Kapitel 188: Unbroached Subject
Earlier :
Ralf deflects yet another shot from Agnes flintlock, bursts of flame either melting the projectile before it can make contact with them, and or knocking it away in another direction. He glances to his dragon familiar and gestures at the small army advancing on their position, "Halt their advance! Use no lethal attacks!" he commands and his dragon nods, flying off to impede the enemy.
Ralf turns his attention back towards Agnes who was hastily trying to reload her weapon, giving him ample opportunity to country attack. He dashes forwards and jabs his sword in her direction while chanting, short after firing a small burst of fire that strikes Agnes, singing her eyebrows, but more importantly causing her to flinch and stumble backwards.
She loses her grip on her flintlock as she hastily rubs the sot from her face and eyes, leaving her with only her sword left to combat Ralf. Who, just so happens to be charging Agnes just as she finally gets back her vision.
*Crash*
*Thud!*
Ralf charges straight into her, picking her up and throwing her down the hill, causing her to start rolling down it as if she were chasing a wheel of cheese. With that, he grabs the flintlock from the ground and looks towards Tiffania, his brows raising when he notices the Valliere girl get hit by a stray Erase spell cast by the Half-Elf.
Tiffania's clothes and cloak were a bit scorched, but all in all, she was unharmed, if out of breath. Princess Henrietta sprints for Louise as soon as she's disabled however, taking up the pink-haired girl into her arms and trying to awaken her. "Louise! You've got to break yourself from the spell!" she says while gently shaking her, but her expression darkens when she doesn't immediately awaken. "What spell did you cast!?" she exclaims, locking eyes with the sheepish-looking Tiffania.
"I-it was a memory erase spell...I removed an hours worth of memories from her mind." she says while walking over, "I was hoping that removing her memories would remove the Ring's control over her."
Henrietta frowns but eventually relents, nodding as it was probably the best chance they had at removing the Ring's influence. It was an incredibly powerful and famous artifact, originally protected by the water spirit guarding Lake Lagdorian... Mortals were never meant to wield its power.
"I apologize for interrupting, but the rest of your men are still under the enemy's control!" Ralf states from the side, pointing over at his retreating dragon who'd taken one too many musket shots.
Henrietta frowns and looks over at Tiffania, "Can you cast this 'Erase' spell on multiple people?"
Tiffania anxiously tugs on her cloak's hood, "I can, but it takes time and tires me out." she admits,
Henrietta nods and picks up Louise's wand, "Then begin it, I will try to give you enough time to cast it." she says while making her way to a position where she could clearly see her entire mind-controlled entourage.
"I will assist you." Ralf adds, standing a good distance from her and using Earth elemental spells to start obstructing the approaching army... Unfortunately, they too had mages at their disposal, allowing them to reverse whatever alterations Ralf makes and allowing the Musketeer Knights to quickly advance.
"In the name of your Princess, stop!" Henrietta exclaims while waving her borrowed wand overhead, literally sucking vast amounts of water from the vapour in the air. It pools above her like vortex, and sweat begins to gather on her forehead as she draws more and more water.
Her mind-controlled subjects begin firing muskets and spells at her, but Ralf fires gouts of heavy fire to obstruct them, while Henrietta divides her attention and forms a wall of water in front of her.
After a few more moments of Henrietta gathering water, she pulls on it all and gathers it into her makeshift water wall before firing it forward like a miniature tidal wave. It begins sweeping down the hill, picking up anyone and everyone unfortunate enough to be in its path. They wouldn't drown, but it certainly knocks a few of them out.
The enemy mages attempt to stop it with their own spells, but nothing they throw at it is able to do more than leave ripples on its surface. A few take refuge under a few conjured stone spheres, but the rest are swept further down the hill.
With that done, Henrietta drops her hands to her knees while trying to catch her breath. She was neither a warrior, nor particularly practised in using her magic. Sure she was powerful, but she hadn't actually cast a spell like that in years. She glances over to Tiffania who was just finishing up her preparations for the Erase spell but her eyes widen when she spots a familiar face advancing behind Tiffania. "Wait!"
"Erase!" Tiffania finally casts, a large flare of white light firing down the hill and enveloping all of Henrietta's people on it. This does have some side effects however, her skin goes pale and her breathing becomes weak. Tiffania drops to a knee in exhaustion with her vision becoming blurry, making her unable to even spot the attack coming from behind her. She doesn't hear Henrietta's warning as Agnes' sword comes down behind her, directly at her neck.
*Clang!*
Only for it to be blocked by a familiar-looking energy shield, one created by a broach in her pocket that she'd been intending to gift to Michael. It turns to dust upon deflecting the attack, and Agnes is sent stumbling backwards, allowing Ralf to make a swift and fierce counterattack.
*Whoosh!*
A hot stream of fire blows Agnes clear off of her feet, almost burning completely through her chest plate as he runs to protect Tiffania. "No one shall attack my charge! Under control or not!" he roars, glancing over his shoulder at Henrietta who looks too shocked to form any kind of reaction against him, despite his attack greatly injuring Agnes.
