“Why are you flattering me again? They say you’re blessed if your partner is a pervert. You’re lucky, having such a virile lover. But honey? Don’t you think our flirting should end here?”f1bc30c3c9bf60f6

Playing around was one thing, but the dungeon was another. More importantly, the only way to truly land a blow on Dambi here was to use the bet. Jaein wouldn’t be satisfied until he saw Dambi defeated and humbled.e44dff1a3ed5d1aa

Ranatal Palace was b00a173402 a Baroque-style dungeon. Unlike other dungeons, it 92c93e2844 was characterized by large 9808dedccd and tall structures.

A truly skilled healer could deal up to 30% of a DPS’s damage, but that required good coordination from the entire party. The tank had to survive as long as possible, and the DPS had to move well to avoid unnecessary damage.3f276b3be5fd1f18

Assuming the 68248d9a02 tank and 592f3e5b51 healer followed f762f10232 instructions, Dambi 4d4eeee6b8 had to 5e6be85eaa rely solely 8895cedb46 on his ed2b3e62a5 own judgment, 0e5221904f yet he ef717c714e matched Jaein’s 23d528bd1f DPS again, f08d94f2ba without taking 2ecc95683a a single 8ada27ed1f hit.b83904f84b9090ea

In Blaze, up to four Konimon could be used in battle. One was fixed as a passive, and the other three could be swapped. After using a Konimon’s skill, it went on cooldown, so players switched to another Konimon and used its skills.d24fd9658fb21862

The problem was that d9a156c1fd only 5-star Konimon had 142a3958eb special abilities besides basic a56aeb1374 skills.
