Chapter 142 – Golden Bull God

The two went straight out to the other end of the path. As they neared the exit, Lei Yu used the incantation that Prophet Kalchas had previously taught him. This incantation was exactly the same as the ancient Greek scrolls he had inside his storage ring, which he had originally used to open the big boulder.

In the beginning, Lei Yu couldn’t understand how he was able to communicate with the people here. Lei Yu was pretty sure that he had never come into contact with learning the Greek language before, but compared to him transcending time and space, this language mystery wasn’t such a big deal. After Prophet Kalchas’s explanation, Lei Yu had realized that the day he’d come into contact with the spring water, the moment the multitude of images in his mind had appeared, he’d happened to form some type of connection with the ancient Greek language. Perhaps this was a foundation that was laid to assist his arrival to this place.

The sunlight outside shining on the labyrinth made Minotaur Linos and Lei Yu have some difficulty opening their eyes. At the edge of the cliff, a person wearing a large black cloak was trembling non-stop, as he walked one step at a time towards the two.

“Kalchas, the mission you have entrusted to me has been completed. But I temporarily can’t leave yet, I’ve promised a friend to help him accomplish a task,” Said Lei Yu with a smile.

Although there was a smile on his face, it wasn’t hard to see that Lei Yu was holding back a lot of pain. The clothes on his body were all shredded; his whole body covered in blood, even his face had traces of blood on it! On his chest was a horrendous wound that people seeing it would feel worried about.

“Thank… thank you! Thank you so much!” As Kalchas neared the two, Minotaur Linos looked at this person with uncertainty. This person looked somewhat familiar, but because of the hood, he couldn’t really see the person’s face.

Kalchas’s voice was quivering as he excitedly walked up to Minotaur Linos. “Plop!” His knees landed on the ground. “Master! Master! You’ve finally come out! Kalchas can finally see you again!”

“Kalchas! You’re Kalchas?!” The big bull-head who already had big eyes opened them even wider, scaring the daylights out of Lei Yu. It was apparent these two knew each other.

“I knew something was up,” Lei Yu thought as he coughed a bit, the pain in his chest bothering him immensely. It was obvious these two knew each other, but Lei Yu didn’t feel like waiting for them to reminisce. “Can’t you guys chat after we go back? At least talk after I’m healed up or something.”

“Uh…, sorry, sorry!” Minotaur Linos helped Kalchas off the ground. The big bull-head then walked up to Lei Yu, “Let’s go, I’ll carry you!”

Lei Yu frantically waved his arms, “It’s okay, it’s better that I ride a horse!”

Lei Yu had some trouble understanding how Minotaur Linos, a once mighty and fearsome fiendgod, had turned out to be such a nice character.

“Benefactor, no need to be so courteous. Have you forgotten that I’m much faster than a horse? I still have these boots given by the God of War – Ares.”

“Ares boots?” This was the first time Lei Yu had heard of this term. But, when it came to the legends of the God of War, he too had heard a bit about them. It appeared that he had originally been calling them golden this and golden that, when they actually had their own name.

Kalchas’s jaws had already dropped on the floor from incredulity, but because he was covered by the cloak, no one else could see his expression. He had never imagined that the great Minotaur Linos would be willing to carry someone on his back. If this was back then, he still wouldn’t have believed it, even if you would have beat him to death. Perhaps, over the course of the millennia, time could mellow out a person. No, we should accurately say that it had mellowed out the blood of a half-human, half-beast entity.

“No need to be so courteous, just wait a bit!” Minotaur Linos walked forward a few steps and, once he was about five meters from Lei Yu, his hands started rubbing the horns on his head.

“What the hell, what’s he trying to do?” Lei Yu blinked in confusion.

“Moo~!” The unique sound of cattle’s was heard as Minotaur Linos cried out to the sky. The sound was so high pitched that it made people somewhat uncomfortable. And at the same time a golden glow surrounded him, as his entire body started undergoing changes. He was now standing on all four limbs, golden hair had started sprouting, covering his body, and his body also started getting larger. Being wrapped in that golden light, Minotaur Linos’s original human body gradually became like a bovine’s. He was now humongous; over six meters wide and around four meters tall. The sudden appearance of a huge golden bull shocked Lei Yu beyond words. And, the oddest thing was, a saddle had appeared on the back of this bull, from who knew where. This huge golden saddle that had mysteriously appeared was quite dominant looking.

On the ox’s four hooves, there were U-shaped horseshoes that should not have belonged to the bovidae family. These were horseshoes, but they did add a bit to his divinity look. The most striking feature was his head; wrapped around his two horns were a type of particularly eye-catching glittering covers.

Lei Yu was pretty sure that these were actually the transformed three pieces of Ares’s war equipment. The saddle on the back of the bull was the Ares armor; the horseshoes on its hooves – Ares boots, and the covers on the horns were most likely the Ares axe.

The huge golden bull turned around, its nostrils constantly discharging white steam. “Today’s weather isn’t that cold, right?” Lei Yu thought to himself as he was furiously blinking at the sight. Lei Yu had finally noticed that the previous bull-head had become a cool-looking golden bull, with quite the domineering presence. Whoever rode on his back would probably gain a great amount of face.

“Please,” said the golden bull in human words. Lei Yu didn’t bother holding back, and walked up to Minotaur Linos. He then lightly jumped onto the saddle on his back.

“Moo~!”

Once again he cried out. “Boom! Boom!” The two huge hooves trampled on the ground, emitting an earth-shattering sound. Kalchas had finally woken up from his shock. Pulling one horse, and jumping on top of another, he followed far behind the bull’s behind, with Lei Yu on top of it, unable to catch up.

Lei Yu was extremely shocked, because he was simply unable to see his environment clearly; the scene in front of him would disappear behind him in an instant. Lei Yu was sure that if he was to wear the Ares boots, his speed would most likely be only half of this. But, if one really thought about this, Lei Yu only had two legs, while Minotaur Linos had four right now. If he reverted back to his human form, who knew which of them would be faster.

Riding as swift as the wind had satisfied Lei Yu’s need for speed. The long distance had been traversed by the super-fast golden bull in less than one-third of the original time. They had arrived in front of the city’s main gates.

“Wow!”
