At the same time, he was unable to throw Jason off his body.
Jason stabbed the giant snake's body with his sword again and again, but he did not kill it.
Just cut off a piece of meat here and a piece of meat there.
Soon, the writhing and roaring giant snake carried Jason into the sea, causing layer upon layer of huge waves.
His screams of pain naturally alarmed the people of the Trojan Kingdom not far away.
But no one dared to come and check.
In the past month, countless people have died in the mouth of the giant snake.
They could only pray and pray that Poseidon, the god of the sea, would calm down his anger after the giant snake ate the sacrificial princess.
Only Princess Hesione, who was protected by the Aegis at this moment, knew how miserable the giant snake was.
Because of the blood, the coast was visibly dyed red.
Its tumbling and struggling momentum gradually weakened.
Finally, the giant snake gave in and let out a wailing sound.
The voice was desolate and helpless.
Only then did Jason get down from the giant snake and come to the shore.
In Hesione's shocked eyes, she saw that Jason's white clothes were not stained at all and were still as white as ever.
It formed a sharp contrast with the bright red coast and the giant snake covered with scars.
"You go."
Jason said to the giant snake.
He had no intention of killing.
But the giant snake does!
The giant snake, whose eyes had already turned red after suffering such a serious injury, looked at the ant that had finally gotten off its body and was no longer protected by the strange shield.
When Jason turned his back to it and was about to leave, it opened its big mouth and bit Jason without thinking.
It's going to eat this damn bastard!
"Be careful!" Hesione opened her eyes wide when she saw this.
She struggled, trying to help Jason throw the shield.
But she was tied up, and tied quite tightly.
So, just as she watched the giant snake bite down on Jason, she thought everything was over.
Jason suddenly turned around and swung the godslaying sword in his hand.
A black sword light cut the giant snake that opened its mouth wide to bite down into two halves!
The red blood fell like rain.
But it could not pollute Jason in the slightest.
Jason looked at the giant snake that fell to the ground after being torn into pieces by his sword, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
At the same time, with a soft cry, the golden-horned deer ran over.
She stood outside with some disgust, calling out to Jason.
"Sorry, Sister Lu, I'll be right there!"
Jason called out to Sister Deer, and then returned to Hesione in the bright red rain.
Recovered the Aegis.
"Remember to have your father present the tribute to Lord Poseidon when you return. As for this matter, I will personally apologize to Lord Poseidon."
While speaking to Hesione who was staring at him blankly, Jason performed two beautiful sword flowers and cut the ropes that bound Hesione.
Then he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, what's your name!?"
Behind Jason, Hesione's questioning voice was heard.
If it were in the past, Jason would naturally not reply, but in this situation... there is really no need to hide it.
"Jason, well... barely a hero."
He, who had been most reluctant to be a hero, finally gave such an answer during his...last journey.

PS: I always feel that the stories I write now can’t capture the same flavor as before.
Well, it should be that the original flavor has indeed dissipated because the plot has progressed to this point.
Never mind, I'll just keep writing and finish it.
This chapter has 7 words, so I won’t be able to finish it in the evening.
Chapter 4: Invitation from Moon Goddess Artemis (k)
Since then, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, Jason was in a wood when he saw Hermes, the messenger of the gods, who was lying on a lawn with a grass root in his mouth and had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Poseidon, the god of the sea, has forgiven the people of Troy, and their king has offered a corresponding reward."
When the two met, Hermes immediately told Jason what happened next.
He said to Jason with a smile: "It is their princess who hopes I can bring her to see you again, but I did not agree."
"Thank you, merciful God Hermes..."
"Alright, alright." Hermes waved Jason off, even hugging his body and pretending to shiver. He said to Jason, "Don't be like this, I'm not used to it... What, have you done something wrong again?"
"I killed the messenger of Poseidon, the king of the sea."
Jason did not hide anything and told Hermes the truth.
At the same time, the golden-horned deer on the side called out twice to help, indicating to Hermes that it was the monster that wanted to swallow Jason first, so it was killed.
“Messenger?…Oh, you mean the water snake?
It's okay, it's okay. Poseidon and I saw it. Poseidon was so happy to receive the tribute that he even handed the snake's body over to Troy's people to deal with.
That night, a banquet was held around the corpse, and Poseidon ate with great joy."
Upon hearing this, Jason was stunned for a long time.
For a moment, he really didn't know what to say about this matter.
"Anyway, there's plenty of that stuff in the water. To be precise, based on the princess's description, Poseidon was quite worried at the time. Did that scare you?"
"This... is thanks to the kindness of the great Poseidon, the Sea King."
After hearing what Hermes said, Jason hesitated for a while and found that he could only sing praises to Poseidon.
So, it just passed like that.
"Speaking of which, Jason, you didn't leave the name of Hercules this time."
Jason glanced at the smiling Hermes, and without saying anything, he stood up and spread his hands, indicating the snow-white holy robe on his body.
Now, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
This snow-white holy garment woven by the goddess of wisdom Athena has become a symbol of his identity.
Even when he appears and wherever he goes, people who see him will become extremely excited, praise the gods, and feel that today is an extremely lucky day.
"Lord Hermes is extremely grateful for your help right now, but...if something similar to what happened in the Kingdom Hall happens again, I don't want you to do anything, Lord Hermes.
At least, please stop eating beside me."
Jason looked at Hermes in front of him and said sincerely.
"Okay, okay, ahem, we're close friends... Oh, Jason, I remember you had a senior brother named Actaeon, right?
He seems to have even gone on the Golden Fleece Journey with you."
Hermes, who was lying on the lawn with his head in his hands and his legs crossed, coughed twice and then spoke to Jason as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Well, what's wrong?" Although Jason knew that Hermes was trying to change the subject, he still continued the conversation.
"As expected... Then you should hurry to Mount Kiseron. The spells I left behind can only help him temporarily, not forever.
If you were any later, he would have been shot into a hedgehog by Artemis!"
Hermes couldn't help but smile wickedly when he said this.
"Goddess Artemis?"
Jason was stunned for a moment, blinked at Hermes, and asked in confusion: "What happened? Is there any misunderstanding?
I remember that Brother Actaeon has always respected you very much."
"It's not a question of respect or disrespect... Should we say he was lucky or unlucky? Anyway, he just happened to encounter it."
Hermes said to Jason with a wicked smile, "He happened to see Artemis bathing with a group of nymphs in the forest.
If I hadn't happened to pass by there when I came to find you, and found him familiar so I removed the mark on him and made him hide, he might have already... "
As Hermes spoke, Jason's brows gradually furrowed.
He knew about this and was in trouble.
Because Artemis, the moon goddess, was a virgin goddess, and Jason also knew Artemis's temper.
This incident is actually a very famous story in ancient Greek mythology.
Actaeon was a famous hunter in Greek mythology and was indeed a student of Chiron.
One day when he was hunting in Mount Kiseron, he heard the sound of women playing in the woods, and subconsciously followed the sound.
Instead, he saw Artemis showering with the same group of woodland nymphs.
The dazed Actaeon actually couldn't see the holy body of Artemis, because when the nymphs saw him appear, they panicked and, as servants of the moon goddess, they also hurriedly gathered together to block the goddess' body.
At the end of the story, Artemis scooped up a handful of water from the lake and sprayed it on the head and face of the young man opposite, cursing him.
Finally, after escaping, Actaeon grew a pair of horns on his head, his neck became long and thin, and his ears became long and pointed.
His arms turned into thighs, his hands into hooves, and spotted fur grew on his body, turning him into a wild deer.
He then died at the hands of his hunting dogs and the arrows of his friends who were searching for him.
But this time Actaeon was not cursed by Artemis, because the moment he walked to the forest pool and was about to drink water, he noticed someone and that something was wrong, so he turned and ran away.
It was not like the story said, where he just stared blankly at everything in front of him and only woke up after being cursed by Artemis.
He ran so fast that Artemis and the others were unable to react for a moment.
At the same time, he took a quick glance and naturally did not see anything he should not have seen.
But even so, he was hunted by Artemis.
"are you going?"
Hermes asked Jason with a smile.
Jason looked at him and thought about it.
"I think this is a bit of a coincidence... There's no reason why Senior Brother Actaeon could survive the hands of an angry Goddess Artemis.
Master Hermes, you were actually here from the beginning, right?"
Hermes was stunned.
There is actually a very famous story in the myth about Artemis.
That is Artemis's 'eyesight'.
A hero was also involved, Orion, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Apollo, the god of light, disliked Orion and felt that he could not be with Artemis, so he used a trick to let Artemis kill Orion with a single shot from a long distance.
Although Jason did not remember the myth, he knew that he was often watched by Artemis from a distance.
