Tyler did the most logical thing he could do in this situation with no time to think. He stopped the magic holding the water to his body and stopped his body and let momentum fling the water onto Meruin. He then pulled some earth from the ground and made a weaker armor out of that. He then began running forwards as he pulled a scythe from the ground. The scythe was made of pure earth. He hadn't quite mastered elemental manipulation enough to produce metal yet.
