"Griffith No More!" said:How are they a greater immediate threat at the moment? They're out on an island and Guts is in the next town over. And c'mon, we know that Elfhelm is only a threat in so much as they can help Guts. =)
I still don't think he's much of a threat to him, if he was he would have just taken him out on the hill of swords. But hell, why not take him out now.. since he's so close and all.
