The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 217 - 50% of total power... want to Fight
Chapter 217: 50% of total power... want to Fight
I was sent home again, but it’s obvious that I didn’t leave at a disadvantage, I spread "rats" throughout the vampire city area, hundreds of shadow rats, Grimm is suspicious.
She said she "loves" me, but her gaze at me was not just love, to begin with, there’s no way to say what the love of a being like Grimm is like, so I had to be cautious.
I appeared at the castle gate, soon I see several servants running through the castle as if looking for something, soon some notice me and start warning others while Lilith quickly appears.
"Your Majesty! Are you alright? You disappeared, we were worried," Lilith, Nix, and Chaos speak at the same time.
"I...just went out to clear my head."
’All I managed to steal from Grimm’s room was a book.’ I look at the book hidden in my shadow.
"Lilith, could you tell me more about the vampire queen?"
"...You...it’s okay, Your Majesty, but unfortunately we don’t know much about her, only that she is older than us, has her own kingdom, and lives in a system of total monarchy."
"Lilith, do you think this book could be useful?" I show the book to Lilith and then send it back to the shadows.
"...This book seems to be a book of magic, but its magic is strange. Where did you get it?"
"...It was a gift from Grimm, she wanted to deliver it to me in person. In any case, the guests have left, right? I no longer feel their mana."
"Yes, everyone has already left since they are also quite busy...Your Majesty, you were kidnapped by the vampire queen, had sex with her, stole this book, and then came back, right?" Lilith deduces and says it correctly.
’...What a wonderful deduction.’
"What gave it away?"
"You smell of blood and the scent of Grimm, the vampire queen."
"...I see, Lilith, I ended up marrying Grimm in a political marriage."
"Any plans?" Lilith asks while I give a malicious smile.
"Yes, I’ll take full advantage of this marriage. Prepare the papers to extort the vampire queen, get as much as possible from her." I saw Grimm’s colors, besides her unhealthy love, there were other emotions not so pleasant.
In addition to a clear murderous intent at times, as if she was questioning whether to kill me or not, I may have shrunk, but I didn’t become an idiot.
’Probably when my adolescent phase is over, I’ll get stronger...I need to become stronger, greater threats are emerging...’
"Lilith, could you send a letter to the mermaids for me? I need Delphina to deliver some magic books...and where is Zephyra?"
"She’s in your room, and she got worried that you had disappeared and ended up missing your birthday party. Of course, we covered up your disappearance, so only a few in the castle know you were gone."
’Damn Grimm...’ She messed up my party, I’ll leave it as is and teleport to my room. I want to go back to the academy, but I can’t go back as a child.
’I need to send a message to the pocket universe as well...’ Arriving at my room, I see Zephyra lying on my bed, looking at the ceiling.
"I’m back, dear." I say that more as a joke, as if I had just gone to work, and Zephyra quickly gets up and comes to me.
"Were you worried?"
"Yes, I was very worried...but I knew you were alive." Zephyra responds while looking at my body.
"I can imagine so." She knew because she is also alive, my life is no longer just mine, if I die, she will die too.
"You were with...another woman, weren’t you?" She speaks like a true wife, as if she knew exactly, I feel slightly wrong, as if I had "cheated" even though she has already accepted that I will have others in my life.
"Yes, I also got married, although it’s more of a political move." I don’t love Grimm and she knows it, the marriage was more to obtain the bodies of the other Demon Kings.
I think I came out on top, given that I discovered what my gluttony buff does and gained some useful characteristics.
"Pandora, you’ve gotten involved in something dangerous again, haven’t you..." She says correctly, I was really in danger since Grimm is not trustworthy and the way she loves is questionable.
"I won’t give you a present anymore, you understand why, right? Or are you going to force me to do it?" Zephyra speaks with courage, although her hand trembles with a little fear.
’Tsk...’
"Okay, ..." I won’t force her to sex, I know well why she is denying it, it’s really amazing to see her worrying about my safety and even trying to confront me about it.
In the beginning, it was unthinkable for Zephyra to be concerned about my safety and even try to confront me about it.
"Zephyra...I’m sorry." I apologize, leaving Zephyra with a shocked expression.
"I’m not an insensitive monster, Zephyra, I didn’t mean to worry you so much, especially now that I’m slightly weakened by going through this phase change."
"I was irresponsible, I admit, but my life is simply surrounded by dangers." And I become stronger with danger, there’s not much I can do, my life will always be surrounded by danger until I kill all my enemies.
"Pandora, promise me one thing...that you’ll always win."
"I won’t promise the impossible, Zephyra, I’m someone who only speaks what I can fulfill." I’m not invincible, I can be killed at any moment.
"..."
"I promise that I will fight to the fullest, that I will crush my enemies until none are left, I will humiliate them, I will torture them and make them go through hell." I promise her that instead of the previous promise.
"Hahaha That’s the kind of promise you’d normally make." Zephyra bursts out laughing, she comes to me and hugs me.
"Okay, I’ll accept that for now...y-you’re growing." Zephyra says in surprise as my body begins to grow, I notice that I’m getting taller while Zephyra puts me on the ground.
I’m probably growing faster than expected from having tasted Grimm’s body, as Grimm has as much power as a goddess, she supplied the nutrients and magic I needed to grow.
Who would have thought that that strange psychopath would inadvertently help me, although I wanted to enjoy the cuteness of my small form more, I’m eager to see how I’ll turn out.
My size slowly grows and in 2 minutes I’m in a much more mature form, I’m 168 centimeters tall with a medium to large bust and more defined features.
My appearance is that of a 10/10 beauty with a mature physique, but still in the 18-19 year old phase, so not too mature.
"Z-Zephyra, are you okay?" Zephyra falls to her knees while putting her hand on her throat as if she can’t breathe properly, I notice that it’s my new power leaking and quickly stop it.
She takes a deep breath and wipes the tears.
"...Y-You got really strong hahaha." Zephyra tries to lighten the mood.
"What did you feel?" My new aura leaked from my body and was already able to do this to Zephyra, showing that if I purposefully release this aura, I can incapacitate common opponents.
"I...couldn’t breathe, it was heavy, as if I was being crushed..." Zephyra speaks as a status opens for me, I focus on looking at only the numbers that indicate my current power.
[System warning, you have just reached the magic and nutrients necessary to completely change phases, now the individual known as Demon King Pandora has become a teenager and managed to release 50% of her total power.]
Power = 49,999/49,999 (99,999/99,999) Sealed
Life = 49,999/49,999 (99,999/99,999) Sealed
Stamina = 49,999/49,999 (99,999/99,999) Sealed
Resistance = 49,999/49,999 (99,999/99,999) Sealed
Magic = 49,999/49,999 (99,999/99,999) Sealed
Total = 249,995/249,995 (499,995/499,995) Sealed
’50%...I feel strong...very strong...’ The whole world seems more fragile in my vision, I feel like I can even fight Lilith and win.
In fact, I feel strong enough to fight Mikael, I have to hold back the urge to laugh like a madwoman, I don’t want to scare Zephyra.
’I need to test this...and then I’ll go to the academy, and at the academy I’ll ask to be a teacher, my level is far above that of a student, and as a teacher I can enjoy the restricted section of the library.’
I touch my new beautiful breasts, although my clothes tore because of the larger size, so I’m naked, I strike a pose for Zephyra.
"What do you think, my love? Aren’t I beautiful?" I loved the change, I got a little bigger in all aspects and became someone even more beautiful than I expected, I can hardly wait to become an adult.
"Yes...you’re so beautiful like this." Zephyra speaks timidly, avoiding eye contact, soon I notice that Elena, Lilith, Nix, Chaos, and Calypso came here probably because of the oppressive aura I accidentally released.
"Tell me what you want." My tone has a strange coldness to me, a moment ago it was a loving tone with Zephyra, but suddenly it became cold when I spoke to the others.
’It changed...’ My voice is very beautiful, but this coldness is chilling even for me.
"Your Majesty, we came to congratulate you on your ’awakening’ and to inform you that some damage has occurred in the castle and the city, but it is already being repaired."
"...Okay..."
’I don’t care...I want to test...I really want to test how strong I am.’ My monstrous instincts scream to go out and kill something or engage in some violent act.
"Lilith, how about a duel?" I’ve always wanted to see Lilith’s true form, she’s a hydra, so fighting her seems like it will be fun, although she doesn’t have control over her true form.
"Your Majesty...are you sure about this?" Lilith questions through the door.
"Absolutely, let’s fight on some island in the ocean, I’m sure Delphina won’t mind."
"Your Majesty...is this choice of yours rational...or just a desire to kill..."
"Does it matter?"
"If it’s just a desire to kill, then you’re losing control and should see that before you end up accidentally killing your queen." I look at Zephyra, she was affected by my aura, but Lilith doesn’t know that she can’t die.
’...’
"Tsk...fine, I’ll be more careful, but I still want a duel."
’She’s right...’ My first reaction to this new power was to seek a fight, I know it’s the fault of my race, but I must be more patient.
"Zephyra, my love, don’t worry, I’ll be more careful." I hug her, rubbing my breasts against hers on purpose while kissing her cheek, I know Zephyra can’t die.
Since she can’t die, but still feels pain, and I don’t want to cause unnecessary pain for her.
"Pandora, your gaze seems even more obsessed than before, I know, but it’s okay, I love you too, don’t worry, you can go, but don’t hurt yourself too much." Zephyra murmurs in my ear.
"Pandora." Lilith invades the room and calls me Pandora instead of Your Majesty, her pupils expand and contract like a wild beast sighting a target.
"...I see...hehehe you’re also eager for this." It’s obvious that she also wants this, not as a king and a servant training, but as two monsters fighting to test their strength.
"How long has it been since you fought seriously, Lilith?" I ask her as I release Zephyra.
"A few millennia...I hate having to hold back, sometimes I just want to let loose and destroy everything." She speaks with honesty and without the polite tone she normally uses.
She is also a monster and is now barely holding back the urge to fight like me.
"Then Lilith, let’s see who has the sharpest fangs." Lilith’s aura leaks out like mine, we are provoking each other as a reflex.
"Yes, then don’t get mad if my fangs are the sharpest, Pandora." Lilith begins to activate teleportation magic.
"Zephyra, cheer for me, my love, I know I should avoid unnecessary dangers...but I need this fight."
"...Okay Pandora, then please win." I look at Zephyra with a malicious smile.
"Of course, dear." The teleportation circle activates and we are teleported out of the castle.
