"WAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
The Minotaur, clad in an iron mask and covered in wounds, charged forward. Bai Ming, casting aside his Master's Mystic Code with a roar of his own, revealed his chiseled physique and charged to meet him.
The next moment, the two powerfully built men collided, locking in a test of strength.
"You've got some strength!"
"I, Asterius, will kill you!"
Asterius roared, while Bai Ming, invigorated, retorted, "You want to kill me? Then try it! Minotaur!"
Their muscles bulged as they gripped each other's hands, both letting out roars.
After a brief struggle, they broke apart. Asterius charged at Bai Ming again, this time not intending to grapple. Bai Ming felt the same.
Bai Ming's punch landed squarely on Asterius's face, shattering the iron mask. Asterius, in turn, landed a punch on Bai Ming's face, sending him stumbling back two steps.
Asterius's blood-red eyes fixed on Bai Ming, his black horns beginning to glow red and grow larger. Bai Ming's smile twisted.
Asterius possessed Strength and Endurance ranked at A++, and Bai Ming had trained his own Strength and Endurance to this level during his time in Heian-kyō.
Upon sensing that Bai Ming's physique and brute strength were in no way inferior to his own, Asterius immediately felt a profound sense of danger. Out of caution, he didn't immediately attack.
Bai Ming took a deep breath, his muscles tensing. "As expected of a monster from the Age of Gods. For the rest of this battle, I won't use any techniques against you."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, Bai Ming's fists rained down on Asterius like a storm. Asterius roared back, throwing punches at Bai Ming, the red light in his eyes flaring. "Ugh, WAAAAAAAAAH!"
Asterius didn't understand why Bai Ming wasn't using a weapon, as he could clearly sense its presence. But since Bai Ming chose to fight him with his fists, he would also fight with his fists. The fact that a man who could make him feel a threat to his life didn't want to kill him confused Asterius, whose brain capacity wasn't that large. Unable to comprehend it, he gave up thinking and focused on holding Bai Ming back.
Chapter 64: With a Physique Like This, Will Men Truly Admire You?
"Useless, useless, useless! All useless! Have your fists not eaten, you bull-headed brute!"
"Ugh, WAAAAAAAAAH!"
Bai Ming and Asterius roared.
There were no techniques, only a pure confrontation of body and strength.
Pain spread across both Asterius's and Bai Ming's bodies, as they either blocked or failed to block each other's punches.
Neither man retreated a single step. However, Asterius's speed was ultimately slower, and Bai Ming's fists landed on him more often than his landed on Bai Ming.
Even with A++ Endurance, Asterius's body began to weaken under the onslaught of Bai Ming's berserk strength.
At this point, Bai Ming stopped. Panting heavily, he said, "You're done for. You can't stop me anymore."
"Prot—Protect!"
Asterius roared again, and as he tried to throw another punch, Bai Ming sent him flying with a single blow. Asterius struggled to his feet, blocking the labyrinth's entrance with all his might.
The roars of their battle were so loud that the goddess Euryale, within the dungeon, emerged from it.
"Alright! That's enough! I'll go with you! Asterius is on the verge of death, he's not an important combatant anymore, is he? There's no need to kill him—"
A short, purple-haired, twin-tailed, flat-chested loli, barely over 1.3 meters tall, ran out from the entrance, her face contorted in anger. "Kill me, gut me, do whatever you want! Just hurry up! Asterius, you can go back to the dungeon."
Bai Ming remained silent, watching the golden-eyed loli speak incessantly in her slightly haughty tone.
"I'll lead the way— Huh? Huh? A human? You... aren't you the Master of 'that thing'? Why are you here? You should really discipline your Servant! What's with that perverted Servant? There isn't anyone that perverted in this entire series!"
Upon realizing Bai Ming was human, Euryale immediately launched into a tirade. Seeing Euryale's demeanor, Bai Ming was suddenly reminded of Olga Marie's feigned strength.
These two were equally formidable when they were scolding someone without understanding the situation.
"First off, I'm from Chaldea, not some random 'thing' you're talking about. Secondly, aren't all of you Greek gods perverted? Zeus, who sleeps with everyone and is slept with by everyone? Or Hephaestus, who chases Athena with marriage proposals while masturbating, only to shoot Athena in the leg?"
Bai Ming retorted sharply, leaving Euryale speechless.
As the atmosphere turned silent, Mash's voice echoed from the other end of the labyrinth passage. "Ah! Senpai! You're really here, and with two Servants... It looks like they've been subdued by Senpai..."
Mash's expression shifted rapidly with her emotions, from surprise to helplessness. The girl looked at the despairing 1.34-meter loli, then at the giant Minotaur behind her.
"Hah—A country bumpkin with a shield, and a woman who's overdeveloped." Euryale seemed to have found an outlet for her frustration. "If you're not enemies, why did you even fight in the first place! Asterius isn't someone who can't understand human speech!"
"Say one more word, and I'll kill both of you right now."
Bai Ming's tone was extremely unfriendly. Behind Euryale, Asterius roared again.
"Ugh... His tolerance is surprisingly low! This level of annoyance isn't even close to how Akuta Hinako curses—" Mash commented at a rapid pace. "And Senpai just can't stand it?"
"I have no connection with this short, stubby person. Why should I tolerate her? Just because she has a passable face?"
"What do you mean, 'passable'?" Euryale immediately became agitated. "I am the embodiment of male admiration, a goddess born into this world as a perfect idol and an ideal maiden— Stop staring at my chest!"
"How pathetic, to talk about male admiration at this level..."
Bai Ming shook his head. "While I don't oppose loli-con, nor do I intend to criticize anyone who is, I must admit that this group is quite complex. Some simply like legal lolis, unrelated to their physical condition. Some are pure perverts. And some become loli-cons. Those who harbor the thought of admiring lolis are all perverts with underdeveloped genitalia."
Euryale's heart rate suddenly accelerated. "What are you trying to say, you man?!"
Bai Ming burst into laughter. "Don't you understand yet? As an embodiment of this, you're no different from a pervert in a way! Whether it's Drake's overdevelopment or Mash's country bumpkin style, anyone is much larger than your flatness! Your haughty attitude is actually a sign of insecurity about your own body! You and your sister, Stheno, are short and slender with flat chests. You probably care a lot about Medusa's chest and height, being the youngest sister, don't you?"
Bai Ming paused, then added, "With a physique like this, will men truly admire you?"
Bai Ming looked at the small bull behind Euryale. The bull shook its head, and Bai Ming then shook his head as well.
Drake looked at Mash and asked, "Does he always talk like that... hmm?"
"Senpai is already being quite restrained," Mash sighed with her eyes closed. "Setting aside his knowledge, I feel there's still much I need to learn from Senpai when it comes to dealing with people."
Mash thought to herself: For starters, I'll learn from him about the art of conversation and information interrogation.
At the very least, from Singular Point F in France all the way to Okeanos, Mash had indeed learned a few things. For example, when interrogating someone, one should directly humiliate them. Or, if the other party shows even the slightest hostility, strike first and disable them before anything else.
Euryale's face turned bright red, and she spoke, "Humans who don't understand beauty are not worthy of discussing beauty with me."
"Olga Marie, please, go heal that Minotaur brother. Not many men can put up such a passionate fight against me."
Bai Ming reached out, and Olga Marie turned into a streak of light, flying out from Bai Ming's body.
After emerging, Olga Marie glared at Euryale and then muttered, "Honestly, do they really think I'm just some medical staff?"
Euryale was greatly surprised. It was one thing that she couldn't defeat Bai Ming, but how could his familiar also glare at her? "How dare you, a familiar, glare at me?"
Olga Marie let out a "Ha—?" and then looked at Euryale, whose personality was almost identical to hers. She pointed at Bai Ming beside her, acting like a bristling cat, "If you're not satisfied, go find Bai Ming. She's just a mere goddess. Bai Ming single-handedly killed all eight million gods of Japan. See if you die if Bai Ming punches you."
Chapter 65: The Little Bull's Bare Feet Satisfy Blackbeard's Desire to Be Trampled
Olga Marie couldn't help but sigh. Ever since she got to know what kind of person Bai Ming truly was, the sense of security Bai Ming gave her was far greater than what Marisbury and Professor Lev combined could offer. As for Olga Marie, she didn't want to leave Bai Ming's side at all.
After healing Asterius, Olga Marie checked Bai Ming's condition and thought to herself: I can perform the treatment on Bai Ming within his body. There's no need to stay outside and be a burden to him.
However, as Olga Marie passed by Mash, she spoke and reminded her, "Don't let his kindness go to waste. He spoke up because you were being scolded."
If Bai Ming hadn't scolded her, Olga Marie would have also jumped out and given Euryale a piece of her mind. What right does she have to talk about Chaldea people? What does it matter to her, a useless goddess being chased around by a pervert, if the Chaldea people are unfashionable?
Mash stood at attention, looking proper: "Ah, yes! Director!"
Olga Marie sighed and then directly retreated back into Bai Ming's body.
"According to pirate rules, you who have been defeated are now my spoils of war," Bai Ming walked towards Euryale and Asterius. "Captain Drake, is it okay for me to bring these two spoils of war aboard?"
"I have no problem with it."
"Hey, show some respect for our opinions!"
"What opinion can spoils of war have? Shut up, you woman!"
Bai Ming's voice made Euryale retreat several steps. She also noticed the terrible anti-divinity bonus on Bai Ming's fist. If she, who had a divine core of a goddess, were to be hit by Bai Ming's punch, she would definitely die a painful death.
"Go."
Asterius spoke dully, his gaze never leaving Bai Ming.
"You want to go?" Euryale asked with obvious reluctance. After thinking it over repeatedly, she said, "Fine then, we... we'll go together."
Euryale had originally wanted to negotiate a better deal, but she didn't expect Asterius to actively express his desire to leave with Bai Ming. Euryale, as a Servant with little combat ability, could only be forced to follow Asterius's choice.
... The Golden Hind set sail once more, but shortly after setting off, they spotted a pirate ship in the distance.
Before anyone else on the Golden Hind could react, Euryale immediately became agitated, pointing at the man on the distant pirate ship and exclaiming, "Yes! It's him! I won't forget that flag. He's been chasing me! That damned perverted pirate Servant!"
Bai Ming stared for a long time: "Isn't that Blackbeard's pirate ship, Edward Teach's?"
"There's Servant fluctuation! A lot of it! What are you guys doing? You haven't been responding to communications! If your existence wasn't clearly confirmed—"
Roman's voice had just come through when Mash, looking speechless, directly hung up: "With Senpai here, there's no need for the doctor to butt in!"
"Oh, I remember now. That guy over there was also persistently bothering my pirate ship," Drake said, looking at the approaching pirate ship. "This time, I'm going to beat him to the other side of the horizon. My crew, bring the ship closer!"
The Golden Hind rapidly advanced towards Blackbeard's location.
Mash stared blankly at Asterius, who was mirroring Bai Ming's movements and stretching his body, while Euryale was stealthily hiding behind Mash.
"Hey, you bald bastard over there, can you hear me?"
Drake shouted. Unexpectedly, Blackbeard on the other side immediately replied, "Haah! I can't hear the voice of a old hag."
"Ha—? What did you just say? Say it again?"
Although she had pink hair, Bai Ming felt like he saw a hint of a purple old lady in Drake. Blackbeard, on the other hand, opened his mouth and said, "I'm saying— this is none of your business, old hag. What's the use of your huge chest? Are you bored? But the knife scar on your face is quite nice. The problem is your age, it's really troublesome. If you were at the age when you were on duty when you were younger, perhaps you would still be within my defensive range—"
"It appeared! A man as sadistic as Senpai?!" Mash was greatly surprised. So her Senpai's warm-up exercises were because he sensed someone of the same type (sadistic) as him?
While Mash was complaining, Drake had already become dejected. The pirates beside her also chimed in, "Big sis is already dead on a spiritual level."
Bai Ming sighed and said, "Yeah... Although she's beautiful without any scars, she's not unattractive with them either—"
Bai Ming's remark instantly revived Drake, who had been called out about her age.
Before Drake could say anything else, the sharp-eyed Blackbeard shouted in surprise, "Uwooooh! You're here after all, little Euryale! So cute! I really want to lick you— especially your armpits and groin! I'd be happy even if you stepped on me! Stepped on by your bare feet! Trample me with your bare feet!"
Asterius and Bai Ming stopped their warm-up exercises. The little bull glanced at Bai Ming, then diligently imitated Bai Ming's peculiar way of exerting force, understanding Bai Ming's gestures.
Just as Blackbeard was about to say more, the deck of the Golden Hind was already dented by Bai Ming and Asterius. The two large figures leaped directly onto Blackbeard's ship. While Blackbeard was still ranting, Asterius's large, heavy foot landed on Blackbeard's mouth.
With the immense impact, Blackbeard crashed onto the deck and was pinned under Asterius's foot.
Bai Ming, meanwhile, blocked the attacks from the other people on Blackbeard's ship for Asterius and took out Crocea Mors from his sea of consciousness: "Wryyyyyy! Little bull, say the line! By the name of the beloved and admired British Sword Saint Merlin, I grant Blackbeard Teach the opportunity to fulfill his wish here!"
Asterius roared, then elongated his tone: "Your wish— fulfilled! With your feet— to trample you! To death!"
Then, with monstrous strength, he stomped on Blackbeard again. The force was controlled with such subtlety that it wouldn't kill Blackbeard, but it inflicted sufficient pain and humiliation.
The young bull understood Bai Ming's signal and charged forward together, using its powerful hooves to fulfill Blackbeard's unrealistic "beautiful" wishes.
Bai Ming, holding a battle halberd in one hand and a brick in the other, looked with fanatical fervor at the two women and one man beside him. "Servants Anne Bonny and Mary Read, and the great hero of the Trojan War, Hector! Come, pleasure me! Come at me together! If you can defeat me, Merlin will take your surname! If you can't defeat me, you'll all sit at the same table as Setanta."
"I had planned to deal with the Master first, but I didn't expect the Master to charge forward first..."
Hector, who lived around the 12th to 13th centuries BC, smiled. At this moment, he hadn't yet realized who the man before him was. He only saw the Command Spells on the man's hand, confirming his identity as a Master. However, Anne Bonny and Mary Read felt a sense of dread.
After all, one was born in Ireland, and the other in England. In their lifetimes, statues of Joscelin Brando, holding a battle halberd and a brick, erected by Constantine I, could be found in parts of Ireland and England.
Chapter 66: Anyone Named Brando Isn't Sane? (3k)
Hector called out a warning, "Be careful, kid—"
As he spoke, Hector vanished. Bai Ming simply smiled at Anne Bonny and Mary Read. "Oh my, it seems you two know my true nature. Does that mean I don't have to pretend to be gentle and kind anymore?"
A black, golden spear blade lunged for Bai Ming's neck, but a golden light suddenly appeared by his neck, blocking Hector's spear.
"The spear rumored to pierce all things in the world cannot break my light—in the end, anything described as indestructible or all-piercing is just talk."
Failing to land a hit, Hector immediately retreated a considerable distance. Bai Ming's gaze remained fixed on Anne Bonny and Mary Read as he walked towards them step by step. Hector sighed, thinking, Are this Master and Blackbeard the same type of person? How truly awful.
Anne and Mary were famous female pirates of the Age of Discovery. Anne was a renowned sharpshooter, while Mary used a cutlass for assault duties.
The two female pirates, born in Britain, almost stopped thinking as Bai Ming walked towards them.
Seeing the two female pirates frozen in place, Hector could only intervene to stop Bai Ming's advance.
The golden spear blade clashed with the battle halberd in Bai Ming's hand.
The immense force caused Hector's spear to bend. The direct confrontation made Hector feel Bai Ming's overwhelmingly domineering strength. Bai Ming instantly unleashed his magic, a tempest of magic and lightning. Bai Ming's expression grew increasingly cold, and his tone chilled. "I hate those who block my path. Great hero of the Trojan War, middle-aged, with a beard, getting old, your kidneys are weak, right? Middle-aged impotent man? If this is all the strength you have—"
"Not good!"
