It's been weeks since they entered this abode and one of the things that worry Neon the most was the thing that awaited their arrival. Even though these monsters scaled with their levels, no one would dare belittle the keeper of the tower. But something felt different, the moment he obtained his title he felt more and more doubtful of his conducted study and questioned them about its entirety
'Room shifting, from the moment I've stepped inside a tower never have I experienced an anomaly such as this. The beings which inhabited this tower and labels it their home are far too cunning, how is it possible for them to teleport? Even with the use of my abyssal sense, I couldn't fathom the knowledge they possess. I guess there's a first for everyone, either this is new information found before I awaken, or something that I discovered alone,'
He takes out a notebook from his inventory where he wrote every single one of the anomalies he encountered. Monsters emerging from the shadows possess intelligence similar to that of a rational being, and most of all atmosphere of the tower. Even though it was completely sealed off from the reach of the outside world, he could feel an unsettling air coming about his direction as they advanced to the next level
'We're currently residing on the 7th floor and yet my instincts are telling me that I can no longer hold back. The towers function like a special event exclusive content where it only last about a few clears. From what I've gathered so far I can't imagine myself going back for a second round since it'll become more difficult. Because of that, I've tried practicing the newly acquired ability from my evolution,'
When he finishes writing his newly gathered information, he sets off after his senses alerted him of some intruders. He left his exhausted disciple who hadn't yet fully recovered from their journey and fell asleep in his time of need. Because of the weight of their situation, he never bothered on disturbing his slumber and calls for his lesser homunculus to guard his side
[System: A unique ability from the guardian's race called the [Homunculus] has been triggered
Outcome: Lesser homunculus has detached itself from its host, the homunculus will follow your every command]
The gigantic monster that originated from his severed arm appeared before him and kneel in his presence. It seems to have changed since he evolved and instead of a form that harbors an appearance of a gigantic hand, it became somewhat human. Though it was only a matter of time before it would reach this point, however, it doesn't possess a will
'In the end, even the greatest alchemist was unable to create free will... Sure the lesser homunculus is reaching its end, and soon enough will attain its next form. Nonetheless, it's similar to an animal, it has a consciousness of its own and acts on instinct, but that's that. It doesn't possess the capacity of becoming a human, so in the end, my sacrifice of creating this was a failure. But instead of creating life, I've made the most successful way for the resurrection,'
"Even if it cost you your life, protect my disciple at all cost. That's my order, and if you felt my life being threatened ignore me and continue protecting him. That's all I have to say, now go and do as I command," When his orders were heard the homunculus quickly left his side and ran to the side of his disciple
'Now that's all said and done, it's about time I've taken this voyage of mine to its fullest extent,'

After he received the following perks he stacked one after another, and he gained a bonus and a rise to his level. He wore the equipment he gained from his efforts, and he finally arrived at the entrance to the 7th floor. He was standing in front of a gorge filled to the brim with the presence of monsters, there weren't any other passages and he deems it to be the entrance. Neon dives head first and once his view darkened the shadows he thought were walls sparked
It was the eyes of his enemies and the quiet atmosphere ended and his ears were filled with maniacal laughter. As he falls he decided their presence drew near in his body and a slight hint of pressure was felt on his side. There was a vague sound of a swing and what followed was a foul scent etched into his nose and a liquid poured into his flesh
[System: The guardian's unique race ability has been triggered by the host's command!!!
[Catastrophic form]: The Chosen part is the golden abyssal tiger, the host's following stats have been increased!!! Attack, Speed, Stamina, Intelligence, and Dexterity have been increased by 50% of the host's current stats
[Abyssal Tiger]: The monster born from the abyss was said to possess incredibly heightened senses. Even the darkest parts of the world will be full of light for this beast, and it was said to possess a golden aura. This aura emanating was said to possess the powers of the abyss and allows this beast to move freely in the void]
With just a gaze in his eyes, the monster saw was not a human but a monster wearing its flesh. His view became clearer and he could differentiate his enemies from his surrounding. Those who charged and covered every side enclosed him kn their attacks were brutally slaughtered by his hand. Their limbs came falling and through the surface and most of their body amounted to the size of a grain
The cackling of the monster was put to a stop when they saw an individual covered in white standing on the surface of the gorge. His hands and feet were that of a beast and his eyes would sparkle with a glimmer that was identical to gold. The glow was enticing and the monsters were incapable of having the bravery for one to stand close to his presence. But their options were only limited to one, he disappeared from the surface and reappeared afloat in the air
A swing of his claws releases a golden streak that reaches the vicinity of his enemies and with his eyes, he sees every single one of their deaths. The silence was changed to screams of terror and a gaze of his eyes was enough for them to take their lives. They'd seen him as an inescapable end, and they had no other choice but to end their miserable lives
"Do you think I'll allow you to die on your terms?" Before their blades and spells would fire off and reach their flesh, his claws would easily take their lives
He couldn't fathom the measure of his form and he wasn't yet using it to its fullest extent, and his enemies would easily perish in his swings. A step could easily allow him to reach his prey, and when he entered the void he can easily appear on their backs. In the darkness, these monsters lurked but they too were unable to match his prowess. They who lived their entirety in the shadows have finally come across the eyes of the abyss and that was when they too lost all of their hope
[System: You've achieved an incredible feat!!! The guardian manages to slaughter hundreds of higher leveled monsters with his own and came back as the victor!!!

When he was finished collecting their drops Neon continued on his tracks on finding the next room for him to advance. But on top of the tower lies a frightful aura that's awakened by his transformation. A being clad in armor and covered with darkness has risen from its slumber
"This aura...? Hehehehehe, finally, a Transcender has come!!! Soon my shackles will be fully broken and I can roam freely once again. But the thing that surprises me the most... The most succulent meal, a Transcender has appeared in my abode!!!?"
