Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

First, pick up the potion, the small purple bottle.

Weakness Potion: When thrown and hits a target, it inflicts a weakness effect.

(Note: Weakness will reduce all damage dealt by the opponent.)

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Good potion, very useful!"

Especially since it reduces all damage dealt to the opponent, not just weapon damage, that's incredibly useful.

It's just that it doesn't clearly state how much it will reduce. Like the dizziness and other effects, it's probably determined by the strength of the monster.

The more powerful the monster, the faster the potion's effects will wear off, and the milder the effects will be.

But no matter what, as long as it works!

Chen Mo was quite satisfied with this harvest after putting it into the medicine container.

Pick up the cards and coins again. The blue card has a picture of three daggers on the front.

Blade Dance: Summons three daggers. Each dagger deals 4 damage upon hitting an enemy, with a range of 10 meters.

This card looks good, and the damage is decent, but it requires accurate throws, which isn't Chen Mo's strong suit. If it were Lao Zhang, he might really appreciate this card.

By the way, Old Zhang hasn't returned the poisoned dagger card he lent him yet.

Next time I see him, I'll exchange this one with him.

Chen Mo put the card away and then looked up at the main gate of Flying Dragon City.

The towering city walls are entirely constructed of black rock. Some damage adds to their weathered appearance.

Just by looking at the main gate, you can tell that this city is no ordinary place; it exudes an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Chen Mo stepped into the main gate, his pace slowing. Although the main gate was wide open, for some reason, Chen Mo felt a sense of danger.

Looking carefully left and right, I didn't find any monsters.

But there were dents in the ground, as if it had been hit by something.

Chen Mo frowned, then slowly raised the Black Scale Shield in front of him.

Halfway through the city gate passage, Chen Mo suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking.

boom!

The heavy object struck the shield, sending sparks flying.

Chen Mo was forced to retreat immediately after being struck, and nearly fell backward to the ground.

After seeing what it was, Chen Mo was horrified.

Crossbow bolts!

Steel crossbow bolts!

It is several meters long and thicker than an arm.

This single strike deals at least 40 damage, making it an absolute dragon-shooting crossbow!

Chen Mo quickly rolled and clung to the wall to avoid the arrows, but sure enough, more crossbow bolts came flying in the next moment.

He squinted to look, but couldn't find the archer anywhere. He couldn't tell if it was a trap or a monster.

Chen Mo only knew that it would be difficult to advance now. It was all over. No wonder Feilong could only guard the entrance. There was such a powerful weapon inside.

The senior was right, never go through the main entrance!

It's not too late to regret it now; you can always go back and choose a different path.

Chen Mo had no intention of forcing his way forward. Judging from the current situation, as long as the enemy had enough crossbow bolts, it would be useless for him to fight his way in.

He didn't think his agility was good enough to prevent the opponent from hitting him with a single arrow. If he were hit by just one arrow, he would likely be hit by a volley of arrows and die instantly.

Chen Mo hadn't forgotten that even a skeleton archer on the second floor had a rapid-fire skill.

Chen Mo immediately tried to back away and exit through the main gate.

But then, a familiar voice came from the wall next to them.

"Dear cardholder, this way, come this way!"

Chen Mo turned his head and was shocked to see an old acquaintance, the White-haired Rat Thief.

The white-haired rat waved repeatedly, and Chen Mo didn't think much of it, so he flipped over and jumped over.

The white-haired rat led Chen Mo into the wall, where there was actually another hidden wall.

Who would have thought that there would be hidden walls in the city gate passageway?

Upon entering, they found themselves in a small room. The white-haired rat walked to the innermost part and then distanced itself from Chen Mo.

Chen Mo only relaxed a little after confirming that the man had no intention of stealing his things and that no monsters were chasing after him.

"Respected cardholder, you've finally arrived on the tenth floor! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The white-haired mouse bowed and said.

Chen Mo quickly replied, "It hasn't been that long, has it?"

The white-haired mouse continued, "It may not be a long time for you, but for me, I've been waiting for you here for years."

"What?"

Chen Mo looked puzzled. Several years?

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't quite understand, the white-haired rat immediately explained, "The time on each floor is calculated separately, and your own time is also calculated separately, so you may not have felt how long it has been. But actually, after I left the second floor, I came straight here to wait for you, and you've finally arrived."

Chen Mo still didn't quite understand, so he asked again, "Then how long exactly did I stay inside the tower?"

The white-haired rat replied, "However long you feel is how long it is. As I just said, your time is calculated separately. It has nothing to do with us, nor with other cardholders."

Chen Mo frowned, still not completely clear, but he didn't intend to dwell on this issue any longer, because there were other problems.

"How did you know I would come here? Is there only one tenth floor?"

"Of course, there is more than one tenth floor, but you can only come to this tenth floor, because there is authority here, and you, esteemed Cardholder, possess a fragment of that authority. Authority attracts authority to authority, and they will form the path of destiny, guiding your progress."

Chen Mo listened with a vague understanding, only then remembering that the white-haired rat had said on the second floor that the tenth floor held the authority of the gods.

Oh right, I almost forgot about something so important.

Do powers attract each other?

That means that as he progresses through the levels, other powers will appear.

Among an infinite number of identical layers, enter the one that has authority!

Chen Mo remained silent for a moment, processing the information.

He didn't think this was a good thing; he believed it was telling him that his "game difficulty" was much higher than others.

It's like when you're on the first floor, everyone else has a guide, but he only has himself.

However, it's impossible for him to give up.

Whether it's the forbidden upgrade or the forbidden curse in his hands, these are cards he can't possibly give up.

After a long silence, Chen Mo finally spoke again, "What exactly is the authority of the tenth level? Tell me now!"

The white-haired mouse rubbed its hands together and answered softly, "I...I don't know either."

"you do not know?"

Chen Mo frowned deeply.

"I've tried my best to investigate, but I haven't found anything. There's a statue deep inside the city, but I can't get close. I only know that the authority must be here. Great Card, you must take it. It's the key to ending all of this. We must not continue to sink into this."

The white-haired mouse became more and more agitated as it spoke, and in the end, it looked like it was about to cry.

Chen Mo also sighed. After all these years, he still hadn't found anything.

Never mind, he won't make things difficult for the white-haired rat.

After a moment, Chen Mo said, "Then tell me everything you know. Including the location of the statues and the distribution of the various monsters, the more detailed the better."

The white-haired rat immediately replied, "No problem, Cardholder, I'm all prepared, esteemed Cardholder. Here's a map I drew, please take a look!"
