"Boom, boom, boom!"

Apparently the warrior did not interrupt the life of the fire crab, and the war hammer constantly landed on the fire crab's carapace, making the magma surge even faster - although the fire crab had already used its huge chelicera as a shield after the first blow, and even shot lava from its mouthparts as an attack - but under the warrior's agility and heavy weapons, it was completely restrained.

If he continued to beat like this, Ron might only be able to harvest a mutilated corpse - something Ron would never allow!

"Don't kill it!"

"I'm still useful for this fire crab!"

“？”

The sound of rapid descent from the dark sky caused a question mark to appear above the heads of the warriors who were struggling to attack, and even the war hammer in his hand stopped—if it weren't for the fact that the fire crab had been severely injured by the continuous bombardment of the war hammer and had no power to fight back, he would definitely have been killed in a wave of counter-attacks.

"Don't kill!"

"I can buy it with gold!"

The red light of the lava shot straight into the sky, and it wasn't until less than a few tens of meters that Odom's black figure was revealed in the red light, and Ron continued to talk on Odom's back, and jumped down in time to land in front of the warrior - the warrior's high-held war hammer seemed to fall at any moment, and Ron had to stop him.

And the identity of the warrior is also very obvious - Takashi said a few days ago that they have hired a mercenary to destroy the fire crab - it is clear that this young warrior is a mercenary hired by the halfling.

"Lady Firehair is on top, are you sure?"

"This is a demonic beast with an abyssal bloodline, and it can't be tamed at all!"

Ayton squinted at the small figure in front of him in the red glow of lava and spoke—as a powerful mercenary who was already close to a legend, Ayton was not in fact a warrior, but a priest of the goddess of love and goodness - except that like other priests, he had not felt the god he believed in for a long time.

However, he still maintains his pride, using his family's inherited martial arts to destroy villains and demons.

Of course, during the adventure, Ayton also encountered many different intelligent races, which made him not too surprised by the small intelligent race in front of him.

"There are no absolutes!"

"You can see for yourself!"

Seeing the powerful warrior in front of him put away his weapon, Ron hurriedly stepped forward to check the state of the fire crab - fortunately, although he was seriously injured, at least he did not lose his life - so he answered Ayton's words while pressing his claws against the fire crab's carapace.

"Whew!"

The carapace of the fire crab was also hot, and there was immediately a puff of smoke from Ron's claws, and some burnt smell came out - such a small burn was expected by Ron, and Culkin's soul also flowed into the fire crab's body with this contact.

Then, to Ayton's astonished gaze, the fire crab staggered to its feet, its warhammer-shattered carapace healing, and the fiery lava flowing out of it no more—it stood behind Ron, as if guarding its master.

"It's amazing!"

"I didn't expect the demon to be tamed!"

Ayton sighed, and Ron of course knew that it was no longer his original soul that controlled the fire crab's body at this moment, but the metal giant Culkin, and at the same time, part of the fire divinity in Ron's body was also infused into the fire crab's body through the soul link, so that Culgin's body quickly recovered, and at the same time, it also began to produce inexplicable changes.

"I'm a hunter!"

"Any beast can be tamed. ”

"This fire crab is just a beast with the blood of the Abyss Demon, and it is still within my taming range!"

Ron smiled, exaggerating a little—and the sound of the battle alarmed the halflings in the mines, and the ordinary people, led by Ryu, cautiously approached the place of battle, holding aloft the usual bronze ingots—and shouted a reminder to Ron when they saw the fire crab (Culkin) behind Ron.

"Lord Ron, run!"

"Fire Crab, Fire Crab is right behind you!"

“............”

And in the face of these kind reminders, Ron naturally replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, this fire crab has become my pet!"

"You can touch it, it's not hot at all!"

Compared to the original soul of the fire crab, Culkin was much stronger - at this moment, under Culkin's control, the problem of the fire crab's body surface that could have lit firewood had completely subsided, and Ron's front paws did not even burn off a single hair to the touch - which was in stark contrast to the burns of his other front paw.

"Really?"

"Lord Ron is amazing!"

"Haha, don't worry about the fire crab coming to steal copper ingots in the future!"

“......”

The cheers rang out, and the halflings excitedly danced the tribal dance - and when they paused, Ron explained the course of the matter to them, emphasizing Ayton's role - after all, Ron only fired a concussive shot that made it impossible for the fire crab to escape, and the main damage was caused by Ayton.

Ron didn't want a small misunderstanding to deprive this mighty warrior of his chance to get paid.

Naturally, Ron's actions also won Ayton's favor, and after returning to the Ann tribe's camp on the coast and getting paid, Ayton and Ron sat by the sea, and he reintroduced himself.

And Ron finally learns who Ayton is - he is not a warrior, but the priest of the goddess of love and goodness, also known as the fire-haired lady, and the youngest priest ever.

"I grew up in a relaxed and comfortable environment, my parents were well-known aristocrats, and I didn't have to worry about my life at all. ”

"But compared to my parents, I seemed rather mediocre, and I did not inherit their intimidating charm and exuberant energy at all. ”

Perhaps it was because the wine made from seaweed by the [Ann] tribe was quite strong, but Ayton somehow felt that the little guy next to him was quite close, and even began to tell about his past.

"On the night of my fifteenth birthday, the goddess came to my dream and made a promise. ”

"Of course, I can't tell you the true content of this promise. ”

"However, when I woke up the next day, I swore to become the Goddess's Guardian Warrior, and in my studies, I became the Goddess's priest. ”

"But, I don't know why, I haven't been able to sense the goddess for the past few months, and even the divine gift has disappeared!"

Leaning his head between his arms, Ayton looked a little depressed - as for the reason for the disappearance of the goddess sense and divine magic, Ron was very clear - because of the time of the fateful clay tablet, all the human gods were exiled to the mortal world by His High Majesty, and the divine power and godhead were sealed, so naturally they could not be given divine magic.

Perhaps when she returns to her kingdom after the deadline has passed, she will be able to reconnect with the believers and bestow divine magic. [.]
