After a while...

“Chunza, protect Mido.”

“Gurururuk.”

Chunza understood my words and soared up with a light nod. The spiral space movement portal appeared once again and Chunza flew there. She wasn’t as stupid as she used to be. Of course, her destination was Dark Moon where Mido was. It was a very convenient ability because she could move to a person she had seen once after imprinting it in her head. However, the number of times was limited to twice a day because more moon magic power was consumed than expected.

In any case, I had to go now...

“Orabeoni.” Just then, Park Maksun called out to me.

“......?”

“Now. Where did that owl come from? The pupils are a crescent moon, did you know that?”

Ah, that reminded me.

“If you think it is a Lechuza then you are right.”

“Oh my my, it is an honor. I actually got to see the sacred creature of the moon with my own eyes!”

Park Maksun was originally from the magic city of Oz so she knew about the goddess of the moon and magic, Hecatiana, well. It was natural for her to know about the sacred creature of the moon, the Lechuza. Park Maksun asked me for an explanation with bright eyes that were rounder than ever, “Orabeoni, how did you get that sacred creature? Ehh?”

Park Maksun kept following me and questioning me. I tried to ignore her as I called for Jinny. I asked Jinny to carry Park Maksun.

“I know, reum! I’ll listen to Master’s request, reum!”

However, Park Maksun was still prying into the matter.

“No, now. Let’s talk about it, Orabeoni. How did you...”

I just laughed and reached out to Park Maksun from where I was riding on Jinny. Park Maksun’s cheeks twitched and she frowned like she was dissatisfied.

“Get on. I’ll tell you as we go.”

“...Where are we going?”

“The Orca Kingdom.”

The first thing to do was to save Drain.

At this moment, James stepped forward and said, “I’m leaving.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to see my constellation. He is in the volcanic zone right now?”

At the secret passage to Dark Moon...

Mido was following the wasp constellation, Musca, and the archer constellation, Chiron. Along with the rabbit constellation, Lepus, and the other members of Icarus, they were able to discover the secret passage to Dark Moon. There were many statues that she saw along the way. It was filled with old murals that seemed to praise the goddess of the moon and magic. Then Mido realized that the sacred creature of the moon resembled Chunza, her grandfather’s owl.

“My grandfather sent me his owl.”

At Mido’s words, the rabbit constellation, Lepus, stroked both ears like he couldn’t believe it.

[Bah. You must’ve seen incorrectly. There can be no other Lechuza apart from the sacred creature of Hecatiana, the goddess of the moon and magic.

Suddenly, the space twisted in a spiral and Chunza appeared. She glided down from the top of the underground cave with her wonderful wings spread out.

“Gurururuk—!”

“Chunza! Over here! Here!”

Mido waved to Chunza. Chunza made a nice turn as if boasting about her full-grown body. Then she sat down nicely next to Mido. Lepus, Musca, and Chiron—the three constellations had wide eyes at the same time.

[No, this is...]

[Is it really a Lechuza? The crescent eyes are clear.]

[It is still young. How does a human have a Lechuza...?]

The expressions of all three of the constellations were filled with shock and disbelief. It might still be young, but the owl called Chunza in front of them was clearly a Lechuza, the sacred creature of Goddess Hecatiana. The even more convincing evidence was the magic power of the moon felt from Chunza’s body. This was an undeniable fact.

“Chunza, haven’t you become a lot bigger since I’ve seen you? Cute.”

Mido stroked Chunza’s nose with her palm. She was the same size as the griffon seen in old fantasy movies. Mido shrugged like she was the heroine of the movie.

“Look. Aren’t I right? This is the kid my grandfather raised. It isn’t a lie.”

[...Hmm, it is young, but I’m sure this is a Lechuza. I don’t know how a sacred creature of the moon was obtained, but I will apologize. I’m sorry.]

Lepus nodded lightly and apologized. Mido accepted Lepus’ apology coolly. “That’s okay. Anyway, isn’t it important to get out of here quickly? Lepus, you said that you’ve often been to Dark Moon? Where does the end of this cave connect to?”

Mido once again led the group of people through the cave. Chunza folded her wings like an ostrich and followed behind MIdo.

[Let me see... I don’t know because it is the first time I’ve used the secret passage. Originally, this is a place that can’t be entered without being invited. Last time, I was able to come due to an invitation from Monet.]

“Um, then we’ll see when we get there?”

How long did they walk? Finally, the end of the cave appeared. However, it was a blocked road, not an exit. Chiron approached the wall and tapped it.

[It isn’t a completely blocked road. I can pierce through beyond this.]

Chiron grabbed the bow he was carrying on his back and pulled the bowstring. It was a magic arrow that contained the nature of explosions. Eventually, an arrow was fired and slammed into the wall. Subsequently, there was a loud noise. It wasn’t until the walls collapsed and all the thick dust disappeared that Mido could see ahead.

The revealed area was full of giant skeletons that looked like demons. The strange thing was that there were huge horns on the heads of these skeletons.

[Wait, this place...!] Lepus abruptly shouted.

“Who dares to attack my bedroom?!”

A huge roar ran through the cave and made the party members tremble with fear.

[This is where the dokkaebi king lives!]

At the same time, at Murim on the East Continent...

The sun rose in the east so the East Continent was always one of the first places to greet the morning. It was the same with the moon. The moon that rose in Murim was characterized by its very large size. It was evening when the insects were crying and the full moon was hanging high. As zombies encroached on the East Continent, Zhen Sulong finally arrived.

Of course, he didn’t come alone. His guild members came together. Zhen Sulong was the first to take off his bamboo hat to reveal his face.

On the other side, Michael shook hands with him. "Thank you for coming.”

“You’re welcome. We’re allies so it is natural,” Zhen Sulong answered while smiling at Michael. Behind Michael were the heads of each sect, including Namgung Yun, who was the leader of Murim.

“I am the Murim leader, Namgung Min. I’ve heard a lot about you. Thank you for taking this difficult step,” Namgung Yun greeted Zhen Sulong.

It was as Michael said. The man called Zhen Sulong was a very good match for the East Continent. The right air and personality were felt from him. Additionally, the strong impression he gave off showed he was a strong man who couldn’t be easily met.

“I am Zhen Sulong, the leader of the Martial Arts Guild. I heard Murim was in a crisis and came to add some strength.”

“It is nothing. Let’s eat inside.”

Zhen Sulong and his party followed Namgung Yun inside. The Martial Arts Guild members still couldn’t take their eyes off the scenery of Murim. It was because they felt like they had come into the middle of the martial arts novels they dreamed about.

“It feels like a place where I can get an opportunity.”

“I think it would be better if I train here.”

“It would be good to find a hidden elixir...”

“It would be nice to get a martial arts secret technique...”

The members of the guild turned their heads from side to side as they prepared for a surprise event. However, there couldn’t be such a thing. The group soon arrived at the meeting place of the Murim League where they could hear a detailed explanation of the current situation.

“We dealt with zombies while coming here. They have forgotten the existence of death and kept attacking without caring about their bodies. Therefore, they were very difficult to deal with. In addition, it is tricky since you become a zombie once bitten. One of our guild members became a zombie.”

Everyone nodded at Zhen Sulong’s words. He continued speaking. “My opinion is... I think it is right to quickly hit the demon king who is the main source of the zombies. Was the name Beelzebub?”

Demon King Beelzebub was one of the most famous demon kings on Arkstagram. It wasn’t just the nasty smell coming from him. It was also the flies around him and his cruelty when he took out the heart of a living person and hung it on a scale. Demon King Beelzebub was famous for permanently deleting characters by turning all users of the East Continent into zombies. In any case, it was no wonder there were no users starting in the East Continent after that.

Coincidentally, some of the representatives of the Japanese national team also started here. They were bitten by zombies so they were raising new characters. In any case, no one could stop it and it was the same for Zhen Sulong.

“It isn’t that we haven’t thought about that. However, not long ago, we performed a surprise attack. The Tai Chi daoist immortal who was the leader of the shamans was defeated and we retreated. The demon king wasn’t damaged at all. His poison attacks in particular are very tricky. We could barely detoxify it because we have a sect that handles poison well. If it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t even be here.”

“Um...” Zhen Sulong was deeply troubled by the words. It was definitely very tricky if it was like this. Additionally, it was difficult to deal with the hordes of zombies.

Just then, the listening Michael stepped forward. “I don’t know about anything else, but you can deal damage to the demon king.”

“......?”

Zhen Sulong cocked his head with confusion and Michael asked him, “Don’t you have the dimensional scissors?”

“Ah!”

That’s right. The scissors would surely hurt Beelzebub. Not long ago, the scissors were used to cut off one of Ashtar’s arms. Therefore, it wasn’t impossible.

“Yes, we can definitely kill Beelzebub with that.”

“Is this true?”

“It is correct.”

Zhen Sulong nodded after being questioned by Namgung Yun. Exclamations burst from the mouths of the sect leaders. They were cheering at the hope of finding a method to kill the demon king.

‘The problem is the zombies...’

It happened when Zhen Sulong was frowning and felt deeply troubled...

“......?” 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Fireflies gathered at a corner of the table where they were sitting and finally took the shape of a human. After a while, the firefly constellation Camille appeared. She said with a smile, [I’ve created the antidote to the zombies.]
