Ghideon used the failure immediately.
He appeared in front of Nera and struck the shaft of the scythe with his human hand. The weapon slipped from her fingers and spun through the corridor. The claw came next, aimed directly at her chest. Nera tried to retreat, but the lunar energy pressed against her senses and disturbed her balance.
Victor crossed the distance with Black Lightning and moved between them.
The claws pierced his back and emerged through his abdomen.
Nera's eyes widened.
Victor seized the lupine arm with both hands before Ghideon could pull it free.
"Now."
Nera did not hesitate. She jumped, caught the scythe while it was still spinning through the air, and used all the momentum to strike Ghideon's elbow. The blade found the region where the bone plates had already been damaged and cut through the joint.
The lupine arm was severed.
