Chapter 556: Chapter 556
The dragons were currently engaged in a fierce war against the calamities.
At the command of Evan Draken, the Gold Dragon who ruled over the five dragon clans of Drakenia,
hundreds of thousands of dragons unleashed their breath attacks to kill the locusts, giant blood-sucking leeches, fire moths, petrifying spiders, and slimes that had recklessly invaded Drakenia.
“Let’s upgrade the absorption power first.”
Sejun began upgrading the 10th Tower.
With the 4th floor unlocked, the upgrade limits had expanded, allowing him to freely use the stored energy of Creation after a long time.
Once he had upgraded all options to their maximum limits, Sejun returned to the 99th floor of the tower.
Ace, who had been sleeping in his mother’s embrace, let out a long yawn.
Today, I’m going to play with brother-in-law all day.
Having grown another 10 centimeters overnight, Ace excitedly waddled his massive body toward Sejun’s house, thinking about the fun he’d have.
Ace tapped Sejun’s bedroom window three times. His body had grown so large that he couldn’t fit inside the house anymore.
“I knocked three times, so it should be okay to open it now, right?”
Muttering to himself, Ace carefully opened the window and peeked inside.
Ace quickly looked around.
Brother-in-law isn’t here!!!
Sejun was nowhere to be seen.
“Waaah~! Brother-in-law left without me again! Mom, hurry and seal me! I want to be small again!”
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Thinking Sejun had left again, Ace burst into tears and ran to Elizabeth.
“Ace, I told you that’s not possible!”
Despite Ace’s crying, Elizabeth spoke in a firm voice.
Ace was still a baby dragon, not even a month old.
Since his body and strength were growing rapidly day by day, using a seal to shrink him could cause side effects, such as deforming his original form.
To ensure that baby dragons can properly recognize their own bodies and stabilize their strength, parent dragons only use transformation magic after the dragon reaches the age of 100.
“But… hic… brother-in-law… didn’t take me… hic…”
Ace tried to make his case at his mother’s firm voice, but his words kept breaking due to his unstoppable crying.
“Return! Time to go cook!”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I want grilled giant piranha, meow!”
[Hehe. I want warm sunshine!]
[Cuengi wants food dipped in honey!]
[Hehe. Butler! I want roasted sweet potato slices!]
“Okay. Orders taken.”
Ace caught sight of Sejun, who had just returned from the 10th Tower, taking orders from his companions as he headed to the kitchen.
“Sniff… Huh?! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law~!”
The moment Ace spotted Sejun, his crying immediately stopped, and he ran toward him.
“Baby brother-in-law, stop!”
Since Sejun wasn’t in an invincible state, he quickly stopped Ace from charging into him.
“What do you want to eat, Ace?”
Sejun asked what Ace would like to have.
“Ribs! Brother-in-law, I want to eat ribs!”
Ace answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“Got it. Just wait a bit.”
At Sejun’s words, Ace waited quietly in front of the cooking area for Sejun’s cooking.
A little while later,
“Aileen, try this. Here, the food is ready.”
After sending the food to Aileen first, Sejun placed each dish his companions had requested on the dining table.
“These ribs are for you, Ace, and take this fish soup to your mom.”
“Okay, brother-in-law!”
Sejun handed the food to Ace outside.
At this point, Elizabeth had recovered so much of her strength that being near her would exhaust Sejun, so they could no longer eat together.
After breakfast was finished,
Cuengi brewed coffee and brought it to Sejun.
“Ahh. My son makes the best coffee!”
Sejun gave Cuengi a thumbs-up as he sipped his coffee.
“Brother-in-law, is that tasty?!”
Ace, eyes sparkling with curiosity, asked Sejun.
“Hehe. Want to try some?”
[Uncle Ace, here you go!]
“Puhihihi. Big brother Cuengi, thank you.”
Once Sejun gave permission, Cuengi brewed coffee for Ace as well.
Although their family tree was a tangled mess, Cuengi and Ace adapted well, addressing each other as uncle and brother without issue.
Ace gently blew on the steaming coffee to cool it down before taking a sip.
It’s bitter! Why does brother-in-law drink this?!
The moment the coffee hit his tongue, Ace grimaced and spat it out.
[Uncle, Cuengi understand how you feel. Try this instead.]
Cuengi offered a honey jelly to Ace who was suffering from the bitter taste.
Hehehe. Ace, that’s the taste of adulthood.
Sejun smirked triumphantly as Ace, now munching happily on the honey jelly, smiled widely. No matter how he looked at it, Sejun didn’t resemble an adult at all.
After coffee time ended, Sejun started busily moving around gathering various things.
“Brother-in-law, where are you going again?”
Seeing Sejun preparing to leave, Ace asked with anxious eyes.
Ace’s mood dropped at Sejun’s vague reply.
“We’re going on a picnic. Go tell your mom that you’re coming too.”
“Huh?! Brother-in-law, I can go too?!”
“Puhihihi. Got it! I’ll go tell mom right now!”
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Ace dashed off to Elizabeth to tell her about the picnic.
Hehe. My baby brother-in-law sure is excited.
Watching Ace run off, Sejun continued packing the remaining items for the picnic.
Today, he was planning to go on a picnic to the western forest for Ace, who couldn’t go to other places with them.
A little while later,
“Puhuhut. It’s a picnic, meow!”

“Brother-in-law, this is my first picnic! Puhihihi. I’m so excited!”
Sejun and his companions headed toward the western forest for their picnic.
