Merrick hesitated for a moment but still followed. They moved along the route that had been calculated many times. They passed smoothly and didn't trigger anything strange. "How did you even do that?" Merrick couldn't hold back his curiosity and finally asked. Aiden smiled. "It's simple. These eerie creatures are blind. Just don't let them hear anything." Merrick froze. Does that even make sense? What does he mean by not letting a group of blind things hear anything? Aiden didn't explain and kept walking. "Always talking in riddles with me," Merrick muttered while feeling annoyed. He even wanted to grab Aiden, tie him to a chair, and whip him for three days just to get answers. This kid's secrets are way too tempting. The deeper they went, the more shocked Merrick felt. He was completely stunned.A maze was called a maze for a reason. Its terrain was complicated and messy. Even without monsters, ordinary people almost had no chance of finding the exit. Merrick had traveled everywhere for years. He had his own methods for handling mazes, but this trip made him realize how useless those methods were. Every fork, every hidden danger in the dark, they avoided all of it. It was so smooth that it was frightening. Even when they met monsters they couldn't bypass, Aiden always had a way to get them through safely. … Two hours later, a pale light appeared ahead. "We already found the exit?" The white glow reflected in Merrick's eyes. His old face showed pure confusion. This wasn't clearing a maze. Anyone watching them would think they were on a camping trip. If he had brought some gear, he might have roasted some meat on the spot to celebrate.It was like seeing something so ridiculous that it broke common sense. It was insane. "Right next to it is the boss area. That part is up to you," Aiden said as he narrowed his eyes toward the side. That spot was their real destination. However, no matter how good he was, he couldn't completely fool the eerie boss hiding inside. With his current level, he had no way to escape from that kind of creature. "Leave it to me. You just do what you have to do," Merrick said boldly. The moment they found the exit, he felt fired up. Why should I be scared of some boss now? At worst, he would just run. "Alright." Aiden nodded and was about to move. "Hold on. Let me add some buffs first." Before he could take a step, Merrick raised one hand and turned into a walking buff machine. Chanting echoed through the maze for a long time.Light flashed again and again over the two of them. 'Ding! You received the blessing of the God of Life. Your health doubled. 'Ding! You received the blessing of the God of Agility. Your agility doubled.' Aiden stayed silent. A master was a master. He was as steady as always. Just like last time in the Wyrm's Lair, Merrick stacked buff after buff until he was satisfied. With all those buffs on them, they stepped into the boss area. Whoosh, whoosh. It was a hollow cave. The wind howled. Cold air hit them hard. At the center of the cave lay a giant monster. 'Maze Guardian: Redmaw (Eerie)' 'Rank: Unknown' 'Level: Unknown''Description: Unknown' 'Attributes: Unknown' The level gap was too big. They saw only the name. Everything else was hidden. "So there really is a big difference," Aiden exhaled slowly. His eyes sharpened. In his previous life, he had not faced Redmaw. But the treasure chest was still in the same place, right behind the boss. "What now?" Merrick asked. He even asked for Aiden's opinion without thinking. "Can you see its attributes?" Aiden asked. "A Level 100 enraged eerie boss. It's average," Merrick answered calmly. "Compared to the Holy Judgment Dragon, this thing isn't even close." Aiden thought for a moment. "Before I grab the item, I can avoid alerting the boss. After I get it, you make your move. You must keep me safe." "No problem." Merrick nodded. "I gave you an absolute defense buff just now. You can take at least one hit from the boss. You won't die by accident.""There's something like that?" Aiden raised a brow. He checked his status carefully. Among all the buffs, he really saw "Absolute Defense." There had been so many buffs earlier that he hadn't checked them one by one. "That gives me another option." Aiden felt more at ease. Even if he was confident, when dealing with eerie creatures, more protection was always better.
