Davis's eerie smile flourished as he wondered how to sneak out. It was a forced, wry smile because he didn't know how to.
The truth was, he had no idea where his women were because he didn't share a soul connection with Nadia anymore, as the Transitory Beast Taming Pact was not working properly. Perhaps, it was better to say that they still shared a soul connection but couldn't sense each other's position. The shelter was there, and Nadia could enter and chill inside his soul sea, but they couldn't feel the connection with each other unless they got at a really close range, like a dozen or so meters.
This was a mystery that both of them didn't understand but still let it be, thinking that it would solve itself as the shelter was indeed undergoing abstruse changes as it was covered by a hazy atmosphere, neither one of life or death, so could only assume it to be one of karmic nature.
