Josefu: !?...Thunder Body!
(Dodging the ground on where the tongue hit the ground is melted leaving a acidic slimy goo in its place)
Snake: be careful it has acidic properties
Lucy: ok
Luke: what a monster
(Jumping from tree to tree the lizard looks at them letting out a hissing roar then dashes away)
Luke: what a beast
Snake: it seems it wasn't stupid enough to attack us when it's outnumbered
(Snake and the other check the cave and don't find any clues or traces of a tiger near, sitting at this cave they discuss a plan)
Snake: alright let's take time to plan this, who is the strongest here I already know Luke is a Healer

Lucy: I'm a High A Rank marital artist
Shinya: I'm a Mid A rank
Josefu: I'm also a Mid A rank
Snake: mhm alright we got a good team I am a High A rank, so this Demonic Tiger has a history of being territorial and highly aggressive to those in this area. also it being S rank means it has a strong energy
Josefu: Damn this will be hard to deal with then
Lucy: yeah finding one is the problem
Snake:When we fight the beast, we have to keep of from recovering, Luke do u think your dark hold can immobilize it?
Luke: no it's rank is too high it wouldn't faze it
