Gwen looks back up in hope when she sees the Onion Knight's attack work. It had seemed utterly unimpressive, but Garland is almost down.
Help him. You've got something that'll work.
It'll hit Yunalesca, too. There's no way to attack Garland without getting both of them.
Knock her down, knock her out. Save her life after the real threat's been dealt with.
But what if-
Gwen doesn't get time to finish that thought as the next attack comes. More of the snakes, sneaking through the gaps and holes in her armor, finding flesh and biting deep. She's losing blood and energy alike to the attacks, feeling weaker by the second. Her scream is one of pain, frustration, and the screams of her allies surround her, too. Act. Now. You've got to stop this, because she won't.
"I'm sorry." Tears fall from her eyes, but it doesn't blur her vision for the shot. She raises the gunblade with both hands, bracing her good foot back, as this time, the weapon charges up more significantly than before, light streaming down the entire length of the blade. "I'm truly sorry."
Judgment. It's the one attack she's got that might be enough, might get through to Garland, and might end this. She finds the strength to keep the gun steady as it fires, the impact's center is between Yunalesca and Garland, truly, but the AoE should be enough to catch them both in non-elemental explosive damage. But, if it cuts down the woman that was once their ally, is it worth it? Even if it all ends, is this worth it?
