Chapter 227: Intentions
Elin felt like everything was happening faster than she was able to keep up with. First she was helping the few that had been knocked out and had the enchanted armor removed. Then Elmo changed the spell he was using and they were suddenly getting more knocked out. Then Elmo was nearly overwhelmed, only being saved by Kim's quick thinking. Then she was handling healing those who had been knocked out by Kim that had rushed Elmo. After their armor was removed, of course.
Yet now, they had moved farther into the camp, Kim directing those who were free of the enchantment to take a stand where the people who were under the enchantment could be surrounded as they moved in-between the tents.
Elin felt like things might start to calm down a little, but then after the first three had been subdued and Elin rushed to heal them after the armor was stripped off of them, the tents started to fall.
It wasn't like the tents were torn apart, but rather the supporting beams that held them up were knocked over. Which meant that the choke points that they'd been working with suddenly weren't there anymore. Instead, they had essentially an open field with just the tent and the supporting beams underfoot. Which wasn't that difficult to deal with.
The problem that created was that it prevented them from being able to engage those who were under the enchanter's control one at a time. Which Elin had felt they were making headway with that method.
Elmo still threw out a terror spell here and there, but Elin couldn't help but notice that the spell wasn't having as significant of an effect as it had been. She couldn't say why, but the 'why' wasn't really that important right now. What was important was the fact that they were starting to get overwhelmed again.
Not so much by the numbers of those who were still enchanted, but rather because those who were still under the enchantment weren't treating it like they were trying to save their friends, but rather they looked like they didn't care whether or not they killed those who weren't one of them or if they managed to turn them to their side.
The situation made Elin feel rather queasy and wished she had more that she could do other than just heal. Especially since the MP potions were starting to disagree with her stomach. Not to mention the taste of them was starting to add to her nausea.
However, she did her best to push those aside as she knew that they needed her to be able to use her magic, even if it was to just do what she had been doing since this skirmish had started. She couldn't say how things might turn out after this, but she was at least determined to see it through to the end.
