The only ones who weren't affected by the Telecactus's illusion magic were Von and Amber, because they refused to drink the water from the lake.
Some members of the squad were lucky enough to break free from the spell using their strong willpower. But those who were mentally weak were devoured.
Von and Amber couldn't intervene because anyone who drank the water was pulled into the illusion realm created by the Telecactus, a powerful spell close to Seventh Class spell.
The only way to escape was to overcome your deepest desire.
Those who managed to break free from the illusion were returned to the spot where they had vanished.
Some mages even succeeded in defeating the Telecactus inside the illusion, which also brought them back to reality.
The remaining survivors were Gabby, Amber, Von, Maya, a priest named Myr, a Gravity Mage named Helen.
The last to emerge was Robin. He had defeated the Telecactus, its body covered in deep, jagged cuts.
