We rushed into the town. Considering we were new to Paradise, Sarah, Anna and I followed the demons as they ran. When we finally arrived, we heard another scream.
" AHHH!"
" LOOK OUT!"
When we turned the corner, we found a horrific sight. A giant, dark green alligator with 6 legs and 3 eyes was attacking 3 demons. The gator was the size of a bus! It used its tail to swipe at the demons. The tail crashed into one of the demons. It was what looked like a young woman who was hit. She crashed into a stone house. After seeing the gator begin to ready itself for another attack on the citizens of Paradise. I started to buff everyone next to me with my Angel spells with Multi-Cast.
" What is this!?"
"I'm buffing you! We're all going to fight that thing! Anna! Ready a lightning bolt and fire it when I say! Sarah launch spells at it until you find an opening! I'll support you with buffs and offensive spells! Lady! Young guy! Whatever you're good at work with us with it!"
" Got it!"
The lady was confused when she felt my spells take effect. Sarah and Anna followed my instructions as I delivered them, the other 2 adults were confused.
" What are you standing there for!? People are getting hurt! MOVE YOUR ASSES! THIS IS YOUR TOWN TO!"
" W-We will!"
I yelled at them and that woke them up. We began attacking the gator.
" Sis!"
One of the demons yelled and ran towards the girl who was smashed into the building.
" NO!"
The gator readied itself to launch an attack at the 2 demons still left.
" Reflect!"
I cast Reflect on the 2 of them.
" GUARR!"
/CRASH!/
" What is this!"
The gator crashed into my Reflect hard, but the barrier repelled the gator back. The demons had no idea what I did. Regardless, Sarah, the red demons, the one blue demon and I reached the 2 demons that the gator wanted to get at.
" You 2 what the hell did you do to piss it off!?"
" Nothing! We were going about our day, and it crashed through the wall over there!"
The lady scolded the 2 demons I just saved. I looked at the wall they pointed at to see a hole the size of the gator in the wall. Seems they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Why is this happening? All of the data I read about Paradise and the Rose Swamps said that gators were docile unless you stepped into their territory. Why now? Enough thinking! everyone needs to focus and kill this thing.
" You 2 go help the kid with the girl! Sarah! Let's start it up!"
I summon Scarlet and begin to launch Holy Bolts and Holy Arrows at the gator, Sarah began sending black wind blades at the gator. Some damage was done thankfully. One of its arms was fried by our combined artillery as it roared in pain. I'd almost feel bad if not for the fact it rampaged in my town.
" HYAH!"
The lady was attacking it with what looked like a naginata. The 2 guys were using regular long swords. All 3 were attacking the gator with everything they had. The gators that infested the Rose Swamps were ranked at an S-class in power. However, because of their lethargy and the fact they were deeply reclusive, left them being ranked at A. Their tough hide, strong jaws with sharp teeth and strong limbs are all problems to deal with. So far, we've been able to keep it under control for now with all of the pressure, but we need to do something soon before others get involved. Not to even mention my buffs are wearing off!
