Across the arena, the Proctor approached—silent, staff lowered, expression unreadable.
No words were exchanged.
But in his eyes, Alex saw it.
Recognition. Respect.
Alex didn't bask in it.
He just turned his head, breathing slowly, heart pounding.
And then—
A torrent of system notifications erupted before Alex's vision in blinding succession
DING!
[You have received a 7th Tier Essence Root]
[You have slain a Doom-Class Entity: Malik – Corrupted Vessel]
[You have received a Unique Title: Doom Breaker]
[Doom Breaker]
Effects:
• +30% Damage against Abyssal, Corruption, and Doom-type enemies
• -50% Corruption Accumulation
• Immune to Fear-type debuffs from lower-tier Doom creatures
Alex blinked once.
Then again.
"Doom Breaker?" he muttered under his breath, almost disbelieving.
The name carried weight, and the effect was quite fitting.
+30 damage? That was quite a lot.
And it would be especially useful when he fought a doom beast with a high HP pool.
