Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Three more white cards in hand, time to upgrade them again.

At this point, Chen Mo could only choose to upgrade the cards "Hardening" and "Assault".

No matter how Chen Mo looked at it, the attack card had a higher priority.

Chen Mo could guess the upgrade effect of Hardening; it would most likely be the same as Soul Flame, increasing defense by 4 points.

While it's quite useful, it's only really effective against weaker monsters.

For elite monsters that deal dozens of points of damage, the extra few points of defense are negligible, let alone for boss monsters that deal even more damage.

Chen Mo wasn't quite sure what the upgraded Assault Card would look like.

But no matter how you look at it, it's more useful than hardening, even if it only increases damage by a few points.

Taking out the forbidden upgrade card from the black card, Chen Mo began to upgrade the card.

The same black flames, the same white to blue transformation, and the card was upgraded in no time.

Savage Assault: Accelerates forward, covering a range of 20 meters, and deals 10 damage and stuns the target upon impact.

With the increased range and slightly increased damage, Chen Mo was already quite satisfied with just these two aspects.

When Chen Mo saw that it also had a dizziness effect, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Dizziness! This card even gains additional effects when upgraded!

If you had told me earlier that you could be upgraded to increase the effects, why would I have waited until now to upgrade you?

Dizziness: Unable to dodge for a short period of time.

Chen Mo took out his notebook and carefully checked that he had recorded it correctly.

Yes, it's a very good result.

It's an essential card for dealing with fast-moving enemies.

Chen Mo was increasingly delighted as he looked at the upgrade; it was a huge win, even better than he had imagined.

The 20-meter acceleration was enough for him to dodge most area-of-effect skills, and he could even use this card to evade the terrifying Heavenly Fire skill of Nine Fire Souls.

A card that combines offense and defense—that's what makes a truly good card.

As for the hardening, it's good that we didn't upgrade it; we'll wait until next time!

……

With his health fully restored and ready, Chen Mo continued his journey, his destination the corrupted chapel beneath the Pit of Death.

Outside the Statue Cave, with the death of the Greatsword Knight, the skeleton shield bearers and skeleton longsword bearers began to reappear.

However, the number was not large, not as exaggerated as in the previous days, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Chen Mo.

Holding a golden sword, Chen Mo strode forward to meet the skeleton shield bearer and the longsword bearer beside him.

A few days ago, he would have had to timidly lure the monster over to kill it, take cover, and calculate its health.

Now, seeing the skeleton shield bearer and two skeleton longsword bearers charging towards him, Chen Mo immediately activated his card.

Transform into a giant sword!

The golden sword instantly grew larger, unleashing a force that could cleave through the wind.

With a single sword strike, all three skeletons were sent flying. The skeleton shield bearer, in particular, was hit by the armor-piercing effect, and its shield shattered instantly, exploding into fragments scattered all over the ground.

The golden sword dealt 9 points of damage, and the greatsword dealt an additional 10 points, creating an explosive effect.

The attack after transforming into a giant sword became a wide-area attack, so effective that Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

The three fallen skeletons were doomed. Chen Mo went up to finish them off, killing two of them instantly. The last skeleton with the longsword flipped and leaped away, leaving Chen Mo to watch as he finished off the remaining two skeletons, dropping several gold coins.

Chen Mo hasn't used Soul Flame yet, mainly to save skill points and also to see the effect of the greatsword transformation.

From this perspective, if Soul-Attaching Flame were used in addition, the effect would be even more explosive.

He was no longer so afraid of small-scale attacks in the future.

With ultimate blood energy, the ability to transform into a greatsword and charge attacks, he can fight even if surrounded by a team of elite monsters.

The last skeleton swordsman also quickly fell to Chen Mo's hands. These monsters were troublesome from the first encounter, especially when surrounded. But in one-on-one combat, Chen Mo became increasingly experienced in dealing with them.

After dealing with the three skeletons, Chen Mo continued forward.

The scattered skeletons could no longer stop his advance. Although he only had one more blue card in hand, that blue card solved a major problem, making the situation so simple.

The Pit of Death.

Chen did not arrive.

What came into view was an area resembling a meteorite crater, with various skeletons piled up underneath.

There were humanoid and canine-shaped creatures, with haphazard spears and broken swords stuck all around. Inside were a group of dull-witted skeleton monsters, their weapons broken and seemingly unable to move.

Chen Mo did not rush down. Based on his judgment, these skeleton monsters were probably "newborn" monsters during the full moon.

Similar to the situation on the first floor, the newly born monsters are weaker and look much dumber.

However, don't assume that newly born monsters are easy to bully, especially when they gather in large groups.

If Chen Mo weren't searching for the corrupted chapel at the bottom of the Pit of Death, he would definitely be taking a detour now.

Now, Chen Mo felt he needed to come up with another plan. Killing them all was impossible; he needed to find a way to lure them out.

Chen Mo regretted killing the skeletal greatsword knight so early; he should have waited until the greatsword knight had cleared out the skeleton monsters for a few more days.

What remains are hidden dangers!

When it came to work, Chen Mo went inside first, chopped down a random enemy, and then ran away.

Sure enough, the next moment, a group of skeleton monsters pounced on Chen Mo, immediately unleashing the skill "Soul Absorption".

It doesn't do much damage, but getting caught is a real hassle.

Chen Mo lured them to the edge of the pit of death, then circled around and rushed in to lure the next batch.

After several trips back and forth without wasting any health or ability points, the center of the Death Pit was cleared. Chen Mo quickly launched a Savage Charge to the center of the Death Pit, then frantically slashed around with his sword, searching for a passage beneath the skeletons.

It has to be said that it was a bit difficult to find. If he hadn't known in advance that there would definitely be something down there, he would have missed it 100% of the time, given the pile of bones.

Got it!

A clear metallic clanging sound was heard after the golden sword pierced down somewhere.

Upon closer inspection, what was revealed was a deathly gray door panel, seamlessly integrated into the skeleton.

Chen Mo forcefully lifted the door panel, and the skeleton monsters behind him had already gathered.

He quickly jumped down and closed the door behind him.

boom!

Chen Mo landed, having jumped about five or six meters, and lost some health.

Below, the lights were bright, and there were burning skulls on both sides of the passage. The ground was paved with bluestone, and there seemed to be figures moving back and forth ahead.

anyone?

Are they corrupt religious believers?

Chen Mo sensed something was wrong. He had only come to collect some corrupting water and had no intention of fighting a group of corrupt cultists here.

Because there was no information about the Corrupted Cultists in his notes, he knew nothing about their skills and fighting style, which would make him feel very restricted in the fight.

Hugging the wall, Chen Mo began to move forward cautiously, trying not to make a sound.

After passing through the passage, Chen Mo discovered that the figures were not corrupted cultists, but rather the humans who had been taken away by them.

They were now in a circle, muttering something, moving slowly, their skin pale and their eyes vacant.

They don't look like living people, they look more like walking corpses!
