Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

A ring of fire, surrounded by nine fireballs, with a ghostly shadow in the center.

The ghost took on a human form, with empty eyes, and a fire wheel slowly turned.

It seems the white-haired rat was right; it really is nine fires, not six.

There are times when the notes are wrong.

For some reason, Chen Mo always felt that the Nine-Fire Soul seemed somewhat puzzled when it stared at him.

It was as if it were saying, "How come it's you?"

Chen Mo suddenly realized that he might have been tricked by that corrupt cultist, and perhaps the Nine Fire Souls only wanted to kill the corrupt cultist.

However, Chen Mo didn't have time to say anything to Nine Fire Souls, because the next moment he saw the fire circle around Nine Fire Souls begin to spin rapidly, which was obviously a sign that a skill was about to be unleashed.

Chen Mo immediately sped away. Fortunately, he had already killed the skeleton shield bearer blocking his way when he arrived. Otherwise, if he had been blocked at this moment, he would have been dead for sure.

run!

Being chased by the boss monster is not shameful; dying is shameful, and truly shameful as a "dead man."

Chen Mo headed straight for the statue's cave. The Nine-Fire Wraith suddenly unleashed a pillar of fire, a skill somewhat similar to that of the Corrupted Cultist. However, the Nine-Fire Wraith's pillar of fire was clearly more terrifying.

Chen Mo then used his zigzag running technique from the first floor to dodge the fire pillars.

Immediately, Chen Mo drank the blood vial, preparing for a protracted battle with the Nine-Fire Undead.

Seeing that the fire pillar had failed to kill Chen Mo, the Nine-Fire Wraith showed no intention of pursuing him and turned to leave.

This was somewhat unexpected for Chen Mo, who thought that the Nine-Fire Wraiths would relentlessly pursue him like the Hundred-Eyed Nest on the first floor.

Chen Mo did not stop, but quickly left and headed straight for the statue cave.

Who knows if the Nine-Fire Soul is deliberately deceiving him, and might unleash heavenly fire again at any moment.

In Chen Mo's current state, he's still a bit out of his depth to deal with it. He should go back and fully recover first.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the statue cave and the Nine-Fire Wraith still hadn't caught up.

As I stepped inside, ripples appeared on the wall beside me.

Chen Mo knew who it was at a glance, so he stopped and waited for him to appear.

A moment later, the white-haired rat emerged and immediately distanced itself upon seeing Chen Mo.

"Great Cardholder, have you obtained the Water of Corruption?"

The white-haired mouse rubbed its hands together and asked.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, then asked, "What exactly are these corrupt cultists?"

The white-haired rat quickly replied, "They were the original cardholders, who, after being corrupted, worshipped the god of corruption!"

Does the God of Corruption truly exist?

Chen Mo frowned and asked the crucial question again.

The white-haired rat replied, "No, there has never been a god of corruption. The Tower of Souls only contains pitiful corrupted beings; nothing can rise above the Tower. They are all corrupted beings who attempt to accept the corrupted cardholders with piety."

Chen Mo roughly understood: Stockholm syndrome.

Some things are beyond our control, so we try to find a reason to accept them.

There are many people like this; calling them pathetic is no exaggeration.

"What exactly is corruption?"

Chen Mo asked one last question.

The white-haired rat lowered its voice and replied, "Corruption is... it's rotting, it's degeneration, it's turning you step by step into the most disgusting existence. From human to monster, from monster to dirt. The card user will gradually lose the ability to use cards, their ability points will decrease, their cards will leave them, their inventory slots will disappear one by one, and potions will no longer be able to cure them. The longer you stay, the deeper the corruption, and the harder it is to escape."

By the end, the white-haired rat's voice had almost shrunk to the size of a mosquito.

After listening, Chen Mo pondered for a moment, and even glanced at the white-haired rat a few more times.

He had some guesses, but there was no need to prove them.

Just like some things don't need to be investigated thoroughly.

Without asking any further questions, Chen Mo walked towards the golden statue.

Next, he will face the boss monster head-on, and he must get himself into top condition.

The white-haired rat behind Chen Mo seemed to want to say something more. It called out from behind Chen Mo, "Respected Card Master, you will completely kill the Nine-Fire Soul, won't you? Let it rest in peace!"

Without turning his head, Chen Mo said, "Yes, I will let your friend rest in peace. Don't worry."

The white-haired mouse paused for a moment, seemingly reacting to the word "friend".

Chen Mo didn't explain further, and his figure disappeared in the golden light not far away.

"He found out? He really is the most skilled card player I've ever met."

The white-haired rat muttered to itself, then looked out of the cave.

That direction is precisely where the Nine-Fire Souls are located.

"Ah Huo, I promise you rest in peace, and I will keep my promise."

……

Heal, wait for skill points, and observe the moon.

Confirmed that the moon is not full, and confirmed that the health has been fully restored.

Chen Mo prepared to set off to deal with the leader, the monstrous Nine-Fire Wraith.

Of course, before going, the usual procedure applies: check yourself.

The golden cup, the corrupting water, is ready.

Cards ready. At this moment, I have an extra blue card in my hand, which I stole from the corrupt cultists.

Soul Lock: Causes one instance of dizziness.

The card seems good, but Chen Mo doesn't know if he can use it to deal with the Nine-Fire Wraiths, so he puts it in his backpack first.

The regeneration bottle is full, and the two potions also fill the potion slot.

Chen Mo had kept these two bottles of potion for a long time, waiting to use them when dealing with the boss monster.

Especially the ability potions; Chen Mo had considered using them several times in critical moments, but he had always held back. This time, it seemed he wouldn't have to hold back anymore!

Opening his notebook, Chen Mo took one last look at the Nine-Fire Soul's skills.

Even if the notes say it's Six Fire Souls, the skills should be pretty much the same.

Six-Fire Undead: Health, 130.

Skill 1: Burn, damage 20.

Skill 2: Pillar of Flame, deals 10 damage over time.

Skill 3: Earth Flame Wave, damage 40.

Skill 4: Heavenly Fire Wheel, multi-stage damage, each hit deals 50 damage.

To be honest, Chen Mo felt troubled just by looking at these four skills.

Each skill seems difficult to deal with, especially the final "Heavenly Fire Wheel". If you don't disable it, it's practically an instant kill skill.

Sure enough, listening to advice leads to a good meal; the white-haired rat was right. Without obtaining the corrupting water first, killing the Nine-Fire Wraith is almost impossible.

Even if his current cards are strong and his startup is fast, it still won't work.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, his eyes hardening.

It's time to set off. This time, he must use the same method he used against the Greatsword Knight to deal with the Nine-Fire Undead.

Kill the Nine-Fire Souls as quickly as possible by selling blood.

A protracted war is impossible; a protracted war will inevitably be lost.

Moreover, Chen Mo also had to guard against that corrupt cultist.

He not only had to defeat the Nine-Fire Undead, but also had to retain some health and resources to deal with the corrupted cultists.

Although I don't think the corrupt cultists are very strong, we still need to be wary of them.

Stepping out of the cave, Chen Mo glanced around at the skeleton monsters.

Alright, let's get started!

Come on, skeletons, I won't kill you this time.

Come with me to meet the Nine-Fire Wraith!

Let the Nine-Fire Wraiths kill you all; maybe I can even collect more gold coins and cards.

Chen Mo hadn't forgotten the strange tide income from the first floor; he had to do it again.
