Chapter 301  

It was called the Moon Blade.

The chat was filled with comments questioning Ji-Cheok’s sanity. On the other hand, there were also a lot of comments saying that this was going to be fun.

‘Humans are such a weird species. Some of them are trying to have fun even in this doomsday scenario.’

“Of course, this is not all.”

The screen was now focused on Ji-Cheok.

“We are recruiting for a mission to the Moon! The minimum level requirement is going to be 80. This is going to be a life-threatening and extremely dangerous mission. However!”

He shouted at the viewer to emphasize what was coming next.

“Those who participate will receive two Legendary Skills! And I mean everyone!”

Legendary skills were ranked just below infinity. Hunters could become a superstar even with just one Legendary skill. Yet, Ji-Cheok is offering two per person!

If they joined right now, he was going to give it to them with no strings attached.

-Umji, you’re crazy! Don’t say things like that when you’re wearing a Bunny Princess costume!

-Isn’t this kind of announcement usually made in a formal tuxedo?

“And with that, I am going to end this livestream. Thank you all for watching! Umji, Gumji! Until next time, when we save the world!”

Ji-Cheok ended his livestream.

? ? ?

-Is Umji freakin crazy? He’s livestreaming when the Moon is about to collide with us?

? Press the Like button if this guy is right. I’ll go first.

?222222

-I don’t understand why he has to wear that shit when he gives us this kind of news.

-What’s his stylist doing? Why would they let him go on air like that?

?The way I know Umji, there is a 10,000% chance he picked it up himself.

?I bet he is thrilled to wear that Bunny Princess thing.

-Still, that thing looks kinda cool. It’s called the Moon Blade, right? Is that an actual space mothership? Where did that thing come from?

?I heard he modified Kunlun Mountain. There is more information on Umji’s channel.

?Oh wow, you’re right!

-No, but what does he mean by the Moon falling? Am I the only one who didn’t know about this?

?You gotta watch the news, man.

?The world is fucked right now. I’ve already written my will, but I know it will not mean anything…

?I heard that Americans are buying guns to shoot themselves for once rather than other people.

?You are right. I need a pistol too. I want to go out with my dignity intact.

-Umji is Kind. And this is Umji’s consideration.

-Thank you, Umji! Thank you for saving us!

-Lots of thanks from Copenhagen! We’re alive because of you! Thank you!

-Thank you for saving my life!

-Your dedication will not be forgotten!

-Thank you! Thank you so much!

-Thank you! I am here because of you! Thank you very much!

-Can we really put our trust in that space mothership?

After the livestream was done, the channel was flooded with comments. Some people complained about the livestream itself, others admired it, and some seriously contemplated the end of the world.

However, the vast majority of comments were about gratitude.

People around the world had watched as Ji-Cheok traveled the world and killed the boss monsters that appeared in the capitals. People who had not been able to evacuate the cities, Hunters who had fought there, and people who had died and come back to life… All of their overwhelming expressions of gratitude and appreciation was as genuine and warm as anything he had ever seen. Anyone would do the same. If they were brought back from the dead, everyone would be grateful to the person who did it. Not to mention, it wouldn’t just be the person who was saved. Their friends and family would also be grateful.

There were also many comments about the mission.

-If Ji-Cheok is going to the Moon, I’m in!

-I will join his side faster than anyone else!

-I’m in too! Raiding the Moon with Umji!

-No, I am going to be the first one there!

-Two Legendary skills? I don’t need them, I’m in!

-Whoa! Everyone is so passionate!

Many people of different nationalities reacted to Ji-Cheok’s ridiculous livestream. They were going to the Moon!

-So, how do I go about the Moon mission?

?According to his channel, you can purchase the Indicator Skill from the Hunter Store.

?It seems that once you have the Indicator Skill and use it on yourself, you are automatically teleported to the space mothership.

?Wow, I never knew that kind of technology existed.

-That’s amazing! Wow!

-I’m already on the mothership!

?Who the hell is this guy? How is he already there?

The Hunters began to gather. The Moon Blade was filling up at a shocking speed!

? ? ?

“Huhuhu. Our Lord calls, how can I not go?”

Macaw the White Charcoal still lived in his old non-human form. The funny thing was that his appearance had a profound effect on the people around him, inspiring awe rather than attracting weird looks.

He was also under Ji-Cheok’s power and had been appointed as an apostle. Because of this, he also earned Likes, which could be used to purchase various things in the Hunter Store. He purchased the Indicator Skill and used it on himself.

Then,

[You have been allowed to teleport to the Moon Blade. Do you wish to teleport? [Y / N]]

A System message popped up in front of him. Naturally, Macaw agreed, and he instantly disappeared with a flash of light.

He realized that he had arrived in the middle of a very large, sci-fi-looking space mothership. He was surrounded by people who had traveled through space just as he had, and one by one, Hunters kept appearing.

“Hey! That’s Macaw the White Charcoal! He’s famous in the Philippines!”

“I can’t believe he’s here too! Oh, that’s Bernade Itum right next to him!”

A light appeared next to Macaw, and Bernade, along with Daniel Enzo and the rest of the Ji-Cheok’s retainers arrived with it.

“Huhuhu. You are all here.”

“How can we turn away from the call of our Lord?”

“I suppose that is true… By the way, this place is incredible.”

As they looked around, drones descended from above, guiding them. The drones gave each of them a bracelet, and when they put it on, a screen appeared in front of them.

?The wearer has been identified. Welcome, Macaw. I am going to walk you through what you need to do in this battle.?

The bracelet had several functions, including communication, location, battle position guidance, battle role guidance, and many more.

Macaw chuckled in surprise.

This kind of job was usually done by a leader of the battle or a Support Hunter who was in charge of crowd control and buffs. The idea of replacing that with a gadget had been talked about among Hunters for a long time, but no one had dared to put it into effect.

With that, the Tama Clan began to make their way to the ship’s waiting room, guided by the bracelets and the drones. With the battle just around the corner, the space mothership was quite hectic.

Its busy atmosphere hinted that the battle was near.

? ? ?

There was a skill named Indicator in the Hunter Store. It was a skill that literally left a mark wherever the user needed it, and Ji-Cheok had heard that Hunters used it to find their way around mazes.

He had adapted this skill to suit his own needs, and it now allowed him to send messages to the Hunters, and summon them to this Monn Blade if they agreed. It was a lot of work, but it allowed him to gather a literal army in a short amount of time.

There were around one million Hunters that were over level 80! The truth was that he had not really expected this many to come on board.

‘I wonder if my livestream was that persuasive…’

?Perhaps it was because they were admiring you for bringing people back from the dead.?

Cheok-Liang was wrapped around his neck, as usual. ‘You might be right. Bringing people back to life must have been impressive in many ways. So… I guess this is how it begins?’

?Yes, Master.?

Ji-Cheok was standing on the bridge, watching Adam in the captain’s seat, busily manipulating and ordering things.

Twenty-two hours to go until the final hour to stop the moon.

They had been working very hard, but they were all set now!

“We’re all ready!” Adam said as he threw his arms up in the air in a ‘we did it!’ gesture.

“Great, we don’t have much time. We don’t even have time for a speech. Let’s just broadcast something quick to everyone on the ship.”

“Ready for the broadcast.”

“Ahem.?This is your captain speaking. I repeat, this is your captain speaking.”

Ji-Cheok’s voice echoed through the entire ship.

“This ship, Moon Blade, is now headed for the Moon. As you all know, this is the final battle, a fight for our families, our friends, our loved ones, and our own dignity. Brace yourselves. Let’s go!”

Wooong~

He could feel the massive amount of mana in motion. The ship, which was about fifty meters off the ground, slowly began to rise into the sky. Then, it moved faster and faster.

They were heading for the battlefield.

‘Let’s see what you’re made of, Demong King of Apoca—’

Suddenly, Ji-Cheok felt an incoming danger with his Divine Intuition.

“A/B! Deploy the barriers! Something’s coming!”

Adam did not question his words; he immediately shouted with a stern face, “Fully deploying the barriers!”

Woong!

A mana barrier appeared around the entire space-bound Moon Blade. It was a barrier developed by Bi-Ga and improved by Adam, as strong as the one produced by an A+ Rank magic skill but much greater in scale.

A powerful beam of light fell down from above just as the mana barrier surrounded the ship. It was a long-range attack from the Moon!

Tsss!

The beam did not explode or create any kind of shock. It did, however, produce high heat as it collided with the barrier.

‘Damn it, that Demon King of the Apocalypse. You want some of this? I’ll show you!’

“Captain! If we don’t do something about it, there is a sixty-seven percent chance of the barrier breaking before we reach the Moon!”

“Hm… I guess it’s not going to be easy. We have no choice,” Adam Bronze smirked.

‘Why the hell is he grinning like that?’

“Initiate Hyperdrive! Let’s kill this thing once and for all!”

“Captain! The Hyperdrive is still under development…”

“I said initiate Hyperdrive! If you don’t want to die here, you do as I tell you to do!” Adam shouted at the other operator on the bridge.

‘Wait, Hyperdrive? Like those things in sci-fi movies? We’ve just mastered teleportation! There’s no way we can do that!’

As Ji-Cheok stared in disbelief, Bi-Ga’s screen popped up. She was in the maintenance bay on the inside of this ship.

?Are you sure you want to do this??

“We might have to. I can’t think of another way to get there.”

?Sigh… I guess we have no choice. Let’s do it.?

“Okay, Bi-Ga-nim. Let’s do it!”

‘Hey Adam, you’re American! Don’t talk as if you are Korean!’

Adam’s manner of speaking was ridiculous, but his actions were anything but. He slammed his fist down on the big red button on the side of the captain’s seat.

“Engage Hyperdrive! Move to the lunar surface immediately!”
