Zareth froze in place as the weight of [Doom] struck him.
His entire body stiffened, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Sam's heart pounded as he confirmed the thing he had wondered about.
He had always known his [Gaze of the Primordial] wouldn't work against beings like this.
Bosses, powerful awakeners, or entities beyond were supposed to be untouchable by most status effects.
Even something as absolute as [Doom] was normally useless against them, because their resistance bordered on complete immunity.
And yet, when Sam had felt himself slowed by [Corruption Freeze] despite being immune, he realized the truth.
It wasn't that these beings couldn't be affected at all.
It was that their physical bodies resisted everything thrown at them.
But if he directed the effect at their very soul instead of their flesh…
'That's it,' Sam thought, his crimson spiraled eyes glinting with sharp realization.
He had been hit because his own soul was struck directly. That was the key.
