Chapter 857 No Space To Breathe...

-----

I checked the Stats of the two Familiars once they finished their meals, as they were resting over a nearby cough while cozily being caressed by their new masters.

"Though, they're usually quite shameless, so I had to act slightly annoyingly for them to give me some compensation for everything I've done lately." I laughed slightly. "Now..."

I grabbed the elixir bottles and drank them one after another. I had a strong enough stomach to easily digest most things thanks to my Physique, so I easily got everything down quite quickly.

Ding!

[You have absorbed a large quantity of Skill Essence; 300.000 Skill Proficiency have been randomly distributed across all your Skills.]

[Several Skills have Leveled Up!]

A few Skills ended gaining a level randomly. Some were Title Skills, other were Magic or Physical Skills. Some were even Familiar Skills too, so it was a decent bonus.

"Well, that does hit the spot." I smiled, gauging the strength I gained. "Every little bonus matter for the monster we'll be fighting soon enough..."

"The White Dragon?" Eleanora wondered. "How's the scouting mission going?"

"I sent Hendrick and Fang to do the scouting for now. I know you would be better at it, but you're more attached to my family, so I wouldn't tell you to go away when you want to spend time with them." I said. "They'll contact me once they've seen enough."

"Blake~ Let's cuddle together!"

And then, an adorable Erika walked in, wearing her pink pajamas that had rabbit ears.

"Can I cuddle too?"

Eleanora suddenly changed her attire to an adorable, red-

colored pajamas, with big bat-like ears and tiny bat-like wings behind her.

"Me too! Me too, papa!"

And Saphira changed her usual white dress into a white pajama with cat-like ears and a tail.

Perhaps in the past I would have cringed at the sight, but I've changed to the point I could only find them adorable.

"Fine, let's rest."

I ended sleeping with Eleanora and Erika at both sides, while Saphira slept over my belly... Eriant also snaked in, turning into a golden cat resembling a sphynx made of sand, and sleeping over my feet.

There was no space for me to even breathe...

Is this the price I must pay for having a family? It is quite a price.

Well, it is not that bad...
