You will also find the Chromatic Aberration inside the Endless Tower as the notable enemy for Stage 5, Trial 3.

It is important that you dodge and parry the Chromatic Aberration's attacks, as its Light attacks can apply Burn, while its Dark attacks can apply Blight.
By dodging and parrying, not only do you mitigate damage, but you will also be able to avoid these dangerous debuffs.

If you are not confident in your dodging and parrying skills, it is a good idea to equip the Anti-Blight and Anti-Burn Luminas to make sure that the debuffs do not get applied even if you get hit by the Chromatic Aberration's attacks.
