Chapter 57: Duel Challenge from nyssa daughter
Inside the Cave
Lilith lay lazily across Zara’s thighs, her head resting with an almost feline satisfaction. A playful grin curled on her lips as she looked up at Zara.
Without warning, she sat up and pressed a soft kiss to Zara’s lips. Her tongue lightly traced the edge of Zara’s mouth, leaving a teasing warmth behind.
"Hmm... Zara," Lilith purred, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, "it’s training time. Let’s go back."
Zara blinked, her thoughts catching up to the present. As Lilith stood and extended a hand toward her, Zara took it instinctively. The warmth of Lilith’s fingers laced through hers, grounding her as they started walking down the narrow mountain path.
With a quiet breath, Zara whispered under her breath, "Sign in."
[Ding! Sign-in successful. Reward is being issued...]
[Sword Mastery: Grants the host enhanced mastery over sword-based weapons.]
[Power Upgrade: The host may select one system-granted spell to enhance in strength.]
Zara’s eyes widened slightly. A strange warmth surged through her limbs—her grip on her sword, her balance, her understanding of its weight and arc—it all felt sharper, instinctual, as if she had practiced for years.
Lilith, walking beside her, suddenly turned and glanced sideways. Her silver eyes narrowed with suspicion.
