Army of the Damned

CHAPTER 10

After searching for a few minutes, Pierence unknowingly finds himself in the Security Wing's Conference Hallway. Sees a single door to the left, he walks to it and takes a peek. He sees the Generals, all frozen in place. He could see their medals and maps littered about and a man wearing a General cap with Five stars. Curious, he opens the door. Chills suddenly exit the room and into his spine. He knows, this is them. He uses telekinesis magic and talks to the other party members, alerting them of what they've found. After a minute of waiting, Ingraine was the first to arrive, tired from looking. Then Grifvet and Eattare. Pierence was standing outside the opened door, waiting for them to catch their breath.

"I think this is it."

"Let's check it out."

The party enters the room and the heavy atmosphere quickly dawns on them. The people seated there were extremely powerful. Grifvet was quick to touch their uniforms and even look Admiral Elmer in the eyes. He sees nothing inside their skulls but absolute darkness. The frozen skeletal generals had a strange energy coming off of them. Eattare knows that the seal is getting overloaded by them. She places her hand at the finger of Hassan himself. She casts Mana transfer, and Hassan's fiery eyes slowly fade in. The party was shocked and curious. They all get near the frozen skeleton and see that its eyes are two blue fireballs.

As they were busy looking at Hassan, Paul and John's eyes also started lighting up. Out of nowhere, they hear the ice breaking and cracking. Eattare notices this and pumps even more Mana into Hassan. The cracking of the ice becomes even more apparent and all of the sudden General Paul moves his arm. Ice was thrown everywhere as his sudden movement shocked the party members.

He stands up, his Colt Python Revolver in hand. Grifvet was quick on his knees, putting up his small round shield to protect the members.

"Who're you?"

"We're the Adamantium party, a Dragon God named Bahamut told us to free you."

"What on God's green Earth, Bahamut wasn't frozen? And Dragon God?! Since when? When I summoned her, the Seven Pillars of Space diluted her powers to... oh."

Eattere, who was shielding her friends, stands in between him and Hassan.

"Y-yes."

Seeing the young mage in purple robes and the band of what seems to be young adventurers, Paul quickly holsters his revolver.

"I apologize for that. Guys, wake up."

He punches the table, sending Mana to his frozen friends and they quickly awaken. Ice and Snow was thrown all around the room as they rose from their slumber. The Eleven Generals were all confused as to who were these people wearing Chainmail Knight armor, Leather armor and beautiful Robes and what they were doing in the conference room. Outside the hallway, more cracking is heard and the soldiers start becoming animated again, fighting the frozen bond they've been trapped in.

Clueless, Hassan grabs Ingraine's shoulder. She jumped from the shock and her Elf ears were pointing upwards from the sheer amount of Mana she felt coming from the skeleton.

"I thank you, all of us... Thank you. But please, could you wait outside while we talk about this."

"U-uh, o-of course."

"Please do wait. We'll talk to you after speaking."

The party leaves the room and waits outside. The cold and chilly temperature was slowly dropping and the snow and ice was turning into liquid as the seal's effects slowly disappeared. Inside the Conference room, they could see the skeleton generals were once again active, but they do not know what they're saying. They might hear their voice, but their jaws weren't moving.
