Blackbeard Vanishes in an Instant

"What is that?" Mephistopheles asked in a low voice.

Seemingly upon hearing this, the woman immediately exclaimed, "Mortal, I am a goddess! I am the goddess Euryale!"

"Oh, Medusa's sister." Mephistopheles nodded. "Not bad, not as good-looking as her sister, and she's always being sarcastic. What a little sissy!"

"Human, I believe you are speaking blasphemous words!"

As Euryale spoke, she frowned again. "Strange, why do you, a human, possess such strong divinity?"

Having not looked closely before, Euryale now focused her attention and discovered that the man before her possessed an incredibly strong divine aura. Ordinary demigod heroes could not possibly possess such a powerful divine aura; it was almost equivalent to that of True God.

After racking her brains for a while, she couldn't recall any deity that matched the appearance of the human in front of her, so she asked directly, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Name? Mephistopheles, just call me Mephistopheles."

"Mephistopheles?! You're Mephistopheles!" Euryale was stunned. Upon hearing the name, she even involuntarily took a step back, asking again as if uncertain, "You...you really are Mephistopheles?!"

Mephistopheles, observing the other person's reaction, couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Who in Greece doesn't know what you've done?!" Euryale immediately said, "First, you participated in the War of the Giants, and together with those guys from Olympus, you killed a bunch of giants. Then you went and fought Typhon, and finally you even killed Typhon. Zeus offered you a godhood, but you refused!"

"Afterwards, you went on the Argo's expedition and killed the Mother of the Monsters. However, it was during that expedition that you disappeared and were never found again. These records are only considered as unofficial historical accounts by many people, and few people in official history acknowledge your existence."

After saying this, she smiled slightly, a hint of sarcasm in her expression. "What a pity, isn't it?"

Among those present, there were either participants or people who had already heard Mephistopheles's report. The only one unaware of this was Drake, who looked surprised upon hearing it and turned to Mephistopheles.

"So your adventures are this exciting too! And judging from what she said, you seem to have lived for a very long time?!"

"No, I'm only a teenager myself."

Drake laughed, "But according to her, you're in ancient Greece, which is already after the Common Era. Are you sure you're only a teenager?!"

Mephistopheles said helplessly, "I'm really only a teenager. Even if you test me, it'll be the same. I'm just that age!"

"But your adventure is truly impressive, it doesn't seem to have any problem compared to my dream of traveling the world!"

Mephistopheles smiled. "Adventures are certainly fun, but let's deal with the immediate problem first."

As he spoke, he looked at Euryale in front of him and said, "You remember my story so clearly? Are you my fan?"

"No way! I'm clearly the one who exudes superstar charisma!"

Mephistopheles curled his lip. "Come on, with your kind of aura, you call yourself an idol? You're not even as good as a puppet."

Upon hearing this, Euryale's eyes widened immediately. "What do you mean?!"

Mephistopheles retorted without hesitation, "Literally!"

Seeing Euryale's unconvinced attitude, Mephistopheles continued, "An idol? Do you even know what an idol is? It's someone who's meant to be like the sun, shining on all their fans! With your temper, you call yourself an idol?! Don't be ridiculous!"

Seeing Mephistopheles's strong reaction, Ritsuka Fujimaru whispered to Mash Kyrielight, "Mephistopheles, is he actually an idol otaku?"

"I don't know either, senpai, but what is an idol otaku?" Mash Kyrielight asked in a low voice.

Seeing Mash Kyrielight's clueless look, Ritsuka Fujimaru shook her head. "It's okay if you don't understand. I'll explain it to you when we get back. There's too much to explain now."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing Mephistopheles's fierce rebuttal, Euryale was stunned, even forgetting how she should respond.

Just then, Asterius, the Minotauros who was lying injured nearby, let out a groan.

Upon hearing this voice, Euryale quickly said, "Little Calf, just lie here and don't move around. You're strong, you won't die if you don't move... Hmm, probably not."

She seemed somewhat uncertain, frowning as she said, "If you die, this place will collapse."

"It's not that complicated. It's very simple for a Servant to recover from injuries." Mephistopheles said, stepping forward and immediately sending a stream of magic into Asterius's body. Instantly, the guy, who was originally seriously injured, began to recover rapidly and soon got up again.

"As expected of Magecraft famous since the Age of Gods in Greece, for the Phantasmal Species, it's practically an instinct to avoid fighting that guy who likes to say 'Veritas000' during battle, or you'll die a horrible death!"

Mephistopheles's expression shifted, but he quickly nodded. "That makes a lot of sense. If I say the name Veritas000, it means I'm getting serious."

Then, he Mash Kyrielight, "Mash Kyrielight, explain our current situation to her."

Explaining things to the NPCs is best left to Mash Kyrielight; Mephistopheles is too lazy to deal with it.

He has other things to do now, which is to study this labyrinth and see if he can leave using the power of Raphael, one of the four archangels, or Hermes.

Chapter 160 Instantly Annihilating Blackbeard

While Mash Kyrielight and Euryale were explaining what was going on, Mephistopheles had already begun his own test.

Even though this was a maze, a separate area, the Angelic Power descended without any hindrance.

Even if this power is small, insignificant, and easily overlooked, it is still the power of angels.

Feeling the power that belonged to Raphael, Mephistopheles began to use this power to guide his own path.

It's not about destruction, it's simply about finding a way out.

Then, after Mephistopheles noted the direction indicated by Raphael's power, he turned and asked, "Is the exit over there?"

He was naturally asking Asterius, the master of the labyrinth.

The minotaur boy looked surprised, then nodded.

That was indeed the exit of the maze, but how did the other party know?

There's no way to get out of here without some special methods!

After all, the maze's paths were constantly changing, and if you went the wrong way, you wouldn't be able to reach the exit.

This place can even be disorienting, yet this person points out the exact direction from which the attack will occur.

"Hmm, it seems there are no problems for now. I'll head out first. You can come out on your own in a bit. Anyway, with the bull there, you can easily deactivate your Noble Phantasm." Mephistopheles said, turning to leave, reminding everyone as he went, "Don't deactivate your Noble Phantasm before I leave!"

Although Asterius didn't know what the other person meant, he nodded nonetheless.

Artemis, Atalanta, and the others did not follow. They naturally realized that Mephistopheles was conducting an experiment, and they only needed to wait here to meet up with him.

However, naturally some people may not understand it.

Euryale asked suspiciously, "What is he planning to do? This is Asterius's labyrinth; there's no way to get out without special methods!"

Artemis smiled. "He should be able to."

"Should? Aren't you sure?"

"I said 'should' because I don't know what method he'll use, and I believe he can succeed, but that doesn't mean he won't fail in the process," Artemis said, waiting quietly.

"Alright, let's see how many times he fails." Euryale said, looking at the calm Artemis, as if she was waiting for the other to make a fool of herself.

After all, their relationship was never good. They were gods in the past, but they were driven away by the gods of Mount Olympus and ended up like this, having the status of gods but no divine power.

She would be very happy to see the Mount Olympus gods make fools of themselves.

After a while, Asterius suddenly raised his head and slowly withdrew the power of his Noble Phantasm.

Sensing Asterius's actions, Euryale exclaimed, "He went out?!"

"Hmm..." Asterius responded softly, and as the labyrinth disappeared, they found themselves back on the island.

Not far away, Mephistopheles was standing there waiting for them.

"How did you get out?!" Euryale immediately went up to him and asked.

Mephistopheles shrugged. "It's simple. Just follow the road, and you'll find your way out."

Euryale struggled to suppress the urge to roll her eyes; she found that this man in front of her was very good at making her angry.

Taking a deep breath, she asked again, "What kind of Magecraft did you use? Or what kind of formal attire?"

"True Magic was used."

"True Magic?" Euryale looked at Mephistopheles. He was Magecraft from the Age of Age of Gods, so Euryale wasn't surprised that he could use True Magic. She was just curious about what kind of True Magic he used.

Mephistopheles laughed, "It's simple. I just summoned the power of Archangel Raphael and had Raphael guide me, and he brought me out."

Hearing this, Euryale finally couldn't hold back and rolled her eyes.

This answer is practically meaningless. Summoning the power of angels and having them guide you—what Magecraft could possibly do that?!

Even in True Magic, there is no similar way of using it. The closest thing is probably the spell to summon a Heroic Spirit, or a Servant.

Furthermore, there are many restrictions on summoning Servants; the corresponding Sacred Relics are required, otherwise the summoned Servant will be completely random.

As it turns out, the opponent not only made no preparations such as summoning Servants, but also seemed to be able to summon Raphael, one of the Four Archangels, with unparalleled precision.

"It can indeed be summoned precisely. I can summon the power of most of the angels I know with pinpoint accuracy," Mephistopheles remarked casually.

Euryale thought the guy was just bragging.

She said "Oh," turned around and left. "Fine, don't tell me then!"

Mephistopheles shrugged and said to Artemis was walking over, "Nobody believes the truth anyway."

Artemis chuckled. "The way you were talking just now sounded like you were just being perfunctory. It's normal that she didn't believe you."

"It's also possible that because you two had a conflict earlier, she finds it hard to trust you now," Medea said with a smile.

Mephistopheles thought for a moment, "Are you referring to that conversation about idols earlier?"

Atalanta nodded. "Of course! What you said just now was far too rude; you didn't give her any face at all."

"Because she's oversimplified the concept of being an idol!" Mephistopheles said, shaking his head. "Besides, if she really had the ability to be a good idol, she wouldn't be in this situation now."

At this point, Mephistopheles pondered for a moment, "However, this might alter her powers..."

The group exchanged glances without speaking, all knowing that Mephistopheles must have thought of something bizarre.

At this moment, Mephistopheles asked, "Oh, by the way, so why is Euryale here?"

Medea immediately gave a brief summary of the conversation between Mash Kyrielight and Euryale, and Mephistopheles finally understood what had happened.

"So Euryale was chased here by a perverted pirate? She claims there's no one as perverted as that pirate in Greece?"

Medea nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what she said."

As she spoke, she became even more curious. "So what kind of pervert could make her say something like that?"

"Yes, and by the way, Captain Drake invited her, although she was furious because she was called an overdeveloped woman and wanted to tie her to the bow of the ship, but she held back." Medea said with a smile on her face.

Looking at Artemis, she was clearly trying not to laugh.

Mephistopheles asked, "This is definitely not because the other party is a god that you gave up on this action, it's purely because Euryale is useful now and we can cooperate, right?"

Artemis immediately replied, "That's right, I think so too. This captain even dared to fight Poseidon, Euryale is nothing compared to him."

While Mephistopheles was chatting with Artemis and the others, Drake called out to everyone, "Let's go, get on the ship!"

So the group boarded Drake's Golden Hind again, but they hadn't gone far when they saw a ship appear in the distance and heading towards them.

Upon seeing the somewhat lewd Blackbeard pirate standing at the bow of the ship, Euryale pointed at him and shouted, "That's right, it's this guy, the pervert who tried to molest me!"

The ship was flying a flag with a skull, demon, and a red heart. Looking at the flag and the man's Blackbeard, Mephistopheles chuckled, "Isn't that the flag of the Queen Anne's Revenge?"

"The Queen Anne's Revenge?" Drake asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That happened over a hundred years later," Mephistopheles said, looking at the man. "He should be Captain Blackbeard Edward Teach, a real bastard, a complete villain. Just beat him up, no need to hold back."

Drake finally saw his opponent clearly and yelled, "Hasn't this guy been attacking me all this time trying to steal my Holy Grail?!"

"Seize the Holy Grail? A future pirate, ha, isn't that just an enemy Servant? Coming here to steal the Holy Grail from this world, wanting to use it to destroy the world as it is now." Mephistopheles laughed, a bow already appearing in his hand.

Euryale shouted, "You guys be careful! This guy is disgusting too. We don't need to care about strength or anything else. The only thing we need to watch out for is that this guy is just plain disgusting!"

Hearing her warning, everyone was filled with questions, wondering just how disgusting this guy could be.

Just then, Blackbeard shouted, a lewd smile on his face, his cheeks flushed, and his voice loud. "I didn't come here for you, old hag Drake, I came to pick up little cutie Euryale! I can't wait to lick her armpits and belly button with my tongue!"

This left most of the people on the ship dumbfounded, except for Euryale, Asterius, and Mephistopheles.

Mephistopheles said, "I thought you were going to say you wanted to lick my feet."

Blackbeard's eyes lit up. "That's right, you're right, let's add one more: licking feet!"

He even extended an invitation. "Would you like to come aboard my ship? I can take you on as my subordinate!"

"Forget it, I'm not interested. Besides, I think it's really not good for you to do this kind of thing when others don't want you to, so I think it's best to just get rid of you as soon as possible." Mephistopheles said, raising the bow in his hand.

Seeing this, Blackbeard wasn't nervous at all. It was just a bow. His ship was huge; it could withstand cannon fire for a long time. What was there to be afraid of?!

Then, in the next instant, a dazzling light pierced his vision and entered his ship!

"Boom!"
