Nao's POV:
The air around me was thick with tension, reeking of blood and the oppressive aura of the Overlords. Every step I took felt like walking through a storm of pure malice. But I didn't falter—not when lives depended on me. Not when my father had fallen to protect us all.
I clenched my fists and activated my traits with fierce resolve.
[Trait: Heir of the Darkness — Active!]Effect: Increases STR and AGI by 50% when in darkness.
[Trait: Phantom Executioner — Active!]Effect: Deals 50% more damage against demons and dark-element monsters.
As the darkness around the battlefield thickened, I felt it rush into my veins, empowering me with unnatural force. My muscles tightened, my stance steadied. I could feel my strength and speed nearly doubling in an instant. I wasn't the same warrior I had been mere minutes ago.
I followed it up immediately with a surge of arcane power.
