章節 331: Chapter 331 - Yu Shao Yan's Dilemma

'.....' The system's nonsensical chatter had finally gotten under Ryuk's skin once more.

For a brief moment, he considered the possibility of clarifying things in a way the system might actually comprehend.

However, given how the system adapted to his abilities with each passing day, always managing to escape his grasp after he subdued it, he ultimately concluded it was wiser to simply ignore it.

"Ugh..."

A sudden wince caught his attention, prompting Ryuk to turn to Esme.

She was completely focused on Yu Shao Yan, her expression a clear indicator of the mental strain she was enduring.

It was obvious that her condition was worsening under the tremendous pressure she faced.

With the heightened vulnerability of everyone nearby, concern washed over Ryuk; this news was far from reassuring.

He felt utterly drained, and the burden of needing to protect Esme while preparing to confront that woman once again weighed heavily on his mind.
