I'm definitely expecting Daiba & Garuda to swoop into Erica's rescue next episode (Erica helping Daiba out with his leg/knee wasn't likely put in for no reason in the previous episodes), that and/or some sort of intervention from the Moonlight Boy, since the full moon is out. Regardless of the method though I would pretty surprised if Erica got killed off.
I mean, I've noticed a lot of (what I presume to be) younger fans on other websites kinda overstating Miura's willingness/tendency to kill off protagonist characters. As outside of The Eclipse (which was in a flashback and had a huge amount of buildup involved with it), the only significant named protagonist/"good guy" characters that Miura has killed off has been Shisu/Sys, Godo, Flora, Chitch, and Serpico's mother (if one is very generous with the term "good guy"); with three of those deaths still being in flashbacks and the other two characters either died of old age/natural causes or were already in the process of doing so and none of them were particularly gorey.
Most character deaths in Berserk, outside of The Eclipse, are usually either unnamed masses/soldiers/villagers and/or antagonistic characters. I think it would be very atypical of Miura's writing patterns to kill Erica in this relatively sudden (not much build-up) manner.
