I’m Only the Magic Tower Chapter 275
The floor of the sauna was literally crowded with people.
It’s really half space and half people. It wasn’t like this even at night… … .
Eunsol, who followed, said.
“An evacuation order has been issued. Everyone who lives in the countryside has come.”
“……Oh, indeed. That’s right.”
Looking at the refugees, I can finally feel that disaster is approaching. There were many families in the sauna.
Still, wouldn’t evacuation be after a meal?
We walked to the canteen.
“Auntie, please give me four eggs.”
“It’s 8,000 won.”
I looked at her with a shocked expression.
“Wasn’t it originally two thousand won?”
“I’m sorry, bachelor, the prices of things like eggs and ramen have gone up a bit. They might go up even more tomorrow.”
“Ugh.”
With tears in my eyes, I bought eggs and sikhye, which were four times more expensive, and went to the corner of the store.
“thank you for this food!”
I turned on the news on my phone and peeled the egg for Eunsol to eat.
[I’m on the Gyeongbu Expressway! There is no end in sight to the evacuation procession. While the emergency committee declared mandatory evacuation… … .]
[The inflation phenomenon is worsening! Focusing on ramen and canned food… … .]
[There is a growing number of bunkers, especially the elderly, who plan to remain in their hometown until the end.]
[President Lee Deok-bae promised support for local regions. The President has taken a hard-line stance and urged the emergency committee to prepare countermeasures, and is willing to go as far as to force the resignation of the president of the association.]
[President Lee Deok-bae’s approval rating has increased significantly. The analysis is that the impact of the Gwanghwamun speech and the support of refugees who left their hometowns and came to Seoul had a positive effect.]
I smiled bitterly while watching the news.
‘Hongyeon must be having a hard time.’
Lee Deok-bae is an outstanding politician.
He knows what the public likes, and he knows how to pick it out and raise his approval rating.
It will be a difficult opponent for Hongyeon, who values substance and efficiency.
Because the best choice does not always lead to the greatest satisfaction.
‘I hope you are well.’
I also looked into information about her. Her path so far has been a series of unconventional events. She is an object of fear among hunters, to the extent that some say she is more than just her older sister.
Thanks to her background as Hong Yul’s younger sister, her skills as a first-class public figure, and her unique star quality, she rose to the position of president of the association without difficulty, but there are still many people in the world who do not like her.
It will take time for her to fully establish herself as the president of the association like her older sister, Hong Yul.
Until then, we will have no choice but to fight on.
“Oh, my brother!”
Eunsol, who was eating eggs, spoke up.
“Are you going to participate in this disaster, too?”
“Well, Seojin said it was okay to rest…”
I took a quick look around. You can see exhausted refugees curled up and taking a nap.
“The situation is too bad to just sit there. I think I should step up.”
“But we didn’t find out who the demon was.”
“I will move while hiding my identity. If there is any need…”
I rested my chin and picked up an elvan egg.
“I have to be prepared to have my identity revealed and fight properly.”
“…….”
She suddenly held my hand tightly.
“If something happens to my brother again, I…”
Even though she became a certified level 2 hunter, in my eyes Eunsol was still a cute little girl.
I said, stroking her head.
“You don’t have to worry. I won’t go away and leave you again.”
“huh!”
“Now that you think about it, where is Sol going?”
“I think I will play as a mercenary for Garam Management in this disaster war! Since Garam is in charge of Red Gate, I will probably head towards Paju…”
Just then, a notification arrived on my cell phone.
It was a call from Garam.
“ah!”
“what’s the matter?”
“The area in charge has changed! From the Red Gate entry team to the local defense team!”
“……That means Garam has escaped from Red Gate.”
“Yes! There’s a list here too.”
It was a list of top-secret materials delivered only to certified level 2 hunters, and a list of guilds whose responsibility would be changed from Redgate to Cataclysm.
The top 10 guilds will all maintain Redgate input, but management, including Garam, and several guilds in the top 20 will leave.
Among them, there was a magic tower belonging to the World Guild.
‘Yuna, are you planning to fight without Garam and Magic Tower? It’s almost like taking off the car and going to Redgate.’
Since the fire between President Lee Deok-bae and public opinion has exploded, it may be right to appease them in this way.
Just because the risk of Cataclysm is low, we can’t just ignore it.
However, it was clear that excessive burden would be placed on Hongyeon.
‘Uhm, if this happens… … ‘

I quickly revised the plans I was making in my head.
‘I might run into Hongyeon in the end.’
* * *
Yongsan Station, Seoul.
This place was bustling with people arriving from all over the country. There were people who moved 4-5 trunks alone, and there were also people who arrived with moving luggage.
Some people were curled up around the station, using padding as blankets to sleep. The fast food restaurant in the station was closed, and there was an endless line at the convenience store.
“Mom! Did I tell you to take the train or not?”
A young woman was holding her cell phone and shouting.
“How long will it take!”
-I don’t know. The road is full and there is no promise. Where are you?
“I’m waiting for dad at the station. Go! If I hadn’t come to Seoul, it would have been a disaster!”
-Well done Gasinaya! Coming soon!
The woman sighed heavily and ended the call.
As soon as one call ended, another call came.
-Narae!
“……Choi Eun-hye? What’s going on with you all of a sudden?”
-Really, really, really, this is the favor of a lifetime! Do you live in Seoul? Can I sleep at your house until the disaster is over?
The woman pressed the bridge of her nose and sighed.
“Are you alone?”
-… … Oh, no. My family too… … I also need space to store my luggage… … .
“hey.”
She said coldly.
“I received more than 30 calls like that just today. Is that what you mean when Kashina calls you for the first time in three years? Hang up.”
-Now, wait! It’s me!
She nervously pressed the call end button and said, ‘Ugh!’ And she sighed.
I wonder what the real world is like.
[Today is the expected date of disaster. Citizens, please move to a shelter immediately.]
I’ve been listening to that broadcast for almost a week.
The emergency committee issued an order to move to a shelter… … With most of South Korea’s population concentrated in Seoul, the underground shelter was literally hell.
A place where the lighting is dim, you can’t lie down properly, and the musty smell of sweat makes your nose feel like it’s going to fall off.
Even the line for the bathroom was so long that both men and women had to do their business near the wall.
Just thinking about it makes me sick. It was so bad that it could be said to be a scene of human rights abuses.
I heard that Seoul is safe anyway. She decided that it would be better to stay at home rather than go to such a place.
“huh?”
It was then. Something was coming up on the floor.
“……grass?”
I wonder what kind of grass grows on the marble floor. She blinked, wondering if she was still half asleep.
But the surroundings become blurry. The pillars are turning into trees, the square into a forest, and the ceiling into the open sky.
People around me also jump up in panic.
It’s as if the surrounding environment is melting away. Even the luggage I had left on the floor became blurry.
“Oh, no!”
“How much does this cost?”
While the commotion was going on, a train was coming into the station with an announcement.
However, the condition of this train was also greatly obscured. By the time it stopped at the station, it had become transparent, as if it would disappear at any moment.
People who were dozing off in some seats fell and fell onto the train.
“What the hell is this…”
The entire Yongsan Station is about to disappear.
No, it’s not exactly disappearing, it’s changing.
You can smell the grass and hear the sound of Silgaecheon flowing. The trees and grass became more and more clear, and before we knew it, people were in the middle of a field of grass that was up to their knees. People sitting at the fountain may end up falling into the swamp.
Insects were flying around and the leaves were shaking in the wind and making a shooting sound.
Before they knew it, they were in the middle of the jungle.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
-Krrr… … .
She was startled. From the bushes, a monster with purple eyes reminiscent of a jaguar was approaching her, crouching down.
“Aaaahhh!”
Of course, the monsters living in the jungle also came over. Yongsan Station fell into great chaos.
People threw away their belongings and rushed to run. Before life, there was no need for wealth or trade.
“Ugh, wow!”
The monsters on the trees snatched people with their tongues.
The next scene was obscured by the leaves, but the sounds of blood pouring and meat being chewed could be heard.
“Look over there!”
Someone pointed ahead.
Only around Yongsan Station, where they were located, was the curtain spread out like a round dome.
Outside was the original scenery of Seoul.
“Run! Let’s get out!”
People ran as hard as they could to get away from Yongsan.
Monsters in the jungle also followed suit to prey on prey that had not appeared in a long time.
“Huh!”
“Be careful below!”
People were having difficulties due to the unfamiliar terrain of the jungle.
Sometimes my leg got caught in a tree or I fell into a swamp. If you fall behind like that, the monsters that followed immediately prey on you.
There were stragglers pouring out from all over and cries for help, but people were busy fending for themselves due to the fear of the monsters flooding in. As if DNA had remembered the forgotten rule of law of the jungle, the human body fell into a state of extreme tension.
thud! Coo thump! thud! In Quyburn, a large monster with a dinosaur-like appearance blocked the people running away.
Instead of a pitchfork, a red flame was burning behind him.
“damage!”
A dinosaur bit a person and swallowed him whole. Frightened people scattered in all directions.
“Wow! Wow! This place is bigger than I thought…!”
Sigh!
The leg of the man who was running away was suddenly grabbed by something and he was pulled up without any time.
“Ugh, wow!”
His skin was scraped by sharp branches, and his body climbed up the tree.
The long-tongued monkey monster in front of him pressed his body hard with its limbs.
When the monster opened its mouth wide, the man was scared and screamed.
Taaang
With a gunshot, the monkey monster’s forehead is pierced. Then, a rope was wrapped around the man’s waist, and he came down to the ground again, breaking a tree branch.
“Tsk!”
A hunter in a suit received a man in a princess hug.
“are you okay?”
In response to Hunter’s question, the man nodded his head in confusion.
“The evacuation route is over there. Please hurry.”
“Thank you so much!”
The man ran away again in a huff.
Hunter said while radioing.
“This is Y-7, Korea’s first Cataclysm appeared at Yongsan Station in Seoul.”
