Guts in total despair. It is the first time we have seen Guts like this, we have seen him helpless, broken and angry but never in utter despair, totally lost. Dam, every time you think it can't get much worse for Guts than it already had been, it gets 10 times worse.
From what I've read so far, after ch. 371's premiere, some fans started theorizing about how those few last chapters (Moonchild revealed to be Griffith; Griffith kidnapping Casca; Griffith's presence causing Elfhelm's destruction) could have been nothing else but an introduction to the endgame of the whole manga.
Personally, I don't think we are close to the endgame. Usually such moments are marked as "climax" and are clearly pointed out in the story. But we will see what future brings. Time will tell.
