>>5417761>>5417817>>5417874Saying goodbye to Stanley as he responded with 'Good Riddance!' you've left him with the paper work as you exited to place your trust in the undines.
Splitting the trident into a primary and secondary weapon to use at the same time proved to be a good idea, with the wetting of the floor with the water torrents, you managed to prevent any fire from spreading by the lanterns and by Isidro's salamander knife.
Picking up the neat little trick you did to ignite the ballroom entrance after you told him what to do, you've dispersed a few meters away from Guts as he cleanly took out several of the approaching Dakas in one swell strike.
"Isn't there a way for you to control the fire?"
"Isn't there a way for you to control the water?!" Isidro responds as he throws a bomb from Guts' arsenal. And for once, he's right.
Spreading the alcohol around the monsters, you manage to make a line of fuel for Isidro to ignite, sending your enemies to the fires of hell before even getting close to the houses. All you had to do later was bring water from the pier and crash the waves onto it to clear the way for the citizens to escape to where the army was heading.
The water puddles still find a way to be useful, as you can turn the droplets of water into stalactites and growing frost icicles with the remote commands of the undines.
"The water spirits are a lot calmer today." Puck compliments them for not killing you this time.
"Guess any further mistakes are on me then."
"A-A-A-are we going to save everyone on the city?" Benny asks, failing to do his songs as he trembles from fear.
"Damn, you're even more useless than Farnese when she started out!" Isidro rolls over him and strikes his scimitar at the Daka about to impale the stammering musician. "We're good, but we can't be in two places at once!"
"B-B-but it's not fair to those being killed!"
"You wanna play fair? Make sure you can at least walk without stumbling on your feet!" Isidro sweeps Benny by his feet, baiting the Kushan monster to go after him before Puck blinded them with a flash:
"Puck Spaaaark!"
The shining little elf gives Isidro ample time for you to spin on your heels and swipe them all on the floor, making the ice freeze their faces and impale their heads as it grew from within.
All of this without even using your Od strikes or worsening your wounds, all hail the power of team composition.
Reading the Od of Guts and the crew, you can clearly notice them walking past the storehouses. The best routes available are to run after them before the enemies circle you again, or try your own route by walking to the closer alleyway that would trace you into a shortcut
Given Benny's stumpy legs and the risk of drawing the attention of more enemies lying ahead, you have half a second to ponder on the better option.
>Into the alleyway.>Cross the storehouses.>Neither, freeze the lake and try walking on water.
