Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Looking through the Status Pages of her two subordinates, Raven was amazed at their various skills.

"So each of them have at least two Ultra Skills," she muttered. "Hm… I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset with this…"

"Maybe both?" Kayla suggested. "They're your subordinates so it's fine if they're strong. They can protect you better, you know." 

*Sigh*

"Hm, I guess you're right…" Raven said with a sigh. "Also, while looking into the details of their skills, it becomes apparent that they each have an Ultra Skill that matches their sin, and another that matches the role I gave them.

"Doesn't that mean that I have actually given them an Ultra Skill? Why can't I have one for myself!?" She asked, almost sad.

"Well, yes you kinda gave them the skill," Kayla said. "You caused them to undergo an entire evolution, and since you were blessed by Gaia here, it's only natural!" She said while smacking the little fairy on the back, playfully. 

"But you have to remember that they were stronger than you were to start with, remember that Red was higher than a triple S rank to start with, since you could only see question marks previously. You'll get your ultra skills once you're as string as them!" Kayla shrugged.

"I see… and err, do you think I can get into the details of each skill?" While thinking that, Raven tried to command the system, and it worked!

Reading through the skills' details, she couldn't help but widen her eyes at how broken they were. 

"Oh, so Maeve is more dominant in charming her opponents into submission. Her strongest set of skills seem to be centered around controlling nature in general, as well as the minds of her opponents." Raven said out loud. 

"She's the Sin of Lust after all," Gaia giggled loudly. 

"What's up Rave? Why the red face?" Kayla teased.

*Cough*

"Ahem! So, anyhow… I will choose to believe it's something different than what you dirty ones are suggesting," Raven took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. "Hm, so as for Abbadon…

"Abbadon is more specialised in just… killing," Raven said, "most of his skills are centered around using his corrosive aura and destroying his opponents, turning them to ashes and stuff.

"Additionally, the skill he gained from his evolution allows him to banish weaker opponents into the void, or steal the life force of the stronger ones to strengthen his own… oh he can do the same for mana."

"Yeah he's a good executioner alright," Kayla muttered and Gaia nodded.

"Oh by the way, what's that skill they both have?" Raven asked before looking into the skill called "True Form Unleashed".

[True Form Unleashed: a skill that allows the caster to strengthen their body and mind so that they can withstand the use of their full power.

[Once unleashed, the caster changes form into their true nature that allows for the most efficient mana and skill use. However, caster may simply unleash their true power, rather than their true form.

[Lastly, for Pilot's subordinates that are both daemons, they would be able to unleash their Daemon form and use Daemon magic, etc.]

Whistle~ 

Raven whistled after hearing that. "It doesn't state the amount of power increase, which makes this kinda tricky, but the thought of them getting even stronger is mind blowing…"

"Enough about your subordinates," Gaia said. "What else did you get out of that evolution that you want to test now?"

"Hm, I got some resistances which should come in handy in fights," she replied after some thoughts. "And I also got Oasis, and another new skill! Mana Elementalist!"

Thinking about it, she knew that in simple terms, it meant that she'd be able to control any element that was created by her mana.

"Hm…" Raven then understood that she had no idea of how to create elements from her mana. "This may be a little bit trickier than what I've thought… however, I have some skills that may help!" She grinned while activating her Ultimate+ skill: Sorcerer of Dark Magic.

A dark aura surrounded her body and pulsed with power. Her hair took a hint of a darker light. Snapping her fingers, dark fire erupted in the air. 

'So this is the result of Flammable Void…' she observed using her True Sight and Kayla's Appraisal. 'Hm…' 

After a few minutes of a staring contest between her and the burning black torch floating above her open palm, Raven smiled. 'So it's mainly tiny void particles that increase the friction in the air, and naturally cause heat. 

'Additionally, when the skill is active, the void particles are moving and vibrating at extremely high velocities.

'This contributes to both stability and heat! So neat…' she thought with a smile while trying to replicate the same outcome using her skill Mana Elementalist.

Creating tiny mana orbs in the air, she caused them to vibrate in a similar manner to what she has observed so far. 

[Mana Elementalist has gained control over fire.]

A system message flashed in her mind the moment the brilliant red torch was lit above her open palm. 

Smiling, she moved on to other elements. After about two hours, she took a break to stretch her body.

"Ahhh! This is harder than I thought, but hey I'm making some good progress," she grinned while viewing her stat for the Unique Skill.

[Mana Elementalist: Once acquired, the elements can be created in suboptimal conditions. Current usable elements: Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Void, and Cryo.]

The method behind each was trickier than the last and that's why she had decided to take a break.

"So each element has a trick to it," Raven muttered. "Pyro is just forcing particles into moving quickly to cause friction and, consequently, heat.

"Hydro is just condensing the water vapour in the air using a catalyst point of attraction such as a single mana particle that lacks stability.

"Electro… hm, I have mainly cheated that by using my Dark Lightning… but I could imagine the true way of forming electricity from mana would be by manipulating the charges of electrons in the air.

"Void was again cheated by using my skill, Ruler of the Void. Truth be told, that skill is really powerful and I'm highly proficient in its use.

"Lastly, cryo is simply created by removing heat from a specific area… hm, while overall I'm still lacking, I think further analysis of this would help me master all elements, what do you say?" She asked while looking at Gaia who was yawning and Kayla who smiled with a nod.

"Huh, you were talking to me?" Gaia asked lazily. Snapping her fingers, all possible elements started swirling around in front of her open palm.

"Oh, I totally forgot that you're the ultimate elementalist… being who you are and all…" Raven smiled. "Say Gaia, how about you give me a hand?" She asked while holding onto her tiny wings.

Watching Raven's mouth curving into a sadistic smile, Gaia swallowed loudly.

Suddenly, a few shadows could be seen rising from the ground near the trio.

"Lady Raven," a familiar voice called. "We're back."

Note: Just a heads up, the upload schedule might get a little shaky for April, because of university exams and other reasons.

Additionally, I'm thinking of 'maybe' trying the Spirity Writing thingy. If that happens, I will still be uploading daily for this book, but maybe less chapters etc. The idea is that I'll force myself to release the 3 'promised books' faster. Also, this would probably bring in some more readers here.

The book title for the contest will be "Infinity: Rising of the Guardian Angels", or something similar, and as you've already guessed, this will be a story that is set in the same universe with the same characters, but different settings. (This will be Book number 3, while book number 2 must be released after this one 'IRSW' since they're more related).

For the new book, you may see Raven, but she will not be the main character, instead it will be someone she cares about... I'll make sure to let you know whether I end up participating or not.. (These are just speculations after all).
