When Aiden asked Blaine to call over more Mythic Rank Miko, the atmosphere instantly turned strange.
Cheryl couldn’t help but look at Aiden’s back. Her beautiful yet innocent face was filled with confusion and wonder.
She tried hard to think, then suddenly caught on, guessing Aiden’s true motive.
"Aiden must be doing this to gather more intel," Cheryl thought to herself. "Yeah, that’s exactly it."
anwhile, Fiona’s eyes went wide. She instinctively whispered, low and trembling:
"Have you lost your mind? Even one Mythic Rank Miko was already too much to handle," Fiona thought, her eyes wide with panic.
She last saw Aiden fight against a Legendary Rank Demon when she faced that bull-headed beast.
It hadn’t been long since then. Aiden’s power surely hadn’t increased much, so he definitely couldn’t stand a chance against a level 70 Mythic Rank Miko.
On top of that, besides Blaine, there were seven other Miko present!
In this situation, running away imdiately was the only smart choice.
Just then, Fiona noticed Blaine’s expression shift. It went from confused to confident.
"Trying to scare with this? That’s way too low-level," Blaine thought, her serious look fading instantly.
Without a second of hesitation, she pulled out a black bead the size of a tennis ball.
She simply crushed it in her hand, and the bead shattered instantly.
Pale black smoke rushed out, swirling in the air to form a massive, single black eye.
"Let’s see your true level!" Blaine narrowed her eyes.
"Level 50 human? A Legendary Rank class? A Magic Apprentice? An apprentice!" Blaine’s eyes popped open in utter disbelief.
How dare a level 50 human interfere in a battle between her group and Cheryl?
Was he crazy?
Blaine truly couldn’t believe a level 50 human was this brave.
Or maybe, more accurately, she couldn’t decide if he was brave enough to be foolish, or if he was so foolish that he looked brave.
Still, out of caution, Blaine turned to her companions nearby and asked:
"Do Magic Apprentices pose a real threat?"
Almost imdiately, a Miko who knew about humans spoke up:
"Magic Apprentice? That’s the worst class humans have. It has almost no combat power at all."
Hearing that, Blaine fell silent.
The item she had just used was incredibly precious. It could pierce through disguises and reveal a creature’s true level, tier, and other details.
Yet, she had wasted such a rare tool on a worthless human?
Just thinking about it made Blaine’s blood boil.
"Damn it, you can’t run away now," she fud internally.
"I’ll put a slave collar on you and torture you until you beg for rcy!"
Aiden didn’t react to the threats at all.
Everything he said was serious.
His Bane of All Races 2 · genius nightmare quest wasn’t finished yet. In fact, he was hoping more Mythic Rank Miko would show up.
This ti in the Abyss, besides heading to the Red Dwarves Clan territory, he also needed to complete a Class Change quest and finish the Bane of All Races 2 · genius nightmare.
Both of those objectives required killing Mythic Rank creatures from the Abyss.
"Never mind. Just one of you is enough. Anything is better than nothing," Aiden thought with a slight shake of his head, raising the Abyss Fla Demon staff in his hand.
The mont Blaine saw the staff, most of her anger vanished.
"That weapon... its tier must be very high!" she muttered under her breath.
She still had a black orb capable of revealing information. She could easily use it again to check.
However, rembering her previous encounter, she hesitated slightly.
"He’s just a level 50 human. I’m a level 75 Mythic Rank Miko. Even if his staff is Legendary Rank or even Mythic Rank, it won’t stand a chance against ," she reasoned.
Higher levels an a massive gap in power.
For a level 50 Abyss creature to defeat a level 75 Abyss creature was almost impossible.
Unless that level 50 Abyss creature had plenty of high-tier gear, a much higher base tier, and was a genuine genius with huge potential...
The chances were slim.
So, Blaine stopped hesitating. She raised her ice-shaped staff and said calmly, "I’ve never t a fool this confident before."
"Just don’t start begging for rcy later when things go wrong."
As soon as those words left her lips, the tension in the air skyrocketed.
Cheryl took a deep breath, gripping her giant staff tight. Fiona also raised her massive hamr, ready to step in and help Aiden.
"If things really get bad, Aiden, you run first. I’ll hold you back," Cheryl said softly, moving in front of him.
Cheryl knew Aiden’s strength was always growing.
Every ti she saw him, she was shocked by how fast he was leveling up.
But this ti, only a short period had passed since they last t.
Plus, the higher the level, the harder it is to get stronger.
That’s why Cheryl couldn’t help but worry about him.
"No need," Aiden replied calmly.
After dealing with these Miko, he had other things to do. He couldn’t waste too much ti.
In five days, Alexius would bring him the final shard of the secret treasure map. Aiden needed to be back on Earth before then.
So, the fight had to end quickly.
Aiden suddenly reached out with his left hand to stop Cheryl, his voice steady and calm.
"Go find a safe spot with Fiona. This battle will be over soon."
Cheryl and Fiona looked at each other, neither of them backing down.
"Alright," Cheryl said, hesitating for a mont. "We’ll watch first. If you get too overwheld, we’ll jump in."
Aiden nodded and replied, "Fine."
The mont he said that, thick shadows suddenly erupted around him.
In the next instant, Aiden stepped right into the shadows and vanished.
"Here we go again!"
"Battle formation!" Blaine shouted.
The Miko nearby imdiately scrambled into position, forming a tight circle around Blaine in the center.
"Ten seconds!" Blaine said quickly, her expression turning deadly serious. Her Frost Wand began floating automatically at her command.
She clasped her hands together and began chanting a long string of mysterious words at high speed.
The temperature around them plumted, and a thick layer of frost began to form instantly.
"A Venerable Domain?"
"No," Cheryl analyzed rapidly. "It’s sothing similar to a Venerable Domain, but much weaker and requires a long chant."
Without hesitation, she gripped her giant staff, ready to jump in and help Aiden.
But just then, a single beam of golden light suddenly pierced through the dark sky above.
That beam grew brighter and brighter, becoming almost blinding.
In the blink of an eye, a massive ball of golden light filled the sky.
"Light... burning?" Fiona’s eyes widened in shock as she stared fixedly at the golden light overhead.
A stream of mories flooded her mind.
"Father once told that all kinds of mysterious flas exist in this world," she recalled. "My brother was recognized as the strongest Forgemaster in the Red Dwarves Clan specifically because he mastered the Bonerot Ghostfla."
"The Bonerot Ghostfla ranks high among all mysterious flas."
"But the ultimate fla is the Eternal Golden Fla. It evolved from the Divine Golden Sunfla. Among Legendary Flas, the Eternal Golden Fla can lt anything in existence and even bring the dead back to life."
Fiona kept replaying it in her head. The golden fla in the sky looked exactly like burning light, matching the features of the Divine Golden Sunfla perfectly.
"Aiden actually mastered the Divine Golden Sunfla?" Fiona couldn’t hold back her whisper.
Cheryl spun around quickly. "What is that?"
Fiona gave Blaine a sympathetic look before answering.
"A terrifyingly powerful fla. That Mythic Rank Miko has only used ice-based skills, and she’s still relying on them now."
"I think we don’t need to step in. Aiden is definitely going to give her a big surprise in a mont."
Cheryl wasn’t so sure. Aiden had only shown a burst of fire; the real fight hadn’t even started. How could Fiona be so certain about what would happen next?
"I’m from the Red Dwarves Clan," Fiona said confidently. "When it cos to judging fire, we never make mistakes. It’s like Red Dwarves tasting fine wine. The Abyss’s most famous wine experts are actually Red Dwarves!"
But then, sothing crossed her mind, and she let out a sigh.
Cheryl imdiately grew tense. "What’s wrong?"
"Sigh... If only Aiden were a Red Dwarf," Fiona mused. "With the Divine Golden Sunfla, he could definitely beco a Forgemaster capable of crafting Mythic Rank gear!"
"It’s a sha he’s currently a Magic Apprentice," Fiona continued, shaking her head. "To beco a Forgemaster, you need a Second Class Scroll and Malcolm’s approval to enter..."
The odds were too slim. Even if Aiden got the Second Class Scroll, Malcolm—a man who hated both Miko and humans more than anyone—would never approve of him.
In fact, if Aiden showed up before Malcolm, he’d likely just get killed on the spot.
Just as Fiona was lost in those thoughts, Blaine suddenly shouted:
"Winter has co! Freeze everything!"
