33. The balance of the pantheon
#33. Scale of the pantheon
There are two scales on the balance.
People in the past used to measure weight through this.
There was also a purpose to determine whether one side was heavy or light, and another was to match the weight of the two objects.
The pattern of scales.
The perfect balance was drawn in this pattern.
What does that mean?
It meant that the scales should not tip.
If you put something on one scale, something corresponding to it must come up on the other scale.
– After a long wait, the scale has been opened.
Unknown screams echoed from the pattern.
The pattern of scales unfolded before my eyes. So far, it’s the same as the original. However… From this point on, a scene unfolded that I did not know.
‘Huh?’
The pattern slowly flew to me. Then, as if signaling to me, it shimmered. The patterns were converted into light and embroidered with letters.
[ We have confirmed that you have had a significant impact on the pattern’s opening. ]
[ It has been confirmed that all of the abilities of the Glyph, ‘The Balance of the Pantheon’ have been unlocked due to your influence. ]
[The pattern, ‘The Libra of the Pantheon’, searches you to pay you the right price. ]
… ….
[ Glyph, ‘The Scale of the Pantheon’ paid for the trait – ‘Observer’. ]
[ The tilted scale has regained equilibrium…. ]
“Crazy… What is this again?”
In an instant, letters were lined up in front of my eyes.
It was embarrassing to see such a sight for the first time, but what was even more absurd was the contents of it.
The Pantheon, the observer.
It was the first time I heard it.
It was not even mentioned in the original work.
‘The story has completely changed.’
In return, I helped Cynthia and handed over the highest level demon called Succubus Princess to a dying state. It wasn’t intended, though.
Anyway, what I did tipped the scales.
That’s too much.
Libra paid me to admit that and balance it.
Understood this far.
‘… Both 「The Scales of the Pantheon」 And 「The Observer」 Are patterns and characteristics that I have never heard of. Both in the novel and here.’
I was taken aback by something I couldn’t understand.
But I soon came to my senses. Anyway, since you decided to walk a different path from the original, weren’t you prepared for these things to happen?
It was also planned at the point of raising Cynthia. I shouldn’t have been too surprised.
‘Yes, let’s not be surprised. If you are surprised from now on, how will you handle it later? It’s good that I got the characteristics.’
It was an unexpected harvest. To be honest, I wanted to scream. Am I not an Awakener now?
Doesn’t acquiring a trait mean that I also have magic power, and with magic power I can now become stronger too?
I can’t feel the magic right now, but with time, I’ll be able to feel it and increase it.
‘But… Are the patterns still wriggling? What?’
[ Attribute, ‘Observer’ is used. ]
From noble mtl dot com
[ Because the target’s level is high, only some information can be obtained. ]
Suddenly, the newly acquired characteristics were used.
[ Balance of the Pantheon ]
▷[Type] : Pattern
▷[Information]: We are currently injecting the remnants of the succubus into Cynthia’s body.
“Oh….”
A hologram window popped up as if it were showing game information.
“But… Absorbing the remnants of a succubus… ? Will it be safe?”
The balance glowed pink and spread evenly throughout Cynthia’s body. And soon, changes began to occur in her body.
“… ?”
I thought I wanted to check on Cynthia’s condition.
Then again, a hologram appeared in front of my eyes.
[ Cynthia ]
▷[Race] : Human
▷[Features]: Long-lasting air, strong retardation, path of wind, balance of pantheon.
… ….
▷[Information]: We are currently preparing to bloom a new talent – ‘Succubus’ body’.
“What… ? What kind of crazy are you talking about that Shia blooms the body of a succubus?”
After a while, the contents of the column labeled [Information] Were reversed.
▷[Information]: Currently, a new talent – ‘Succubus’ body’ begins to bloom. Additionally, the soul of Succubus Illien is bound to the pattern….
Sia’s body became invisible, wrapped in pink light. Ten seconds to do so… There was nothing I could do, so I was waiting blankly. The light was slowly fading.
“Oh, hehehe. Hmm…. It’s grown a bit That’s what you said.”
Sia had become an adult. She’s getting a bit taller too. It got a little bigger here and there.
It was a different atmosphere from the future that became a shrine.
How can I say…. You got something s*xy
▷[Information]: Succubus Illien’s soul is bound to the pattern.
‘More than that… Illien’s soul belongs? I won’t tell you what happened to Sia… Ji? You should know what a soul state is, so you can feel it. Can this also be confirmed with the observer trait?’
I was trying to be specific about additional information. But, suddenly, a vibration occurred as some debris fell from the ceiling.
Deed Deed!!
The small vibration gradually increased its strength.
A huge vibration occurred in the 3 pyeong secret room.
When the succubus disappeared, it seemed that the closed room that had been expanded due to her demonia began to return to its original structure.
“Crazy… !”
I quickly picked up Cynthia and stood up.
I was going to check it because there was additional information, but I was on the verge of crushing it if I checked it now.
Chuck- Chuck-Chuck-
In an instant, the room returned to its original form.
I stood in the same position as when I first hugged Cynthia. A soft touch was felt on the chest.
‘… It’s tighter than the first one. No, I think I’m having trouble breathing.’
The lung area was being compressed too hard. Is this possible?
I couldn’t stand it, so I shook Cynthia and woke her up. It’s not the time for you to sleep either.
“Ah… hmm.”
“Siyah Sup. Wake up… Save me….”
“Huh?”
Responding to the request for help, Cynthia opened her eyes.
“Mister?”
“Uh… it’s me. I think I’m going to choke to death… ? He, what can you do?”
“That, I will… ? Hey, why did this suddenly grow… ?”
Cynthia looked down at her own torso, embarrassed. She wanted to explain, but she didn’t have much strength to speak.
“At least knock on the wall….”
“Ah… yes!”
Maybe if you knock on it, it will open.
To die from being pressed against the chest and not being able to breathe… No, I won’t die because I have the potion, but I will be taken to the hospital.
Then the doctor will ask.
-Why did you come to the hospital?
-I broke my ribs from being pressed against my chest.
-Ah… That’s right. All right.
-… ….
I imagined the conversation in my head. f*ck. There were exaggerated parts, but just being hurt by something like this was a bit like that.
“Huhhhhh… !”
[ Libra responds to Cynthia’s will. ]
A golden light was engraved on Cynthia’s body.
At that moment, Kwadeuk. I heard a voice saying It was the sound of cracks in the walls.
“Huh? Do… ! Uncle, be patient! It’s almost broken!”
I internally cheered for Cynthia.
And after a while.
Quad Deuk! Bang!
The wall collapsed.
‘Wow, that’s a surprise.’
The wall collapsed and debris flew out. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
‘Ah… It’s hard, it’s hard.’
But I was exhausted and couldn’t move anymore.
It was difficult just to hold on.
“Mister… I’m going to rest like this for a while….”
Cynthia must have had a hard time breaking down the wall, so she lay on top of me and didn’t move. The situation is almost over when you can’t even hear the monsters… For a moment….
‘They’re not coming here when things are almost over… ?’
I belatedly recognized the situation and tried to move her body. But I had no stamina. I used it up a while ago… In particular, the 1:1 battle with the succubus was great.
It was a fight without regret. I resigned myself to the sound of approaching footsteps. Although the bodyguards aren’t the ones to spread my story… It’s a bit… That’s right. That too with a child.
“… Hmm? What are you two doing there?”
“hehehehe. The two of you seem to be on good terms~ Maybe this was worthwhile?”
“Yes…”
I sighed.
But for some reason, a smile spread across Cynthia’s face above me.
It was a suspicious smile.
***
Cynthia broke up with Han Seong-jin after talking a few things. I wanted to have a longer conversation, but the sun was setting. Unfortunately, it was time to part.
‘Because we can talk about it next time we meet. Huh.’
She thought it would be okay because she had plenty of time even if it wasn’t today.
By the way, I had a problem to think about.
Right away, it was about the body.
“… Why did you suddenly change?”
She suddenly got taller and her breasts bigger. When I measured her overall size, her hips got bigger and her pelvis got bigger too…. Could she have become a little more feminine?
Cynthia was nice, but she felt embarrassed that she was suddenly like this.
‘No… Could this be an opportunity? Huh. Because he seems to like adults more than children like me! That…… She’s a girl who looks just like me in my dream… She seemed a bit more grown up overall….’
Cynthia hadn’t been able to define her feelings for Han Seong-jin until recently. But as of late, she has confirmed that she likes it.
‘… This midterm exam. No matter what happens, I’m going to get a high score and get a present from the man.’
She smiled quietly inwardly, imagining the gift she would receive from Han Seong-jin.
Time passed quickly.
Before I knew it, the time for midterms had arrived.
