"What?" Ajax was shocked at the sudden unexpected notification from the system and looked at the powdered upgrade stone in his hand.
"What happened Ajax? Is something wrong?" Snowstorm and others heard Ajax's sudden shout and hurriedly asked him.
When he got the system notification, he could not suppress his shock and unconsciously shouted, making others look at him.
"Nothing, I felt a bad premonition and ...,"
"We understand what you are feeling. But, no need to worry, Godfather is more powerful than you think," Goliath consoled Ajax.
Goliath thought that Ajax was feeling guilty over the fact that he was the reason for the current situation they were in and asked him not to worry.
"Yes, Ajax. Just relax and watch," all others said something to console Ajax.
Initially, Ajax was only focused on helping Edmond by breaking Darbaudr's seal; however, after hearing their words, Ajax suddenly realized how many lives are at stake because of him and wanted to do something to help Edmond kill that old man.
"Thanks, everyone," Ajax, felt warm when he saw the nine cultivators who consoled him.
"No problem," All members nodded their heads and turned back to look at the fight that was about to start.
'What should I do? Why is it failed?' However, Ajax's mind was focused on the failed upgrade, and he felt anxious again.
'System, can you answer about it?' Ajax quickly asked the system.
'Ding,
When using an upgrade stone, there is a certain chance that the process will be failed.
'What? But it never happened before? Why did it happen at a time like this?' Ajax asked all the questions that were bothering him.
'Ding,
It doesn't mean that there is no failure if you didn't experience in the past.
Everything has its first time.
'Ding,
As for a reason, it failed this time is because the level of up-gradation of the artifact this time is high, so the chance of failure is also high.
'Young master, what are your orders?' Darbaudr asked Ajax through voice transmission.
'Can you unlock the space ring of others who are still alive,' Ajax asked embarrassedly and looked at Darbaudr.
Since Ajax couldn't unlock a space ring of an alive cultivator, and he hoped that Darbaudr, with his spatial affinity, might do some magic to unlock it.
Darbaudr first looked at the unconscious Levi and then looked at Ajax and said, 'If you want me to unlock his space ring, then I can unlock it since he was unconscious and the connection between him and space will be very loose.'
'Really?' Ajax felt his hope of escaping this situation suddenly increased as he excitedly asked the Barbarian.
'Give me a second,' Darbaudr knew that Ajax only wanted to do something to help Edmond, so he didn't think his young master was stealing something from Levi.
Ajax nodded his head and watched Darbaudr placing his hands on Levi's space ring.
The area around Levi's finger was soon surrounded by space elemental essence of nature for a moment before entering into the space ring.
Within a few seconds, after space elemental essence entered into the space ring, it came out of Levi's finger on its own, making Ajax puzzled.
'Here, young master,' Darbaudr gave the space ring, which was now ownerless to Ajax, who was still puzzled.
'Thanks, Darbaudr,' Ajax took the space ring and looked into it with his spirit consciousness.
As soon as his consciousness entered it, he was shocked by the space inside it and thought, 'Where should find an upgrade stone in this space.'
He didn't want to focus much on Levi's items and planned to pick only an upgrade stone as he felt it was not good to look at other person's things.
'But, from the looks of this vast space, I think I don't have another choice and have to look everything,' Ajax felt shame inside his heart for checking Levi's items without his permission.
However, he didn't have any other choices at the moment other than doing this.
'Sorry, Senior brother,' Ajax apologized to Levi in his heart as he became his search in the vast space of the space ring.
In the space ring, Ajax found various items that looked very majestic and high level, but he didn't focus on them since he doesn't want to privy much into Levi's items.
Although they were high-level ones, Ajax was able to say that they were not much of a use in this situation, and furthermore, there seemed some kind of restrictions on most of the items.
'Is it..is it....'
As he continued his search for more than a few minutes, he finally found a familiar stone, making him excited and shuttered.
'But what is another stone beside it?' Ajax calmed his excitement as he picked the upgrade stone and the stone beside it.
'Ding,
