Nick's ability was still inactive since he was currently in physical contact with the Specter, but that didn't matter.
His blades activated, and Nick punched forward.
BOOOM!
Nick's blade and fists buried into the ground.
Just now, Nick had attacked the Specter's neck, and he was certain that he had just decapitated it, which had been his goal.
Naturally, Nick didn't want to kill the Specter, but something like that wouldn't kill one.
BANG!
Nick felt something hit his side.
With his superior reaction speed, Nick managed to grab the appendage, which could barely move inside his grip.
CRKSH!
Nick used his blade and cut off the base of the appendage, throwing it to the side.
Since Nick's body was a lot more powerful, the Specter could barely do anything to defend itself.
