Chapter 554: The devout procession
The Kidjikkik skeletons got into formation, forming a semicircle along the back of the underground cathedral to surround the zombies as much as possible. The Kidjikkik formed orderly lines under Bookie’s control, with the guardians in front and the soldier brandishing their spears from behind, and they started slowly advancing as one at his command.
The zombies weren’t as organized. Many started channeling small fireballs, while the tall one channeling a bigger fireball kept feeding it with more mana.
Voices started rising amongst the zombies, the same singing Sofia had been able to hear coming from here before. Sofia tried to see who was singing partly because she was curious and partly because the description on the scroll said she had to make silence flourish, but she failed to find the source of the voices among the zombies.
They’ll be silent when they’re all dead.
Wait, they’re already dead…
When they’re twice dead.
For now…
Sofia summoned the whole skull choir with human skulls. “Now sing!”
The choir started singing the music of Victory, resonating throughout the nave and drowning out the Zombies’ singing. At the same time, the battle truly started as Bookie gave the Kidjikkiks the order to attack, and the first fireball flew from the Zombies’ side toward the skeletons.
