Finally arriving at the enemy's palace, Sharon looked out at the princesses and daughters filling the palace, all cheering and waving at him, calling him "teacher" with a cheerful welcome. He fell into deep thought...
This...the children that the top management of the Emotional Empire doesn't want are thrown into an orphanage?
Chapter 7: Pay tribute to Apollo, the god of light! (.k)
In the dark and gloomy underworld.
At this moment, two living souls, one dead soul and a dog are walking on the underworld road from the "Road of No Return" back to the human world.
The sword of Apollo, the god of light, was emitting a gentle light at this moment, enveloping Asclepius and his mother.
This allowed Asclepius, who had lost the protection of the gods, to still walk in the underworld.
But because this light is not a protection, it has been suffering from the erosion of the dark energy in the underworld.
Its light was being swallowed up by the underworld bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Road to Hell is also called the Road of No Return.
As the name suggests, anyone who steps into the underworld, whether living or dead, can only move forward and cannot go back.
This is the iron law of the underworld.
Even the gods who are high above cannot trample upon this iron law!
At the same time, this is also the reason why Asclepius cannot exist in the world if he develops a magic medicine that can bring people back to life.
But even so, just as the concept of "miracle" still exists in the long river of destiny, nothing is absolute.
Even if there is something that seems absolute, isn't it enough to just break it?
Accomplishing the 'impossible' is what makes a hero! ...Although Jason, no matter how many things he accomplishes, will never admit to being a hero.
"Brother Asclepius, the sword that Apollo, the God of Light, lent me won't hold out for long. We must speed up!"
With the addition of the three-headed hellhound (who was tricked), Jason's pressure was instantly reduced a lot.
He was able to catch his breath under the protection of the dead souls in the underworld who smelled the breath of living things and rushed towards him.
So he naturally discovered that the light that protected Asclepius and his mother was gradually being swallowed by the underworld.
Asclepius, who was walking with his head down, nodded slightly after hearing Jason's words.
Then the speed increased a bit.
But the road of no return... is so long!
Asclepius was not a warrior, he was just a doctor.
So after more than two hours of traveling, Asclepius gradually showed signs of fatigue.
As a result, the pace slowed down.
Sweat appeared on his forehead, and the mother on his back began to feel heavy.
But Asclepius could only grit his teeth and move forward, because Hades said that he could not stop for a moment to rest on this road.
Just keep moving forward!
If he stops for a moment, he will not be able to bring his mother out of the underworld.
At the same time, after more than two hours of fighting, Jason gradually showed signs of exhaustion...mainly because these undead in the underworld are immortal beings themselves.
Moreover, their attacks are not aimed at the body, but at the soul!
Each of their attacks did not cause physical harm to Jason, but a shock to his soul.
And as time went by, the undead blocking Jason's way not only did not disappear, but gathered more and more!
At this moment, Jason was really glad that he happened to meet the three-headed dog of hell who skipped work and took a walk around and then came to join in the fun.
Otherwise, he really would not be able to protect Asclepius and his mother under such an attack from the undead.
Of course, compared to Jason's relief, Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, was naturally extremely depressed at this moment.
I finally have a companion for guarding the goal, so I can go out for a walk and do some paddling.
But I didn’t expect to encounter such a bad thing on my first stroll!
Cerberus became more and more angry as he thought about it. After raising his head and roaring "Woof woof woof!", he began to drive away the undead in front of him even more ferociously.
Seeing this, the gods of the underworld who were watching the battle in secret, as well as the nymphs who were like fire spirits, couldn't help but chuckle.
"This Cerberus... is really working hard."
"After all, the child in white is Hecate's child, so it's normal for Cerberus to work hard."
"But isn't it guarding the gate to the underworld? How did it get here?"
"I heard it was because that child, during his last battle with someone, encountered Cerberus's brother, the two-headed dog Otisius. Cerberus dragged him to the underworld to guard the gate together."
"Oh, I see... But Cerberus broke the rules, didn't he? I think he's in trouble later."
"Hey, isn't it Hecate's child who broke the rules?"
"Fool, don't you know that child is the brother of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, and therefore the brother of Hades! The last time the rules were broken, Lord Hades was biased, not to mention that there's a scapegoat this time!"
"Oh…poor Cerberus."
"Shh, stop talking, Lord Pluto is here!"
Hades, the god of the underworld, glanced at the whispering gods around him, then looked away without saying anything.
Well, they actually understood so well that it saved Hades the trouble of explaining things later...
Obviously, Cerberus has to take the blame!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t know yet.
Poor Cerberus.
"Woof woof woof! Do you guys know who I am? I am Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell. Get out of here, woof woof woof!"
He was venting his resentment, and at the same time, he noticed that Jason was gradually losing strength and Cerberus was no longer slacking off... After all, they were all on board.
Then, the three heads of Cerberus roared at the same time, which briefly frightened most of the undead and gave Jason a lot of breathing space.
Taking advantage of this time, Jason and his companions took another big step forward.
Finally, after more than three hours, we walked out of the vast gray plain.
So the undead wandering on the gray plains had to stop attacking Jason.
But this doesn't mean that Jason and the others are relieved. On the contrary, what comes next... is the most critical moment!
Walking out of the gray plain, in front of you is the underworld residence covered with white poplar trees and blooming red spider lilies, where countless monsters and goblins live.
Even with the threat of Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, Jason and Asclepius faced an even more severe test!
But Jason had no time to think about so much. Not to mention that Asclepius could not stop, the light protecting Asclepius alone could not last long.
In two hours at most, the breath of the underworld will once again corrode Asclepius' soul!
"This won't work, Jason. You and your brother, come up to me. I'll get you out!"
Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound, obviously sensed something was wrong, especially when he moved his nose and smelled some familiar breath approaching, his expression became serious.
"No, Lord Cerberus. Brother Hades said that Senior Brother Asclepius must personally carry his mother out of this road of no return before they can return to the human world."
"Damn, this is such trouble!" Cerberus bared his teeth, and all three heads raised simultaneously, looking towards the distance. "Jason, we're in trouble... Some of my old friends are here, and I probably can't protect you anymore!"
"Old friend?"
As soon as Jason finished replying, his doubts were answered.
On the dark road ahead, there appeared a giant black python, a giant from the underworld holding a huge club, and some strange ghosts from the underworld.
Apparently, he smelled the breath of living creatures and Cerberus, and came here.
When Jason saw them, his expression naturally changed.
"Jason, I leave the rest to you. I must take my old friends away, otherwise our battle will inevitably affect you!"
"...Thank you, Lord Cerberus. Don't worry, once this is over, I will definitely find time to repay you!"
"Hmph, what are you talking about? What's your relationship with me... But if you have time, it would be best if you could take me out to play."
Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but laugh.
Where did you come from, little puppy locked up at home? Why are you so looking forward to going out for a walk every day... As expected, little puppies all like to run around.
Just as Jason was thinking this, the roaring three-headed dog of hell leaped over and pounced on the tall giant, or the pitch-black python.
"Brother Asclepius, run... I know you're tired, but we must run. And remember, don't stop, and don't look up... Don't worry, I mean what I say. I will eliminate all obstacles in your way. Just keep moving forward!"
At the same time, Jason spoke loudly to Asclepius.
He took out some potion and poured it into Asclepius' mouth.
These potions replenished some of Asclepius's physical strength, so after gritting his teeth, Asclepius ran hard.
At this moment, although Asclepius could not see, he could hear. He could clearly hear how miserable the cries of the dead in the underworld were, which made people shudder, let alone fight against them!
Moreover, Asclepius also knew that the souls in the underworld were immortal, so he fully understood how difficult Jason's battle was at this moment.
But now all he could do was to take the guidance given to him by Jason and keep moving forward to get out of this dark road of no return!
Just like that, just ten minutes later...
"hateful!"
Jason gritted his teeth and held the magic spear in his hand with a slightly trembling hand. He looked at the screaming undead flying in the sky above the underworld and the evil spirits blocking the way in front of him, and felt helpless.
He has tried very hard... He has tried his best.
But now that Cerberus has left, he really has no way to continue driving away these undead spirits.
After all, force is of no use to them!
Moreover, as time goes by, the number of these underworld creatures will not decrease but will increase.
Now, both Jason and Asclepius, who had stopped running and was walking step by step with heavy breathing, had obviously reached their limits.
Is this all I can do?
Jason thought this unwillingly in his heart.
Just as Jason felt a trace of despair in his heart, the underworld gods around him sighed and thought it was over. Even Hades was silent.
The dead souls who were roaring sadly at him and Asclepius suddenly stopped.
It was as if it had stopped moving and did not attack Jason.
Jason was slightly stunned when he saw this. When he was wondering, he suddenly found a dancing dark butterfly flying towards him in front of him.
In this dim underworld, a dancing butterfly appeared in front of Jason and landed on the stunned Jason's shoulder.
Then, on the dim road ahead, a faint dark light illuminated the road ahead. A beautiful goddess dressed in black was walking on the road to the underworld, supported by many dark butterflies.
It appeared in Jason's eyes, which gradually widened, changing from surprise to ecstasy, and he became extremely excited.
"I say...can't you just calm down a bit?"
Then, a pleasant, gentle and helpless sound reached Jason's ears.
The goddess also came to Jason, reached out her hand, and pinched Jason's cheek helplessly.
"Teacher...Teacher Hecate, you are finally here!"
Jason said this and rushed towards Hecate.
That’s right, who else could this beautiful goddess who is supported by the Hades butterfly, wearing a black dress, with long black hair and red eyes, be other than Jason’s teacher Hecate!
But Hecate dodged Jason by slightly turning sideways. She rolled her eyes at Jason and said, "You... I just went out for a little while, and you got yourself into trouble again... It's really lively."
Hecate raised her head and glanced around.
I saw the gods of the underworld and Hades, the king of the underworld, who were watching the show!
Then he looked at Asclepius, who was still moving forward despite her arrival, and then at the tired Jason.
There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he understood what was going on.
"So that's what happened... There's nothing we can do about it."
