“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?”118a626d7515ac45

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.d9a13edb38d02dfb

Ranatal Palace was 85a9893c1d a Baroque-style dungeon. Unlike other b2ce985057 dungeons, it 9576bbdd12 was characterized f2eb27732e by large 2d8df47993 and tall e342c7f682 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.8d7b0d7ee5ea22e6

Moreover, he was performing 793c041168 perfect interrupts.8e694c9fd82f336a

Since monsters didn’t auto-attack during skill casts, interrupting at the last moment relieved pressure on the tank. However, it was risky because the timing could be missed, and waiting for the cast could lower DPS, so it wasn’t commonly requested or done.b54c05d16e34061d
