I’m the only magic tower owner episode 028
Rescue operations resumed.
I came up with a few hypotheses and tried dealing with zombies. The first time all of them spotted me and rushed in was the same.
However, at the critical moment, it seemed to hesitate to attack, and changed its target to other residents of Harlem and ran toward them.
How should we understand this phenomenon?
Are you avoiding it because you are a player? Or because we are outsiders?
“Ah. Are there any records of this phenomenon?”
-I’m still looking for it, but the undead are beings with a blind hatred for the living. In common sense, it is impossible to choose a target for attack. There were no records like this in the Taboo Land incident either.
“Uhm, okay. Just keep investigating.”
-Yes, top owner.
At that time, I heard a ringtone in my pocket and received a call from Jeong Seo-jin.
– Top owner. All people in this area have been evacuated.
“Good job. I’ll go there.”
I escaped the zombie-infested city and moved toward a temporary shelter.
In the shelter, people who had hurriedly escaped from the city were gathering themselves.
The clothes everyone was wearing were shabby, and their nutrition seemed poor.
Jeong Seo-jin was moving a man who had collapsed under the influence of alcohol to a safe place.
Jinbo-ra unfolded the tent that had previously been used in the lava cave and opened a makeshift medical unit. There was still a banner posted saying ‘Heat resistance equipment 30% OFF’.
“Hey, there’s a zombie! There’s a zombie…!”
“It’s okay. Monsters in the control area don’t come out of the area.”
Jinbo-ra was reassuring the injured and taking emergency measures.
There were people who were scratched or bitten by zombies, and even had pieces of their flesh ripped off.
It certainly seems like they’re targeting the residents here, not us.
“Look. What about the rescue team?”
She said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“I contacted him a while ago, but I don’t know if he will come in time. I think he is waiting for the association’s hunter support since he has to enter a non-protected area.”
“……grunt.”
The so-called rescue team was busy trying to save their own lives. What does an organization that operates its own hunters support the association?
Well, there would be no problem if they tried to save the residents of Harlem, and once the association arrived and sorted out the situation, there was a high chance that they would show up and show condescension.
It wasn’t something I could do anything about.
As we were taking a breather while treating the wounded, a young boy from Harlem saw us and came running.
“Tongue, you guys are hunters, right? Please help!”
Looking at the crying boy’s expression, I could tell that something had happened. Jin Jin-ra squatted down, made eye contact with the boy, and asked kindly.
“What’s happen?”
“Eunsol! Eunsol is not there! She’s probably still trapped in the city!”
Jeong Seo-jin said, adjusting his glasses.
“I was going to tell you even if that wasn’t the case. It seems like there are more people who haven’t been rescued yet. They may have been attacked by zombies, or they may be hiding somewhere gathered together.”
I got up.
“Let’s take a look.”
Stable rescue activities were necessary to ensure that the hunting ground operation rights were recognized by the association.
We entered the city again.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
-Crrrrrrrrr!
Not long after entering the city, the road was blocked. Zombies were spread out in front.
“There are too many. Let’s go and clean up the ones caught in the net.”
“I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
In the meantime, we were cautious because rescue activities were a priority, but from now on, we can truly call it proper hunting.
Jinbo and I moved to the point where the broadcasting speakers were installed.
While Jeong Seo-jin was attracting the attention of the zombies, we quickly entered the building.
When I went up to the 4th floor and looked out the window, I saw a speaker hanging on a string, and below, there were zombies swarming around, hitting the wall and screaming.
Now there is no one around, so there is nothing to be careful about. I deployed a magic circle.
Grumble! Flames rose up from the magic circle. It is a two-stage fire-type magic like Ice Javelin.
“Support is here!”
Jin Jin-ra took out potion bottles filled with transparent liquid from subspace and threw them evenly at the zombies.
“It’s an oil potion! I made it by mixing mana elixir with monster oil.”
“Oh, you developed that in one day?”
“Hehe, I’m qualified as a manager, but I still have to pay for food.”
According to the information in the study, those zombies are weak to holy magic and fire.
So, we have prepared a lot of fire-type tools to conquer this dungeon.
After finishing casting, I aimed the fire cannon at the zombies.
Crack.
As a signal, a fireball flew out and exploded on the zombie field.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The zombies, covered in oil, were quickly engulfed in flames.
I continued to fire the fire cannon from the safety of the fourth floor, and the bodies of the zombies struggling in pain were completely charred.

[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
“Waaah! It’s not a joke, is it?”
Jinbo also cheered as if he had seen the player’s message.
“This is the real fun of hunting! So many rank 3 monsters at once!”
To agree. I, too, am really feeling motivated.
“Let’s go to the next location.”
We toured four speaker points in the same way and burned the zombies.
Although it is not a trial level growth level, my abilities have increased quite well compared to the effort I put in.
This is what really sucks.
I felt much better as I felt my magic power level steadily increase and my mana tank increase. I see you are taking good care of yourself before the boss battle.
– Top owner. I feel a life reaction nearby.
“Okay. Please guide me.”
As the number of zombies decreased after the hunt, rescue work became much easier. We rescued five additional civilians who were trapped in a convenience store.
“It’s time to be thankful like this…!”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
At that time, Jeong Seo-jin came forward and spoke.
“Does anyone here know anything about a girl named ‘Eunsol’?”
In response to Jeong Seo-jin’s question, the rescuers exchanged secret glances with each other.
“We’re doing well too…”
“I don’t know.”
Hmm, something seems suspicious about Banwoong. I think the people in this town are hiding something too.
“Let’s go to a safe area together first.”
As we were heading back with the rescuers, we heard Ea’s voice again.
– Top owner. I feel a vital response.
‘Residents?’
-no. It’s the players who can feel the magic response together.
‘what?’
Are there other players here besides us? We waited in the alley for a while, and after a while we ran into a group of people.
“What about you?”
A large man with broad shoulders came forward and spoke. Behind him were three men who appeared to be players.
That guy is pretty strong.
I think he’s either a talented prospect or a level 5 beginner.
“I’m a cadet dispatched to the academy. I’m currently rescuing people.”
The man chuckled.
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
“Where are you going?”
“Should I reveal every detail of my business to a student or something?”
… … Are you going to come out like that?
In fact, it’s obvious even if you don’t ask. These guys are planning to attack the boss monster in the boss zone.
“hey.”
Jin Jin-ra came out.
“We are the first to discover it. We have priority in conquering this dungeon.”
“Oh, was that you? I called the association and unfortunately they said they were the original discoverers.”
The man suddenly stopped talking and began examining our faces one by one. I felt cold as I felt the worry on his face.
‘It’s dangerous. Are you really thinking about getting rid of us?’
If the original discoverer disappears, that man becomes the first discoverer. Since the hunter world is so turbulent, it is not impossible.
However, I think it will be difficult in reality right now. The number of people the man must clear to become the first discoverer is as follows:
Two Hunter Academy students under the protection of the president of the association, and the third son of the Unix group.
And up to five civilians.
In order to be perfect, you will have to cleanly kill or persuade the three behind you, and soon the association employees will come rushing in here.
If this were a dungeon, it would be realistically impossible to kill this many people and clean up after them in a short period of time.
Just as I thought, the man looked at the refugees behind us and clicked his tongue.
Instead, he took out a Juseom Juseom Hunter certified certificate from his inner pocket and waved it at us.
“I am a certified level 5 hunter, Ma Jong-guk.”
“…!”
This time, Jin Jin-ra’s expression hardened.
“You’ve probably heard about the on-site command authority given to professional hunters in case of emergency, right? This is no place for students. Get out of this city quickly and wait for further instructions.”
“W-what?”
Ma Jong-guk’s intentions were clear. They will not even let us enter the boss zone.
“We believe that if we continue to leave this area unattended, the casualties will increase, so our Rapid Guild will attack the dungeon.”
Jin Jin-ra made an angry expression.
“Did you say there was a risk of casualties? Then we need to start rescuing the people here!”
Ma Jong-guk looked at the people of Harlem shaking behind us and laughed.
“The student just followed Hunter’s instructions. What do you say you know about the field?”
“That’s what we’re going to do…!”
“Look.”
I put my hand on Jin Jin-ra’s shoulder and shook my head.
“Well, I understand. We’ll take care of the rescuers, so just go about your business in peace.”
I said that and turned my back.
“let’s go.”
“Stop, senior!”
“It’s a hunter’s order.”
I escaped with my companions and the people of Harlem. The giggling sounds of Ma Jong-guk and the party members were heard from behind.
Jin Jin-ra gritted her teeth in exasperation.
“Aren’t you all angry? That’s pure nonsense!”
“Look at the big picture, Jin Jin-ra.”
Jeong Seo-jin pushed up his glasses and said.
“We have already become the first reporters, and we have achieved our initial goal. Boss monsters are nothing compared to the profits we will earn in the future. One way could be to eliminate risk factors with their cooperation.”
“Still, what these people are doing makes me angry! They’re professional hunters in name, but they’re petty… aren’t they?”
“don’t worry.”
I said with a dark smile.
“Even if those bastards wake up from death, they won’t be able to clear the dungeon.”
“Huh? How could that…”
I pointed to my bluish right eye.
“Did you forget that I can see the status window? I guarantee you, that combination won’t work.”
I have all the information about the dungeon and the monsters that haunt it.
After considering various situations, it is unlikely that even a party with a hunter will be able to clear it.
Since it was a rank 3 boss fight, I was very prepared, but this saved me a lot of trouble.
“Let’s make the most of the situation. Let’s try to catch a fisherman.”
