Newt should've known better.
He had hoped, in blind faith, a single bolt of lightning from the master bolt would be sufficient enough to put Heracles out of commission. He had even thought of electrocution just to boost their chances of subduing the massive legend. Alas, all they did was anger him further.
Newt leaped to the side, shoving Jack away, as Heracles swung his fist wildly at them. He turned to see if Sharina had followed his actions and dived the other way, but instead, the female host chose to engage him.
"Don't!" Newt cried, scrambling to his feet and to her aid.
She glanced off a strike from him with the base of her Bident, shuddering from the recoil of the impact. Heracles roared, joining the palms of his hands together and bringing them down like a murderous hammer. Sharina rolled to her left, wincing as the force of his hands on the sand carried her a bit further than she intended to go.
