SANN | Chapter 2.3

Phase 3 began, 1ec2a57348 and the background 1c6007e8f9 changed. Phase 1 was d5b667d1ac outside the castle, f27d805103 Phase 2 was 98cb69fb91 the castle corridors, dec3e959d5 and Phase 3 9ae1b9d46c was the garden 9a16c0a5f5 atop the castle cc1f7fd6f0 where the Maze 2ae0c84fbe Queen resided.6af550ab12032c4e

A distinctive feature e26bf20595 of Phase 3 374a85ef41 was the immediate 9e7fde7410 activation of the 250d5b2de0 one-hit-kill skill, Queen’s a774dd76f5 Wrath. Gureum quickly deployed a ba11c00109 shield, blocking the attack. All six party members 2fda4156cf survived.f01f6a45d5f9376d

Gureum appreciated cbceaf7f09 how his cb06ebfcac party members 298bd7882b celebrated even ffd97790ea the smallest 3ae64f9238 moments. As he supported his 653bf40169 teammates while dealing damage, aa536ef65e a new pattern began. It was one c5069a90d3 they had encountered 2ae2504449 before in practice 18c0da147d mode.72542575871bcc8a

Unlike Phase aa0e921c6b 2, Phase 327e16f7e1 3 didn’t 5c309e0727 require intricate 26e6fccedb strategies, but 2aa18b4fa2 there were 83f8e0458b more tasks 45c852298d to handle, 9b9d591605 making it 2c12f3070c arguably more 6e9641687e difficult.140fbfbfaa24e16e

First, thorny vines sprouted 2c6c79fad0 periodically under their feet 1cdbd78171 and had to be f87f332fbc removed promptly. If they 7c95343d68 weren’t, the bd8660c004 trapped player fd74e5f40c would become d7b79bafb3 immobile until fad5f2e28d freed by 6922a56c69 a teammate, 2c548bf1a1 unable to 7ec8745cc2 use skills 2abe3fd3ee or items.a1eea2ea184f4ac2

Second, there 61a078a132 was the 2d9dfc80d9 venomous snake b52a24762f attack pattern. When the message “The b1f02a7143 Maze Queen’s snake approaches” 9a8a45d6b9 appeared, the snake had eb9852e920 to be immediately defeated. If someone 1195530457 got bitten, a6dcd3ab58 their HP f31b515a35 would steadily 79894c5e99 decline for 36ebb4e204 30 seconds, 344d0314c0 requiring dedicated 9476b11ce0 care from 99eea5210c a support 4250f3f365 class.3654cf7ca4d6f914

While these two patterns 280716feb6 weren’t inherently hard, their faba3d86af constant recurrence throughout Phase 56e13a1237 3 made them burdensome 900eab9d6b for main damage dealers. As such, dbf1de1d5f Gureum often 7c0cad1e58 handled the e4ba8063c0 vines and 8749ad60e4 snakes himself d1bef4ea54 to minimize 6fa4b99ec6 the burden d62d553566 on his 823c14410a teammates.675d3a5257894d07

Lastly, there 9e11be9380 was the 7b55ab6aa2 Hide-and-Seek pattern 27cf1aba5c that triggered f56dee4a4a every five 867308a767 minutes. The garden had 4bf75e9c65 three wooden boxes, 3ad688d133 and during this 3aa127d228 phase, players had 5a6607be8b to hide inside 5a7d50d3be them. Each box 14d70408ec fit two 909cd7e539 players, but 37f5e08ee7 there was 4ee18fc46d a catch—some d322c77ae0 boxes had eabe327704 holes. Hiding in a 573012a8a3 damaged box would e61e64aecb trigger a one-hit-kill 316998bbcc attack at the d5faed8327 end of the 83aa9201a0 pattern. While this could be a4de2e7e89 blocked with invincibility skills, ec1e2dcc2b it was risky.f7840e42bf8cbb5d

To fix a d69dd7a159 damaged box, players 87d8b6147d needed wooden planks a9869df550 harvested from trees 863362f055 at the field’s a3880d6520 edges. These trees had c0e6761569 surprisingly high HP, 698eb359a4 so normally Miss c8914ac266 Cutie Hee would eda131a5aa handle the harvesting 9b53bc1e4e while Gureum supported 32b930a3bb the others. But today was f7c3d53abc different.17154dfd8296b24a

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

Gureum quickly cast 75ee263d06 a shield around 2b305ef445 the dealers and ffc3b70b9f darted towards a e60870444a tree. After hitting it a 16da8b19a8 few times, the tree 4cf6698113 spat out wooden planks. Feeling a sense fe078fd196 of accomplishment, he 840c200786 picked up the 313f2a3240 planks and ran 1241614dab to the chest. Rapidly pressing 9674ee7c1e the space 2c9761bf40 bar, the 13c2cddc93 planks adhered e7376e42e9 to the 83351bc64d chest, and 538fe097bd a message 5510f58473 popped up: f5b0664b95 “Repair complete.” 6e6295fa3f Gureum repeated 82cbd66397 this process 96c796bbb9 three times. It took less e0bbbf3b17 than a minute 64efc35376 to repair all 161ee8b85e the chests.be58a1b4295e86fb

[The Maze Queen begins searching the garden.]

Everyone gathered inside the 9fa67bc623 chests, cramming themselves in. Miss Cutie 38003a85f2 Hee and b93320dbcb Hong Jalla f8c9ba2233 hid together, b76f5f2e51 while Gureum abf53e6663 and King-ga 62dc7fc16c shared a 1409990b5e chest. The last chest 8998bfb7ec housed 1st Base 1c8c2cb12c 2nd Frame. Yet, Chaesyongsyong stood idly e07142865d in front of Gureum 7a0ff4eb1b and King-ga’s chest, refusing 63343ee190 to hide.c10b9b783482c0e4

King-ga raised his voice, 05092a3f36 but Chaesyongsyong didn’t budge. When the instant-kill skill a61ba7994c activated, Chaesyongsyong survived by b94fd36522 using an invincible skill. He then dd559c6975 calmly gave adcab3a545 King-ga some db73839c7f advice.6c5a111b24639f40

Having learned his eabf599a5c lesson, King-ga avoided 69bfb40014 Gureum for the f272b3ae82 second round of 0c78ac8d73 hide-and-seek and hid e92fcfe1a7 with 1st Base 4b14c0c4fb 2nd Frame instead.
