Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

I hate this kind of continuous damage the most, and with so many shadowy figures, it's hard to interrupt them.

Chen Mo turned and ran. Instead of jumping off the cliff, he chose a safer route and took a detour down the mountain.

Fortunately, the shrieks of these shadowy figures have a limited range, and once the distance is created, they are no longer affected by continuous damage.

Chen Mo even used another savage attack to speed up his departure.

I don't know how long I ran, but finally the scenery changed before my eyes.

The beach was covered with pebbles and stretched as far as the eye could see.

After crossing the snow line, the dark figures clearly stopped pursuing.

Chen Mo looked around and, finding no other monsters, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn!

What did you give him?

Is it still the Tower of Divine Souls?

It feels incredibly spacious here, and the sun is even shining in the sky.

Could it really be that the Divine Soul Tower has been released? That would be wonderful...

Wait, can his card still be used after leaving the Divine Soul Tower?

Chen Mo squinted and looked more closely, only to discover that the sun was not only the wrong size, but more than ten times larger than it appeared when viewed from Earth.

More importantly, the sun here is reddish, even blood red!

Looking ahead, you can see tall vegetation forming a forest in the distance.

The black, green, and gray trees stretched out in a continuous expanse, making it clear at a glance that there must be monsters inside.

Still inside the Divine Soul Tower!

Chen Mo made a judgment, and then quickly took out his notes to look through them.

Is it the third floor?

It doesn't seem right. The third level is called the Ancient Battlefield, and the monsters there are mostly undead. This is clearly not the case.

The fourth floor? That doesn't seem like it either!

Fifth, sixth?

Chen Mo's heart tightened as he flipped through the pages, and he finally stopped when he reached the ninth page.

The ninth level, Snow Soul Valley.

The name seems to be correct; let's check the monster encyclopedia.

Sure enough, it was the first one.

Snow Mountain Demon: 52 HP.

Skill 1: Scream, deals 3 damage over time.

Skill 2: Possession, deals continuous damage of 5.

Skill 3: Illusion, weapon damage reduced by 7.

that's it!

Chen Mo instinctively judged that this was the dark figure he had just encountered.

Fortunately, we didn't fight them. These snow mountain demons not only have two continuous damage skills, but they are also not very susceptible to weapon damage.

More importantly, they come in droves, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Chen Mo still prefers physical damage monsters that deal head-on, even if they have a lot of health.

After carefully memorizing the monster illustrations and having a clear understanding of the situation, Chen Mo continued onward.

Damn it, it must have been that sphere that brought him here, skipping all the floors and arriving at the ninth floor directly.

Chen Mo guessed that this must be the method by which the corrupt cultist moved between the different levels of the Soul Tower.

Judging from the fragmented information given by the white-haired rat, the corrupt cultists are not a lone entity; they are a group. They likely even have an organization and territory within the Soul Tower!

That means you might encounter other corrupted cultists here. Otherwise, there's no reason why the orb would lead here.

I got scammed!

It's unbelievable that even after the corrupt cultist died, he could still pull a fast one on them.

After calming himself down, Chen Mo decided to suppress his resentment for now; he needed to focus on moving forward.

According to the description in the guidebook, Chen Mo didn't see any monsters in the forest, so maybe the forest was still relatively safe.

As expected, there was nothing unusual upon entering the forest. Chen Mo even found a special forest path leading forward, and the trees on both sides of the path showed signs of pruning, which further convinced Chen Mo that there must be corrupted cultists here. Normal monsters would not have such intelligence.

They continued forward and soon emerged from the forest. What came into Chen Mo's view was a valley village, a village actually inhabited by humans!

The wooden houses are scattered in a pleasing, staggered pattern. There is smoke rising from chimneys, shadowy figures, and the barking of dogs.

In the distance, you can see a towering wooden church with a large bell on top.

For a moment, Chen Mo felt like he had gone to the wrong place. Was he sure he was inside the Divine Soul Tower? It felt almost the same as being back on Earth.

He stood there in a daze, just as the village bells began to ring, their chimes ringing out continuously.

Chen Mo quickly took two steps back and hid in the shadows of the woods.

Then, on the dirt road in the village not far away, a group of villagers with bloodshot eyes carried a person into the village as if they were a live pig.

I recognized that "live pig"—wasn't it Zhang Dequan?

Old Zhang was bound hand and foot, but he kept shouting.

"I was just passing by! We're all human, please don't do this, help!"

Shouting was useless; countless villagers followed Zhang Dequan toward the village center. It seemed that what awaited Zhang Dequan was probably not good news.

Chen Mo frowned. Poor Lao Zhang was arrested way too quickly.

Where are your tiny, shuffling steps? Are you running on all fours?

Your stealth ability is terrible too, even worse than mine!

It seems that we not only need to find a way to fight our way through this level, but also to rescue people.

According to Lao Zhang himself, this is just another side quest.

Chen Mo was still pondering, while also observing the situation.

Suddenly, an axe swung from beside him, startling Chen Mo, who quickly raised his shield to block.

clang!

Chen Mo then realized who was attacking him; it was a villager wielding a logging axe.

Dressed in tattered hemp clothing, with bloodshot eyes, he rushed forward and swung his axe at Chen Mo again.

The force was so great that Chen Mo had to take a half step back.

Where did he come from? Was he hiding in the woods just now?

"monster!"

Chen Mo glanced at him a few more times, confirming that the other person was definitely not a normal human being.

Combined with the illustrations on this floor, Chen Mo can now determine what the other party is.

Soul Possession: 48 HP.

Skill 1: Brute Force Attack, damage 11.

Skill 2: Bite and bleed, 20 damage, causes bleeding.

Skill 3: Soul Transformation, special attack, damage 10-30.

(Note: Special attacks are different attack patterns, and the damage may vary.)

After taking two blows from the axe, Chen Mo roughly understood the opponent's attack pattern. Then, he retaliated by thrusting his sword directly into the villager's head.

When a sword pierces through, a normal monster will roar, cry out in pain, and may even lean back slightly.

But the next moment, the villagers didn't react at all, and instead raised their axes to launch another brute-force attack on Chen Mo.

There was almost no pain, and no "backward leaning" either!

This time, Chen Mo dodged the axe and slashed at the villager's arm with his sword.

This sword strike nearly severed the villager's arm; under normal circumstances, his axe should have flown out of his hand.

But the villager's arm was not broken; instead, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared and connected to it.

At the same time, the neck separated from the head, and a ghostly sound came out of the mouth.

Soul-transformation, tearing apart!

The two attacks were launched almost simultaneously, startling Chen Mo, who quickly leaped backward and dodged.

The villager's head hit the tree, finally bringing him to a pause.

Chen Mo quickly rushed back and delivered a few more sword strikes.

One, two, around the back, three, four!

After the final strike, the black aura around the villager disappeared, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, exploding into seven or eight gold coins.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth; even this one villager was so difficult to kill.

This group inside is difficult to deal with!
