After managing to push Jetshard off, the jellies turn their attention to Aiden... Which is, you know, a mistake. While magic normally doesn't have much of an effect, he seems to get lucky; three of the jellies burn into faintly glowing husks, still and idle in the air, and several of the others have scorch marks, all of them retreating back away from him.
Below water
A number of the Armiger weapons simply shoot through seaweed and peel the cover off the siren, revealing its somewhat twisted form. it's hard to pick out much against the dark stone, but it seems to have a total of four of the "beaks" that attacked Mai, with not-quite radial symmetry. However, four of Ardyn's weapons and one of Izunia's do score fairly decent glancing hits, slicing the creature open and mingling a dark purple blood with the slime and the water. It's soon apparent that it tastes vaguely sulfurous. Additionally, Ardyn's Axe of the Conqueror lands a direct hit on what passes for a central body, and cuts off one large tentacle and a handful of smaller clusters.
Mai gets snapped at once more - her sword sing just barely missing the head as it tries to go for her. Astolfo has a bit more luck, though - although he doesn't cut the 'head' off, his blade gouges into it deeply, a chunk of flesh curling away and releasing more blood into the water.
Akira's blast makes the creature recoil in pain again - the sound is less intense this time, but still more than a little painful for those who are close to it. It also flinches, pulling unengaged tentacles inward just briefly.
Cannon-Lin is caterpulted right at it... But the electrical attack seems to mostly sting, rather than causing it the kind of severe pain the light-element attacks have been. With one of the large tentacles, it knocks her stunned body back, attempting to fling her back at Undyne.
