"Master, we are just projections of our true self, we cannot die even if this projection body we have were killed."
Zell said with her low voice, she is hoping for Remy to understand that.
"I see, I thought you are already a deceased soul," he said with a thoughtful look on his face, then he ask, "Can you still touch and for example, like, can you cook?"
He asked, he wanted a cook. Hoping that he can eat fresh meat that isn't that raw, not overcook, he wonders what they taste like with his cheat ability Undead Appetite.
"We are already dead, but our main soul is sleeping with our original bodies, and for cooking, I... I... I can't."
Zell said with a pale face. She didn't want to become useless as a guide but there's a lot of things that are not allowed. So she hopes she could be of use in other ways.
"I see, then you're useless in a lot of ways," Remy said without caring for the innocent girl's feelings. "However, you're still my pet and that's enough for me. Why aren't you calling me Master, anyway?"
Remy had a playful smile on his face, a beauty of a woman is useless if she is not obedient. Loyalty? He could be careless to that, he already had his cheats on the bad beast that he threw away on his last life on this Symbiotic universe.
With these cheats on his bat beast, he is confident he can face anyone and everything. It doesn't matter if they're faithful, loyal, betrayers, and animosity towards him. Remy would crush them all in the palm of his hand.
He will take everything that he desires. He just needs four more evolutionary orbs to unlock the other cheat moves.
"Wha- Why?" She asked with uncertainty.
"Because I find you cute and I wanted you even if you're a ghost. After all, we will separate after this event, so I will have to enjoy you even if you're a ghost." Remy said without a pause.
"I am cute and you wanted me-."
She muttered, her ghostly aura had a blush on it. Remy was surprised that even a ghost could have it.
Krysta and Missa wanted to warn Zell. However, Zell, looks at Remy with her sparkling eyes, that it's the signal that the duo knew it was too late.
"Ma- Master Remy."
Zell said with a tone that is familiar to Remy, a tone of adoration.
"Good Job." Remy patted her forehead gently.
"Master Remy."
She repeated then with a strangeness of everything. Remy furrowed his brow. He observes that Zell who was supposed to have an emotion of a log smiled.
"I'm please, you smiled at me." He said with a little impressed tone.
"What-?" She exclaimed.
"The since grin that you have on your face right now it is called a smile. People do that when they're happy." He explained warmly.
Zell touches her Russian-like beautiful face and questions, "Is this what you call smile? I forgot about this but it's warm and I am happy inside."
She looks at Remy again and says, "Maybe because of you, Mister Remy."
The warm feeling she is feeling right now is unexplained, but she knew it was because of Remy. Despite the sounds little grumpy, she knew that those words he said are all true.
"Alright, cut it out. It will not last forever after I took on this tower. Your job is over."
Remy continued walking towards the door after saying, followed by the other three heaven-defying beauties. Unknown to him, when he said those words, Zell's expression changed into a sense of sadness.
Then, a little while later, she smiled with a crazed look on her face.
...
Remy looks at the door with Death Gods' symbols on it. There are also words written that say,
"For the challengers of this tower. Know that you may not transform into a symbiosis beast form and full symbiosis combat form. You can only change certain parts of your body."
'I cannot transform fully inside.' Remy said inside his mind. The thing is that this is not an instruction, this is a clear warning.
In the past, those who transformed fully inside will be swarmed by spiritual symbiosis beasts. They can somehow smell those symbiotic cultivators like him who transformed inside.
Although the limit of the cultivation level of the realm of beasts is the first step, rank one, and ten stars. Inside this tower is different, the limit of the beast that Remy remembers is the first step, rank two and ten stars.
Twice powerful from the wild symbiosis beasts outside the tower. A normal symbiotic beast with a cultivation level of the first step, rank one and two-star like him don't stand a chance to the outside beasts.
What more of the tide of symbiosis beasts that have twice the cultivation level of the outside?
"Accept the challenge by putting your arm that is transformed into a symbiosis beast."
It was an instruction to open the door, the second floor of the tower.
Remy looks at his right hand, then like little snakes, some unknown veins spurted out from his skin. Slowly, the human hand he had became a massively built dark violet-colored arm with sharp nails like a knife.
"So this is my arm if I go full symbiosis transformation. It's like that of a Vampire, but bigger and animalistic."
His symbiosis arm and his symbiosis bat beast combined, resulting in this.
He just wondered if he ever entered a higher realm of cultivation, Am I going to become a gigantic Vampire?
He has never seen one.
After a long time of admiring his transformed vampiric arm, he put it to the stone scanner, and then...
Rumble.
Rumble.
Rumble.
The door opened with a foul smell inside. He can feel it and be sure that this is not a battle room, but a survival room.
There are three kinds of rooms in every tower Remy could recall: the survival, battle, and question-and-answer room. Different rules, different rooms, and different punishments.
Remy looked back at the girls. "Are you all coming or not?" He said.
However, seeing that there's no reaction from the girls, he thought of something, 'I forgot, once the trial starts, that's when they'll become useless.'
Remy still couldn't understand what these girls are. Their touch cannot be felt by him and as a death aura being, he still couldn't feel them at all.
Maybe because they mentioned like they are just projection or something.
Remy looks inside the room, a normal person cannot see anything inside. However, he is different. He has the cheat Nightmare Precognition.
He bit his lip and says, "This is gonna be troublesome."
