After having come to this conclusion Eldrian wondered just how different his magic would be as he learned more. While the spells he used had no damage modification, at least at this Tier, being able to control it had made it like he had an extra weapon or arm. Giving him a massive advantage over anyone and anything which could not protect themselves from it.
Continuing on towards the sounds of battle Eldrian saw that the soldiers were struggling to hold out. There were around ten players who were trying to keep five Arkbeasts at bay. 'Trying to' being an optimal description as they were barely managing to keep those five from killing them.
Other than the players there were three soldiers with swords and shields wearing heavy plate armor. They were each keeping two beasts at bay, while this caused them to do little damage, it did ensure that the entire group was not overrun.
