Reincarnated as a Phoenix

Chapter 61 - Dryad

---From now on, expect 5/6 chapters a week (It'll be either Saturdays and/or Wednesdays missed), reason being I've probably been overdoing it and will give me the odd day off if I need it. Still might get 7 in a week as well, just probably expect 6---

"You alright Ikarus?"

"Urgh, should be. Just need a while to sort my head out"

Petra is still holding me after I fell on the ground after that fight, there's no reason for me to feel this way other than the fact I just gained thirty levels, maybe my body is going into overdrive rapidly levelling me up that much? I guess the curse did have a similar effect but that wasn't straight away after, maybe my body still isn't used to this just yet.

"You sure you're okay Ikarus-sama?"

"Yeah, you do look a bit pale"

"I'm honestly fine, just give me a minute and I'll get back up"

Both the other two have now joined us it seems. While I'm recovering, might as well use this chance to check.

'Status'

[Name: Ikarus | Species: Phoenix | Level: 97]

[Health 28,862*/30,000*]

[Stamina 7,182*/10,000*]

[Magicka 18,492*/20,000*]

[You currently have 18500 unassigned points]

'I swear, I feel like I've just won the lottery looking at that, shame I feel light headed. I'm basically a level nine-hundred and seventy compared to human growth now, my health is a little lower than it should be by at least a few hundred but I did just take on that trash wind attack after all. I also knew my stamina was more than high enough'

It really makes me think just how bullshit my levelling actually is, all it took was two somewhat high levelled elves for such a rapid increase. Oh my God, I've just realized how much EXP I'll get from killing the prince and the mage, that'll be at least fifty levels just from that alone, that might actually make me pass out if this is the reaction I get from such a level increase.

'Wait, isn't this a perfect time to buy a gambling ability or two? Sighhh... I feel like in the space of one fight, I've gone from being pretty powerful to being damn right OP, I can't help smiling but there's more important things going on right now'

"Your friend just needs some rest; she did just gain a load of power"

Wait a second, I thought we killed that dryad? Where the hell did she come from?

All the other three-party members didn't expect the busty half naked dryad to have revived herself, she's even walked over and is now looking over me.

"I'll use a sleeping spell to help"

"Wai-..."

__________

"*Snore*, zzz, *Snore*, zzz"

"Heh, you're snoring"

"Wha-... where am I?"

"We're still in Yggdrasil, you're safe by the way Ikarus"

I awaken from my forced slumber with my head upon Petra's lap, it's actually really comfortable this lap pillow but that is not a focus for right now. I'm not going to get up just yet though.

"How long was I out?"

"Just ten minutes or so, didn't want to wake you"

She could've but knowing Petra, she was probably enjoying watching me sleep. I'm not even against it, I'd probably enjoy watching her sleep as well but she barely sleeps most nights and when I do catch her, she's doing the meditation thing cultivation users do. The sitting cross legged thing with your eyes closed circulating your ki or whatever crap that is, Petra says it's different from what I'm thinking of but it's kinda the same thing, cultivation is way too complicated for me to understand anyway.
