Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

* ONLAP - The Awakening *

***

'Hm, I guess I did underestimate you, young soul weaver.' the dragon's deep voice rang in Draven's mind as he was surprised, almost shocked, that the young soul weaver's soul was so strong for evn him to manipulate.

But he didn't mind him. He was more concerned about the huge black hole coming his way.

'Sh*t,' he thought as he raised his brows, 'dude ain't messing around at all. Is it just the nature of this plant to be destroyed by a giant monster, or something?'

Above Draven, a huge knight clad in red armour stood with his matching broad sword and a silver white shield that looked as if it was made out of pearls. Just like the other massive monsters Draven had seen, the knight had a tail that protruded out of his own shadow instead of two legs.

Both sword and shield had the same crest engraved into them. A bleeding rose.

The knight's face was covered in a dark red full face helmet. The helmet made his covered face look more like that of a robot assassin than a proud knight. Inside the darkened eye pieces, two red rubies could be seen, resembling the knight's eyes.

Draven guessed that the white shield was a side effect of having the white dragon dwelling in his body, or rather his soul to be more accurate.

However, he didn't complain, the thing was so hot that it was boiling the air itself while some random white flames would generate in its vicinity and then disappear, with every passing second.

The black attack of the massive demonic monster was as silent as it was deadly. A trail of black purple glow could be seen behind it as it soared towards Draven and consumed everything in its path including air, pavement, and people. Literally everything in its way.

But, Draven had no plans of losing. The fight hadn't even started yet, after all.

Abiding by its master's will, the red knight raised his shield as blinding white light erupted out of it, making the world glitch in white as it tanked the black hole.

The black mass of energy was so powerful that it threatened consuming the shield whole, but on the other hand, the shield was as strong as it was hot. It could even melt energy, and use it fuel itself, adding to its ferocity. And that was exactly what had happened.

'Tch, that's no real black hole,' Draven thought to himself as he saw the demon's attack being consumed by the still starving fire, rather than the other way around.

'The real thing would leave no trail of light behind it as even light is usually consumed. That attack was just massive amounts of energy concentrated in one point that it almost replicated gravity, as it pulled everything towards its center, trying to compensate for the lack of matter.'

The demonic giant was so surprised by the prowess of the red knight that it forgot to followup with another attack.

'Well, that makes it my turn,' Draven said as a sadistic smile crept its way up to his face, 'although I don't quite understand the principles behind the demon's attack, I should be able to replicate it to some extent.'

"Here goes nothing!" he said as two massive auras flared around him, shaking the ground as fissures cracked their way through the whole city.

'I hope you don't mind me borrowing your energy, you dragon b*tch.' he said the white dragon in his mind, 'not that I give a f*ck.'

The dragon in his mind didn't reply as he was so shocked by how easily the kid had stolen his own energy. Usually, even sharing the energy with consent would be so difficult that most would just force a contract or a seal that would basically give the dragon the choice of either helping out or dying, much like the seal the little girl had.

In that case, he couldn't do anything to the little princess as her soul was strong enough on its own, but with the contract, he couldn't even try to consume it as her death is his.

Yet, the kid had just STOLEN the energy without breaking a sweat. 'Seems like I haven't seen everything in this life yet,' the dragon amused himself with the thought.

The knight's sword and shield both resonated with auras that matched Draven's. Also, both crests glowed ominous red and radiant white, respectively.

Radiant light formed a huge orb that resembled a small sun in front of the shield. Inside of it, one could see white flames swaying calmly, waiting for their chance to 'shine'.

Its heat was so great that the ground in its vicinity started to melt and evaporate, rather than forming lava.

If it wasn't for the energy barrier Draven had covered the dark knights and the little princess with, they would've been cooked alive.

Of course, the barrier couldn't hide their shocked expressions. But Draven was so busy to notice anyway.

A similar orb that was dyed ominous red was generated on the tip of the broad sword as it pulsed with energy that sent vibrations clashing in the atmosphere. Inside of it, multiple sonic storms could be seen brewing violently.

Two orbs floated in the air; one that was a calm calamity, and a second that was a fierce storm.

Obeying their master's wishes, the two started to get and closer to eachother. Furrowing his brows, Draven concentrated and willed the two to combine.

It wasn't something that would form a true black hole, but the patience of the radiant flames and the violence of the sonic storm was bound to be a sight to behold.

Draven wasn't just throwing his chance blindly though, since he knew that fire would usually depend on oxygen to fuel itself, and as a matter of fact, specific sound wavelengths were like a catalyst that would concentrate oxygen through air vibrations.

The combination of both was bound to strengthen the fire. (AN: true story, some wavelengths do indeed strengthen or extinguish fire as it can concentrate or spread the oxygen in the air.)

Yet, what he hadn't took into account was that the white flame, unlike natural fire that needed oxygen, only depended on energy for its fuel.

At the same time, the red sonic storm, unlike natural sound wavelengths, its vibrations could manipulate energy and it can even go as far and strengthen it a few times over, as the source of its vigor was red mystic energy after all.

Seeing that luck had favoured him this time, a determined smile filled Draven's face.

As the two orbs combined, the heat rose up so much that the space barrier itself had cracked, making the world look like a cracked TV screen.

The resulting orb wasn't of black nor pink, but rather the two uncombined colours that swirled around in the combined orb, as if it was some type of mystic liquid.

Sending the powerful mystic orb towards the demonic monster who wasn't static either, as it had already recovered from its shock and formed a couple of dark energy barriers.

Alas, it wasn't enough.

The charging orb exploded in a wave of mystic fire that consumed all, literally.

Draven was scared sh*tless that his attack would backfire and destroy the whole planet, much like what had happened before where the dragon had killed him and destroyed the planet.

'There is no way I'm dying 18 times!" he yelled in his mind as countless energy barriers formed around him and the group of knights.

Many others popped around the panicked demonic beast in a way that whatever power the attack would generate, it would stay contained and directed at it.

BOOO-SSSSSSSS!!!!!

The party couldn't see, only imagine, the sight of the attack as everything looked white to them. Even sound couldn't reach their ears as it was way above what their sensory system is able of perceiving. All they could hear was the deafening tinnitus in their ears.

Behind the barriers and the blinding light where no one could see and only Draven could sense as his own energy was drenching the place, the attack had destroyed the planet along with the demon as the barriers around it couldn't contain the explosion nor the heat.

Only the barriers around the group had lasted enough for them to survive as they were so dense and constantly fueled with Draven's mystic energy.

'Well, f*ck! That wasn't part of the plan.' he thought to himself. 'But we survived?'

But just as he had finished the thought, time stopped as Draven felt two soft arms wrap around him in a warm embrace, as a feminine body touched his armoured back.

Time had stopped, not only in his mind, but the knights and little princess were frozen in their previous states.

Draven didn't know why, but he instantly removed his dark armour, which left him with his causal shorts and hoodie that he didn't know how he had on.

Resting her chin over his shoulder, the young woman's long shiny blue hair caressed his cheeks as she smiled warmly.

He couldn't see her azure eyes, but he could sense them.

Draven was so shocked by the sensation that he didn't utter a word or move a muscle, not even his diaphragm.

"You still destroyed the planet anyway, huh?" The woman spoke sarcastically with such familiar voice that Draven's brain seemed to fire every neural signal at once. He was surprised he didn't convulse under her touch.

Noticing his tense muscles, the woman spoke again.

"Miss me this much, dear? hehehe" she sincerely chuckled with such grace that he could uncontrollably feel his mouth move on its own.

"Mom...."
