Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

*Hoang - Run Back To You (feat. Alisa) *

\'Phew, this is a success for me!\' she cheered in her mind. \'Alright, now to show off my achievements with Parallel Processing and Thought Acceleration during my spare time!\' she thought happily as a wide smile appeared on her face.

"O\' Great and Mighty One, what do you have to offer?" Liz chuckled happily. Maria and Axane didn\'t hold back their laughter.

"Hehe, come here give me your hand!" Kayla ordered Liz as she closed her eyes and cupped her hands together.

As Liz stood up from her spot and approached Kayla in Maria\'s lap, she watched as purple mana engulfed the area in front of her while sparking circuits of silver swirled inside. 

The aura kept on condensing until a purple bracelet with the same silver circuit was created.

"Phew," Kayla exhaled loudly even though her body didn\'t need oxygen. "Here, put that on!" 

Abiding by Kayla\'s order, Liz extended her hand towards the bracelet, but before she could touch it, the bracelet itself jumped onto her wrist and formed a tight fit around it.

Liz was surprised that she would have screamed loudly if she was able to speak, but she instead just froze out of fear. 

"Haha, it\'s alright don\'t panic," Kayla reassured. "It won\'t hurt you."

"Hm, so what is it?" Raven asked as she didn\'t know. The bracelet looked different from her teleportation or translation bracelets.

"Hehe, this is my latest creation, I don\'t have a name yet, but basically, this bracelet combines the most basic skills for survival in the Demon Plane.

"It is meant to deal with every problem you might encounter!" Kayla was so excited while explaining. "So to start with, it contains a dimensional storage that is able to store clothes, food, and other stuff.

"The storage is protected by mana so anything inside will be insulated in space meaning it will not go bad and its temperature won\'t change.

"In addition, since we\'re going to the Demon Plane, I thought that we need to be able to understand the Demonic tongue, so I\'ve added a translation function that is able to make you understand their language and even speak it yourself!

"Not only that, but it also has an attachable ear piece that enables communication via mana. While this is good and all, it may not work properly if you were to stand in an area that is filed to the brim with mana, so be careful.

"Lastly, the bracelet has the ability to produce three anchors that are used as teleportation nodes. Meaning that if you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation, you just teleport away to one of those three nodes that can be set in different locations." Kayla finished proudly. "So what do you think?"

"Pretty impressive!!" Aella suddenly broke the silence of the awed expressions. "That\'s so good!! This must equal a fortune if you were to sell it!"

"It looks so cool and stylish too!" Liz said with a smile. "Hehe, I expected nothing less from you, Kay!"

"Hehe!" Kayla chuckled, feeling proud of herself. "What do you think, Raven?" She asked since she was more interested in hearing her opinion.

Looking at her with a tilted head, Raven shrugged. "Hm, if anyone else had came up with it, I\'d be impressed. But for you, this is the norm, I only expect great things from you, Kay!" She smiled sincerely.

To strangers, this may have seemed like a half-hearted compliment or even a harsh thing to say, but for the group, they knew it wasn\'t.

Kayla, who understood that Raven was complimenting her everything and beyond the bracelet production, jumped up from her spot and squeezed her tight. "Hehe, thank you Rave, I really appreciate it!"

***

Making bracelets for everyone was rather easy and quick. After that, everyone including Zeru, Aella, Maria, and Axane were given a couple of hours to bring whatever they needed with them.

Raven had decided to bring Axane with them since Maria was coming anyway. Plus, she doubted that Axane would have accepted anything other than a yes.

"Ian and… what\'s your name again?" Raven asked while looking at the chibi kid-doll in the white suit. He was extremely tired from the torture he\'s been through and was barely able to lift his eyelids to open his eyes.

"I believe he had told me his name was Raykun," Liz said weakly. She was still unable to forgive herself or Raykun for what they\'ve done to Raven.

"Hm, Liz, why would you want to bring him with you?" She asked while maintaining her calmness this time.

"Err, he… he\'s not so bad… he only wants to serve me as his mistress, and he\'s been helping me whenever you leave my room.

"I think that he was just following my orders or something similar when I was under control and did what I did…" she answered.

Looking at him in his state as black matter was still dripping from his tiny body, Raven wanted to feel bad for him, but still couldn\'t.

*Sigh*

"Ok, he\'ll be coming with us if that\'s your wish," Raven said as Liz opened her mouth in surprise. "However, the moment I feel he\'s plotting something behind my back, he\'ll instantly be disintegrated, am I making myself clear?" To her question, both Liz and Raykun nodded, the latter at least tried but still failed for how tried he was. 

"Ok, Liz please go prepare yourself then." Nodding again, she left with Raykun.

"As for you Ian, what purpose do you have with coming with us?" Raven asked.

"Hm, nothing in particular, as I\'ve mentioned before, I won\'t be participating in fights, I\'ll merely be observing." He answered calmly.

"I see. In that case, you won\'t need the bracelet, correct?" She asked.

"I would rather have it just in case, if that\'s possible. Also, it would help me understand the situation whenever demons speak their language." 

"Alright," she said tiredly, I\'ll ask Kayla to make you one later.

Ian nodded and walked away following Liz. He didn\'t have anything in particular that he wanted to bring with him anyway. He didn\'t even have another set of clothes, which was particularly sad for Raven.

\'Wait, this reminds me of Liz\'s story….\' Raven thought, \'She had first killed herself in her own house… will she get her clothes from there?

\'I guess I\'ll go shopping for both of them. But for Ian in particular, I\'ll need to buy him something and then store it in the bracelet before giving it to him,\' Raven thought to Kayla who nodded. \'Even though he looks as blank as a robot, the kid is still a living being that requires care, food, and shelter…

\'And the same can be said for Liz, in a way, she\'s just as broken as me…\'

\'Wait, Rave… um, Axane and Maria need their clothes from the mansion so…\' Kayla said as Raven suddenly shuddered understanding. 

The thought of them entering the mansion and being bombarded with emotions all over again was not pleasant, to say the least.

Before being told, purple mana materialised as it was mixed in the familiar silver circuits. Moments later, three avatars were created and launched with different objectives.

One was for Liz, the other was Ian, and the last one was for Axane and Maria.

Aella and Zeru didn\'t need any help with gathering their stuff so they were left alone.

Many thoughts crossed Raven\'s mind but she didn\'t know what to make of them, so she decided to ignore them and proceed towards her next objective.
