Once Davis stood in front of Young Leader Baris, he removed the spatial ring from his finger and forcefully tried to form a connection with it while using a negligent amount of Blood Essence.

*Crack!~*

However, when he established the blood connection by forcibly removing the connection of Young Leader Baris, the spatial ring gave a sound as if it had been cracked.

The spatial ring looked as if it had been cracked and he instantly threw it away from him without even the slightest hesitation.

*Boom!~*

The spatial ring suddenly exploded in mid-air!

No, it imploded and a tiny spatial vortex was created.

A small spatial crack swirled in the form of a point!

Davis was astonished to look at the phenomenon occurring before him. He had heard of the implosion of a spatial ring happening before in the Grand Sea Continent as it been recorded in the texts.

However, it was his first time seeing one!

Apparently, in the Grand Sea Continent, when a Low-Level Sky Grade Spatial Ring was destroyed, it exploded causing spatial instability at that point which in turn caused the explosion to turn into implosion, acting on one single point.

That one single point in s.p.a.ce had been subjected to such an enormous pressure that the point in that s.p.a.ce collapsed but instantly st.i.tched itself in a second.

However, that one second was enough to spew out all the items which had been in the spatial ring to the unknown s.p.a.ce.

Normally, if a spatial ring exploded, the items in it would spew out into the world at the same time, however, the implosion caused by the Sky Grade and above grade Spatial Rings causes the items in it to be lost in s.p.a.ce, unable to be retrieved.

Nevertheless, it seems like it was the same in the First Layer.

This told him about another matter. That the spatial stability in the Second Layer and the First Layer was one and the same.

Maybe, it was different in the Third Layer but he couldn"t be sure since he didn"t know much of spatial laws in the first place.

Davis looked at the black point disappearing while the fabric of s.p.a.ce st.i.tched itself like it was its own tailor.

"I should"ve killed Va.s.s before I forcibly destroyed his connection with the spatial ring..." He sighed while shaking his head, lamenting that he couldn"t get the antidote.

If he did so, then the blood or soul connection that Va.s.s had with the spatial ring should"ve simultaneously dispersed with his death, enabling him to bind the spatial ring to himself without any repercussions.

"Lesson learned..."

From his own spatial ring, Davis instantly took out the High-Level Sky Grade Cauldron which was slightly cracked and threw the necessary ingredients one by one that was required to concoct the antidote.

Fortunately, he had stocked up on many Earth Grade ingredients at that time when he had to cure Evelynn of her own poison because she would accidentally poison herself while training in poison laws in the beginning.

The pill he began to concoct didn"t take much longer, only a few minutes while using his King Grade Pill Concoction Technique.

The high temperature caused by the twelve soul flames was enough to quickly melt the ingredients into pill essence which he then gathered to collect ten pills from that one single batch.

All of the ten pills were at the Advanced Tier, two levels higher than the lowest tier that one could concoct.

Davis stored eight of the ten pills in his spatial ring and stepped forwards, briskly walking towards them.

However, the first one he approached was none other than Katrine Blackwell for none other than the reason that she was near him.

He extended his hands and in the tip of his finger was the pill he concocted. When he tried to pop the pill into Katrine Blackwell"s mouth, she tightly closed her lips.

"Benefactor?" Jackson Lars"s voice sounded with a hint of confusion and cautiousness.

Although the other party saved him, he still didn"t know for what reason they were still here, much less knew of the reason on why they were being fed pills.

"Could it be to silence us?" Jackson Lars"s heart pounded as its rhythm turned erratic.

Davis suddenly felt a soul sense probe in this area.

He didn"t bother to reply to Jackson Lars but force opened Katrine"s mouth with his soul force and popped it into her mouth.

Katrine Blackwell"s expression turned pale when she realized that she has swallowed the pill. She tried to vomit it out however, her gag reflex didn"t work since she was paralyzed.

Davis turned to look at Jackson Lars"s and saw his expression turn pale to the extreme.

Jackson Lars trembled, however, he didn"t make a sound since he had no way of knowing what pill she had been fed. His gaze focused on her facial expression, trying to gauge what was happening to her.

However, a pill was suddenly popped into his mouth and before he could realize, he swallowed it.

Nevertheless, he still didn"t take his eyes away from Katrine Blackwell and in a few seconds, his eyes widened once he saw her sit up on the table.

He saw her running towards him before she fell into his embrace, tightly hugging while he felt his shoulders being stained wet.

Subconsciously, he moved his hands to hug her and to his realization that he had also recovered a second later, they were already embracing each other in a pitiful trance.

Davis nodded his head inwardly to their reunion and took a step to leave, however, a few people suddenly arrived here causing him to stop in his tracks.

======

"Father!! Wuwuwu~" Lucia cried aggrievedly as she extended her helpless hand towards the masked people who disappeared from her view.

She was being embraced by her father, slowly being placated. Her heart was soothed from the affection of her father"s warmth.

Soon, she stopped crying but her mind was silent, not able to think anything as it turned blank.

Lucas woke up at this moment and looked towards the aftermath of the clash which he had no idea how it had happened. The spectacle in front him left him feeling a sense of fear but when he saw them suffering like that, his lips subconsciously curved.

Then his gaze fell on his father and he quickly understood that his father had come to save him.

But he didn"t know why Lucia looked so despondent. It was as if she had just cried her heart out.

Simultaneously, his heart turned cold.

"Could it be that someone close to us had died?" He couldn"t help but think, so he panned his gaze to find who had died from the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

"Lucas, are you fine?"

At this time, Daniuis asked in a worried tone.

"I can"t move, other than that, I"m fine I guess..." Lucas calmly spoke realizing that the paralysis poison was still effectively sealing his cultivation base and his movements.

However, the words "I"m fine" felt like a far cry to Daniuis.

Lucas"s left eye was missing from the socket, his lips had been cut and maimed, fingers from all four limbs had been cut. Even his member wasn"t left intact.

Lucas"s figure was a miserable one, to say the least. It was obvious that he had been tortured for who knows how many days for the purpose of divulging their hideout.

"What happened to Lucia?" Lucas worriedly asked.
