who were searching for Anna and Aron, could sense a faint sound in the surrounding space. It sounded like two forces continuously clashing against each other.

Benjamin and Nick exchanged glances. Almost simultaneously, they spoke, "Did you hear that strange noise around us?"

"So, you heard it too! What does it mean? Does this indicate that the place we are in is no longer safe?"

Benjamin and Nick were both very concerned. Their strength was significantly lower than that of Irving and the others, and acting alone would pose a considerable risk for them. Moreover, the Night Blades still had sufficient power in the Desolate Canyon.

So, the first conclusion that both of them reached was that the Night Blades were likely responsible for the current abnormalities. However, they didn't have much time to think it over, as the Desolate Canyon soon experienced a violent earthquake.

The desert area of the Desolate Canyon split open in the middle. A fissure leading deep underground appeared before Benjamin and Nick.

Both of them wore expressions of shock as they gazed at the massive crack.

"What is happening? Is the entire Desolate Canyon about to collapse?! Shouldn't we run away now?" Benjamin asked, his voice tinged with surprise.

Nick shook his head. "We can't run! We still haven't found Anna and Aron! Even if we wanted to escape, we have to take them with us! If the Desolate Canyon is about to collapse, and we can't find them, that means they will surely perish along with it!"

As a member of the Angel Guild, Nick was deeply concerned about Aron and Anna. Therefore, he hoped to find them first and escape the Desolate Canyon together.

Benjamin thought this was highly unlikely. "Stop dreaming! We won't be able to find them! Even if we do, there won't be enough time for us to escape! So just listen to me and run away! I believe even Irving would agree with my judgment!"

Benjamin hoped to persuade Nick to follow his lead.

Nick remained opposed. "I think the more dangerous the situation, the more we need to stay calm! While things are a bit off right now, the Desolate Canyon hasn't collapsed completely yet. Let's wait until it's beyond saving before we choose to leave."

Just as Nick finished speaking, a rumbling sound echoed from the sky.

The two of them looked up and were suddenly struck by the sight of the sky changing colors.

The sky, once blue, had transformed into a deep red. Moreover, bolts of lightning streaked back and forth across the sky.

As these lightning bolts intertwined, they formed terrifying black voids, each more alarming than the last.

As the black voids expanded, the entire sky was nearly engulfed in darkness.

"What is happening? Even if the Desolate Canyon is going to collapse, the sky shouldn't look like this. Could it be that the entire shelter game world is collapsing as well?!" Benjamin stared incredulously at the scene unfolding in the sky.

Nick, even more shocked than Benjamin, found himself at a loss for words. The only phrase that could describe what they were witnessing was "the sky is falling." Both the heavens and the earth seemed to be heading toward destruction.

"We can't waste any time! I believe this is likely the result of Irving and the others' actions! Everything must be connected to the Abyss of Death!" After overcoming his initial panic, Benjamin quickly deduced the possible scenario. He decided to lead Nick toward the Abyss of Death.

Nick thought carefully for a moment and eventually agreed with Benjamin's plan.

Thus, Nick and Benjamin set off in the direction of the Abyss of Death. As they moved forward, they noticed the areas they passed through were undergoing violent changes.

Every piece of land in the Desolate Canyon was plummeting. It seemed as if the entire canyon was about to be consumed by lava. The sky above the Desolate Canyon was also in turmoil, with bolts of lightning striking down toward the ground. Each strike caused the earth to collapse, forming one gaping void after another.

When they finally reached the Abyss of Death, Irving and Shadow Celestial had just emerged from its depths.

Upon seeing Benjamin and Nick, Irving immediately said, "You two shouldn't stay here! Hurry back to the real world! The Desolate Canyon is about to completely collapse! I'll remain here for the final battle!"

Benjamin and Nick were taken aback by Irving's words. Benjamin was quick to follow Irving's command, but Nick felt he needed to consider the safety of Aron and Anna.

"What about Aron and Anna if we leave now? We haven't found them yet!" Nick exclaimed.

Before Nick could finish, Irving coldly replied, "You don't need to worry about that! I will ensure Aron and Anna's safety! Staying here will only put you in danger. Moreover, you wouldn't be able to help me in the upcoming battle."

Since Irving had said this, Nick could no longer insist on his position.

Benjamin, standing beside Nick, quickly grabbed his arm and activated the teleportation back to their shelter. They could swiftly return to the real world from their own shelter.
