Éliane had only just recovered from the ringing in her ears when she was forced to yet again dodge the guardian’s corrupted orbs. From the way Izayoi and Galahad reacted when they connected with their bodies, it was obvious that it wasn’t a hit that she wanted to take, as unarmored as she was. Thankfully, she wasn’t weighed down by the heavier weapons that she had so desired using, managing to slip between the various attacks with the occasional boost from her wind materia taking up some of the slack. 

She could see Izayoi and Miina collaborate to keep up the underground storm. The pink-haired woman spared a few quick glances towards Esben as he called forth Ramuh. While the Eidolon didn’t grace the Kirins with his complete presence, just the aid from one felt enough to fully turn the tide of battle. Sensing the momentum shift, she joined Rudolf and Galahad in helping Esben. While she had been hastily dodging the guardian’s magic, she had swapped back to her gunblade. The quick footwork this stage of battle had developed meant that the rifle wasn’t nearly as useful, and she traded its piercing firepower for being able to slash at the attacks and for the way she could rapidly send six bullets straight into the corrupted being…

Which she very quickly did as she closed the distance, the bark of her gun snapping six times as she contributed her weight in pouring on the firepower onto the corrupted core.
