Capítulo 96: Battleground Inferno    

Xin's response was quick. "Don't worry. You won't engage them until we're at a disadvantage."

Hilda's lips curved into a playful grin. "Good. While I don't mind a weak opponent, I'm not exactly aiming for a massacre here."

Her words contradicted her expression, her grin revealing that she was imitating what Tristan said a while ago.

Xin's focus remained on the impending battle, his thoughts dominated by the rules laid down by the system.

True to the regulation, his inventory's contents were temporarily off-limits, locked in obsidian hues that hinted at their unavailability.

Xin couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the sight of Hilda standing ready for battle.
