It didn't pierce the armor.

If I had more time to aim, then maybe I could have hurt the Valheim dog more seriously. But he was still able to vanquish Garuda, though our objective had been completed and Valheim's goal denied.

And none of the others had been harmed further than they already had been. At the very least, the shot had accomplished that much.I would have to retrieve the cannon in a few moments.

Shilage-san is alive. There is no need to worry myself any further than that in regards to that matter. Malina-san is alive and already mending what injuries she can, as well, despite her dire state. I can do little to assist with mending injuries in a more effective manner, but at least I was able to ensure that neither was harmed further. Izayoi-dono, too, had been able to break free due to the shot. My ears are still ringing, so I am at least happy that using that thing was able to achieve as much as it had. Had I failed---

I do not believe there is any purpose in thinking of such an outcome. Guaranteeing the success of this mission, and by extension the survival of my allies, is the most important matter as of this moment.

---Garland. That Valheim dog was strong, and well-prepared. Slowly, I make a mental catalogue of every technique, every piece of equipment that he had utilized. He had not been pushed particularly far, and he had even been able to overpower Izayoi-dono, but at the same time keeping in mind everything he had shown himself to be capable of would only benefit us for the future.

"... Had I more time, I would have taken more careful aim," I speak half to myself. But ultimately, there is no longer any purpose in worrying about that.

For the moment, I should simply be ready to offer my assistance to my allies.
