And there was a half-human, half-snake female monster illuminated by the bonfire.
That was Lamia, the former Queen of Libya, who was cursed by Hera.
Relying on the invisibility magic, Jason came to Lamia's side, and then under the illumination of the flames, Jason could see her face clearly.
If you only look at her upper body, she is undoubtedly an extremely charming and beautiful blonde woman. No wonder she once had so many good reputations.
At this moment, she was fighting with these young farmers in front of her, who were trembling with fear and holding up wooden pitchforks.
Under Jason's emerald eyes, he found that Lamia looked very painful, and was only screaming threats at these people instead of directly hurting anyone.
Otherwise, her long, colorful snake tail would probably be able to easily kill the civilians in front of her with just a light sweep.
As Jason thought and observed.
Lamia's screams became increasingly harsher, and her struggles grew weaker.
In the end, her expression had completely transformed into that of the 'Goddess of Vengeance', her eyes blinded by hatred.
Unable to endure the torture of the curse, she was ready to tear everything in front of her to pieces!
But just as she roared and swung her colorful tail, the invisible Jason easily blocked her tail with his staff.
Because she used too much force, the collision between the reinforced staff and the tail caused Lamia to groan in pain.
"...Hey, what happened?" The people who were rescued by Jason and survived the disaster were feeling terrified and surprised.
Lamia became more and more irritable because of the pain, and she danced with her long claws amidst the shrill screams.
The completely beast-like eyes stared at the civilians in front of him and waved at them.
Seeing this, Jason had to remove the invisibility magic and appear in front of these people and Lamia.
After easily blocking Lamia's claws with his staff, Jason said calmly, "Back off," under the shocked gazes of those behind him.
After saying that, Jason exerted a little force and made Lamia take several steps back.
"Who are you!"
Lamia opened her eyes wide and glared at the blond Jason in front of her.
"Hercules." Then, in the eyes of those he saved, Jason replied with confidence.
Well, yes, he is Hercules now.
As for Jason?
Who is that? Sorry, I don’t know him!
"Hera...Hera, Hera, Hera!!!"
What happened next surprised Jason a little, but was also within his expectations.
After hearing the word Hera, Lamia's expression gradually became more and more angry and violent.
"My child, my child...Hera I hate you, I hate you!"
An even stronger rage erupted on her face!
Then, under the light of the campfire, it became visible to those who were hiding in the dark or who had lost their footing and were unable to escape.
It presents a scene that only exists in the pictures sung by bards.
I saw the Son of God, dressed in snow-white clothes, with blond hair and blue eyes, as dazzling as the great god of light Apollo.
He held the sword high in his hand and fought with Lamia, who had transformed into a monster, to protect the people behind him.
He is so tall and majestic, and his name is - 'Hercules'!
The battle lasted for half an hour...but in fact, it was over at the beginning.
How could Lamia, who turned from a queen into a monster, be a match for Jason today?
Therefore, if Jason wanted to, he could easily kill Lamia.
But Jason naturally would not do that. After all, the 'eagle' was watching him not far away, so Jason just resisted.
What should I do?
Jason was thinking about this problem while resisting Lamia's attack, but even he could not think of a solution in a short time.
What puzzled Jason was that Zeus' attitude was also ambiguous.
After bringing me here, I just watched from the side, without any clear indication of whether to kill or save...
However, as time went by, the hatred in Lamia's eyes and the influence of the curse gradually eased.
So after a while, she regained consciousness and stopped her fierce attack on Jason.
She stopped and looked at everything in front of her with a slightly confused expression.
Looking at the people looking at her with panic in their eyes, and the blond-haired, blue-eyed hero in front of her, Lamia quickly realized what was happening, and her expression turned from confusion to pain.
Finally, Lamia looked at Jason with gratitude, then turned around and quickly disappeared under the moonlight.
Jason watched her leave, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the eagle that was watching Lamia leave, turned around, and whistled.
In return, I got a Pegasus that seemed to fly from the moonlight.
Under the admiring gazes of the people behind him, Jason mounted his Pegasus and chased in the direction of Lamia.

Chapter 4 This is not a perfect story (k)
sleepless night
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The next day, Jason rode on Pegasus and quietly followed Lamia, who had turned into a snake demon, in the sky, with the eagle also following.
Finally, the snake demon Lamia ran into the ancient forest and came to a stream to rest.
Leaning against the stream, the thirsty Lamia stretched out her hands to scoop up the clear water from the stream and drank it. Then, looking at her reflection in the stream, her expression quickly became complicated, and she began to slap the water in front of her with her hands.
As Jason landed quietly, he naturally heard Lamia covering her face with her hands and crying softly.
So Jason couldn't help but look at the eagle that had landed nearby.
Then he stepped forward and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Lamia, the Queen of the Libyan Kingdom...right?"
The sudden sound naturally startled Lamia.
Her whole body trembled slightly, and after her snake tail shook for a while, Lamia immediately turned her head to look at Jason.
When she saw clearly the blond and blue-eyed boy in front of her, who was still blessed by the light even though he was in the dark and deep ancient forest.
"It's you!"
Soon, Lamia recognized Jason and said in surprise, "You are the hero from last night, Hercules!"
"Ahem." Jason coughed lightly, his expression unchanged as Pegasus, staring at him in silence, asked, "Are you here again?" He replied calmly, "Hercules is my title, but my real name is Jason.
And I’m not a hero.”
After saying this, Jason bowed to Lamia in front of him.
The image reflected by the clear stream at this moment is Jason, the god's favorite, dressed in white, with blond hair and blue eyes, smiling as he faces the cursed queen in front of him, who has been transformed from a beautiful and gentle queen into a despised snake demon Lamia.
"...Aren't you afraid of me?"
Lamia's enchanting snake eyes gazed upon the extraordinary hero, so naturally she saw the holy Pegasus beside Jason.
Then Lamia understood and said, "Yes, of course you are not afraid of me, because you are a great hero who was guided here by the great gods in the sky, right?"
In response, Jason smiled lightly and did not deny it.
"I didn't expect that she wouldn't let me go even after this." Lamia said sadly, then smiled miserably and said, "No, should I say that the Queen Hera has finally chosen to forgive me?
Come, hero named Hercules."
As she spoke, Lamia propped herself up, and with her tail wriggling, she came in front of Jason, looking at him with her weird snake eyes.
At the same time, with a tone of relief, he raised his neck towards Jason and said, "Come, kill me!"
Seeing this, Jason blinked.
It soon became clear that Lamia had misunderstood. She probably thought that she was the one Hera had sent to kill her...but given the name, it would have been difficult for Lamia not to misunderstand.
"Queen Lamia, I think you are mistaken." Jason replied softly: "I am not here under the guidance of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, so I will not kill you. On the contrary, I am here to help..."
Jason hadn't finished speaking yet.
"No, anything is fine."
Lamia interrupted Jason, smiled sadly, and said to Jason: "Kill me, Jason... If you are here to help me, then this will be the greatest redemption for me!"
Under Jason's slightly stunned gaze, Lamia continued, "I've had enough... enough of this life!
Because I became like this, I killed my own child with my own hands, and that image was permanently engraved in my eyes.
It keeps me awake, and I can’t even close my eyes.”
"Now, whenever I close my eyes, the image of killing them with my own hands will appear before my eyes. I suffer this torture day and night. Only by buttoning my eyes can I feel a little better."
"And every night, the curse would devour my mind, plunging me into endless pain. At that time, the only way for me to relieve myself was to kill other people's children and listen to the pain of those mothers who had lost their children."
"So... kill me, no matter who sent you here, whether it's the real Queen Hera or not, kill me."
Lamia covered her face with her hands, weeping and saying to Jason in a voice of pain and despair: "Kill me... Even if you are a hero called by a benevolent god to help me, I only ask one thing of you, that is to kill me and let me be free!"
Upon hearing this, Jason fell silent as he looked at Lamia, who was crying in grief but could no longer shed tears.
He clenched his fists lightly and didn't look at the eagle.
After a long time, Jason slowly exhaled, looked at Lamia, and said: "Even if I say that I have the ability to remove the curse from you..."
"No need." As expected by Jason, Lamia, who had completely lost the desire to live, replied directly: "Because I no longer have the right to live in this world."
Hearing her sad words, Jason slowly closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, nodded gently to Lamia, and said, "...I understand."
After saying this, the eagle looked towards Jason.
But in the end, he said nothing.
Hearing this, Lamia looked at Jason in front of her, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Thank you... kind hero."
"Before you die, is there anything you want to do or anything you wish to do?" Jason continued to ask.
Lamia was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to do something... Although I know I will never be forgiven by them, I want to apologize to them, but that's probably impossible..."
"Yeah."
Jason nodded, interrupted Lamia, and turned to Lamia and said, "Come on, I'll take you there to apologize to them."
Upon hearing this, Lamia looked at Jason in a daze.
Then Jason was seen riding on Pegasus, patting it, and then extending his hand to Lamia.
Lamia looked at the white Pegasus in front of her, and the handsome Jason in the sunlight, and then looked at the snake tail under her, and couldn't help but take two steps back, her face full of shame.
"It's okay, come up." Jason said softly, "Brother Ma won't mind... Don't look at me, I'll give you two cakes later!"
After saying that, Tenma immediately squatted down in front of Lamia obediently.
"No, no... I can just follow you on the ground. You are so noble, and I, ah!"
Jason didn't wait for Lamia to finish speaking. He reached out and grabbed her hand, pulled her over, and held her in his arms like a princess, in front of the eagle.
Of course, Jason was mainly afraid that Lamia, who had turned into a snake demon, would fall off her horse.
"Let's go."
As soon as Lamia subconsciously looked up and stared blankly at Jason's handsome face, Pegasus flapped its wings and flew at an extremely fast speed to the place where Jason and his companions rested last night and where the migrated villagers were.
About an hour later, Pegasus, traveling at full speed, brought Jason to his destination.
"Lamia is coming, Lamia is coming!"
"Wait, it's not just Lamia, it's... that's Hercules, the hero who saved us last night, Hercules!"
The holy Pegasus fell from the sky, naturally attracting the attention of everyone present in an instant.
