I found it funny none of them basically reacted at all to the first one we killed in comparison the dramatics later. Poor fodder, no one cared about you. Seralize on the other hand based on Ber's reaction gives me the impression she was potentially the equivalent of a GMPC. It seemed like her sword lost whatever force was powering it at the end, was that the case with all the rest of the enchanted gear we noticed I wonder? There's also still the King Fish stuff Gisena got interrupted examining... Sheesh the inventory is piling up and we don't even have a Gamer power!
Anyway as for courses forward another benefit to Press the Attack is even though we'll probably scale to more or less match him if things go well (Until out-scaling him in a month or so probably). That doesn't mean our party will. Considering the amount he'd have to grow to keep up with us they might end up killed as collateral pretty trivially, and he certainly has the incentive to make that happen.
If we take Rain right now then we'd be going after him in a day or so when he's just lost all his companions and still probably resting/healing up. Meanwhile we'd have a fully healed Letrizia piloting (It's not clear how well Verschle can heal but he'll probably still be somewhat relevant.). A somewhat wounded Gisena but she should be pretty close to full effectiveness, considering her stats and engagement method. And a spiritually tired (It's not clear exactly what that state does but based on how exhaustion worked I imagine it's something like pretty close to peak power but not much sustain) Rank 3.75 Hunger that's physically sitting at 116% effectiveness plus whatever additional we get from Letrizia's wounds (I'd guess around another 10-20%).
Considering how much trouble he had with just a fight where he knew exactly how his opponent was going to react I think that's a lineup that has very good odds of taking him down.
