In response to Irving's retort, Elder Lawrence merely chuckled softly.
"Young man, do not be too proud. I am aware that you have dealt significant blows to us Night Blades. I know that one of our Elders has fallen at your hands.
However, that does not mean you can defeat me in the Shelter game. I have been operating within the Shelter game for a long time. The power I possess and the resources at my disposal are beyond your imagination!"
As soon as Elder Lawrence finished speaking, shadows of monsters began to materialize around him. These shadows slowly advanced toward Irving and Aron, gradually taking on solid forms.
"These monsters are just ordinary creatures I have summoned. If you plan to continue forward, don't blame me for being unfriendly. I can summon exceptionally powerful exotic beasts," Elder Lawrence stated, and his words were not a mere threat but a statement of fact.
