"Don't worry kids, Uncle Max will protect you" Max said as he fought off the intense pain in his ribs and stood upright while picking up two palm sized rocks from the rubble of the explosion. 

*Grrrrrr* 

The pack of five wolves growled as they slowly circled in on him, Max tried to summon [ Thunderblast ] to fry them to a crisp, but found his body once again unable to sense and mobilise mana as he could not summon his attack. 

Harry the werewolf pounced on Max and despite his slow and heavy body, Max rolled out of his way comfortably as he threw one of the rocks in his hands towards another Wolf's head who was flanking him from the right, hitting him straight on his face. 

Harry was slightly surprised that Max was able to evade him, but he immediately turned to face him again after landing and pounced once more.
