Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Why would I be uncomfortable?" The first voice asked in response. "Only some puppets have died, do you care that much about them, Raphael?"

"Obviously not," Raphael shrugged, causing her plushy silver-white short hair to bounce with her move. She really didn't care how many of her angel soldiers die, they're expendable after all. "But we now have an enemy in our ranks, you've basically increased our workload…"

"That's okay, I've already sent someone to take care of her, just sit tight." The other voice answered, obviously knowing exactly who the intruder was.

"No, don't tell them to 'take care of her', tell them to capture her."

"Oh, why is that?" 

"Uriel, do I need to remind you that this is my mission? You tagged along just because you begged the Supreme One… I didn't forget that," Raphael didn't sound happy. "But did you forget that I am the one in charge here? You do as I say." 

"Ugh, whatever, I'll go kill the intruder!" Uriel didn't seem to want to hear her at all.

"Uriel!" Raphael frowned. "Why do you sound desperate to kill this intruder?" Intentionally or not, a suspicious gaze left Raphael's bright eyes. 

"Don't be ridiculous!" Uriel quickly tried to refute. "This is just a human nobody who intruded this far. I simply wish to eliminate any danger she may cause, that's all. I'll go!"

"No!" Raphael said firmly. She could not help but feel that something was amiss with Uriel. 

*Sigh"

Shaking her head with a sigh, Raphael looked at Uriel one more time. "Forget it, she's just a human intruder as you said. Just let that person you sent take care of her properly, it's not worth arguing about."

"That's what I said!" Uriel smiled from ear to ear and quietly sat down near Raphael.

Meanwhile, the shadowy Dark Krakens kept on traversing the void with the sole goal of eradicating angel soldiers.

It's worth mentioning that their numbers have not decreased since the start of the attack, even though some of them have been forcefully dispelled by angel attacks. Instead, Raven and her clones kept on summoning them rapidly.

Right now, more than fifty Dark Krakens are sweeping the void and swallowing angel soldiers!

"Damn it, they don't stop coming!" Raven complained with a frown. She has caused the deaths of more than ten thousand angel soldiers, yet their numbers didn't seem to be affected at all! 

With that being said, many countries on Earth have reported that the pressure has substantially decreased on their front lines. 

Although they didn't know what exactly happened, they reported to Kayla that the angel support seems to have been cut off.

After hearing from her that this was their Commanding General's move, they seemed excited. Some people seemed to be able to see the end of the invasion already.

On the contrary, the Generals who received Kayla's warning were on high alert. They were instructed to prepare for an increase in the angel soldiers' numbers and ranks!

To cover up and not shatter the people's hope, the Generals were informed to tell everyone that their Commanding General's means to only act as a scout and she will not engage in unneeded fights. In other words, they should expect the pressure to return soon!

Hearing that, many people would only sigh helplessly, but none lost their hope. Instead, everyone appreciated the short break granted to them by their Commanding General.

"Rave!" Kayla said suddenly, sounding grim. 

"Uhm, I feel it too…" Raven answered quietly.

An extremely powerful aura was getting closer to them, and it didn't appear to be friendly!

Not half a second later, a figure ghostly appeared in front of Raven who suddenly felt cold all over. The feeling was extremely weird and uncomfortable. 

"Hm, a mere human dares to infiltrate our ranks?" A cold voice left the figure's mouth as two radiant white wings spread behind his muscular back.

An angel! Unlike the rest of what the Terran Army was facing, this angel seemed to be what humans would think of when someone mentioned an angel; a handsome human figure, with two beautiful white wings.

However, strangely enough, this angel did not quickly attack nor did he spread his powerful aura to threaten Raven. 

With that being said, the passive feeling from being in his presence made her skin tighten and her blood run amok inside her veins. She instinctively knew that she would instantly die if this person breathed hard enough!

'What a disgusting feeling…' Raven thought to herself. She couldn't help but hate herself for being weak.

"Who are you?" She asked in a calm manner, contrary to her state of heart.

"I am Lady Uriel's loyal servant," the figure said before adopting an unexpectedly inappropriate expression. "And I am here by her order to 'take good care of you'!"

Saying that, he glanced up and down at Raven's delicate body, in a perverted manner. Although she was wearing Kayla's Cyber Armour, she strangely felt so… exposed.

She didn't like this feeling. No, it's better to say that she despised this feeling!

"Oh, is that so?" Suddenly, Raven's aura got chilly as her face turned indifferent, contrary to what one might think.

"Ho~ you don't seem upset," Uriel's angel contemplated, seeing Raven's indifferent expression. "My Lady told me that you are into this stuff and encouraged me to 'improvise'. It seems that I need to work harder. Otherwise, I would be unsuccessful in getting your blood pumping, huh?"

Raven suddenly raised her eyebrows, feeling that this angel had suddenly revealed something important.

"It seems that your Lady is knowledgeable…" Raven was extremely suspicious.

Although Raven was by no means into whatever he was mentioning, she did indeed have a dark past. Back then, it was all Lady Luck's fault. When she was Draven, she was kidnapped and 'mistreated' by everyone at her brothel.

But this doesn't explain how this 'Lady Uriel' knew about this.

"Of course, Lady Uriel is the most knowledgeable of the Seraphim!" He sounded extremely proud.
