Are there really any fights that aren't worth mentioning?
Well...
But then, it might be a good idea to include those too for comic relief, maybe?
Anyway, here's my attempt at doing a fight-summary, please bear in mind that I'm not very good at writing, especially in English, so everybody, feel free to post your own summaries or change the phrases as you please! It's still pretty rough but that's basically what I had in mind for a summary.
The fight takes place in Roshinu's lair with the self-proclaimed elf queen trying to seduce her childhood friend Jill into becoming an elf herself.
Her attempt is hindered when she realizes that her whole lair has been set on fire by the black swordsman who is now not only destroying her lair, but also killing vast amounts of her servants.
Furious, she orders her minions in an all-out attack to dispose of the intruder once and for all. But Guts proves to be a lot more than just a mere "strong onii-chan": In a kamikaze-like action, he throws himself into the fires, burning himself in the process along with a majority of the elves.
Afterwards he pierces one of the cocoons to let it's contents extinguish the fire on his body.
With no more minions ready for battle, Roshinu joins in the fight, only to find herself cornered shortly after due to the disadvantages provided by the battleground (eggs). Yet, she still manages to barely escape Guts killing blow and flee deeper into the blazing lair. There, she pulls the last resort by transforming into her true apostle form looking like a giant Papilionoidea, and now attacks Guts with high speed, trying to pierce him with her proboscis (I had to look that one up. No idea if it's correct).
Realizing that he won't be able to dodge any more attacks at that enormous pace, Guts pulls off a hazardous maneuver:
He uses his arms to form a visor and predict Roshinu's attack with it.
He then voluntarily lets his right arm get skewered and just narrowly avoids his head getting the same treat by deflecting the threat with his iron arm.
As a reaction, Roshinu flies towards the sky, carrying the impaled Guts with her, threatening to kill him and teasing him the whole time. However, she notices too late that Guts' cannon is being aimed at her the whole time and thus she receives a point-blank shot in her stomach, but still manages to survive after falling on the ground.
Having taken serious injuries from the fall, Guts curses himself for having already missed three chances to kill Roshinu.
The battle suddenly ceases with Roshinu trying to rescue Jill who is still trapped in the burning cave. But Guts, totally ignoring the possible danger of killing Jill as well, mercilessly attacks Roshinu from behind and impales her with the dragon slayer.
Frenzied, Roshinu takes flight once more, determined to kill Guts in mid-air to prove that no human could ever hurt an elf.
She actually manages to score a hit on Guts head and spear it. But just when she is about to cry in triumph, Guts face turns around:
Defeated, Roshinu finally admits to herself that she didn't find any elves at all and finally finds peace in death after saying farewell to Jill.
