Chapter 122: Deadly Night (2)
The battle erupted on all sides. The living clashed against the dead, and followers of the goddess fought against servants of darkness, their cries and roars filling the air as spears and swords collided.
"Saisha, grant us your blessing! Lend us your sword!"
The priests chanted a unified prayer for blessings. The weapons of the temple soldiers began to shimmer faintly with holy light.
"Stay calm, everyone!”
"As long as the priests are with us, zombies aren’t hard to deal with!"
The soldiers courageously swung their blessed blades at the advancing swarm of zombies. With each slash, limbs flew from the undead bodies.
“Uuuuhhh..."
"Uuurrgh..."
Under normal circumstances, the zombies wouldn’t have been deterred by losing a limb. They would have kept attacking without hesitation. But the divine energy in the weapons suppressed the darkness within them, causing the zombies to falter for a few seconds after being struck. The soldiers seized this brief pause to unleash relentless attacks.
"Keep hitting them!”
"Don’t stop until they can’t rise again!"
The blessing didn’t mean that a mere graze from their blades would instantly kill a zombie, but it gave the soldiers a noticeable advantage. Elsewhere, soldiers armed with blunt weapons like battle hammers and maces were engaging the skeleton hordes.
