Chapter 29: An Unprecedented Peak
“I-I’m sorry, Lady Cynthia, this… this is a normal physiological reaction. You’re so beautiful, I can’t control myself.”
Shion was utterly embarrassed, only able to give a bitter smile, his voice carrying helplessness.
Cynthia didn’t respond, only burying her face in his chest, continuing to enjoy the pleasure brought by this skin-to-skin contact.
Not only that, she was amazed to discover that her magical circuits were actually being widened by the warm currents of this mental soothing.
This meant her magical power was being strengthened and amplified. This feeling of being filled with power within her body was irresistible.
Cynthia’s body trembled slightly, her mental state seeming to be split open by a blazing lightning bolt, her consciousness instantly torn into countless fragments, yet reassembled in the ultimate pleasure.
Her thoughts were no longer under control, as if pushed by an invisible force toward a peak she had never reached. Her entire being fell into a state similar to shutdown, her subconscious seeming to be enveloped by a layer of gentle mist that was filled with an indescribable warmth, like countless tiny points of light gently dancing in the depths of her consciousness.
Each point of light carried a gentle touch, lightly brushing across her thoughts, quietly dissolving every trace of unease and anxiety in her heart.
Cynthia seemed to swim in a boundless sea of consciousness, the surrounding seawater warm, enveloping her from inside out, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.
In this ocean, her thoughts were no longer bound by any constraints, freely wandering, as if every nerve was being gently massaged, bringing a nearly tingling pleasure.
Her spirit seemed to be filled by an invisible force, that force gentle yet powerful, like a warm current slowly flowing from the top of her head to her feet, carrying away all fatigue and unease. Her consciousness gradually melted in this force, as if merging with the entire world, feeling an unprecedented completeness and harmony.
That satisfaction wasn’t momentary pleasure, but a deep-level tranquility and happiness emerging from the depths of her soul. It was an experience beyond the physical, as if her soul had been stripped away, suspended in boundless void, surrounded by twinkling points of light, each one exploding in her consciousness, releasing endless pleasure and satisfaction.
This unprecedented sense of fulfillment made her addicted, unable to escape.
In this moment, Cynthia’s spiritual power gradually climbed under Shion’s soothing, as if being pushed by an invisible force toward some critical point.
Her breathing became more and more rapid, her chest rising and falling dramatically, her cheeks taking on an even more alluring flush. Her ten fingers gripped Shion’s shoulders tightly, her fingertips almost embedding into his skin, as if seeking some support.
Suddenly, Cynthia’s body stiffened sharply, as if struck by powerful electricity.
Her pupils dilated slightly, a hazy light flashing in her eyes, then her entire being seemed to be pushed to the clouds. The dual impact of mental and physical overwhelmed her completely, her body beginning to convulse uncontrollably, every inch of skin trembling, as if responding to that unprecedented pleasure.
“Shion… Shion… I feel so strange…”
Cynthia’s voice was broken, carrying a near-collapse trembling, her arms desperately hugging Shion’s body, as if wanting to merge him entirely into herself.
Her body pressed tightly against his, every point of contact making her feel indescribable satisfaction. Her breathing became somewhat disordered, her chest rising and falling dramatically, sweat sliding down her forehead, passing over her collarbone, slowly flowing along the curves of her skin, as if seeking a destination.
The droplets lightly slid over her chest, finally quietly falling into that deep valley, instantly disappearing as if silently devoured by the heated skin.
Cynthia’s body seemed controlled by an invisible force, constantly trembling and convulsing, as if experiencing a dual climax of mind and body.
Her consciousness gradually blurred, leaving only that ultimate pleasure, as if her soul had been cast into an unfathomably deep abyss.
Finally, that impact reached its peak, and Cynthia’s body trembled sharply, then like a deflated balloon, she completely collapsed against Shion.
Her arms hooked around Shion’s neck, her head lowered, breathing still rapid, chest rising and falling dramatically, the flush on her cheeks not yet faded, her body trembling slightly, as if still savoring that ultimate pleasure.
“Hah… hah…”
Cynthia’s panting sounded in Shion’s ear, carrying a tired yet satisfied feeling.
Her fingers still gripped Shion’s shoulders tightly, though with much less force, her delicate body hanging limply on him, as if she didn’t even have the strength to lift her hand.
Shion’s heartbeat gradually quickened. He could clearly feel her body still occasionally convulsing, as if still experiencing those aftershocks.
After an unknown amount of time, Cynthia’s breathing gradually steadied, the flush on her cheeks remained, the heart-shaped gleam in her eyes faded, yet still carried a hazy light.
Her body pressed tightly against Shion, her skin’s temperature transmitted through the thin layer of sweat, bringing an intoxicating warmth.
“Shion… that feeling was truly wonderful.”
Cynthia’s voice was somewhat hoarse, clearly tired but very satisfied.
Her fingers gently caressed Shion’s cheek, the touch of her fingertips making him tremble involuntarily. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Shion carried a complex radiance, as if still unable to resist savoring that ultimate pleasure.
As the Saint’s rationality gradually returned, she discovered her spiritual power had completely recovered, even more abundant than before, and her magical power had also been enhanced. This tangible feeling of power improvement filled her with joy.
Indeed, the upper limit of Shion’s mental soothing ability was far beyond this. Just embracing with bare upper bodies had such remarkable effects—what if they were completely naked and honest with each other?
Cynthia was too exhausted to think further. Though her spirit was now full and her magical power abundant, her body that had just experienced dual climax of mind and body felt as if all strength had been drained. She only wanted to go back, take a bath, and sleep well.
“Being able to satisfy you is truly wonderful.”
Shion’s tone was understated, as if this phrase had been rehearsed countless times in his mind.
Cynthia’s finger hooked lightly, retrieving the bra that had been covering Shion’s face.
Shion blinked, adapting to the dim light of the basement, his vision gradually clearing.
When he refocused, Cynthia had already put on her undergarments and was lowering her head, concentrating on buttoning her shirt.
Her movements were elegant and composed, as if the passion from moments ago had never happened, but the ambiguous atmosphere lingering in the air couldn’t easily dissipate.
“Hurry and tidy up, don’t let Herlaris discover anything.”
Cynthia said in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of tension, then added another sentence.
“That woman has a keen nose.”
Her fingers moved swiftly between buttons, trying to restore everything to its original state.
Only then did Cynthia suddenly realize that Herlaris could return at any time, yet she had completely ignored Shion’s advice earlier and forcibly conducted mental soothing. If Herlaris had caught them, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
At this thought, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her palms slightly clammy, a wave of fear rising in her heart.
Shion nodded, trying to arrange his clothing, but looking down, he found his uniform and shirt had already been torn to shreds during Cynthia’s earlier excitement, the fabric hanging in tatters on his body, looking quite disheveled.
“Uh…”
He looked up at Cynthia with a bitter smile.
Cynthia obviously noticed this too, her cheeks instantly flushing red. She turned her head away, avoiding Shion’s gaze, muttering quietly.
“Just say… it got torn during the battle with the werewolf.”
In the dim light, her profile appeared especially gentle, the flush spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears, like a budding flower quietly blooming in the night.
Shion found himself staring for a moment, something in his heart seeming to be gently touched. He hadn’t expected this Saint to have such a shy side.
However, he quickly came back to his senses, shaking his head vigorously, reminding himself that everything was just acting, and he absolutely couldn’t develop real feelings.
His gaze became calm and profound again, as if that momentary lapse had never occurred.
Meanwhile, at the corner of the basement entrance, Herlaris was pressed tightly against the wall, holding her breath.
This Radiant Saint’s cheeks were flushed pink as she covered her mouth with her hands, afraid to make the slightest sound.
