Hera had expected that Nick would have, at least, some troubles with the Blood Wolf.
Sure, the Blood Wolf was technically a level below Nick, but it was huge, and due to its size, its physical power was also very impressive.
Due to its great power and fast regeneration, Solace always sent a team of four Late Johns to work with it.
A single Peak John would most likely not win since the Blood Wolf would outlast them.
Specters very often were more powerful than Extractors on the same level.
Hera had expected Nick to be stronger than the average Peak John, but she hadn't expected Nick to be that much stronger.
The Blood Wolf might as well have been a Hatchling with the way Nick dealt with it.
Another interesting thing was Nick's ability.
Extractors almost exclusively fought with their abilities, and they rarely used their physical powers.
