When Bathiel fell, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
This was such a hard-fought battle because there were no shortcuts or strategies that could be taken advantage of. This fight tested the sheer willpower and strength of the team. The only way to pass this stage was to defeat as many Water Elementals in the shortest amount of time possible.
For example, if Lu Li and the others had made the slightest error, Bathiel would have devoured the 5th Water Elemental. This would have meant certain death for the entire party. Azure Sea Breeze particularly struggled in this fight; he was barely clinging on for life when Bathiel devoured the 4th Water Elemental.
If the entire team was defeated, they would lose the help of Scout Thaelrid, which would make this Instance Dungeon impossible to complete.
Luckily, Azure Sea Breeze was very skilled in Instance Dungeons and March Rain was able to maximize her potential as a priest.
