My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 103.1

Pixie

"Ba…! What the hell is this nonsense!?"

Having descended to the 12th floor, I found myself surrounded and toyed by monsters.

The dungeon staircase. Just like the entrance and exit on each floor, it was pitch black, and one couldn't confirm the situation without descending properly. It was a solid, pitch-black barrier, preventing observation with tools like a periscope or reconnaissance with drones.

So, as usual, I cautiously descended the staircase to the 12th floor. There, as expected, was a staircase room of roughly 10 meters in length and width, similar to the layout on other floors.

As I attempted to create a makeshift defensive formation with mucus, floating figurines of beautiful girls appeared before me.

I couldn't help but be astonished and taken aback by this.

My eyes got captivated.

(Huh! Could it be gas!?)

First, I was cautious about the possibility of it being a trap. I had no recollection of triggering any traps. However, I might have inhaled some gas-inducing hallucinations, making me see illusions.

Otherwise, in a dungeon infested with unpleasant pests like cockroaches and flies, there's no way there would be beautiful girls.

(Wait a minute, something's strange though. I just recently replaced the filters on my Bug King Mask.)

Yeah, it's unlikely that I've been poisoned.

While I was struggling to comprehend the situation and in confusion, the beings that looked like cute figurines turned their hostile intentions toward me and launched an attack.

Small, fairy-like girls with transparent wings that sparkled like dragonflies, gracefully dancing in the air.

Upon closer inspection, they were famous beings from various stories—Pixies.

"""Pi-pii~! (Pou… Shipyun shipyupyuuun!)"""

As the Pixies extended both hands in a stance, a ball of white light was created. From that glowing ball, needles of white light were shot.

"Guwaa!"

Distracted by their adorable appearance, I reacted too slowly, and their merciless attacks rained down on me. Ouch! It hurt a lot! It felt like I had been stabbed all over by sharp protrusions.

"Shit! Even though I'm wearing a suit…! Huh!?"

(Is this a magic attack!? No, it's definitely a magic attack just by looking at it! Does that mean the Bug King Suit can't dampen magic damage!?)

I was careless. If I had trusted the defense of the Bug King Suit, I wouldn't have fallen into such a pit.

"Ku…! It seems that once I pass the 10th underground floor, the monsters become tougher… But I'm too naive! Mucus Fog! (Bashuuuuuuuuu!)"

"[[[Powawawa… Kyurin! Shurin!]]]"

"Na! A barrier!?"

The Mucus Fog surged into a white mist. I expected the Pixies to be entangled in the mucus, just like giant moths and flies, causing them to crash.

However, the Pixies created a white, glowing barrier around themselves, and with the sound of bell-like wings, they easily repelled the Mucus Fog.

"Mu… In that case, Acid Fog… (Gishi!) Ku! What the hell!?"

At the moment when I channeled magical power towards the Pixies with murderous intent behind their charming appearances, it happened. My body wouldn't move! No, it moved, but it didn't move as I wanted it to.

"Huh! That's ridiculous… Could it be that my body, no, my heart! Got hesitated to harm these adorable Pixies!?"

That's right… The blood of an otaku flows through my veins. The inescapable fate of an otaku put a strong brake on my attacks against the Pixies, who resembled the cherished figurines.

""""Pi-pii~! (Pou… Pwan! Hiruriruriru…)""""

"Boom! Kyubobon! Guwaaaah!!"josei

But while I hesitated with my attacks, the Pixies continued their merciless assault.

This time, they started shooting white light bullets, and when those hit directly, severe pain resonated through my bones. The speed at which they flew was slower than needles, but they packed a heavier punch.

[[[Kyurin… Shurin…!]]]

"Ku…!! This is like a battleship from World War II that can't deal with aerial forces…! (Gakuri)"

The Pixies surrounded their prey, flying around proudly. Still, even then, I couldn't direct any murderous intent towards them.

"At least, I need to reduce the damage… Right! Activate the skill [Sturdy]! (Bikyuuun!)"

""""Pi~! (Pou… Pwan! Hiruriruriru…)""""

"Boom! Kyubobon! Guwaaaah!!"

It hurts! Ah, but… it's not as bad as before.

I see, the [Sturdy] skill not only increases physical defense but also magical defense. Hmm, that's helpful. Since it has effects on both, maybe that's why it didn't boost physical defense as much as [Sturdy] implies.

[Hiruriruriru…]

"But at this rate… Muo!?"

[[[Kyubobobom!!]]]

Just as I aimed at the Pixies flying around to assess the situation, three light bombs hit my face simultaneously. As a result, my head tilted back significantly.

Zu, zu, zugogogogogo…!

"Nfufufufu!… That was a little painful!"

However, at the same time, the space emperor within me awakened.
