What just happened was insane. Yet, out of all the things which Bardeelus could say, he said something that didn't contribute to fixing the problem whatsoever.
He saw Driola's bear butt-cheeks, arched a few inches out of the water, and mumbled. "Looks like I won't get married soon…"
Those words seemed out of context, but in his vocabulary, Bardeelus acknowledged his own flaws. It wasn't ideal to push pretty ladies towards monsters, especially with a penis!
Anyway, it would be dangerous to jump in the creek just to pull her out, because the presumed crocodile was close by, and it would chew them up in seconds.
Instead, to prevent any possible damage, he focused on this new heartbeat, and launched an attack. Within a blink, he blew its heart up, and stopped most of the commotion in the water.
The only one panicking was Driola, who took about five seconds to stand up. Her composure was dotted with rage, and she surely wanted to kick her friend on the nuts.
