Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Chapter 268 - Feathery Skies Part 2

Suddenly, cheers were heard everywhere! Although no one knew what she was doing, they all had full faith in Raven!

"Scott, what the heck are we waiting for?" A General sent a message to Scott via the bracelet on his wrist.

"Oh, General Vlad doesn't trust the Commanding General?" Scott asked, amused. "I know you had some minor issues with her, but you know-"

"Don't twist my words!" General Vlad interrupted. "It wasn't my intent!"

"Then what was your intent?" He asked.

"Err, I just want to fight and kill angels you know…" General Vlad seemed embarrassed about what he was about to say next. "Do you think she'll kill them all in one go? If that happens, what the heck do we do with ourselves? We've been waiting here for a few days while preparing everyone, you know!"

"Hahahaha!" Scott suddenly chuckled. "You don't have to be concerned in that regard, we'll have our own share, don't stress about it!"

With that being said, Scott himself felt that General Vlad's concerns were well placed.

Although Raven was somewhere at the center of Canada, reports have been made about the golden light and moving shadows from places like Russia and China. This alone is enough proof that Raven's next move will cover the entire globe!

These thoughts were circulating around and soon, everyone had even more admiration for their Commanding General's unfathomable powers!

While everyone was clamouring about all sorts of stuff, Raven herself was simply solidifying her spell while looking up at the sky and waiting like a hunter waiting for its naive prey to fall into the trap.

Although the angels were white-feathered, there were simply too many of them and that made it so that even light could not even pass through them!

Soon, the angels started getting closer and closer. And soon, the white sky turned grey. And not much after, the grey sky turned into darkness. 

Additionally, the closer they get, the more their aura became apparent. And to everyone's surprise, they were way more powerful than everyone had expected!

Not only that, but even their simple presence made it so that radio signals and electricity were lost all around! This made everyone thankful for the bracelets on their wrists!

Also, if it wasn't for Raven's golden light illuminating the sky, it would be impossible to tell directions for how dark it would have gotten!

Everyone was suddenly anxious. Their Commanding General hasn't made her move yet, but no one dared move.

"Hey Vlad," An old voice suddenly sounded from General Vlad's bracelet.

"Meng?" General Vlad recognized the voice as being the Chinese General, General Meng!

"I may be wrong but…" he hesitated for a few seconds before proceeding in a stressed voice. "Why does it look like every single angel is Star One?" 

"Oh, so it wasn't just me…" General Vlad swallowed loudly. He had first thought it was just his own illusion, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Similar to the two generals, many others had the same conversations.

However, after a short period of stress, they all decided to wait for their Commanding General to issue commands.

After all, the golden light was still present, making everyone's hearts at ease and indicating that Raven is still here and simply waiting for the right time to make her move.

And… they didn't need to wait for long, the right time came quickly!

Slowly, yet somehow seemingly as quick as lightning, the golden rays of light that were forming a new horizon started to 'float' upwards!

This made the already spectacular sight even more outstanding! Everyone watched with clenched fists and tense expressions as the golden horizon submerged the invading angels.

Not long after, the angels started coming through the golden blockade. Everyone felt their heart shatter for a second, thinking that Raven's plan had failed, but they quickly realized that they were too naive. After all, it was the golden light that went upwards first, meaning this is all part of the plan!

With that being said, after such a large and intense light appeared behind the angels, their peculiar appearance became slowly visible to the crowds.

Contrary to the common belief of many humans, the angels were not some human looking creatures with beautiful white wings… no!

I'm fact, many of them were not even humanoids! But with that being said, the majority did indeed take on a body build that was similar to humans.

However, the similarity stopped with their two arms and two feets, everything else was different! 

Most of the angels that were seen were entirely covered in white feathers that made them akin to doves taken on humanoid shapes. And… that was rather creepy, to say the least.

But the ugliness of the angels didn't stop there; many of them didn't even have normal human looking faces, but they looked like a mix of some weird alien heads that were also covered in white feathers. 

Many angels had more than simply two eyes, and they were all shining red, with no pupils or even scleras!

Above all of that, they didn't have a fixed body size amongst them. Angels seemed to differ in that department rather widely; the smallest looked as tiny as a doll, and the largest looked as huge as a small mountain. But the number of the extreme cases were the smallest across the board, making the human sized ones the most dominant!

"Are those the so-called beautiful creatures of the heavens?" One soldier had an ugly and disappointed expression across her face. "I can't believe I kept calling my cute daughter an… an angel… that's just disturbing!"

"Don't blame yourself," her friend slapped her on the shoulder in an encouraging manner. "I used to call my wife that…"

"Maybe those are not the real angels?" Another soldier asked, hopeful. 

"Soldiers, focus!" A Commander shouted as the chatter got louder. "What does it matter what they look like? They'll end up as minced meat anyway!"

Realizing this, many people cheered up. 

"""Ma'am, yes ma'am!"""
