"Perhaps. You still have much to learn of magic against the Pishaca Leader Paramarisha Sen'ani' Daiba."
Guts is the first one to defend the group from the attacks of the Makaras, being pummeled by it's trunks and water sprays as he manages to partially block it's damage with his greatsword.
As one of them body slams itself onto the sinking ship, Guts appears to be crushed under the weight of the whale-elephant hybrid, seemingly dying as blood rises from the spot he sank from.
"GUUUUTS!" Your group collectively shouts for him as you feel the presence of his life force.
Though he is not dead, you wonder if that would be the better outcome, as opposed to the beast of darkness finally awakening.
"AAAAAAAAAAARGH!" The roar of the wolf spawn is audible as he springs from the water, walking up one of the Makaras as the dragonslayer drags itself through it's skin, easily killing it off as he brings himself back onto the boat.
"Amazing! Why did he not do this before?" Roderick mistakes the berserker armor's display of strength with Guts'.
"It's not something we should be celebrating. As soon as he runs out of enemies to defeat..."
"We gon' be 'is target." Hyde completes Serpico's sentence, aware that his bloodthirst isn't barred by who bleeds.
"How unfathomable! The chief of the Pishaca, slaughtered with ease by just a lone swordsman? A Makara is able to sink tens of warships by itself! Though by wrapping yourself with the Prana of Durga, I can hardly call yourself a mere swordsman..."
With one member of your team already being down, you have little time to ask for Ivalera for extra energy to heal whatever injuries Gunpowder and the others have from the por landing as The beast makes quick work of the remaining Makaras.
The thought of Daiba doing something to the waters the moment Casca decides to make her dirt bridge is not lost on you...
>Let her make the bridge, you'll deal with Daiba if he attacks.>Preemptively block his Od flow.>Ask Schierke and Farnese to appeal to Guts' humanity.>Fire your Od arrows at the caster to distract him.>Something else.
