"Are you mocking me?..." Arnold's mouth twitched. "Using my trick against me, are you kidding me?"

"Now you'll know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of your trick." Nathan and the others laughed in the corner. No one was alarmed because skeletal warriors were pretty common in the dungeons, specially because their level hardly ever went above the rank D.

Around 25 skeletal warriors, surrounded the [BONE BERSERKER]. Arnold knew the skeletal warriors would be weak and easy to handle, so he shot a bullet at one of them to test their strength. The bullet hit the skeleton who was standing nearest to him, in the head and the skeletal knight shattered upon impact.

Arnold's mouth twitched again. "I don't know whether I should be happy or mad, about your weak as* summons."

He then gave his summons the command to attack the skeletal warriors, and his summons immediately crushed their new and weak opponents, but before they could attack the Berserker, the bones of the fallen skeletal warriors started to vibrate.

"What the hell?" Arnold mumbled.

The bones of the fallen warriors soon started attaching themselves to the [BONE BERSERKER]. The Berserker started to heal itself and grew even bigger. Seeing this Arnold, started firing at him while his summons attacked the Berserker as well, in a hope to slow down the healing but it seemed like the Berserker was immune to all types of damage during the process. By the time the Berserker was done 'Evolving', he had recovered about 25% of his health back.

"This is so FRUSTRATING!" Arnold bellowed, "I really didn't want to use this but hell, you've pissed me off now!"

He conjured up two balls made of ice, one in each hand. Each of the balls were around twice the size of a basketball. A weird aura oozed out of them. Without any command, all of Arnold's summon stepped back. They fully knew the destructive power of Arnold's new and self created ability, after all they were the ones who had to endure the pain while Arnold was perfecting this ability. Without any warning, Arnold threw both of the balls at the Berserker. Since the Berserker was more like a giant now, the chances for Arnold to miss were very small. The balls managed to hit the Berserker in the head and the chest of the Berserker.

The balls of ice shattered upon impact, immobilising the Berserker. But that wasn't all, the moment the ice balls collided with the Berserker, flames erupted out of the icy balls. This was Arnold's self created ability, [FROST FLAME].

_________________

• [FROST FLAME] : (Active ability) A self created ability, allows the user to conjure up a ball of ice containing hellfire, which can be thrown at a target. When the balls successfully manages to hit the target, the target would get immobilised, and the hellfire would randomly inflict 1.5% - 2.0% of target's HP as true damage per second, for the next 10 seconds. The effect of this skill can be stacked. The duration for which the target is immobilised would be random.

Arnold knew he could create new blueprints if he had enough knowledge about them, thus he tried to make a new ability by combining the immobilising effect of his ice affinity and the damage inflicting capacity of his fire affinity into a single spell. It wasn't easy though, he had to perfectly balance the ratio of both of his affinities. Thus he combined the two of the affinities and formed the Frost-flame style.

If the fire affinity dominated the ratio then the damage would be more but the target won't get immobilised, on the other hand if the ice affinity dominated then the target would only get mobilised and no damage would be inflicted on the target. The only drawback this ability had, was the amount of mana consumed. At the moment Arnold could only use this skill for five times before his mana reserves got exhausted.

"What the hell is that ability?" Joshua asked everyone else.

"I don't know..." Nina mumbled.

Everyone was impressed as well as confused by the sudden appearance of Arnold's new explosive ability. They knew he was special since the Head of the family had invited him into the family, but no one knew about this creationist abilities.

"There's actually no limit to this guy's potential." Nathan smiled, "Looks like I'm not the only one who held back during our little fight."

He used the [FROST FLAME] ability once again and conjured two more balls of flaming ice, which emptied his mana gauge. But it was okay, as the Berserker health was dropping rapidly, thanks to the true damage of his new ability.

He threw the last of the balls at the Berserker who was already immobilised.

The Berserker was helpless, he couldn't do anything to protect himself from the true damage of Arnold's ability. It shrieked and howled in pain before succumbing to the flames, which kept burning even after his death. At this moment a notification popped on his interface.
