Chapter 137 – My Destiny?

Telephassa was in tears. The beads of crystal-like tears were dripping down her half exposed delicate white breasts. With this type of reply, even if they could not be together, she was still satisfied. Even though there were tear stains on her face, she still left the window area with a smile.

“That’s right. This warring period has brought her majesty nothing but endless suffering. Being able to realize this and making the right choice is proof that the Gods did not choose wrongly. Mr. Lei Yu, I hope you can fulfill your destiny. Only by completing it will you be able to leave ancient Greece and return to your time period.”

“Destiny? What sort of destiny do I have to fulfill?” Lei Yu asked while scratching his head.

“You should know about the Minotaur Linos, right?”

“I do, it’s a…”

“A monster, right?” said the prophet.

“I’m sorry, I’ve only seen a picture of it on the flag here, so I didn’t know how to put it politely.”

“Don’t worry about it. He is in fact a monster because young virgin boys and girls are its food. But even after thousands of years, none of the populace has come to hate it, because there’s a story behind all of this. Over a thousand years ago, Minotaur Linos wasn’t like how he is rumored to be now. Although he has a fearsome appearance, a bull’s head and a human’s body, he was in fact a brave warrior. If it weren’t for him, then this kingdom would have never survived until now. However, because of our enemies sealing him in the Cretan Labyrinth, he had to consume the blood and flesh of young virgin boys and girls in order to withstand the labyrinth’s seal.

“Are you saying that the rumor of annual tributes of a young virgin boy and girl is actually true?” Lei Yu was shocked, he had never thought that the legendary myth was actually true.

“That’s right, and to this date the populace has had no complaints or regrets. If it weren’t for Minotaur Linos using his powers to protect this place, it wouldn’t have survived to now, with many generations of offsprings to show for. Therefore he… is guiltless.”

“Then, what do you want me to do?” Lei Yu asked.

“Before Minotaur Linos was sealed, Silo was actually his messenger placed here. The purpose was to make Silo protect this country. During times of war, Silo had a powerful physique, which caused our enemies to shake in fear and not dare to fight with us. That’s how we’ve come to attain this level of prosperity. It was also because of all the killings that Silo’s blood thirst has become stronger and stronger. But in recent years, there haven’t been many wars, so his blood thirst could not be satisfied and so it’s only worsened, requiring him to eat human flesh in order to suppress the blood thirst. And today, your arrival is perhaps a test by the Gods. Defeating Silo means you have powers beyond those of a human, showing that only you are able to undo the seal. Rescue Minotaur Linos; and then enlighten it.”

Lei Yu finally understood why when fighting Silo, Telephassa spoke out and stopped him from dealing the killing blow. It turns out Silo was more or less the country’s guardian.

“Then, that Cretan Labyrinth you’ve been talking about wouldn’t be that…?!”

“That’s right, the way you came to this time period would be the means you leave this place as well – solve the labyrinth and find the Water of the Gods. Then you can use the golden bowl to break the seal and free Minotaur Linos.

Lei Yu’s heart was feeling like luck was on his side, since he had been fortunate enough to have the golden bowl already stored inside his storage ring, or else there would have been no way for him to fulfill what Prophet Kalchas considered to be this so-called destiny.
