Only My Skill Tooltip Is Strange

42 – Second Floor, Score Duel.

Two days.

The Lunacolists used that time wisely.

The opponent is the opponent.

They could just ignore them as mere bugs and send them off carelessly.

Nevertheless, they did not let their guard down.

‘Kar Fer is dead. We must not take them lightly.’

They have a trump card.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have accepted a match against the Lunacolists.

There are three cunning Earthlings.

Who knows what tricks they might pull on the day of the match.

They prepared for the match with utmost seriousness.

“There are more spectators than I expected.”

The participants gathered in the colosseum.

They gasped at the sight of the packed stands.

Scarlett’s team looked disgusted.

They seemed displeased.

“How did this happen…?”

“It means other players are looking forward to it. To see us tear those bugs apart.”

Grrrr-.

The reason for the unusually large crowd was due to extensive publicity.

Who did the publicity?

‘Good. Very good.’

Daimus looked down at the crowd and smiled contentedly.

With this much flow, he could secure enough causality.

‘I deserve to be rewarded for my hard work.’

It had only been four days, but Daimus had suffered mentally because of the error.

The price for that.

Daimus intended to squeeze every bit out of the error.

The causality he left behind would be used beneficially for the dwarves.

「It seems everyone is gathered. Then, I will explain the contents of the match once again.」

To summarize Daimus’s explanation, the match they would be playing was a captain’s battle.

It ends when the captain dies.

It was different from a winning streak match.

A winning streak match is basically 1-on-1, but a captain’s battle is a group fight.

It means a 10-on-10 clash.

“Anyone can win!”

That’s why the spectators were ecstatic.

Since one of the two teams would be annihilated, it would be a bloody slaughter match as thrilling as Earthling entertainment.

Everyone came expecting that.

“Aren’t they the ones who were desperate not to lose the elimination prevention option? So what wind blew them to choose such a reckless match?”

“Who knows? We just have to enjoy it. No matter who dies.”

People chattering among themselves.

“…….”

Most of the spectators sitting in the crowd hoped the Lunacolis tribe would lose, but they knew better than anyone that it wouldn’t happen.

The Lunacolis tribe.

The strongest male in that team, Necher Fer, stepped forward.

Standing upright in the center of the arena, he drew the spectators’ attention.

“…No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like Lunacolis will lose.”

“How can you overcome the difference in species?”

Team 1, composed of formidable half-human, half-beast beings.

On the other side, Team 2, a ragtag group of ordinary species.

“Besides, there’s a rumor that there’s an Earthling in the Scarlet team.”

“Earthling?”

Earthling.

If you were to pick the weakest species in the Tower of Struggle, they would be in the top three.

Except for a few species that are despised as insignificant creatures, they are practically at the bottom.

Potential is zero.

But their greed is unmatched compared to other species.

‘Teaming up with those guys to compete against the half-human, half-beast?’

Are they crazy?

Have they finally resolved to die?

The audience all had similar thoughts.

They thought the Scarlet team had gone mad with a death wish.

Even for Scarlet, it was not an easy decision.

For a human, it was natural to feel repulsed by risking one’s life.

But the persuasion worked.

After listening to Kim Min-sung, they saw a glimmer of possibility.

Wasn’t there a reliable basis?

The Error Man had taken down a Lunacolis.

Assuming it wasn’t a coincidence, there was a good chance of winning.

So the Scarlet team risked their lives.

They judged that now, with the Error Man interested in the team, was the right time to secure points.

“…I think we came for nothing. Kerek.”

That didn’t mean courage suddenly welled up, turning them into indomitable warriors.

Gorak and Jade were already regretting it.

‘There’s no turning back now.’

Escape was impossible.

The choices given to them were to die at the hands of the Lunacolis clan or to struggle desperately and seize the opportunity.

Scarlet gripped the spear tightly.

Even though they were just standing off, their hands were drenched in sweat.

‘…But what are you, really.’

Scarlet glanced sideways.

Kim Min-seong, the Earthling who calls the Error Person his brother, is visible.

She couldn’t understand Kim Min-seong’s expression at all.

‘…Why isn’t he scared?’

From what she observed over the past two days, Kim Min-seong is not an Earthling with special skills like the Error Person.

Just a bug like any other Earthling.

In terms of the Soul System, a player with stats roughly between 10 and 11.

‘…Why does he think he’ll win for sure?’

There was a sense of belief on Kim Min-seong’s face.

Eyes filled with confidence, as if guaranteeing the Error Person’s victory.

It didn’t make sense.

“Please register the captain.”

The Lunacolis tribe had already chosen their captain.

Necher Fer.

He was the strongest male in the team.

Scarlett hesitated for a moment.

There was no prior discussion, so she needed time to decide.

“Give me the captain.”

The Error Person spoke with a bizarre helmet on his head.

The sound seemed to wander inside the helmet, echoing.

“…If the captain dies, it’s over. Are you confident?”

“Yes.”

“If you die, we all die. Remember that.”

“Got it.”

The Error Person spoke nonchalantly.

Some might think that answer was irresponsible, but Scarlett was different.

She felt confidence from the Error Person’s indifferent demeanor.

“The captains of each team have been decided.”

A large crown was placed on the captain’s head.

It was chilling, as if telling them to target the captain openly.

“Now, let’s start the match.”

Countdown.

The crowd shouts together, their roar deafening as if it would tear the eardrums apart.

But it cannot be heard.

The eyes and ears of the tense Scarlet team were focused on the Lunacolis tribe.

Bwooo-!

With the resounding trumpet sound, the Lunacolis tribe charges at the Scarlet team.

Kuh-ung-!

Their speed was so fast that Kim Min-seong couldn’t even think of reacting.

Because all his stats except for luck were at 10.

‘Reach, reach out your hand.’

Terrified, he took a few steps back but kept to what had been told beforehand.

He reached out his hand, pretending to use a skill.

[Frozen Prison]

At that moment, an ice wall shot up, trapping one of the Lunacolis.

‘Hyeong…!’

I believed in you…!

Kim Min-seong looked at Oruin with a face full of emotion.

“Min-seong! Get a grip!”

Lee Soo-jung’s sharp voice snapped Kim Min-seong back to his senses.

The two struggled together to avoid death.

“Kerrk! I, I’m going to die! I don’t want to die!”

The rest of the team was in a similar situation.

They were desperately running away from the Lunacolis.

The only ones in a slightly better situation were Grash and Sergey.

They had the skill to hold one Lunacolis at bay for a moment.

But they couldn’t win.

“Krurrr. The price for recklessly attacking. Pay with your life.”

“…Kuh!”

Scarlet thrust her spear.

It was a rather quick stab, but futile.

It did not reach the Lunacolis tribe.

‘Fa, faster!’

The Error Man must capture the enemy commander.

That is the only way out.

The wait was not long.

“What is that guy doing now?”

“Wasn’t he an Earthling?”

“There should be only a few Earthlings walking around in martial arts uniforms. You can’t be sure just by looking at the surface.”

Martial artists take a unique stance before performing their techniques.

A seemingly defenseless stance.

“Strange?”

The subtlety contained within it was not something to be judged lightly.

It was a challenge to the respective sect.

Of course, the Error Man’s successor was different.

It could be judged recklessly.

It was okay to take it lightly.

From noble mtl dot com

After all, it was just a clumsy imitation.

‘Meaning? I don’t care about that.’

The meaning contained in the technique or whatever.

As long as it looks similar on the surface, that’s enough.

‘Combine the strong strike and the three-element sword technique thrust.’

He mimics the technique that Eun Seoryeong performed.

His athletic ability made it possible.

‘Leave the speed support to agility stats, and borrow the power of the strong strike and the three-element sword technique for damage.’

Using breath would end it.

But he couldn’t do that.

‘With so many spectators.’

You shouldn’t assume that all of them are favorable to dragons.

There might be a strong person who gets thorns in their mouth just by seeing a dragon, like the Middle-earth Sword Master seen in the first-floor crew making.

So the Error Man made a choice.

Decided to hide the Dragon Breath.

Wearing the helmet was also in that context.

“Hu-ye-sa-il.”

Rushed forward.

The maximum speed that Oryuin could boast.

If something went wrong, it might result in a fatal injury.

If the opponent was faster than Hu-ye-sa-il’s move, it was no different from running to one’s death.

But there was no fear.

Oryuin, who activated Cheolpo-samgong, had become a cannonball, not an arrow of Hu-ye.

“Krurrr! Die…!”

The captain of the Scarlet Team is charging.

It’s almost like begging to be killed.

From the perspective of the Lunacolis tribe, even mutual destruction would be beneficial.

For pride.

Abandoning defense, sharp claws were thrust towards Oryuin.

Puuuk-!

[Absorbing the soul of Azar Per (Lunacolis).]

[Strength increases by 0.03.]

The one dying is Lunacolis.

[The Soul System successfully implements part of Azar Per’s soul.]
