SANN | Chapter 2.3

Phase 3 c01b3561b4 began, and e8ed5b013c the background 6575deb48e changed. Phase 1 a10bd7c934 was outside a6e5db486d the castle, 2bf2e8b240 Phase 2 b63d609e87 was the 16db30e455 castle corridors, 52a3b8c566 and Phase 4c7523a93d 3 was 321afdc444 the garden b4ea04d8a1 atop the 579afcd46b castle where d2cea4fad8 the Maze 8858f99fa8 Queen resided.5f8175b976f86483

A distinctive feature of 55ea38773e Phase 3 was the c21d40bb39 immediate activation of the 1d4c26c7ee one-hit-kill skill, Queen’s Wrath. Gureum quickly deployed a 608c9a1d26 shield, blocking the attack. All six party b5ca63a4a1 members survived.1d63e49e6ca896df

Gureum appreciated how his b0f05802b8 party members celebrated even 856413fc7f the smallest moments. As he 614c4098da supported his fc2622236c teammates while 4aa0f4122f dealing damage, 6cfaa27edd a new fe2c3eecea pattern began.

Unlike Phase 2, e52d026013 Phase 3 didn’t 876d4680fc require intricate strategies, 0dcc9d72f7 but there were cd5522cc9f more tasks to 206d590b2e handle, making it c9363ce0eb arguably more difficult.d2d6b95aed9d79d4

First, thorny vines 02802e9a1f sprouted periodically under e6f10d9c5d their feet and 17d809ace6 had to be b818b0e321 removed promptly. If they weren’t, bbc62e8e03 the trapped player 04e4b3a771 would become immobile c206f9aacb until freed by 5ebe244da8 a teammate, unable 11015af8eb to use skills a7189ce640 or items.130de233c1d73afb

Second, there a660c1924f was the 69b64f09bd venomous snake 74f1f28d1d attack pattern. When the a4e95159cb message “The f5f9d0adac Maze Queen’s 613c90a0bb snake approaches” 6f965619a6 appeared, the 7c3526daf6 snake had e5903b4ddc to be 0a25ab8f7f immediately defeated. If someone got b40043983b bitten, their HP b4c77763e2 would steadily decline 2935a50362 for 30 seconds, b9f023840b requiring dedicated care 4d0bd4ae1d from a support 773409aa47 class.f96e69a25e23b7aa

While these a980a174d7 two patterns 85de97564e weren’t inherently f473ec040c hard, their cc6d24543a constant recurrence 3cb2c45fd0 throughout Phase 952ccca73c 3 made 7cc467b7e9 them burdensome 0bc6558af2 for main b4d71d3cc2 damage dealers. As such, d1c3125279 Gureum often bac3e322ac handled the 8c5aa0f55e vines and f8eb9b8f97 snakes himself d57da07888 to minimize a70e702e9b the burden a2b44c5e21 on his 3577cafaab teammates.0cc6a5155a272b81

Lastly, there was the 101b27f6dd Hide-and-Seek pattern that triggered 651ca02499 every five minutes. The garden had three ea73e8615a wooden boxes, and during 3e1fed838b this phase, players had c2d3001c32 to hide inside them. Each box fit two 27cc00bdf7 players, but there was 1c0d05cf22 a catch—some boxes had a3e5dfb788 holes. Hiding in a damaged 75c17feafa box would trigger a 296dd88386 one-hit-kill attack at the 5e2528f9c4 end of the pattern. While this 288294ece1 could be 0a4d4c8a13 blocked with 90f7615cac invincibility skills, 6a1e993baf it was f6b2fef3b6 risky.bcdc1e4f734ac94f

To fix a f0ceb67b09 damaged box, players 74061d2a68 needed wooden planks fa82e61f7a harvested from trees 14b1abd76b at the field’s 032c09cec4 edges. These trees 654194ee0f had surprisingly cc107948ff high HP, 339fd779da so normally 85a01b3424 Miss Cutie 4f41c42d87 Hee would 432eeee47c handle the e2b4b63d40 harvesting while bcc4401bc9 Gureum supported 1a8a65d9a1 the others. But today was 6e2dfc4f77 different.89447e62125db6b4

[Party] hazeee: Miss Cutie Hee! I’ll gather the planks this time.
[Party] Miss Cutie Hee: Okay~ ㅇㅅㅇ/

Gureum quickly cast a 7e0be1982b shield around the dealers 4eaa08421a and darted towards a c5304a192d tree. After hitting it 026b449222 a few times, a3b1b0e92f the tree spat c34a0acbaa out wooden planks. Feeling a sense of 38582afff5 accomplishment, he picked up 29eb2aa357 the planks and ran 6a44755f40 to the chest. Rapidly pressing the space 2890bef5fb bar, the planks adhered 8441ea674d to the chest, and 3ea9ab5440 a message popped up: 93f5774abb “Repair complete.” Gureum repeated 403d2a4166 this process three times. It took less 0a2c4cd226 than a minute 8358c1ca84 to repair all 3990fd4b60 the chests.6499735f1363b900

Everyone gathered inside the 3a7d41a0c7 chests, cramming themselves in. Miss Cutie Hee f1a32af7d9 and Hong Jalla a68487e450 hid together, while 1b0e8829ae Gureum and King-ga ae583acb1b shared a chest. The last chest housed aa1eeeb6b9 1st Base 2nd Frame.
