TL: Hanguk
Drakenia
Boom! Crash! Kaboom!
The dragons were currently engaged in a fierce war against the calamities.
“Fire!”
At the command of Evan Draken, the Gold Dragon who ruled over the five dragon clans of Drakenia,
Kuuooooh!
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.
Kwagwagwang!
The five-colored breath attacks, imbued with the power of fire, ice, storm, lightning, and light, swept through the calamities.
The calamities were annihilated in an instant.
At that moment,
Kugugung.
Suddenly, the surroundings darkened, and enormous entities began to fall from the sky.
It was the Seventh Calamity, the Planet-Destroying Turtles.
And not just one, there were ten of them.
Moreover, the energy emanating from each of them was no ordinary power.
We must take the upper hand with a preemptive strike!
“Fire!”
Evan, who quickly assessed the situation, gave his command to the dragons.
Kuuooooh.
The dragons once again fired their five-colored breath attacks at the Planet-Destroying Turtles.
Kwagwagwang! Boom!
The immense explosions stirred up a cloud of dust, making it impossible to see anything.
There’s no way they’d die from just this.
“Don’t stop! Keep firing!”
Evan commanded continued attacks.
Kwagwagwang! Boom!
The dragons fired breath attacks until they were utterly exhausted.
Ziiing.
Beyond the dust cloud, ten red dots appeared. Without a sound, red beams of light were fired.
And then,
……
Everything touched by the red beams vanished cleanly, as if it had never existed in the first place.
The first battle between the dragons and the calamities ended in the calamities’ victory, with half of the dragons who had fought being obliterated.
***
99th Floor of the Black Tower. Morning.
“Alright.”
Sejun opened his eyes.
And,
0.1 Magic power has accumulated over 3 hours.
[Magic power increases by 0.1.]
[The divine blood has passed through the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.]
[Divinity increases by 0.0001.]
…
..
.
0.1 Magic power has accumulated over 3 hours.
[Magic power increases by 0.1.]
…
..
.
[Due to the effect of <Power: Sunfish Core>, all stat potentials have increased by 30.]
As always, Sejun checked the messages that appeared after waking up.
Divinity increasing by 0.0001 every 30 seconds, magic power increasing by 0.1 every 3 hours, and all stat potentials increasing by 30 every day.
“Hehehe. Good.”
I’m growing well today too.
Just wait a little longer, Aileen(?)!
Compared to the others around him, his growth was still meager, but Sejun was taking slow and steady steps toward his ultimate goal, growing day by day. ꭆ𝐚
And,
Amur-nim, let’s meet next time. I won’t be beaten so easily then.
He also vowed revenge against Amur who had beaten him.
While Sejun was feeling proud of his growth,
[Hehe. Good morning, Sejun-nim!]
Flamie, who had been sitting on Sejun’s palm enjoying the aura of sunlight he emitted, noticed Sejun was awake and cheerfully greeted him.
“Yeah. Good morning, Flamie.”
While exchanging greetings with Flamie,
“Meow…”
Kking…
Sejun picked up Theo and the Blackie family and headed outside. Iona had returned to the Wizard Tower yesterday after receiving an urgent message.
“First, I need to make some attribute wine.”
Sejun went to the brewery and added cherries, lemons, and other ingredients to the Samyangju he had prepared in advance to create the attribute wine.
A little later,
“All done.”
The work was finished in an hour since all he had to do was combine the ingredients, sugar, and alcohol in the right proportions and seal the jar.
After completing his work, Sejun exited the brewery.
Kueng!
[Dad, did you sleep well?]
Cuengi, who had woken up from a good sleep, came looking for Sejun.
“Yeah. I slept well. Did you sleep well too, Cuengi?”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi slept well too!]
Cuengi replied cheerfully, clinging to Sejun’s side.
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi rubbed its head against Sejun’s body with a smile.
Cuengi, seems to be in a good mood.
Sejun also smiled, infected by Cuengi’s smile, and patted Cuengi’s head.
Kurorong.
Cuengi began to doze off under Sejun’s gentle touch and soon fell asleep.
After a while,
I should go before breakfast.
“Summon Door.”
After summoning the door leading to the 10th Tower, Sejun asked,
“Patrick-nim, is it okay for me to go now?”
He checked with Patrick to ensure the 1st floor of the tower was safe.
[Patrick, the God of Earth, says Stella Hisron is on the 4th floor, so it’s fine to come.]
“4th floor?”
During Sejun’s absence, the accumulated energy of Creation in the 10th Tower had exceeded 8 million liters, automatically unlocking the 4th floor.
“Alright then, I’ll head over. Guys.”
Chuck chuck.
At Sejun’s words, his companions touched his body. Even though some were half-asleep, none of them ignored Sejun’s instructions.
Hehe. Combine!
Chuk.
Though Flamie didn’t have the power, she too touched her leaf to Sejun’s body.
[The 11 divided powers combine into one, activating <Power: Strength to Support Thirteen Handfuls of Sky> for 13 seconds.]
[Strength increases by 1300%.]
Click.
With the power activated, Sejun opened the door and entered.
“Welcome!”
“Welcome!”
Patrick, the God of Earth, and Hamer, the God of Farming, greeted Sejun politely.
“Huh?! Uh… Yes…”
Sejun was taken aback by the gods’ unusually formal demeanor.
-What are you doing?! Pay attention! Just pretend you don’t know me and act normal!
Flamie hurriedly spoke in an angry voice, ensuring only the two gods could hear it.
And then,
“Hahaha, Sejun, we’re just so glad to see you…”
“Ah. I came to give you the Enhancing Elixir.”
Under Tree of Creation candidate Flamie’s stern directive, Patrick and Hamer desperately tried to carry on the conversation without appearing awkward.
A little while later,
After finishing their conversation, the gods quickly left.
“Show me what I can upgrade.”
[Displaying the available upgrade options for the 10th Tower.]
– Currently possessed Energy of Creation: 11.036 million L
…
..
.
“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.
***
“Uhaaam.”
Ace, who had been sleeping in his mother’s embrace, let out a long yawn.
“Puhihihi.”
Today, I’m going to play with brother-in-law all day.
Thump. Thump.
Having grown another 10 centimeters overnight, Ace excitedly waddled his massive body toward Sejun’s house, thinking about the fun he’d have.
And then,
Knock. Knock. Knock.
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.
“Huh?!”
The bed was empty.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
Ace quickly looked around.
But,
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.
At that moment,
“Return! Time to go cook!”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I want grilled giant piranha, meow!”
[Hehe. I want warm sunshine!]
Kueng!
[Cuengi wants food dipped in honey!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[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.
And,
“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.”
“Yes!”
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,
Kueng!
[Dad, coffee time!]
Cuengi brewed coffee and brought it to Sejun.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
Slurp.
“Ahh. My son makes the best coffee!”
Kuehehehe.
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?”
“Yes!”
Kueng!
[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.
Hoo. Hoo.
Ace gently blew on the steaming coffee to cool it down before taking a sip.
Slurp…
“Ptooey!”
It’s bitter! Why does brother-in-law drink this?!
The moment the coffee hit his tongue, Ace grimaced and spat it out.
Kueng. Kueng.
[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.
“Hmm.”
“Sniff….”
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?!”
“Yeah.”
“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,
“Let’s go!”
“Puhuhut. It’s a picnic, meow!”
[Hehe. So exciting!]
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
2a09:bac5:47ee:b05::119:e
“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.
Wooong…
Though Sejun’s pocket had been vibrating faintly throughout their journey
However, neither Sejun nor his companions noticed the vibration coming from Sejun’s pocket, as they were all too excited about the picnic.
