Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Aamon," Raven said to the orange haired demon, previously called Orange. "You shall be my daemon of strength and might, you now are my Indestructible Shield.

"Levi," Raven said to the demon girl with the green hair, previously called Green. "You shall be my daemon of trickery and stealth, you now are my Ghostly Assassin.

"And, Bel," Raven said to the Cyan haired demon, previously called Cyan. "You shall be my daemon of chaos and control, you now are my Dark Necromancer.

"My servants… Rise!" Instantly, a system message flashed through her mind.

[Notice.

[Naming Ritual has been completed.

[This naming Ritual has been blessed by The Mother Spirit, and The Crimson Monarch.

[Pilot has successfully named three demon lords, thus evolving them into a different race: daemons.

[Pilot has successfully created a rank One Star subordinate: Aamon, daemon of strength and might, the Indestructible Shield.

[Pilot has successfully created a rank One Star subordinate: Levi, daemon of trickery and stealth, the Ghostly Assassin.

[Pilot has successfully created a rank One Star subordinate: Bel, daemon of chaos and control, the Dark Necromancer.

[The three new subordinates have been automatically added to the Oasis.

[Commencing evolution…]

With that, blinding light covered their bodies, moments before dissipating into thin air.

The trio kneeled in front of Raven with smiles on their faces.

Aamon, even though kneeling, looked like a giant for how tall and big he has become.

His orange hair and matching eyes were left unchanged, yet a tattoo of a golden shield was weaved under his left eye, on his cheek. 

Levi\'s body was left, more or less, unchanged. Her eyes were as green as her long hair. But additionally, four beautiful bracelets of gold were plastered around her wrists and just above her ankles, one on each limb.

Bel seemed to get slightly taller. Just like the others, his original features were left unchanged. However, a golden tattoo of a skull was created on the back of his left palm.

[Notice. 

[Gifts are in order. Does Pilot give consent for-]

\'Do it,\' Raven interrupted.

[Giving out gifts…]

Waiting a few moments for each to choose their skills and match it to their own skill set, Raven noticed a new string of notifications.

[Successful. Successful. Successful.

[Sharing the skills: Plunder and Saint of Life with entity Aamon...

[Additional rewards can be gained due to the entity being a higher ranker. Absorbing the two skills and integrating a new one.

[Draining Shield: Any attack that is countered will be negated, losing its effect proportionally to the difference in power between the caster and the opponent. Additionally, the negated portion of the attack can be then launched as an attack of its own.

[...

[Sharing the skills: Stealth Master and The Elders\' Scrolls with entity Levi.

[Additional rewards can be gained due to the entity being a higher ranker. Absorbing the two skills and integrating a new one.

[Master of Craft: The caster is able to create any weapon as long as she has the blueprint in mind. Additionally, she is able to quickly master any weapon she touches, weather created by herself or a different being. 

[...

[Sharing the skills: Dominator and Summoner with entity Bel...

[Additional rewards can be gained due to the entity being a higher ranker. Absorbing the two skills and integrating a new one.

[Chaos Puppeteer: The caster is able to dominate and instantly kill an opponent of lower rank. Opponents that are killed this way are automatically revived as puppets that follow the caster\'s every command.

[This effect can also be applied to any strong being that is already dead with its soul intact, however, if its soul is too strong for the caster, the skill will not work.

[Lastly, puppets that are made this way are immortal and can regenerate infinitely, at the cost of mana, until the caster dismisses them. And they can be stored in the caster\'s shadow as well as summoned at any time.]

Receiving their gifts made their smiles even wider. Levi who was uncertain before had no more doubt in her mistress\'s powers whatsoever. Although something about the four bracelets around her limbs felt… contradictory to her beliefs.

\'Kay, how did they all gain a rank of Star One? Are they the same rank as Maeve who was named while using the skill Apprentice of the Primordial Light?\' Raven asked as she was confused. 

\'No,\' Kayla shook her head. \'Even though they have the same rank, you can clearly see that Maeve is closer to achieving rank Star Two.

\'If you want to go into the detail, you can look at it their stars\' composition:

\'Aamon: Hepta S;

\'Levi: Hexa S; 

\'Bel: Hexa S; and,

\'Maeve: Octa S.

\'So even if they are technically all Star One, there\'s a clear difference in powers.\'

\'I see,\' Raven though while shifting her attention to the four demons kneeling in front of her. "Alright, you have two minutes to ready up, we\'re going to fight Silver head on." Saying that, she disappeared from her spot.

"Maeve… I can see where you gained powers and confidence from," Levi said while looking Maeve in the eyes. "I only envy that you were named before me, thus gaining more power that enables you to serve our mistress better. But watch your steps, because I will surpass you very soon…"

"I look forward to that," Maeve smiled charmingly, making Levi blush, highlighting her surprise. "I will happily provide my help any time if you require it. I am aware of the competition, but I\'d rather see my kind mistress happy than anything.

"So if you\'re able to make her happier and protect those she loves, I shall grant you my full help and support, Levi."

"Idiot-" Levi muttered shyly, before disappearing from her spot. She needed to gather her troops after all. Not a second after, both Aamon and Bel were already gone.

Smiling, Maeve teleported outside of the castle to make sure her beasts were ready for the coming fight. \'I guess I can call my archdemons as well…\'

…

"Should I tell my mom or just leave quietly?" Raven wondered while standing at the entrance of the training hall. "But she can\'t know about Maya yet…"

Watching Maria fight against Keith with astonishing azure wings unfurled behind her, Raven clutched her heart as this made many emotions swirl around in her heart. \'These azure wings-\' 

Not being able to continue, she felt a touch on her shoulder, startling her.

As stressed as she was, Raven was instantly on guard as she almost cut the person\'s head in half with her golden mana slash. "!!!!!"

Quickly dismissing her attack Raven was greeted with Liz\'s tearful eyes. "You were going to cut me down?" She asked, shaking.

"Shhhh," Raven shushed her while taking her farther away from the training hall. "Why would you startle me like that!?"

*Sniff*

"I- I\'m sorry," Liz sniffed. "I didn\'t mean to! I even called your name many times, you were just distracted… I thought that maybe you needed a nudge but- maybe I was wrong, I\'m sorry!"
