There was once a legend that said alchemy can bring about the hidden truth of everything in the realm of the living. Theories were written, and studies have been made from a wide variety of subjects. Whether they may fall into the living, inanimate objects, rare minerals, or monster drops. As much as they praise this incredible class, it was said that only a select few have succeeded
[System: 2 hours, 19 minutes, and 26 seconds before the presence warding potion will reach its expiration]
"I still have a lot of time before I take another gulp, it's truly an amazing skill that I was able to regain. This skill is the only thing that ties everything I've learned from alchemy altogether. A skill that has everything and yet it can still grow as time started to pass," He opens his status after his little leeches were busy dissecting the corpses of the imps. He may have gathered a ton of items, however, Neon was far too greedy to let a single item become a waste

"It looks like all of them are finished with their assignment... The devouring leech, I remembered that it was a monster that can spawn tiny versions of itself. When I thought of using its large and small intestines as a way to process nutrition. I never thought I'd gain the ability to not only summon forth a leech but I can command them at will," Once the leaches were finished with their meal, they entered his body without any difficulties
[System: The devouring leeches' hunger has been satisfied, and the guardian has gained 7 stat points both on mana and intelligence]

"Finally, I obtained a Green thumb after I added some of the rotting flesh of those monsters as my fertilizer. With the help of some stimulants I've concucted, I only need is a herb and I can increase their growth rate. This is one of the things that I wanted the most to acquire because of that. I don't have to risk my life to gather a few herbs when im missing a few in my inventory. I should make a pot and find a water source once im finished with this crisis," There wasn't much he could've used to make such a grand and powerful weapon by hand. Which made him call upon the system even though he knows of the risk
[System: You've entered the crafting function, a function where a guardian is allowed to create what they desire. However, the higher and more valuable the items are the system won't compensate for any loss. This function may spark a major impact and could even lead to the mass production of weapons. The function has been nerfed so that there's a chance that you may lose or even the result will not match the same rank. This nerf made the rise of personal workshops for both blacksmithing and alchemical companies]
[System: You've appointed 30 unused stats to [Luck] the probability rate has drastically increased in your favor. Your stat has now changed from 35 - 65, there's a possibility that your luck may affect your life. However, it's not known when or where it will occur, sometimes it will naturally appear]
"This is one of the side experiments I've been trying to complete apart from the homunculus I called Second chance. The process of creating weapons, items, and possibly armor with the use of alchemy. Which came to be labeled as alchemical crafts, a study that I postponed when I first succeeded in my homunculus project. I wonder how much I've regained after I gained my most prized skill out of everything I've acquired," Upon opening the function a bunch of tools and equipment appeared at his front
A forge, that would melt any kind of metal or hard materials originating from that of a monster. As grand as it may be, the craftsmanship that he studied didn't rely on the world of blacksmiths. Neon took a step forward in front of the huge cauldron meant only for an alchemist. With just a hint of his mana being detected, it lights a fire that changes from what he desires. He was taken aback by a scream that appeared out of nowhere and proceeds with his objective
"The cauldron should be applied with a special kind of liquid that's purpose is to combine. A large sum of adhesive which I gained from a few herbs I've found from my travels, processed and completed. Next, the temperature should be at least at a level where it wouldn't burn. Continue with that and later change its temperature, before that one should place the items he wanted to craft. Next, choose between a weapon, item, or armor, for now, I need a weapon, and finally stir the cauldron," After he applied every single step as he remembered with the help of his skill
Neon took a ladle from his inventory and slowly brew the cauldron filled with every single material he acquired. The imp's heart is where they store their magic which makes up for a perfect catalyst. The eyes were said to possess magical attributes and their hands acted like a wand or a staff. Normally it would've taken these devils to chant, however, they only seem to wave their fingers. Due to this fact, he learns that their hands have an ability that correlates with a wand
"I would've wanted to eat their core to increase my stats, but I desire a weapon, power can be gained. But no amount of power will prove to be useful if the guardian has no such weaponry. The imp's magic core, I sacrifice to amplify and enhance the quality of the weapon," He cracked the core, and soon after he applied the fluid within the core to his cauldron. It was said that the core has its soul, or maybe it contains its regrets, anger, and resentment toward its killer. When he applied all of it to the cauldron, it created a bright and binding brilliance of light
"Holy, mother of monsters!!? This is incredible," His body was being pushed back by the sheer force created by the monster cores in the mix. He notices the brilliant light had vegan to change to a dreadful and consuming darkness. Regrets and curses of the monsters he killed poured out as he hears their cries for the second time
'Graaaahh!!! Die!!!! Die!!! Die!!!'
'You'll regret making a fool out of me!!!'
'I'll curse until the day you'd die!!!'
'May your kind perish by your cruelty!!!'
After that overwhelming flow of intense bloodlust being aimed at his body, not once has Neon lost his grip. He kept on stirring the cauldron whilst he endured the agony that was aimed at his body. Despair, anxiety, and negative emotions well up inside his body, however, he was able to endure. The pressure he received wasn't that intense compared to when he ate the core of the void serpent
"The time has come!!!" He lets go of the ladle and drives his arms deep into the cauldron whilst he commands it to increase its flames. The temperature was at a level where his flesh would've been burnt if his scale hadn't reacted in time. The items started to change back to a brilliant glow after it was injected with a ton of mana. It was able to react with the adhesive and even control its flow making it his only way in shaping his weapon
[System: Due to wisdom originating from Unparalleled alchemical knowledge, the guardian was able to control the adhesive. The adhesive fluid can provide better and more precise control of your reshaping process. The last procedure of the alchemical craft is near its end]
His mana started to reach the materials and then on, Neon performed reshaping and modeling his weapon to his will. Slowly it changes from a chunk of unchanged materials to a piece of item shrouded by a bright glow. When everything was concluded it created a powerful explosion that alerted the monsters in his vicinity
"Graaaahh!!!" They quickly rushed to the location only to see a sight of a massive landscape covered in a sea of flames. There wasn't a trace of life nor did they detect a magic circle that would've caused such an explosion. On the other hand, Neon was casually chilling on top of an overgrown vine which he manifested from his skill. That synergizes with his green thumb that accelerated its growth rate
"Haaa... Haaa... Haa... Brilliant!!!" Neon could only say when he sees the result of his hard work
