"Task has been successfully completed, master." Talos informed Arnold, "I've successfully obtained a new transformation."

"What are you waiting for then? Let's check out the abilities you got." Arnold instructed Talos.

"Yes master, activating transformation ability now." Talos replied as a loud humming sound echoed through the corridor. The body parts of Talos got reconfigured, and soon his appearance completely changed. It was like Jake had came back to life.

Kolt was flabbergasted, he personally knew many warriors who had shape-shifting abilities but they could only change into monsters and not into other humans, moreover, the 'thing' that transformed into Jake wasn't even a living being, it was a damn robot!

He looked at Arnold with mixed feelings. On one hand, they were alive thanks to him but on the other hand, he was a merciless demon, who would kill anyone who went against him. Moreover Arnold possessed way too many mysterious powers and abilities that he had never seen before. Kolt knew Arnold had creationist abilities as he wasn't the only one that had such ability, but then he had never seen someone who could build such lifelike robots who had the ability to change into living beings. Even after seeing so many abilities of Arnold, Kolt felt like he had only seen the tip of an iceberg.

'No wonder he's able to fight people who are way out of his league... what a monster'

"It's better than I expected it to be." Arnold smiled. He was carefully inspecting Talos' transformation for any discrepancies, but it was perfect. He definitely looked like Jake skylander, the transformation had managed to perfectly generate the clothes Jake was wearing. Now, only one question remained in Arnold's mind. He used the [PROBE] skill on Talos.

"YES!" Arnold exclaimed happily when he saw the ability, [ANIMATE DEAD] and opened the skill tab to see more information about the skill.

___

[ANIMATE DEAD] : (Active ability) The user controls the power of death and guides the soul of a deceased to reanimate it to do the user's bidding. However, the reanimated being will only be able to regain about 40%-70% of his/her original strength. This percentage is determined by the level and rank of the user and the deceased. This skill is only effective on organic targets.

[Number of summons controlled : 20]

[ Rank : S ]

[Mana cost : 1000/use]

[Cooldown : [none]]

___

"Only 20 huh... Do you wanna try it out?" Arnold asked Talos.

"I'll do as you please." Talos bowed down to him.

Arnold wanted to try it out right now and see how the ability worked, but since the ability only had a capacity to reanimate 20 people or monsters, he had to be careful while choosing who he should reanimate. Furthermore the system didn't provide him any information regarding how to increase the number is reanimated beings. He checked Talos' stats once again, but unlike him, Talos didn't had a mystic stat which would allow him to increase the number of the summons.

"I didn't know you had such strong creationist abilities, Arnold." Kolt gave a nervous smile to Arnold.

'Yeah, Kolt is still here. I better be careful not to let out too much information right now.' Arnold thought and said, "How's Azyriah?"

"She's just a bit tired I guess..." Kolt said, as he lifted Azyriah in his arms. "She used too much of her power."

"Tired huh? Here. Make her drink this she'll feel better, the battle isn't over yet. She'll need her strength." Arnold said, handing Kolt a small vial of recovery potion. It was a potion that recovered a small amount of mana as well as HP, since the amount recovered was quite small, the cost of this portion wasn't very high and Arnold could spare these potions.

"Wait... what is this?" Kolt asked because he had a feeling that he shouldn't blindly trust Arnold anymore.

"Think of it as an energy drink. Wait a minute, you think I'll poison her?"

"I never said that."

"Alright, alright." Arnold took out another vial out of his pocket and drank it in one go, "See, all good. If you still doubt me, don't give it to her, but at least take her out of here, she's like a sitting duck here."

"It's fine, Arnold." Kolt said after a while and laid her down before emptying the vial in her mouth. Soon the potion showed it's effect and Azyriah regained her consciousness.

"W...What happened? D..Did w...we win?" Azyriah mumbled, massaging her temple.

"Yeah, all thanks to Kolt." Arnold replied before Kolt could have said anything, but Azyriah wasn't listening to him anymore. She quickly got up to her feet and into battle stance.

"WHO THE HELL IS STANDING BEHIND YOU!" Azyriah bellowed when she saw Talos standing behind Arnold.

"Relax, Azyriah. I know it's hard believe but that's one of Arnold's robots." Kolt tried to ease Azyriah's mind.

"But... it looks so real." Azyriah said.

"I didn't wanted you to look at it but, if still you don't believe, just look there, his body is right th-" Kolt pointed in the direction where Jake's mangled body was, but the body wasn't there anymore, he looked at Arnold who simply shrugged his shoulders. of course, Arnold wouldn't tell them that he took Jake's body and stored it in the void so that he could use the body and blood at a later time.

"Can we chat some other time? This isn't over yet." Arnold said, "Do you know where the President and the others are?"

"Johnny and Aydan might have located them, but we don't really know. We went radio silent the moment this operation began." Kolt replied.

"Permission to speak, master?" Talos interrupted them.

"You know where they are, don't you?" Arnold smirked as Talos nodded. "Then let's give them a taste of their own medicine, shall we?"
