lirael decapitate hand

Sobbing with fury and revulsion, Lirael spun around and hewed off the thing's head, Nehima showering silver sparks as it cut through. But even then the Dead Hand functioned, the spirit inside indifferent to any physical harm. She cut at it again and again, but Dead fingers still clutched its victim, and the head still gnashed its teeth.
