After hearing what Jason said, the hundred-eyed giant Argus naturally seemed a little surprised, but it did not refuse.

After all, after the brief conversation just now, the hundred-eyed giant Argus naturally had an idea in his mind.

The handsome man in white, Hercules, came here because of the oracle of Queen Hera, to reward those who have guarded Io.

So in the end, it happily agreed to Jason's request.

Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but smile faintly.

Then he looked away and gave a subtle look to Atalanta, who had obeyed his instructions and remained silent.

Seeing this, Atalanta nodded slightly to show that she understood. Her beautiful emerald eyes quietly looked at the little cow Io, whose expression had become gloomy as she listened to their conversation.

Then Jason took out the antique shepherd's flute, which was also a gift given to Jason by Hermes.

This is a magic flute. Anyone who hears its sound will be intoxicated by the sound and fall into drowsiness.

Even ordinary gods would find it difficult to resist such magic!

Picking up the magic flute, Jason immediately played beautiful music to the hundred-eyed giant Argus.

The beautiful flute sound quickly attracted Argus's attention, and it gradually became intoxicated by the wonderful flute sound.

But at this moment, Io raised her head and looked at Jason who was playing the magic flute in confusion.

Because it didn't hear the flute.

This is also one of the special features of the magic flute. It can choose an object, and the object chosen by its owner will still ring in his mind even if he covers his ears.

The sound of the magic flute gradually made Argus feel sleepy, but when he thought of the order given to him by Queen Hera, Argus had to force himself to stay awake and continue listening to the flute played by Jason.

In fact, Argus also vaguely sensed something was wrong at this moment, but when he looked at Hercules in white clothes in front of him, he didn't think too much about it.

I just think I'm too tired recently.

So Argus fought sleepiness desperately, letting part of his eyes fall asleep while keeping the other eyes open, staring at the cow Io.

Jason naturally noticed this and frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that this magic flute designed specifically for Argus still couldn't make the other party close his eyes completely.

If he continued to play like this, Argus would probably end up interrupting Jason's playing because of sleepiness in order to keep himself awake.

So after a brief thought, Jason came up with another idea.

"Lord Argus, I wonder if you would like to hear a story... about the shepherd's flute given to me by the gods."

Putting down the magic flute, Jason said slowly, "In fact, when the great god gave me this shepherd's flute, he also told me its story."

Argus, upon hearing this, naturally assumed that the god who had gifted the magic flute was Hera, the Queen of Heaven. He said, "So this exquisite shepherd's flute was given to you by the great Queen of Heaven, Hera. No wonder it sounds so beautiful. Well, I'm very interested in your story now. Tell me now, Hercules."

"Yes, Lord Argus." Jason's mouth curled up slightly. He knew Argus had taken the bait, so he said, "Once upon a time, there lived a famous nymph on the snowy mountains of Arcadia. Her name was Hamadryades.

At that time, the forest god and the agricultural god Saturn were both fascinated by her beauty and pursued her passionately, but she always cleverly got rid of their pursuit because she was afraid of getting married.

Like the beautiful moon goddess Artemis, this nymph desired to remain single and live a virginal life.

But finally, when the powerful mountain god Pan was wandering in the forest, he saw the goddess, approached her, and eagerly wooed her by virtue of his prominent status, which was naturally rejected by the other party.

But the mountain god Pan Zai was not going to let her go and kept chasing the fairy.

So the fairy fled all the way to the Laton River, which flowed slowly but was so wide that she could not wade across.

Faced with the increasingly powerful mountain god behind her, the nymph had no choice but to ask her patron goddess Artemis for sympathy.

The moon goddess Artemis finally heard the call of the nymph goddess, and when the mountain god came before her, she turned him into a reed, allowing her to escape the mountain god's pursuit.

And this shepherd's flute was made from this..."

Jason was telling the story slowly, and to complement the story, he added the playing of the magic flute in the middle. Under such circumstances, the hundred-eyed giant Argus, who was listening to the story and the flute, finally fell into a deep sleep under the flute music.

Jason looked at Argus, who had closed all his eyes.

He turned his head and nodded slightly to Atalanta.

Atalanta understood and looked up hesitantly at Argus, who was as tall as a mountain and covered with eyes.

Finally, he walked lightly behind it and came to Io, who was feeling a little sleepy after listening to Jason's story.

Io looked at the hunter who was walking towards her slowly. His eyes were as sharp as an animal and he was wearing beautiful emerald green clothes.

There was doubt in his eyes, and at the same time a little fear.

At this moment, Io found Jason looking at her.

And gave himself a gentle smile, put his hand to his mouth, blinked at himself, and told himself not to speak.

Io looked at the man dressed in white, who was as handsome as Apollo, the god of light, and looked into his clear eyes. The uneasiness in her heart gradually faded away, and she let Atalanta come to her.

When Atalanta came to Io, she took out a bottle of potion from her arms...that was the potion Jason gave her on the way here.

Transfiguration potion.

Atalanta opened it and motioned Io to drink it. Then Io, who had turned into a cow, turned into a white kitten.

Then Atalanta held the kitten in her arms and carefully left Argus' side.

"Take her to her father first, Atalanta." Jason whispered to Atalanta when Atalanta came closer.

"What about you?" Atalanta looked at Jason.

"If I leave now, it will go crazy and catch up with me."

Jason said to Atalanta with a faint smile.

Atalanta looked at Jason, and then at Argus, the hundred-eyed giant who was like a hill.

"...It's too dangerous. I can stay and help you. Just let Tenma take her away."

Jason shook his head and looked at Atalanta: "You haven't forgotten your promise to me, have you?"

Atalanta looked at Jason for a while, then turned around and took Io, who had turned into a little white cat, to sit on the Pegasus.

Compared to Atalanta, Pegasus seemed decisive and flapped its wings directly, turning into a meteor under the night sky and flew away.

After they all left, Jason turned around and looked at Argus in front of him... Jason was not sure how long the effect of the magic flute would last.

So Jason continued to play the magic flute, and at the same time freed one hand to take out the silver staff.

Take the staff and tap it lightly on the ground.

Then, accompanied by a slight sound, the magic engraved on the staff began to take effect. A dark magic circle appeared out of thin air on the ground and extended rapidly.

In the dark night, this dark magic circle seemed so dazzling, wrapping Jason and the hundred-eyed giant Argus in it.

And as the magic - the underworld unfolded, the blooming white flowers of the other shore appeared in this area.

Under the influence of such magic and huge magical power, even though Jason kept playing the magic flute, the hundred-eyed giant Argus still opened his eyes.

In an instant, all the closed eyes opened together, and in this dark night, they looked at Jason in front of them!

Seeing this, Jason slowly put down the magic flute, smiled faintly at Argus, and said, "Lord Argus, you are awake."

"…What are you doing, Hercules!"

Argus frowned as he looked at the world in front of him. While questioning Jason, he suddenly looked behind him as if he had thought of something.

"Where's Io... Wait, where's Io?!"

The giant's roar sounded like thunder in Jason's ears.

But Jason still seemed calm...even when he was being stared at by the monster with a hundred eyes.

After all, he has even seen the Cthulhu-style Radon with a hundred heads, so naturally he has a certain immunity to the one with a hundred eyes.

"Lord Argus, Io has been taken away... I had Atalanta take her back to her father."

Now, after Atalanta, Io and the others had left, Jason directly told Argus his purpose.

Argus was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Looking at the environment in front of him, how could he not understand what was happening? He looked at Jason angrily and said, "Human, you dare to deceive me..."

"No, my lord Argus, the hundred-eyed giant, I did not deceive you. I am indeed the Hercules you spoke of."

Jason interrupted Argus and said to him with a smile: "But I am not here because of the oracle of Hera, the Queen of Heaven.

Now, please allow me to introduce myself to you again.”

Jason put away the magic flute, bowed to Argus, and said with a smile: "My name is actually Jason... Of course, you can still call me Hercules, and I am indeed here because of the oracle.

But my oracle is the oracle of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods. They asked me to come to you so that I can rescue the princess Io who is trapped by you!

"Now that I've taken Io away, Lord Argus, would you be willing to leave and pretend you didn't see anything?"

"Damn it!" After hearing Jason's words, Argus, who knew what was going on, couldn't help but burn with flames of anger in his eyes.

"I don't care if you're Hercules or Jason, you actually dared to let Io go. Do you know that this will surely draw the wrath of Hera, the Queen of Heaven?"

As he spoke, Argus stretched out his hand and grabbed Jason, who looked so tiny in front of him.

“Human, you deserve to die, but I will not kill you, because I will take you to the great Queen Hera and let Queen Hera personally interrogate you.

And I tell you, no matter where you take Io and hide her, I will definitely bring her back!"

Jason did not seem flustered when faced with Argus waving at him.

Even Jason, with a slight smile on his face, muttered softly, "Actually, if you leave just like that... it would be a nuisance to me!"

Yes, after all, Jason had promised Typhon to kill Argus, and this was the condition for Typhon to give the magic spear to Jason.

Because Argus killed the banshee Echidna, the banshee who gave birth to the three-headed dog of hell, Typhon's partner!

So at the moment Jason finished speaking, a gate of nothingness appeared in this underworld.

Then a large two-headed dog, slightly smaller than Argus, ran out and bit Argus's waving hand!

"Huh?" Jason was slightly stunned when he saw that the person coming was actually a two-headed dog, not a three-headed hellhound.

"Lord Otisius, where is Lord Cerberus?"

After pushing Argus away, Otisius looked back at Jason and said with a gloating voice, "What happened to Cerberus? You'll know when you take some time to go to the underworld and see for yourself!"

After saying this, Arthus looked at Argus, who was glaring at him in pain, and felt his power, his expression became very serious.

This giant is even more powerful than Geryon!
