Type-Moon Greece, I really don't want to be a hero!

In childhood, people crawl on four legs, in middle age, they walk on two paths, and in old age, they walk on three paths with a cane... Is my answer correct, Master Sphinx?

"...I really didn't expect that you actually guessed the answer." The Sphinx, with a human face and a lion's body, looked at Jason's brief silence and acknowledged Jason's correct answer.

Then he stood up and made way.

"Now, you can go."

...So simple?

Atalanta tilted her head and looked at Jason in confusion.

Jason smiled at Atalanta, turned around, took the Pegasus, nodded politely to the Sphinx, and said, "In that case, we will leave, Master Sphinx."

After saying this, Jason took the puzzled Atalanta past the Sphinx, but just as they were about to turn their backs to the Sphinx.

The Sphinx watched them leave silently, suddenly opened its big mouth, danced its claws, and pounced on the two!

At that moment, although Atalanta reacted quickly thanks to her hunter's instinct, she was obviously not faster than Jason who was well prepared.

Jason instantly drew out his magic spear and swung it, colliding head-on with the Sphinx.

The Sphinx, a sphinx monster that was several times as tall as Jason, actually flew out under Jason's power!

After all, Jason now has the belt that defeated Ares!

"Master Sphinx, I wonder what you are doing..."

Before Jason could finish his question, he was greeted by the extremely angry face of the Sphinx.

The Sphinx opened its mouth wide, looked at Jason with resentment and said, "Shut up, human! Go to hell!"

Having said that, the Sphinx did not rush forward again immediately. Instead, it looked at the magic spear in Jason's hand and took two steps back, with an expression that was both angry and fearful.

…I knew it would be like this.

Jason, who was not particularly surprised, shook his head.

Although he didn't know much about the story of the Sphinx, Jason knew that these Greek creatures, whether gods or monsters, all had their own emotions.

And they are extremely face-conscious!

In fact, the Sphinx was killed because he attacked the tragic hero Oedipus out of anger and shame.

At this moment, Atalanta had already placed the arrow on the bow of the sky, and shot the sharp arrow at the Sphinx with a cold look.

However, the sword shot by Atalanta did not cause much damage to the Sphinx. After all, the identity of this monster was quite impressive.

The Sphinx was born to Echidna and her son, the two-headed dog Otysius... Yes, it was the banshee Echidna who took Typhon's blood and gave birth to the three-headed hellhound and the two-headed dog!

But because of this, the magic spear in Jason's hand naturally has an outstanding effect on the damage it causes.

"Atalanta, help me contain it."

After Jason finished speaking, without waiting for Atalanta to reply, he turned around and sat on Pegasus, pulled the reins, and flew towards the starry sky.

After Jason left and the magic spear failed to intimidate the Sphinx, it immediately pounced on Atalanta.

But Atalanta was very agile... In terms of speed, Atalanta was very good, and there were few Greek heroes who could compare with her.

Atalanta flexibly restrained the Sphinx and looked at Jason flying into the sky with confusion, wondering what he was going to do.

Then I saw a dazzling holy white light lighting up in the dark sky.

A hero who fell from the sky, carrying the oracles of the gods, and descended from the stars to earth...Atalanta actually had some doubts about such rumors.

But now, she understood why there were such rumors in the Kingdom of Kalia.

Jason grabbed the reins of Pegasus, and as the Pegasus ran at full speed and mobilized all its magic power, the two of them turned into a beam of white light.

That scene was like a real shooting star falling from the setting night sky, heading towards the Sphinx.

Faced with such a massive magical reaction, Atalanta stopped teasing the Sphinx and fled at a breakneck speed.

Although the Sphinx also felt it, when it looked up, it was stunned for a moment because of the shock of the magic spear in Jason's hand.

Then the holy white light engulfed the earth.

boom--!

There was a loud bang and the earth shook.

And the power this time is even more terrifying than when we faced Chimera!

Because this time it was Pegasus's real full-strength attack... At the beginning, because there were no reins, Pegasus was afraid that the aftermath would reach Jason, so he did not use close to his full strength.

But this time, only an extremely miserable cry was heard in the huge stone pit that seemed to be where a real meteor had fallen.

The Sphinx was lying inside, seriously injured.

At least it has a certain amount of Typhon's blood... Even if it doesn't exist, the Sphinx will not die so easily.

But it didn't have a chance to stand up.

Because in the next second, a sharp flash of light illuminated the night.

Jason used the flash magic to pierce the Sphinx's heart with a single shot!

No martial ethics, but fast, accurate and ruthless!

Not only that, Jason also understands the principle of finishing off the enemy.

Even after a while, when Atalanta ran back, Jason was still trying hard to poke the Sphinx with his magic spear.

"...What is he doing?"

This is the first time I see Jason finishing off the enemy... After all, the last time the Calydonian Boar was completely destroyed by the Luna Arrow.

Atalanta looked at Pegasus in confusion.

Tianma tilted his head, revealing an inhuman look that was unbearable to look at.

This is a disease...and it's in the late stage, the kind that cannot be cured!

"nothing."

Jason replied calmly, then stabbed the Sphinx twice in the heart and head. After making sure the creature was dead, he turned to look at Atalanta, thought for a moment, and said, "Atalanta, don't you want to cut something?"

Atalanta looked at Jason in confusion.

"Aren't trophies... quite popular?"

Greek heroes did have a tradition of taking some things from their defeated opponents as trophies.

Atalanta looked at the Sphinx, then at Jason, and shook her head. "That's not necessary... and I didn't do anything anyway."

"Um...are you sure you really don't want to?"

Atalanta nodded.

"Really, then I'm not welcome."

Then Jason took out a bottle of potion and sprinkled it on the Sphinx, while Atalanta watched with her mouth slightly open.

The Sphinx's entire body began to rot, and it disappeared from Atalanta's sight at an extremely fast speed...

"What... are you doing?" Atalanta opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but ask Jason.

"Destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces of it, lest it be resurrected by someone and cause trouble for me again."

Jason answered naturally, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

As for the soul... if it goes to the underworld, it will be given away for free!

"...It's no match for you at all. Is it necessary?" Atalanta was speechless.

Atalanta knew that Jason hadn't even shot an arrow!

"Of course!" Jason said to Atalanta seriously, "Even though it's not my opponent now, it doesn't mean it won't be after it's resurrected. So, we must nip this possibility in the bud!

Besides, it's always good to be cautious when you're out, right, Brother Ma?"

Tianma turned his horse face away and looked at me as if to say, "Don't ask me, I don't know you."

"Do you usually do this?" Atalanta thought for a moment and asked Jason with some curiosity.

"Yeah." Jason nodded.

In fact, this is indeed the case. So far, all the enemies who died at Jason's hands have been completely destroyed, without exception...

"...I really don't understand you." Looking at Jason who knew her and answered her, Atalanta...suddenly laughed.

Looking at Atalanta's smiling face, Jason couldn't help but be stunned.

Because in Jason's memory, he seemed to have never seen Atalanta smile, let alone smile at him.

As expected, just as Lady Artemis said, I really don't know anything about him... If you want to know more, why don't you go and see for yourself?

"Jason, where are you going now... do you still have the oracle with you?"

"Yes." Jason nodded, "I have a promise to fulfill with Lord Hermes."

"Really?" Atalanta nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go with you."

"...Hey!" Jason opened his eyes wide, "Aren't you going to help Sisyphus push the rock?"

"I instantly lost interest knowing it was you who came up with this... and don't even think about refusing."

Atalanta said calmly to Jason, who was about to refuse outright, "It's true that you took my bow without a word... Even if I tell Lady Artemis about this, she will agree!"

Don't.

If you tell this to the goddess Artemis, given her personality, there will be no hope at all!

"I'm following the oracle to save people, not to play..."

"That's great, I can help, or... do you think I'm unworthy?" Atalanta narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Jason.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that... Oh, Lord Hermes might be angry..."

"It's okay." Atalanta replied calmly, "I can ask the goddess Artemis for help. I don't think she will refuse my request."

"......What's wrong with you?" Jason looked at Atalanta speechlessly.

"Just think of it as a sudden urge." Atalanta clasped her hands in front of her and said to Jason, "And you should also know that even if you don't agree to my request, I will still follow you... just like I did three years ago!"

Jason was speechless upon hearing this, and felt a headache when he saw Atalanta, who had obviously made up her mind.

Sure enough...when I first met her, I knew she was definitely a trouble!

Damn it, I was still too naive. I should have nipped all the bad karma in the bud back then!

"...Okay, you better not follow me secretly, I promise."

Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Jason sighed and said to Atalanta, "But let's make three rules first... Since you want to follow me, you must swear to the moon goddess Artemis that you must obey me all the way!

Of course, you don’t have to listen to things that touch your bottom line!

And this is the only way. After this is over, you can't continue to follow me!"

Upon hearing this, Atalanta relaxed her slightly frown and swore an oath to the moon goddess Artemis.

He promised himself that he would listen to Jason along the way.

Chapter 3: Hunting Time! (k)

The next day, early morning.

When the bright sunshine shone on Jason's golden hair and handsome face like Apollo, the god of light, as he fell asleep leaning against Pegasus.

This made Jason subconsciously want to turn over and continue sleeping.

The sudden smell of meat teased Jason's stomach, forcing him to open his eyes in a daze.

Then Jason saw Atalanta, who had woken up at some point, roasting her breakfast, a caught rabbit, by the campfire.

Eating such greasy food so early in the morning might upset your stomach!

Seeing that there was only a hare on the grill, Jason curled his lips and muttered, then turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.

Then not long after...

"Atalanta, can you give me some?"

The hunter, dressed in beautiful emerald green, tilted his head to look at Jason, who was approaching and winking at him, and said calmly, "Catch it yourself... I have no reason to take care of you now!"
