Chapter 155.1


    Soul Sharing


    (Ah this is the familiar ceiling)


    Was I unconscious, or did I doze off? I found myself lying on my back in the antechamber of the dungeon. For a moment, the pale light of the dungeon ceiling resembled the operating room''s illumination, and the hard floor beneath me felt like an operating table. So, I thought maybe I had been modified into some cyborg, but it seems I was mistaken.


    "Hmm sigh"


    I exhaled and sat up, looking around. The antechamber of the dungeon remained unchanged.


    The Pixies I summoned earlier were still clustered together, curled up and asleep in various spots. The honey I left out hadpletely disappeared, so they must have eaten their fill and fallen asleep.


    As for the herbal tea, untouched.


    It seemed the Pixies weren''t fond of it. I wonder why. Could it be that fairies are simr to spirits of trees and grasses in terms of their race? Perhaps they perceived my attempt to offer them tea made from their aunt''s hair as an invasion of their rtives, thus rejecting it.


    Oh dear, that wasn''t my intention at all.


    Even though I was mindful enough to buy sweet treats with no sugar or chemical additives, worrying that the Pixies might get cavities if they ate them.


    Lost in thought, I realized that I couldn''t see the Pixie Queen within my field of vision.


    "Huh!? Where''s the Queen!?"


    As I eximed, for some reason. I sensed the consciousness of the Pixie Queen within myself.


    It wasn''t echoing in my mind, nor was it a voice. Just a vague, fluctuating wave of emotions and consciousness. I felt as if it were saying, "Do you need something?"


    (Oh my gosh! The Pixie Queen is inside me after all!)


    Then, another vague sensation, this time I felt the consciousness of the salt spirit. Wait a minute, isn''t this bing a bit parasitic?


    No, hold on, calm down. Ah, I know. I''ll sing a song to calm myself down in times like these.


    "Can''t be reckless, can''t panic~"


    Once again, I sensed waves of joy from the Pixie Queen and the salt spirit. Oh, for some reason, they found it amusing.


    And then, although the Pixie Queen and the salt spirit were inside me, it seemed they had no intention of harming me specifically. As I thought that, I received a double-edgedeback in my mind, "As if that would ever happen!"


    Hmm, I don''t get it! But in times like these, it''s best to check my stats!

    "What!? Ugh! Level 11!?"


    Somehow, there''s been a significant weakening. Boldly, I''ve undergone a drastic level reduction.


    "Ah!?"


    Frantically, I touched my shoulders and arms. They''re gone! Those once thick and sturdy muscles!


    "Just a moment! Queen! Come out and exin this!!"


    I pounded on my now-thinner chest, calling out to the Pixie Queen who should be inside.


    [(Giggles La~)]


    Then the Pixie Queen, who seemed to have upgraded her radiance grade inexplicably, appeared dazzlingly before me.
