Don't try to play wolf in sheep's clothing!

'Troublesome.'

At this moment, in the eyes of the warriors, who were besieging Chimera, it seems like Jason has come down from the sky to save the struggling mortals.

But, on the other side, looking at Chimera, who is kicked to the ground by him and hasn't gotten up yet, Jason feels it is going to be a really troublesome fight.

'Because compared to the frontal confrontation, I would prefer first using stealth spell, then hide behind Chimera to sprinkled bottles of different kind of poisons on it, till Chimera stops moving, and finally cut off its head when it can't even react.'

Jason thought of the original plan he would have used if not for the fact that hundreds of warriors were already fighting against Chimera.

Because Jason believes that following through with the original plan in the current situation would have resulted in the death of warriors to the last man.

'Unlike Heracles and most of the other heroes, I don't like going for head-on combat every time, rather, I prefer planning everything while sitting on my chair, then if possible, achieving the goal by not even participating directly.'

Thinking of this, Jason couldn't help looking around, and gazing at the warriors, who are looking at him in surprise and excitement, and due to whom he had to choose this method, he couldn't help but sigh again.

After throwing away the sword in his hand that is corroded and deformed by Chimera's flames, Jason patted to remove the dust on his body and began readying himself for the proceeding combat...

Chimera's flames are indeed extraordinary, even Pegasus didn't directly face it and preferred dodging it.

But even if Chimera's flames are very corrosive and strong, there is no way it could possibly hurt Jason, who has been tempered by the unquenchable flames of Underworld.

And obviously, Chimera's flame also can't burn Jason's clothes, clothes personally woven by Athena herself, especially when one of the materials used for making these clothes is Unquenchable Flame.

So, Jason's lips slightly moved, as he began chanting the spell.

Although, in general, magic spells are very long, with High-Speed Divine Words they can be cast almost instantaneously.

And obviously, Jason doesn't have the problem of getting tongue-tied while chanting spells.

Therefore, Jason lightly tapped the ground with the Magic Staff given to him by Hecate, which Jason has already taken out the moment he began chanting the spell.

'Clang--'

With a light sound of the Magic Staff softly tapping the ground, one of the spells engraved on the Magic Staff began taking effect to complement the spell chanted by Jason.

And suddenly, a dark magic circle appeared on the ground under the staff and began extending speedily.

Along with dazzling light, in less than a moment, this magic circle enveloped Jason, Pegasus, and Chimera, while those warriors who were also in the range of this magic circle were directly sent out.

Then, immediately, under the shocked gazes of the surrounding warriors, the already barren land in the range of the magic circle disappeared.

Simultaneously, it got replaced by the land with pure white spider-lily flowers blooming on it.

With the appearance of pure white spider-lily flowers on the ground, the flowers of Underworld, ghost butterflies exuding deep blue light also appeared around Jason, and after circling Jason twice, they flew towards Chimera.

'I can use this domain spell only once a month... and originally, I was going to use this on the Calydon's wild boar, but...'

Thinking like this while operating the spell, Jason watched Chimera getting up.

And starring at the sudden appearance of this dark and ghostly domain in front of it, Chimera is naturally a little panicked.

So, Chimera opened all three of its mouth to roar at Jason, but then, it found that it is unable to make any sound.

"Shh..." Jason put his index finger on his lips and after simultaneously completing the last part of the spell, he said to Chimera with a smile: "In Underworld... loud noises are not allowed."

And immediately after saying this, Jason raised his Magic Staff and solemnly prayed: "Great King of Underworld, God Hades, Hecate's student, Jason, here prays to you, please let the darkness envelop this Chimera, an evil monster that has harmed many humans!"

As soon as words fell, under the power of Hades, Chimera was shrouded in darkness, and his five senses were taken away.

"Goddess Persephone, the great Queen of Underworld, here, Jason is requesting you, please restrain the savage strength of Chimera!"

Again, as soon as the words fell, dark vines began growing out of the pure white spider lily flowers and immediately entangled the struggling Chimera to imprison it and made it unable to move from its place.

[T/N: In case needed, Charon is the Ferry-God of Styx, different from the Centaur Sage Chiron.]

"The great God of Styx, God Charon, here, Jason is praying to you, please use the water of the Styx to wash the sins of Chimera and wash away the filthy power on its body!"

And again, shortly after the words fell, the ground under Chimera's feet collapsed into a pothole, and the water of the Styx began flowing out of the pothole to wash Chimera's body.

Soon, the water of the Styx disappeared along with the dark vines binding Chimera.

And the miserable and dying Chimera fell to the ground.

After all, without the protection of Gods, strong or not, this is the real fate of those getting washed by the water of Styx.

So, Jason, who has simultaneously prayed to the three gods and gotten their help, looked at Chimera, feeling: 'It is almost the time to end this and give a finishing blow.'

Invisibility, spell to even enter and exit Underworld, comprehensive strengthening, and Underworld Domain are the four spells Jason has used till now, of the total of five spells that are engraved on his Magic Staff.

The fifth spell is an overbearing attack spell, but Jason hesitated only for a moment and decided to not use it.

While thinking: 'If that spell is used, it will definitely attract the attention of Zeus... the noblest god of Olympus.'

'Although that God, most likely, won't blame me or Teacher Hecate at this moment, it is better to not give an invitation to another trouble.'

As for the spell that Jason has just used, the Underworld domain, as its name suggests, is a spell to manifest Underworld on the land and it is one of the life-saving means Hecate has created for Jason at his request.

Because, in this field, all the Underworld Gods, who generally could not interfere with the matters going on land, can freely and directly take action; as a quote, in this domain, they can even close the door and release the dog, just here, with Cerberus, it is quite literally the case.

However, considering that Chimera and the three-headed hellhound, Cerberus are brothers, Jason decided to not release the dog.

Then, Jason used the comprehensive strengthening spell from the Magic Staff on himself, and immediately all his attributes were improved.

At the same time, although Jason knows that Chimera should still be under the effect of Hade's powers with not being able to hear or see anything due to his five senses being stripped away as if it has fallen in the middle of endless darkness, Jason still skillfully threw a flash grenade spell at Chimera.

Then, his lips moved slightly, and using the high-speed divine words, Jason turned into ghost butterflies, just like his teacher Hecate does.

And with butterflies mutually switching positions, Jason instantly appeared in front of Chimera, as if he has teleported, which in a way, is indeed the case.

So, under the effect of the comprehensively strengthened magic, which, at the strong request of Jason, Hecate has engraved in such a way that even his Magic Staff is significantly strengthened...

'Boom!'

With a loud bang, Jason slammed his Magic Staff on Chimera's lion head.

And this heavy blow made Chimera's lion head, as a matter of fact, even his whole body sink deep into the ground, with blood rapidly flowing out of the various places on it and dyeing the ground.

Simultaneously, the goat head and snakehead on the tail, who have been slightly struggling, also became silent and then fell down.

Pegasus, who immediately sensed Chimera's death, flew down from the sky.

After glancing at the miserable Chimera on the ground, suddenly, Pegasus cautiously and swiftly stepped back while watching Jason, who is already holding a small wisp of unquenchable flame in his hand, clearly ready to burn down the corpse to not even leave behind the ashes.

"His--!"

Seeing this, Pegasus hurriedly kicked his feet a few times, while neighing loudly to indicate: 'It is clearly dead, it can't die any more than this!'

"His--!"

'Moreover, you don't need to use your everything on just a Chimera that is already dead.'

Although Jason obviously can't directly understand what Pegasus is saying, being together with Jason for a long time, Pegasus has learned to roughly express his ideas to Jason.

"Like you understand anything." Jason, who trusts Pegasus, took back the immortal fire, but at the same time, seriously replied to Pegasus: "If you can't escape, then you must fight with all your strength, and in combat, don't think of pretending to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, because then, you will most likely meet the end of a sheep!"

Pegasus gave a humanly blank look at Jason, then turned his head away, seemingly too lazy to pay attention to Jason's teachings.

Do you know, in Greek Mythology there are Five ages of man:

The first one is here in chronological order (because writing all five would have made it too lengthy and boring)

1)-The Golden Age. During the Golden Age of Man, the ruler of gods and men was the Titan Cronus, also mankind lived harmoniously among the gods and interacted with them. There was an abundance of food that nature provided, and humans did not need to work; so, they were able to live to very old age, and when they died, it happened harmoniously and peacefully.
