"...You, what are you talking about." Jason's smile seemed a little stiff at this moment.

"You really think I'm stupid... Have you really forgotten that I have three heads?"

Hearing this, Jason's eyes widened slightly, and it was obvious that he had indeed looked.

That’s right, Cerberus knew Jason’s little plan. After all, one of her three heads was quite smart.

But what does it matter?

Because all three heads like to eat honey cakes.

In the legend about Cerberus, the people from the underworld bribed them with a piece of honey cake, letting the three of them fight for the honey cake, so that they could take the opportunity to sneak into the underworld.

"Well, I never thought of letting Teacher Hecate wear these clothes..."

"I smell a lie... and you wouldn't even dare let me dress like that in the underworld, and you still say you don't think that!"

"...Speak now, speak now, and seal your mouth with a few honey cakes!"

Jason finally gave in.

Chapter 3: Atalanta, long time no see (k)

Two days later,

Outside the Labyrinth of Minos on the island of Crete.

"It seems like this is it."

The hero, dressed in white and riding on a holy Pegasus, put away the guide given to him by Athena and looked at the guarded labyrinth below.

"Cerberus, will you come in with me?"

Jason lowered his head and looked at the little loli with black hair and red eyes in his arms.

And this little loli is wearing black stockings and a maid outfit... When I think about her true form being Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, I can only say that the contrast is quite big.

"If you don't want to go in, I'll let Tianma show you around. After all, you've adapted to the human world now."

Cerberus heard Jason's words and shook his head. "No, Hecate and Hades have told me that I can come out with you, but I can't leave your side. Otherwise, I won't be allowed to come out with you."

Hearing her words, Jason was not very surprised. After all, Cerberus was the three-headed dog of hell. It would be strange if there were no restrictions.

It should be said that as a hellhound, she was able to follow Jason to the human world to play, which was already the result of her privileges being pushed to the limit...

"In that case, let's go."

As Jason spoke, he took out his staff, used the invisibility magic with great skill, took Cerberus' hand, and quietly slipped her into the labyrinth.

According to the legend, Theseus was able to solve the maze by leaving one end of a rope outside before entering, thus finding his way back.

Jason did not do so, but this was certainly not because he had become arrogant because of his recent strength, but simply because he felt that doing so was too inefficient.

Not long after Jason entered the maze, he lightly tapped the entrance of the maze illuminated by a torch, and a dancing butterfly flew out.

Pluto is Hecate's familiar. It has always protected Jason, and it is even thanks to it that Jason can move freely in the underworld.

And because it was Hecate's familiar, Jason would not have been able to control or use it unless Hecate gave him the right.

But recently, Jason received a great gift from Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, which is the ability to listen to the sounds of all things...

So everything fell into place.

Naturally, the Hades butterflies would not reject Jason. After all, over the years, they had become familiar with Jason's smell and knew that Jason was an absolutely important person to their mistress, Hecate.

Not long after entering the maze, it gradually became dark inside, so Jason had to take out a glass lamp to illuminate.

The light illuminated the dark maze, but also revealed the location of Jason and Cerberus.

"Cerberus, can you walk in the dark?"

"Okay...but why don't you use the lamp?" Cerberus looked puzzled as he saw Jason extinguishing the lamp after hearing his words.

"Of course, that's to avoid being discovered by the monster in here?" Jason replied as a matter of course.

"Discovered? ...So what if I'm discovered? I can just eat it, right? Don't you think I can't defeat it?"

"That's not the case. It's just that we don't need to fight it... and sometimes, even if you can defeat the enemy, you can't fight, you know?"

Jason spoke to Cerberus earnestly.

"Why?"

"Because the other party might have a very powerful backer. Take me for example, do you dare to hit me?"

"I dare!" Cerberus replied immediately.

"...Aren't you afraid that Teacher Hecate will cause trouble for you later?" Jason's forehead was filled with a few black lines.

"Don't be afraid, because Goddess Hecate definitely won't care... As long as I don't eat you, Goddess Hecate will probably encourage me to beat you up more!"

...If you say that, we can't continue the conversation today.

"Well, in short, that's the truth." Jason stiffly rounded up the words. After all, the most infuriating thing was that he couldn't refute it.

"Of course I believe you can defeat him, Cerberus. But think about it, what if he's the child of Poseidon, the Sea God? What if you eat him and he blames you?"

Jason hinted at something...almost pointed it out.

Before he came, as was his usual character, he naturally asked Theseus a series of questions about the maze and the monsters in the maze.

Although Theseus's words were vague, as he was only hearing it from hearsay after all, he still provided some useful information.

Jason deduced from the information that this matter was related to Poseidon, the god of the sea, so he naturally had no intention of killing Asterios.

It was okay for Theseus to kill him, probably because he was also Poseidon's son.

Therefore, as long as Asterios does not come to seek death, Jason naturally has no intention of getting rid of Asterios.

To be precise, even if Jason didn't know Asterios' background, Jason, who normally didn't want to get involved, wouldn't think of killing him.

After all, he never considered himself a hero.

Just as Cerberus heard Jason's words and felt that they made some sense, he nodded.

Jason suddenly lit up the extinguished lamp again and removed the invisibility magic on his body.

"Jason?" Cerberus tilted his head and looked at Jason in confusion.

"What a mistake... Should we say this is worthy of being in the legendary maze?" Jason looked at the invalid guide in his hand, and immediately summoned a Pluto disc, making sure that it could sense the position of the Pluto disc guarding the door, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems the legend about solving a maze with just a rope is fake... That rope must be a divine artifact."

Jason muttered to himself, and his guess was not wrong. The legendary Theseus was able to walk out of the labyrinth and kill the Minotaur because he received guidance from the gods and obtained a rope and a magic sword.

"It seems that we can only turn on the light..."

"But didn't you say that this would easily attract the monster?"

"It's easy to attract, but by the same token, it's also likely to attract the little girl lost in the maze." Jason spread his hands and said, "But now the guide Goddess Athena gave me has lost its effect in the maze, so I can only use this stupid method to see if I can lure that idiot over."

"What if the first thing that comes is that half-man, half-bull monster?"

"Let's talk about it first, and then we can fight." Jason said calmly: "After all, I'm not afraid of him."

You are not afraid of him, so why are you saying so much... Cerberus, who couldn't understand Jason, felt extremely puzzled by Jason's behavior.

But if Pegasus were there, he would probably remain calm and persuade Cerberus, after all, Jason is just that kind of person.

The small talk ended here, and Jason and Cerberus then walked through this intricate maze.

Cerberus was quite interested at first, but soon he became impatient.

"Jason, can I just break down this wall?!" Cerberus said with a dark face as he reached a dead end and looked at the wall in front of him.

After hearing Cerberus' words, Jason wanted to refuse.

"This pitch-black darkness feels endless...it reminds me of some bad things."

Cerberus said this, glancing towards Jason.

She also looked at Jason's arm, opened her mouth slightly, and looked as if she was eager to bite it, which scared Jason.

But it's also quite cute. After all, the way she's dressed now really doesn't show any intimidation at all...

Jason soon realized what was going on. It was obvious that this intricate maze that seemed to have no end reminded Cerberus of the time when he was imprisoned in the abyss.

You should know that because of this incident, Cerberus had a fight with Jason, and Jason let her bite him for most of the day before the matter was over.

So when Jason came to his senses, he smiled bitterly and said nothing more, but made a gesture of invitation to Cerberus.

The next second...

boom--!

A loud noise seemed so harsh in the silent maze.

It would be difficult for people in the maze to ignore such sounds.

What's more, loud noises were heard one after another from behind.

The easiest way to get out of the maze is undoubtedly to tear it down!

As the saying goes, walking in a straight line between two points is definitely the fastest way, no doubt about it. It is even better than knowing the route of a maze!

In fact, the heroes who had been in the maze before had thought about this, but the maze was blessed with magic, and under normal circumstances, few people could do it. The only one who could do it was probably Hercules.

But all this is naturally no problem for Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell.

With just one easy punch, she could smash the wall in front of her into pieces. As she tore down more and more things, Cerberus not only did not feel impatient, but became increasingly excited!

If Jason hadn't stopped him and said that he would not give the honey cakes if the clothes he was wearing were damaged, Cerberus would have turned back into the three-headed dog of hell and directly demolished the maze!

And this kind of behavior is really good for attracting people.

Just as Jason watched Cerberus destroying the house, he was worried about whether Teacher Hecate's temple would be able to withstand it in the future...

"Ia...Song?"

With an incredulous tone, Jason subconsciously turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw Atalanta, who was wearing beautiful emerald green clothes, coming from a corner and appearing in Jason's sight.

Looking at Atalanta who was looking at him in surprise.

Jason looked her over and found that she was only a little dusty and dirty, and that she was not seriously injured. He felt relieved and smiled at her. He said, "Atalanta, long time no see."
