Only My Skill Tooltip Is Strange

Chapter 87

It was easy to subdue the police players. Even if they gathered and attacked, they couldn’t stop me.

Knowing this, they resorted to reckless, self-destructive melee charges. Of course, it didn’t work.

‘I just need to avoid using the heavy strike.’

If I used the heavy strike, the opponent would die. Tooltip errors were inconvenient in situations like this.

I didn’t eliminate the police players and headed towards the place where the artifact was. Alice was waiting there.

“We need to stop the telekinetic user.” “What about the other thieves?” “They are waiting nearby. It’s disadvantageous to group up against a telekinetic user.”

There are different kinds of telekinetic users. While there are many support abilities, there are also many abilities specialized for killing.

Yuki had a powerful ice-based telekinetic ability. Depending on how it was used, it could become a killing tool.

That’s why it wasn’t a good idea to group up and rush her. Honestly speaking, it would have been disadvantageous.

“One of the advantages of telekinesis is the overwhelming speed of activation. If it’s a weak one, they’re actually a hindrance.”

Yuki’s telekinesis is said to be one of the fastest in that dimension. If she aimed, dodging was practically impossible due to the speed.

‘Can I dodge?’

If my survival instincts activate, I might barely manage to avoid it. But without a clear standard, it was hard to be sure I’d win.

‘Light is faster than ice. So, catching Yuki should be possible, right?’

I shook my head.

Catching Hikari had been purely luck. I had analyzed the pattern and fought in a way I couldn’t lose, so I succeeded.

‘...Maybe Yuki’s level is lower. It felt like she couldn’t attack from a distance. So...’

I made a plan to use the heavy strike at the point Hikari aimed for. It was a victory method utilizing the Soul System, similar to damage reflection.

But Yuki was different. If Yuki attacked from a distance, we would be completely helpless.

“Don’t worry too much. Even at the level of an expert, I was able to dodge.”

“Is that so?”

A mana expert is considered a superhuman. Even seemingly impossible feats can be achieved easily.

Honestly, I wasn’t a peak islander. I was closer to a superhuman, similar to an expert.

“You haven’t forgotten our promise, right?”

Before entering, Alice asked while looking at me. I nodded to reassure her.

“I’ll clear the way. You take the artifact and run.”

“Can you catch the telekinetic user?”

“If I just avoid instant death, I think we’ll manage.”

I had raised my health stats quite a bit. I wouldn’t die from a single blow.

At least I’d survive for one round. That was my expectation.

Since I didn’t know much about Yuki’s attack power, I had to rely on instinct for everything.

‘Elemental damage is pure luck.’

If it was spell damage, I could block it with resistance. Thanks to the Illusory Grimoire, my wisdom was high, making my durability just as good.

But there was no way to block elemental damage. Unless I had a skill with the opposing element, I had to endure the damage with my body.

Otherwise, I’d have to rely on dodging.

“...What are you doing?”

I activated my survival instincts. I had to sacrifice some health in an embarrassing way for survival.

Alice’s eyes narrowed. She looked at me like I was an animal in a zoo.

I ignored her gaze. Engaging with her would be my loss.

“I’m going to stop Yuki.” “I understand. I’ll contact the other players.”

The more people attracted attention, the better. Since the other thief players hadn’t been eliminated yet, I planned to create some chaos with them.

“Well, then it can’t be helped.”

Alice said nonchalantly.

“That means I misjudged someone.”

She didn’t say anything further as she drew her sword. She swung her bright blue aura and moved towards Yuki.

Yuki aimed at Alice and activated her ice-based telekinesis, but she missed.

“Few humans in your dimension can move this fast, right? So it’s probably not easy to follow me.”

Alice didn’t falter against Yuki. As long as she wasn’t caught by the freezing ability, she could handle Yuki just fine.

“There may not be many fast humans, but there are plenty of fast monsters. Like you.”

The ice around Yuki began to rise rapidly. It was on a scale that far exceeded Frozen Prison, quickly covering the area.

I had seen this power before. On the 3rd floor, when it froze the sea.

Whooooshhh-!

I immediately unleashed the Hatchling Breath. The species was Red Dragon. The flame breath clashed with the freezing storm.

It was evenly matched. If it had been a real dragon breath, I would’ve pushed the telekinesis aside instantly.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a real breath. Just a fake breath.

It was merely a skill buffed by the Soul System.

Of course, it was more than enough. No matter how powerful a telekinetic user was, they couldn’t ignore damage that exceeded their health.

“No, you have to do your part. Error Player. Are you not betraying?”

Yuki dodged the Hatchling Breath. She melted her body to make the breath miss.

It was a mechanism similar to Hikari’s photonic conversion. Unlike Hikari, who could only convert her own body, Yuki could use her freezing manipulation to attack from a distance.

‘No wonder she’s the boss.’

Anyway, the Hatchling Breath was just a bait. I used a skill to hide Alice’s position, and that was enough.

Yuki tried to find Alice, but it was useless. Alice had completely concealed her presence.

“...The fact that you came here means the target artifact is on this floor.”

“Does it change anything if you know?”

I didn’t listen to Yuki and activated the Ground Slam.

“Oof.”

Yuki melted her body again to dodge the Ground Slam.

“Telekinetic users. You’re too weak.”

“There aren’t many telekinetic users like me.”

Yuki chuckled.

“By the way, Error Player, why aren’t you doing your secret police mission?”

“There’s no need.”

“You caused a lot of trouble during the Poison King mission. Why? Oh, wait, are you helping because she’s a woman?”

“Shut up.”

I activated the Shelling Attack. Yuki created an ice wall similar to Frozen Prison to block it.

“It’s not like that.”

“I’m curious about the reason.”

“I don’t need to tell you.”

Yuki chuckled at my response.

“If I like the reason, maybe I’ll step back willingly.”

“......”
