Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

My greatsword pierces through armor; my divine might is unmatched.

With a single strike, Chen Mo felled the Shadow Guardian to the ground.

The Shadow Guardian, having taken several hits, seemed to be on the verge of collapse. It had underestimated Chen Mo's health; even with a blood-trading strategy, Chen Mo was still stronger than it.

Without its ultimate move, it was directly hammered by Chen Mo, and after several rounds of back-and-forth attacks, the Shadow Guardian was the first to fall.

But Chen Mo didn't feel like he had won, because experience told him that boss monsters like this usually have a second stage.

Sure enough, the Shadow Guardian, whose health should have been depleted, suddenly shrank into a ball, its entire body of brass scales forming an "egg"—an egg covered in spikes!

Is it a skill?

Reborn?

Chen Mo immediately rushed forward and swung his sword.

The sword struck the egg, but the egg didn't budge. Chen Mo, however, lost ten points of health and felt like he'd been punched again.

Chen Mo immediately sensed something was extremely wrong—an uninterrupted rebirth?

What's the difference between that and being invincible?

Forcing himself to calm down, Chen Mo felt that the other party's rebirth could not possibly be so abnormal.

If it were truly invincible, it wouldn't have been captured by that corrupt priest and soaked in a pool of blood.

It has weaknesses, it definitely has weaknesses.

The most likely way is that its rebirth also has a health bar, and the opponent's rebirth will not be interrupted until the health bar is depleted.

Chen Mo almost instantly thought of the skeleton monsters on the second floor.

The skeleton's immortality and the Shadow Guardian's rebirth seem to have a similar effect.

Having thought of this, Chen Mo no longer hesitated and activated his ultimate blood energy once more.

Once the ability value is fully restored, the damage continues to increase.

Chen Mo quickly opened the panel and glanced at his health bar, which was already very low.

He must smash the egg in front of him as quickly as possible, or he will have to run away.

Ultimate Blood Slash Double Strike!

Two sword energies shot out and struck the egg.

With the damage Chen Mo has stacked up, each of his Blood Slashes deals at least sixty damage.

The two Blood Slashes, each dealing over 120 damage, finally cracked countless fissures in the eggshell.

Sure enough, the eggshell couldn't be invincible.

Chen Mo's choice was also correct. If he had used a normal attack, the reflected damage would have wiped out his health.

You have to use Blood Slash, at least Blood Slash won't be countered.

With only a little ability points left, Chen Mo did not choose to use Ultimate Blood Energy again, because his remaining health was not enough to support him to use Blood Energy and Blood Slash in a double combo.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo used the giant sword transformation one last time.

The final armor-piercing attack will either kill you or I will escape.

drink!

The greatsword slashed horizontally, striking the egg heavily.

With a loud bang, the egg shattered, all the brass scales crumbled, revealing clumps of black gas inside.

The rebirth was interrupted, and the black energy emitted a piercing shriek, clearly preparing for a desperate fight.

A whirlwind immediately appeared on its body!

Chen Mo's pupils contracted. With his remaining health, he would surely die if he ate the storm. Without hesitation, Chen Mo threw a bottle of potion at the black mist.

His final potion was also the key to repairing the damage.

Shadow Potion: When thrown, it deals 5 damage over time to the target.

boom!

The potion hit the black aura, and the next moment, as if it had been doused with hot water, the black aura on its body quickly dissipated.

Chen Mo then quickly retreated, creating distance between them.

He wasn't foolish enough to rush in and attack with his sword, because he wasn't sure if the opponent's counter-damage was still active. Maintaining distance would also allow him to defend against the opponent's storm attack.

But the situation seemed better than Chen Mo had imagined; the black energy had no way to interrupt the potion's effects. It didn't have any recovery potions or similar items to use.

As the black aura diminished, it lost its ability to unleash a whirlwind.

Under Chen Mo's watchful gaze, the black mist rapidly dissipated, the shrieking sound gradually subsided, and finally, the black mist vanished completely without a trace, leaving behind the sound of gold coins colliding.

it's over!

Chen Mo only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the Shadow Guardian was completely dead.

This boss monster was indeed quite strong, and there was a lot of luck involved in defeating it. Putting everything else aside, Chen Mo felt very fortunate just to have avoided taking the storm's fatal attack. Old Zhang deserves praise for this, as he did take the fatal attack damage, after all.

Number one in terms of damage resistance!

Slowly, Chen Mo stepped forward to see what the Shadow Guardian could drop for him.

You don't really need to look at the cards first; the key is that the boss monster drops equipment.

Based on Chen Mo's experience, equipment has a higher priority than potions, which in turn have a higher priority than regular cards.

Moreover, in terms of scarcity, equipment is the most difficult to obtain.

Ok?

What about the equipment?

Chen Mo looked closely at the ground and found that the boss monster only dropped gold coins and cards.

Just when he thought he was out of luck, he suddenly saw the leader monster's broken brass scales quickly reassemble.

Chen Mo was stunned, thinking that the Shadow Guardian was still alive and that the resurrection skill was still in effect, so he immediately raised his sword and shield.

But the next moment, these brass scales reassembled, glowing as they transformed into a full suit of armor.

This is... equipment?

Chen Mo stepped forward to examine it closely and indeed found the equipment name and effects written on the soles of the armor.

Brass Armor: Defense 10, Wearable.

Chen Mo felt his heart skip a beat.

Wearable equipment? Powerful stats!

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo first put it into the equipment slot.

The entire suit of armor was stuffed into the equipment slot as if it had no weight, and the defense 10 was immediately activated.

Then, Chen Mo took them out again and tried to put them on himself one by one.

He wanted to see if wearing it would work.

Hmm, the armor is the right weight, not much heavier than normal clothes. There are some patterns inside that I can't understand, let's just assume they're magic patterns.

It allows for free movement with almost no joint restrictions, and jumping is not restricted.

It's a pity he didn't have a helmet, otherwise he would have looked even cooler.

Sigh, even wearing it takes up an equipment slot, it really doesn't give you any room to maneuver.

Chen Mo tapped his shield twice, making a loud banging sound.

A good-sounding nail is a good nail, no doubt about it!

After walking around twice, Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

A very fruitful harvest!

Fighting the boss monster was definitely the right thing to do.

To fight any oddity, to grab any card, to be adept at both offense and defense – that's the style of a card master… no, I mean a card player!

With a grin, Chen Mo went to collect the cards and coins dropped by the boss monster.

Yes, a green card.

There were no surprises; Chen Mo would only start cursing if they didn't give him a green card.

The front of the card has a bunch of spikes, and the back describes the effect.

Bloodthorns: Reflects 10 damage from melee attacks for one hour.

(Note: The damage reflection effect ignores defense.)

Counter-damage card?

Chen Mo frowned slightly. This card was neither particularly strong nor weak; it was a decent "replenishment card."

In other words, if your stats are high enough, you can use this card to boost your output and damage.

The only uncertainty is whether this card can benefit from the Tear effect.

If the increased damage from the Tear effect could also apply to this card, it would be very strong.
