58 Drone (2/2)

As the three finish their plan, Tao came running to Zatiel and the symbols in his stomach glowed as he stood before him and opened his mouth. The black orb appears again but this time instead of swallowing everything it spits a 3-meter tall egg of grey color.

The small dog put himself beside the egg and start to move his tail from one side to the other and by his expression, it seems as if he wanted to be congratulated for a good job.

Neither one of the three knew how to react, even Zatiel whit his vast knowledge was caught unaware by the weird scene of a dog barely 40 centimeters long throwing up an egg almost 10 times his size and looking at him with a prideful face and the expression a small child will make when they want their parents to praise them.

But still, after a moment he got himself together and pick up Tao before rubbing his ears and careers him making the animal move his tail with more strength and start to fall sleep.

Zatiel passes Tao to Ezequiel, before closing to the giant egg and using his consciousness to explore it inside. What he saw was creature that looks very much like a werewolf would, floating inside and by the energy in his body had and the chip scans, it was apparent that it had the physical might of a Peak Rank 1 Magus, approaching Rank 2 in some aspects, greatly surprising him, but as he continue assessing it, he realizes that although it was alive it had no soul, it was a biological drone.

Zatiel looked at the small dog sleeping placidly in Ezequiel's hands and begin to go through all the information he had over him before obtain a better picture of his abilities.

`He can swallow biological organism that reach some type of dimension inside his stomach that functions like a furnace, still I am not sure yet if the creature was created without a soul because he used corpses as the prime material or he is not able to create them with one, I need to perform some experiment with living organism. I can detect some type of connection between the creature and Tao so it probably works following the orders, but the little dog does not really understand it so he didn't even give the command for the being to leave the egg.` Zatiel continues assessing the creature and after some final checks, he conjures a spell that generates that pale energy gathers in his hand before pressing it against the shell.

”Animate dead!”

The spell that Zatiel was using was one of necromancy that allows someone to raise a dead body to fight as an undead zombie or skeleton, although they are warriors unafraid of pain, due to their condition they can use less than a third of their original power and most of their abilities are lost.

The werewolf was alive, but what Zatiel was doing was using the part of the spell that generates a pseudo consciousness made of negative energy, making the creature obey his commands without question. In any other living being, this would fail but since the werewolf didn't have a soul it was a perfect target. Once the connection was made he give the creature the order to get out.

The werewolf inside the egg open his eyes, but they were without light an only a small dark flames in their center, and following the command, it blasted his way out breaking the shell.

When the kobold sees him they were alarmed but seeing it remain unmoving in front of Zatiel, waiting for his commands they just took it like another mystery of their ancestor before continuing training.

”Not bad, although it can only follow a simple command, they will become the perfect cannon food for my future campaigns.”

Zatiel pick Tao and started to rub his fur. ”You are a small bag of surprises.”

The small dog opens his eyes and barks before going back to sleep making the three laugh.
