Only My Skill Tooltip Is Strange

Chapter 40

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

Descendants of the Twelve Heroes, hybrid humans and beasts.

And then there are the beast-kin, whose bloodline is faintly tied to the heroes.

The beast-kin are born to be slaves.

Luna was one of many slaves.

─ Luna, you are the descendant of the great Lunacolis. You must never forget that. Though your blood is faint and you were born as a beast-kin... you are still a proud heir of the hero’s blood.

Luna bowed her head when she saw the Lunacolis clan.

They were a clan that inherited the blood of ancient heroes strongly, and their nature had manifested in their clan.

A mere beast-kin couldn’t even look at them.@@@@

─ What are these damn pests?

Just because the blood of a hero runs strongly through someone doesn’t mean everyone becomes a hero.

Thwack! Smash-

─ P-please, save me! I won’t do it again! Please, just once!

The glory of the past had already withered, and all that remained was violence perpetuated through bloodlines.

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

Most were too busy enjoying their privileges.

From an early age, Luna had been exposed to this violence.

She had lived her life like this, so she didn’t think much of it.

Whether her parents died or her friends died, she felt no doubt.

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

Otherwise, she would never have questioned it.

That said, her nature didn’t change.

The hero’s blood of Lunacolis flowing through Luna’s veins demanded that she surrender to no one.

─ What the hell are these bastards?

If it hadn’t been for Scarlet, whom she met on the first floor and formed a team with, Luna would have been unable to speak.

She might have been on her knees, begging for mercy.

“......”

Now, facing the Lunacolis clan,

Just by not kneeling, Luna was showing immense courage.

That’s why Scarlet couldn’t back down.

She knew all too well how it felt to be looked down upon, and she wanted to help Luna.

She shouted.

She cursed at the Lunacolis clan.

‘If these bastards try to kill us... I’m not just going to die quietly.’

Entering the Tower of Struggle, Luna had seen many races.

The overwhelming majority were humans.

They were all from different dimensions, but their appearances were quite similar.

Middle Realm inhabitants were mostly Caucasian, and Murim people were mostly East Asian, though there were these meaningful differences.

‘Beast-headed bastards.’

There were various races.

Some had appearances that were difficult to accept.

Hybrids—half human, half beast.

They were different from the beast-kin.

Beast-kin were humans with beast-like features, but hybrids were beasts who had taken on human traits, walking on two legs.

“I didn’t come here to look at you humans. I came to meet the pests.”

The beast-like, threatening sound escaped their mouths.

Krrr.

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

“I’m sure I told you that dying as quickly as possible is the honor of the Wild Kingdom.”

The beast-kin stood before Luna.

With gleaming yellow eyes, it growled.

Luna hunched her shoulders and couldn’t say a word.

She was completely tense.

“You, what are you?”

Scarlet stepped forward.

“Don’t you dare talk like that to Luna. You damn piece of shit.”

The size difference was huge.

Even though Scarlet was not small for a woman, in front of the hybrid beast, she clearly looked like a woman.

“Then, human. Let me ask you. What business do you have interfering with Wild Kingdom matters?”

“Wild Kingdom or whatever. This is the Tower of Struggle. Why are you bringing your hometown's nonsense here?”

Scarlet glared at the hybrids and continued.

“Beast-kin were slaves, so do you act like slaves in the Tower of Struggle too? Is it disgraceful for the weak to struggle for survival in the Wild Kingdom, so you’re just going to die quietly? Is that what you’re saying?”

The hybrid sneered at Luna.

Luna couldn’t meet his eyes and lowered her head deeply.

The food I had just bought scattered on the floor.

Seeing that, I couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.

“Why the hell are you doing this to me? You guys should settle your hometown’s grudges among yourselves. Does it make you feel better to put thorns in my mouth?”

“I can’t stand seeing weaklings. Slaves, pests, and humans like you.”

One of the wolf-headed lackeys grinned and continued.

“We came here and saw you eating and drinking comfortably. Is that a good enough reason?”

“......”

Looking closely, the wolf-headed bastards were looking at everyone but me.

Goblin, Orc, Lizardman, and even Midgardian Sergei.

They were all lowering their heads in front of them.

Only I casually ate meat with a fork.

That must have really pissed them off.

“I’m a Shaolin renegade. You touch me, huh?”

I pushed my chair back and stood up.

Then I faced the hybrid wolf-headed bastard.

“Krrr. No fear, huh? You want to try something?”

They growled like beasts and unsheathed their claws.

They were about to cause a ruckus.

I glanced at them and said,

“...Honestly, this is self-defense.”

If they hadn’t dumped food on me, I would’ve let it go.

I wrapped my punch with force.

Then I struck fast.

Thwack-

My punch landed squarely in his stomach.

“Krrr. You’re confident, huh.”

But he didn’t die.

He withstood my punch.

‘I figured this might happen.’

The damage from my punch was about 1,500%.

That’s roughly 15 times my attack power.

‘It’s not impossible to achieve 150 health.’

If my punch didn’t work,

What’s next?

‘No worries.’

I quickly drew out the golden dagger from my inventory and armed myself with it in my left hand.

Then, once again, I wrapped my punch with force and struck.

Thwack-

The second punch landed in an instant.

A quick attack.

The wolf-headed bastard tried to block my punch with his hand.

“Not bad for a pest, but that won’t be enough to defeat us...”

Yeah, block it.

I calmly landed my punch right into his palm.

Like pounding rice into flour.

[You absorb the soul of Kar Fer (Lunacolis).]

[Your strength increases by 0.03.]

The wolf-headed bastard crumpled and fell to the ground.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t withstand the power of my golden dagger-enhanced punch.

“K-Kar!”

The Lunacolis clan stared at me in horror.

“Oh, damn.”

All eyes were on me.

But I didn’t pay them any attention.

I had no time to look at them.

I was distracted by the message floating in the air.

‘So, if I kill them all, my strength increases by 0.3?’
