Just as Bill shouted the heads up to everyone, the ground beneath Iris began to crack and open up. Before Iris could even realize it, the cracks had gotten too big and in the next few seconds, she would become beast food.
"Iris, watch out!" Bill shouted as he used his Wind ability to propel himself forward and manage to save Iris right before the ground completely collapsed, and the mouth of the King Beetle pierced through, trying to eat its prey.
Iris had a look of terror and fear on her face as she was saved just in time and narrowly avoided death.
"You alright?" Bill asked laying Iris down some distance away from the King Beetle.
"Yeah... Thanks a lot for saving me," Iris said in an embarrassed tone.
"No worries, but this getting out of hand really quickly," Bill said as he observed the fighting from afar.

"Oh... that was a close one!" A patrolling officer commented as he barely stopped himself from dashing forward and saving Iris from the Beetle King.
