Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

* Grandson - Blood // Water *

***

"Whahaha!", Her voice echoed in the almost empty warehouse, "I can't believe the fearless Wraith is only a D ranker! But, it all makes sense now, you probably only kill normal powerless people! This is the perfect opportunity. Since the incident, myself and Black Silver practiced every day to prepare for this moment, and we've already climbed up the ranks and reached rank C. Even though we're still at the very low side of the scale, two C rankers against a D ranker is like two elephant crushing a single bug!"

Lady Luck was ecstatic! She could finally overcome her fears and take revenge.

Playthings have no place among the apex predators, after all.

"It's payback time!" she shouted as a maniacal smile curved her lips up, uncovering her now extended fangs.

With Black Silver's overconfidence, he threw four small poisoned daggers from each hand towards Wraith.

'Even if he manages to block some of the daggers by a miracle, he can't stop all of them. And with the deadly poison coating them, he's as good as dead!"

Brimming with joy, Black Silver didn't even bother with checking the results of his work, he only turned to walk towards his Lady.

'Any moment now! no, now! Huh? why can't I hear his screams? Have I gone deaf? I should at least hear the sound if the daggers hitting something!'

He turned around in an instant and stared at his daggers that were now floating midair.

'Huh? What the f*ck? Did I accidentally stop time?'

Quickly, he realised that his daggers were the only thing that has stopped. Lady Luck was still charging towards Wraith at full speed, beast form already activated.

His own powers were to perform long distance teleportation, which enables him to move instantaneously, from one marked point in space to the other.

Lady Luck on the other hand, wasn't called the Beast Queen for nothing.

She could transform herself into any beast of her choice, as long as she has the energy to support her transformation.

At the moment, she was a creature that resembled a hawk woman.

With a razor sharp beak and shining talons, she was practically flying towards her pray preparing to tear him apart, along with his armour.

"Tch", Draven, seeing that, only clicked his tongue in annoyance, and raised his open palm in front of him to intercept the crazy charging bullet that's heading his way.

'He thinks his armour is strong enough to stop me? A C ranker? Hahahaha', Lady Luck laughed her a*s off the moment she saw his move.

She was brimming with confidence like she's never been.

CRACK! KUFF!!

The moment of the impact lasted hours in Lady Luck's vision as she was able to see everything in slow motion, from the shock.

Her knife like talons hit Wraith's extended hand, but it didn't cut through.

His hand smashed hers, as if a rocketship crashing against the moon. Her talons being the rocketship.

In a span of a moment, she watched with awe and fear as her hand was turned into a bloody mess.

Not only that, but her arm turned in an natural angle producing the most disgusting crack sound that she's ever heard.

Her shoulder was dislocated, and since she couldn't stop her momentum, she did a 360, about seven times in a raw, midair and on the floor, spraying blood all over the place, until friction had stopped her body from scraping the concrete floor.

Pain and shock could be heard from her incoherent screams.

"Che, idiot", Draven wasn't happy about what she did to herself, he didn't want her dead, not just yet anyway.

Letting the floating daggers rest on the floor, he went to Lady Luck and applied a healing Ruler's Touch.

Black Silver having waking up from his shocked state, rushed forward to his lady, "filthy hands off of her you b*stard!"

Being in a bad mood already, Draven wasn't happy for the idiot trying to interfere in his attempt to save Lady Luck's life.

Without stopping the healing process, he glanced at the charging Black Silver and applied his full killing intent, "Die!" he said in a calm yet earth shaking voice.

Upon his gaze, Black Silver felt like thousands of razor sharp glass shards have stopped time to penetrat his very own soul.

His knees buckled under his own weight.

His brain couldn't bear the pain of being squashed under the pressure of that voice.

His lungs stoped taking in air, giving up on the pointless attempt to fuel oxygen to a dead body.

His heart had already stopped beating the moment he hit the floor and kept crashing towards the wall.

"Uhm", nodding, Draven was happy about the results.

"Now stay down", he whispered to the dead body and went back to healing Lady Luck.

---------------------------

Their device wasn't broken, nor mistaken.

Draven's energy was the same as that of a low D ranker.

A C ranker would usually wipe the floor with a D ranker, even if they were at the top of D rank.

Yet, what Black Silver and Lady Luck didn't know was that, unlike other D rankers, Draven could control the energy inside of his body, and around him.

Concentrating his body energy at one point is pretty risky since a hit to the wrong spot could be fatal.

But since they both were underestimating his powers, and him practicing almost everyday, has made him confident enough to use that trick.

Infusing almost all of his energy to his hand had made it harder than steel.

Especially, since he'd also infused some energy with his feet to brace for the impact.

UHAGH *cough* *cough*

Of course he wasn't dumb to heal Lady Luck fully.

Coughing blood and looking around her, hoping she was dreaming, she accidentally made eye contact with Wraith who shattered every piece of false hope she had.

"Had a good nap?" Draven said with a sarcastic tone, yet, his eyes were anything but.

"NOOO, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, I-"

Flaring some of his red threating aura, he cut her short while watching her like a fly stuck in an insect trap.

His aura invaded her very soul, almost crushing it.

She started to sob like a small girl, even giving in on her bladder.

"Quiet!", again, his voice wasn't loud, but rather calm.

All of a sudden, the pressure against her body stopped.

Looking up, she saw Wraith with a dumb look on his face, scraching the back of his head.

"Whoops! Hehe, seems like I lost myself in the moment".

His innocent face, along with his warm childish voice and figure almost made her think she was still dreaming.

Almost.

"Eh?"

"Don't worry I'm not mad at you!" he said trying to calm her down after seeing her frightened expression.

"You know, after everything you did to me, I should be mad or at least upset, yet I can't be", he said shaking his head.

"After all, it's only because of you that I've met Maya and Maria. They're the best people ever!"

His blushing kind face took Lady Luck by surprise, she started to even feel warm and kind of fuzzy.

"You're not?" she asked, unsure of what had just happened, "why did you attack us then?"

"Well, you charged at me, talons first" his figure gave off the feeling of a silly kid that's broken his mom's rare vase.

"You were just trying to defend yourself?" her voice was cracking at that moment.

Cursing herself for attacking him first, not hearing what he wanted to say.

That is, until she realised that he'd activated his killing intent first, the moment they saw him.

"But you-" she tried to question him about why he'd done that, but he cut her off.

"I'm not mad about whatever you've done to me", he repeated with his friendly voice, "but I can never forgive you for what you've done to Maya".

She thought that the second sentence had been spoken by someone else, that cold voice that would give the grim reaper a shiver down his spine.

Yet, his deadly gaze only confirmed that it's only him talking.

"Shall we have some fun?" his sadistic smile made her almost faint.

At that moment, she was sure that she's forsaken her life the moment she'd accepted, or rather, taken the unconscious boy from the dead body of Harley the scout, three years ago.
