I figured it was only a matter of time before this fight happened.

Difficulty: 6.5/10
They share and HP bar not like Olcypete where it's just each one has their own HP and just appears to be unique instead their health is connected like they have a soul bond of their own. Gunnar does his thrusts and Dragoons just like before but now his only perilous attack is the slam which he puts in the middle of his combos making it tricky to parry. He also sends off flaming shockwaves either forward or a single one all around him.
Phylleia has her flippy dippy anime sword style she used in the cutscene all that time ago but she'll also include some wind slashes and juggling combos for fun.
At half health all their combos extend by 1 attack making the parries even trickier and they even have a team attack of their very own where Gunnar will start creating a massive tornado that shoots out 4 smaller tornadoes while Phylleia rides the wind and tosses daggers around.

STORY STUFF:
Continuing from earlier the Baltans are trying to kill Karja because she's going to become the Vessel for Rollo. Also Odr is hunting us more than eager to speed things along by killing Adol. Gunnar and Phylleia confront us to try and end the problem before it can begin even at the cost of killing Karja themselves.
After the fight ends we get a bit more lore that points to the fact that this is a curse something that could technically happen to anyone in the Balta bloodline but given their seal broke 14 years ago when she was a toddler she was the prime target and this incident led to the death of Karja's Mother.
Some more dialogue is exchanged and Karja then explicitly mentions to Phylleia and Gunnar that it wasn't Rollo the Grieger lord that kicked their ass but Karja Balta.
