"Beyond Useless"

Kaleb, instinctively, eyes wide with terror, raised his hands and conjured a magic shield. A shimmering, translucent blue barrier appeared before him, just as the Cragheart's colossal arm came crashing down.

The Cragheart's fist slammed into the magic shield with full force. The energy exploded in a blinding flash, and the shield shattered into a thousand pieces.

The resulting shockwave, along with shards of stone and wood, hurled Kaleb backwards. He slammed violently against a tree trunk and crumpled to the ground, dazed and groaning in pain, but alive.

The Cragheart, momentarily thrown off balance by the impact, roared again, even more enraged, and turned its attack towards Leonard and Evelyn.

Leonard, already moving, shouted, "Evelyn, distract it! Mikaela, get Kaleb!"

He activated his ELEV and focused all his energy on his legs. His body became a bluish blur as he dodged the Cragheart's colossal fist by an inch.
