Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Chen Mo suddenly realized that a deadly danger was imminent.

The opponent's undead control inflicts continuous damage and stuns, effectively making you stand there and lose health.

Unable to interrupt the attack, Chen Mo was doomed. He rushed forward and slashed down the zombies blocking his way with two sword strikes, closing the distance between himself and the Shadow Assassin as much as possible. At the same time, Chen Mo threw something out of his hand.

Just as he threw it out, a black mist, like a thread, descended from the sky and landed on Chen Mo.

Chen Mo immediately felt his body sink and become unable to move, while his health began to drop.

With Chen Mo's current health, he wouldn't last more than a few seconds.

boom!

The object Chen Mo threw flew in a graceful arc and landed on the Shadow Assassin.

The Shadow Assassin initially didn't take it seriously; its Shadow Aura could block 15 points of damage. To him, what Chen Mo threw was just a "stone."

But the object exploded upon hitting him, turning into flames.

Immediately, the Shadow Assassin retracted its claws, interrupting the continuous damage.

Chen Mo didn't throw a stone, but a fire potion.

To be honest, using medicine at this time is not a good option for Chen Mo.

Because the 20 damage from the Flame Potion only deals a mere 5 damage to the Shadow Assassin.

However, the fire potion still interrupted the Shadow Assassin's continuous damage.

And at that very moment, Chen Mo, who was also dizzy, used a card.

Shift!

Relieves one bout of dizziness.

The dizziness effect subsided instantly, and Chen Mo leaped up, stepping on the head of a zombie, and took a step forward.

This distance is enough, Bloodthirst Slash!

The final blow, hit!

The crimson sword energy cleaved the Shadow Assassin away, and a final, muffled roar came from within his body.

His body crashed to the ground, scattering cards and coins.

The surrounding zombies immediately stopped moving and stopped asking Chen Mo for a "hug".

The zombies swayed and fell to the ground, motionless. Only then did Chen Mo breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to kill these zombies anymore; they didn't drop any gold coins, it was just a waste of energy.

He slowly walked to the Shadow Assassin's corpse, watching as the Shadow Assassin's body disintegrated like air currents.

Chen Mo picked up the card that had been destroyed.

Huh? It's a blue weapon card.

Poisoned Dagger: Summons an emerald dagger that deals 7 damage and inflicts 2 poison with each attack.

This card was useless to Chen Mo, but he thought Old Zhang might really like it. He noticed that Old Zhang liked using daggers.

After putting away the cards and picking up about forty or fifty gold coins, Chen Mo suddenly noticed that the Shadow Assassin seemed to have dropped something else.

A black key with the words "Shadow" engraved on it.

Chen Mo suddenly remembered what the mysterious merchant had said:

"The key is with the guard."

Could it be that the key the mysterious merchant spoke of wasn't the key to open the prison, but rather the key that this shadow assassin dropped?

So what does this key open?

For now, Chen Mo couldn't quite understand it, but the four words on the notebook, "Don't be curious," were swirling in his mind.

Damn it, how could he not be curious?

He was incredibly curious about what this key represented.

But curiosity won't help now; let's figure out how to get out of here first.

Chen Mo immediately ran back to the passage he had come from, only to find that the passage was blocked by large rocks and he could not squeeze through at all.

Then they ran to the other side, which was the passage that the corrupt priest had led people through. This place was also full of rubble, but it didn't seem to be completely blocked. They could squeeze through after clearing away the stones.

Fortunately, it just takes a little time to move the stones.

Since that's the case, Chen Mo is not in a hurry for the time being.

Let's just gather some ability points here and rest for a while.

Finding a safe corner against the wall, Chen Mo first moved the corpse next to him aside, and then sat down.

Chen Mo took out a tomato and continued eating it. He watched as the tearing effect subsided, and the effects of the Soul-Attaching Flame and the Stone Hardening also disappeared.

There's nothing we can do but wait for our ability points to recover.

His combat power was greatly reduced once the tearing effect wore off. Chen Mo concluded that he must stack up damage before fighting big monsters in the future.

If the damage isn't enough, it will definitely cause discomfort.

The damage is sufficient; decapitate them all!

Organize the backpack compartments and take out any extra cards.

He now has four more blue cards: Poison Bottle, Shrug, Pain, and the poisoned dagger he just saw.

Keep the poisoned dagger for now, and hold the other three in your hand while taking out the forbidden upgrade.

I can upgrade my card again, but which one should I upgrade to this time?

Before entering the prison, Chen Mo had already decided to upgrade his strength first, but after defeating the Shadow Assassin, Chen Mo felt that it would be better to upgrade his Blood Control Slash first.

As for other cards like those that enhance defense, they have to be put on the back burner. Chen Mo hesitated between these two cards.

After thinking for almost ten minutes, Chen Mo finally gritted his teeth and decided to upgrade the Bloodstained Slash first.

The Counterattack card is a risky card, and no one can say for sure what its specific enhancement effect will be. It might increase the window of opportunity for deflecting damage, or increase counterattack damage, or something like that; it's hard to say.

The effects of upgrading these cards are unpredictable and rely on luck. Chen Mo didn't want to gamble, so he decided to upgrade Bloodstained Slash first.

At the very least, the damage of Bloodthirst Slash will definitely be greatly increased.

Upgrade your card!

Three blue cards were used up.

Black mist swirled around it, and the Bloodstained Slash turned from blue to green.

Chen Mo watched it upgrade, feeling the card vibrate, as if he were experiencing the card's "life force".

A moment later, the upgrade was complete.

The image on the card changed, and the crimson sword energy transformed into a crescent moon that looked almost tangible.

Ultimate Blood Slash: Consumes 10 points of own health to unleash a super-powerful sword aura with an attack range of 30 meters, dealing 32 damage. Ultimate!

(Note: Ultimate cards can no longer be upgraded using the Golden Statue)

Chen Mo felt relieved when he saw the damage increase from 20 to 32.

You made the right bet!

It increased damage by a full 12 points—simple, brutal, and powerful.

The range has also increased by ten meters, so I'll be able to handle elite monsters like Shadow Assassins more easily in the future.

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction and put the card away.

Chen Mo opened the trading mall, preparing to buy himself some more items.

He's almost finished with the tomatoes and needs to eat more.

How about we splurge today and try our luck with another ten gold coins?

Just then, Chen Mo suddenly saw a message flooding the comments section of the trading mall.

"Boss, contact me, quick, quick, quick!"

Upon seeing this sentence, Chen Mo's first thought was of Lao Zhang.

Chen Mo immediately chose to make a deal with the other party, and the next moment, Old Zhang's face appeared in front of him.

"Haha, finally got in touch with you! Boss, how's it going? Got everything sorted out underground? I escaped, but I ran into that corrupted priest. He almost caught me. I'm hiding in the village now, it's so dangerous!"

Chen Mo knew something was wrong when he heard that he was hiding in the village.

After a moment's thought, Chen Mo said, "You go out of the village first and help me find the giant beast. I'll lend you this card for now."
