Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Chapter 117 The Giant Wave Messenger, Full Hardening!

A forbidden monster?

It sounds like it's related to "power".

Even if he hadn't met you, boatman, Chen Mo would never have let such a monster go.

"No problem!"

Chen Mo readily agreed, and the boatman immediately called Chen Mo aboard.

The boat was completely empty, with not even a place to sit, so Chen Mo could only stand there, constantly looking around.

The small boat began to move forward leisurely, with no monsters lurking around, enjoying a rare peace and tranquility.

Chen Mo hadn't had such a peaceful journey in a long time, and he was in a good mood, looking around and feeling refreshed.

As the boatman rowed, he called out, "Respected Kazakh, do you have any extra food? I haven't eaten in a long time."

Chen Mo smiled slightly, took out a roasted potato from his backpack and tossed it over.

The boatman quickly accepted it, took a bite, and beamed with joy.

"Ah! Eating feels wonderful. You are a generous cardholder; the god of corruption will bless you."

Upon hearing the name "God of Corruption," Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Don't let anything unpleasant disturb his peace at this moment.

After sailing for an unknown period of time, Chen Mo only knew that his ability points had been fully restored and the tearing effect had long since worn off.

Then the boat suddenly stopped, and all around was an endless expanse of black water, with nothing else in sight.

"Why have you stopped?"

Chen Mo asked a question.

The boatman turned and chuckled, replying, "Unlucky me, I've run into some trouble. Respected cardholder, you may have to pay a price to continue!"

No sooner had the boatman finished speaking than a whirlpool appeared in the black water.

The next moment, an enormous black crab leaped out of the water.

Its entire body was covered in a hard, black shell, looking like steel. This crab was several times larger than the ones Chen Mo had seen before, completely blocking the small boat's path.

As soon as the giant crab appeared, it slammed its huge pincers into the water, and the next moment it created a huge wave that rushed towards the small boat.

Chen Mo raised his shield to defend himself, crouching slightly to block the giant wave.

The small boat didn't capsize; after being tossed about in the waves, it remained there, not even being swept away.

The boatman, holding up his oar, shouted, "Respected Lord, quickly offer gold coins to the Messenger of the Giant Waves! Just one hundred gold coins will allow us to leave. Don't be stingy with your gold coins anymore; once we fall into the water, we will surely die."

Chen Mo glanced at the giant crab, and after listening to the boatman's words, he finally matched it with an elite monster in the monster encyclopedia.

Oh, it's you!

Giant Wave Messenger: 90 HP.

Skill 1: Wave Surge, damage 35.

Skill 2: Split Explosion, damage 50.

Skill 3: Rigid Body, Defense 15.

Skill 4: Ice Breath, deals 30 damage over time.

The giant crab didn't continue its attack, seemingly waiting for Chen Mo to give it gold coins.

Chen Mo glanced at the boatman, then a smile appeared on his lips.

Do you want him to pay 100 gold coins?

It's ridiculous!

Chen Mo activated the Wings of Per, golden dragon wings appeared behind him, and he instantly took to the air.

The moment Chen Mo took flight, the boatman's face was filled with astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo rushed toward the giant crab.

His body transformed into a golden light, and he flew at a very fast speed.

Before the giant crab could even react, it was struck by Chen Mo's sword!

clang!

Before Chen Mo's damage stacked up, the damage from the Azure Star Sword alone couldn't reduce his health by much.

The giant crab looked at Chen Mo with a hint of disdain in its eyes.

Then, the giant crab began to spew air at Chen Mo. But it wasn't blowing bubbles; it was actually spitting out solid ice!

Frost struck Chen Mo's shield like a knife.

Chen Mo countered with a Savage Assault, interrupting its continuous damage.

Then the ultimate giant sword was activated, and it cleaved directly into the face of the giant crab.

The blow caused the giant crab pain, causing it to arch its back and slam its two massive pincers into the water, creating another wave.

Chen Mo persisted, poking the giant crab repeatedly.

A single poke deals 22 damage. Even after removing the opponent's 15 points of rigidity defense, it still deals 7 damage and restores 4 health points.

After being stabbed several times, the giant crab could no longer withstand the attack.

Its health plummeted; its 90 health points seemed utterly insignificant in the face of this flying human.

The enraged giant crab unleashed its final attack, its two large pincers separating and flying straight towards Chen Mo like a missile.

Split-off explosion!

When Chen Mo saw the crab claws about to hit him, he immediately used another card.

Ultimate counterattack!

boom!

The explosion sent water splashing everywhere, and the aftershocks rose to the surface.

But even after the explosion, Chen Mo was still standing in front of the giant crab.

"die!"

The giant crab watched in horror as Chen Mo's sword swiftly pierced its body.

At this moment, its enormous body was more like a giant target, ensuring that Chen Mo's sword would never miss.

Finally, the giant crab collapsed.

Flooded and overwhelmed.

His body turned to dust and was scattered by the water, revealing a card and some gold coins.

Chen Mo picked up the card and the gold coins, then flew back to the small boat.

From beginning to end, he didn't use up his four ability points, and his health was almost full. He didn't need to use Tear or Burn, and an elite monster died at his hands.

It was swift and efficient, taking less than ten minutes, even compared to the ten minutes of the Wings of Per.

Chen Mo flicked the "crab juice" off his sword and calmly looked at the boatman: "Can we go now?"

The boatman then came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes. You truly deserve to be called the strongest card user and the wielder of authority."

The boatman urged them to hurry up and row the boat.

Chen Mo frowned even more upon hearing this. What had he just said? How did he know about power?

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something and had some guesses in his mind.

But now is not the time to turn against him, because he can't navigate a boat.

Swimming would be unsafe, and it would be too embarrassing.

Chen Mo kept quiet when he should, only looking at the card that the giant crab had dropped.

Well, the gold coins were few, but the card that dropped was decent; it was a green card.

Full Hardening: Gain 6 points of defense for one hour.

This card feels like a high-level card that has been hardened into stone, and it doesn't have an "ultimate" version, meaning it can be upgraded at least one more time.

Good card, not bad.

It may not be possible to combine it with stone hardening, because the "hardening" effect cannot be applied twice.

Chen Mo put it away carefully, planning to find an opportunity to test whether it could be stacked. If it was confirmed that it could not be stacked, then he could burn away the hardened stone.

This card is worth three blue cards to Chen Mo, so the return is quite good.

This also saves him from using forbidden upgrades that might attract unnecessary attention or cause the boss monster to appear prematurely.

Chen Mo continued to admire the scenery, letting the boatman carry him slowly forward.

This floor doesn't seem as cramped, and there are far fewer monsters.

Perhaps this layer could be simpler?

If only they were as easy to kill as giant crabs.
