Only My Skill Tooltip Is Strange

40 – 2nd Floor, Score Duel.

In their home dimension, Wild Kingdom, there are two types of people.

The descendants of the twelve heroes, half-human, half-beast.

And the others, the beastmen with diluted hero blood.

Beastmen are born as slaves.

Luna was one of the many slaves.

─ Luna. You are a descendant of the great Lunacolis. Never forget that. Even though your blood is diluted and you were born a beastman… You too have inherited the proud blood of heroes…

When they saw the Lunacolis clan, they bowed their heads.

They were a clan in which the traits of the ancient heroes were strongly manifested.

An ordinary beastman couldn’t even look at them.

─ Filthy worms.

Just because the hero’s blood was strong didn’t mean everyone became a hero.

Thud! Thud-!

─ S-save me. Please. I won’t do it again. J-just this once!

The glory of the past had already faded, and all that remained was violence carried out in the name of bloodline.

Among them, there were a few noble ones, but they were in the minority.

Most were busy enjoying their given privileges.

Luna had been exposed to such violence since childhood.

Having lived like that all her life, she didn’t find it strange.

Even when her parents died, even when her friends died, she felt no doubt.

It was fortunate that she met other races in the Tower of Struggle.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have even questioned it now.

That didn’t mean her nature had changed.

The blood of the hero Lunacolis flowing through Luna’s veins commanded her to not submit to her opponent.

─ What the hell are these b*stards?

If it weren’t for Scarlett, who had teamed up with her on the first floor, Luna wouldn’t have been able to say anything.

She might have knelt and begged for mercy.

“…….”

Facing the Lunacolises now.

Just not begging was an act of immense courage for Luna.

So Scarlett couldn’t back down.

She knew all too well how shitty it felt to be ignored.

She wanted to help Luna.

She shouted.

She cursed at the Lunacolises.

‘If those b*stards try to kill us…. then I won’t just quietly die either.’

* * *

Since entering the Tower of Struggle, she had seen quite a few races.

The overwhelming majority were humans.

They looked similar, only belonging to different dimensions.

Midworlders were mostly white, and Martial Worlders were mostly yellow, with such meaningful differences.

‘A beast’s head, huh.’

There were various races.

Some had appearances that were hard to accept.

Half-human, half-beast.

Different from beastmen.

Beastmen felt like humans with beastly features added, but half-human, half-beasts felt like beasts walking on two legs like humans.

“I didn’t come to see you humans. I came to meet the vermin.”

The beast’s characteristic threatening sound leaked from their mouths.

Grrr-.

The members of Scarlett’s team, who had been drinking beer, flinched.

“I told you clearly, dying as soon as possible is the way to honor Wild Kingdom.”

The guy stood in front of Luna.

His yellow eyes gleamed as he growled.

Luna hunched her shoulders and couldn’t say anything.

She was utterly terrified.

“Who do you think you are?”

Scarlett stepped in.

“You’re telling Luna to live or die. You piece of shit.”

The size difference was enormous.

Scarlett wasn’t small for a woman, but standing in front of the half-beast, she definitely looked like one.

“Then, human. Let me ask you. Who are you to interfere in the matters of the Wild Kingdom?”

“Wild Kingdom or whatever. This is the Tower of Struggle. Why are you bringing your hometown’s notions here and causing a fuss?”

Scarlett glared at the half-beasts as she spoke.

“Beastmen were slaves, so they act like slaves even in the Tower of Struggle? The very act of a weakling struggling to survive is a disgrace to the Wild Kingdom, so they should just die quietly? Does that even make sense?”

The guy glanced at Luna.

Luna couldn’t even meet his eyes and hung her head low.

“…The problem is that a half-breed with the blood of Lunacolis flowing through her veins is showing such a disgraceful appearance in front of countless vermin. Human.”

“Bullshit. The blood you’re talking about doesn’t mean a clan. You’re just saying she should die because she was born a beastman.”

Scarlett fired back like a machine gun.

It wasn’t the first time they had clashed.

“I could end it with my own hands. If I apply for a score duel, it would be clean…”

“Shut up, you b*stard.”

Even this morning, Scarlett showed no hesitation.

No matter how strong the opponent was, she would confront them.

What if she met a real strong one like this?

If she offended a Red Dragon or a Swordmaster, she could die without anyone knowing.

Her guts, not thinking about the aftermath.

It was truly impressive.

“What are you planning to do?”

Kim Min-sung whispered in my ear.

Was it because of the hot breath that touched me?

Goosebumps prickled near my cheek.

“What?”

How should I answer the question of what I plan to do?

‘We just met today. I don’t have any obligation to help.’

To be blunt, the griffin hunting game isn’t much different from going to a day labor job.

The Scarlet team is like a crew of day laborers I’ve just met.

‘If something bad happens to them, it’s just unfortunate.’

It’s a really trashy thought, but even if they die, I don’t think I’d feel anything.

At that moment, Kim Min-seong speaks.

“Those who are of no help should just be cut off. For the greater good.”

“?

Should I take this as advice or not, it’s really ambiguous.

“…The greater good?”

“Yes.”

I don’t understand what he’s saying.

“In the end, whether you regret it and return or not, it depends on whether it’s for the greater good or for selfish desires.”

“……”

I glanced at Kim Min-seong.

Feeling that he was speaking sincerely, I got goosebumps.

“Hey, Earthlings. Can you shut up? The smell is too strong.”

“Keh keh keh, woof woof woof!”

Just as Scarlet has teammates, the half-beast half-human creatures also have a team.

Those who were clustered behind the male-looking wolf head at the front.

In crude terms, the lackeys bared their teeth and glared at us.

“Gathered like vermin, as vermin do.”

The half-beast half-human creatures scrutinized us.

Since they had heads instead of faces, it was hard to read their expressions.

Whether they were ignoring me or not.

‘My hands are itching, but I can’t just go and strike them…’

Everyone has a different threshold for anger.

The provocation of the half-human, half-beast creatures did not touch my reverse scale.

Step by step.

A wolf head approaches.

It held a plate of food.

From noble mtl dot com

Lee Soo-jung gasped and whispered.

“It’s starting again.”

“…As expected of you, brother. You immediately built up a justification to clean up.”

Kim Min-sung’s voice muttered something.

“Growl. There’s a fitting appearance for worms.”

The wolf head poured the food over my head.

Thanks to my high agility stats, I managed to dodge it.

I almost got showered in grease.

Splatter-.

The food I had painstakingly bought scattered on the floor.

Seeing that sight, I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.

“Why are you doing this to me? You can resolve the grudges from your home dimension among yourselves. Does it hurt your mouth to do that?”

“I can’t stand seeing someone weaker than me. Whether it’s a slave, a worm, or humans like you.”

One of the wolf heads’ lackeys sneered and continued.

“It was uncomfortable to see you eating and drinking peacefully even though we were here. Is that reason enough?”

“……”

Looking closely, everyone except me was watching the wolf heads’ reactions.

Goblins, orcs, lizardmen, even Sergey from the middle world.

They all lowered their eyes in front of them.

Only I was calmly eating meat with a fork.

That must have pissed them off.

“I’m a defrocked monk from Shaolin. You dare to mess with me.”

I pushed back my chair and stood up.

And faced the half-human, half-beast wolf head.

“Growl. You’re fearless. Do you want to try?”

They growled like beasts and raised their claws.

It looked like they were ready to cause a commotion at any moment.

I glared at them and said,

“…Honestly, this is self-defense.”

If they hadn’t spilled the soup I was eating, I would have let it go.

I wrapped my fist in a powerful strike.

And then I launched it like a bullet.

Thud-.

The strike hit the pit of his stomach.

“Grgh. You have some confidence, don’t you?”

But he didn’t die.

He withstood my strike.

‘I knew this would happen someday.’

The damage from the strike is about 1,500%.

Roughly speaking, it deals 15 times my attack power.

‘150 health points aren’t that hard to achieve.’

The strike didn’t work!

So, is it a big deal?

‘No.’

I quickly took out a golden dagger from my inventory and armed my left hand.

And then I wrapped my right hand in a powerful strike again and launched it.

Thud-!

The second strike followed in an instant.

Quick attack.

The opponent’s wolf head tried to block my strike with his hand.

“You’re fast for a bug. But you can’t beat us-.”

Yeah, block it.

I calmly planted my fist into his palm.

Like planting barley seeds.

[Absorbing the soul of Kar Fer (Lunacolis).]

[Strength increases by 0.03.]

The wolf’s head, struck by my blow, falls with a thud.

No matter how tough it was, it couldn’t withstand the golden dagger strike, which had its attack power inflated by 40.

“Ka, Kar!”

The Lunacolises stare at me with faces full of shock.

“Oh, shit.”

People are watching me.

But I couldn’t care less about them.

I had no time.

Because my gaze was captured by the message floating in the air.

‘If I kill all of them, my strength will increase by 0.3?’
