He pivoted toward the nomad just as the creature rushed forward and, using the two halves of the energy sword for leverage, rammed them into the wall, swung around them, and delivered a smashing kick to the guard’s face.

There was an audible snap! as the nomad’s neck vertebrae broke apart. Then it folded to the floor in a twitching heap.
