Butcher's eyes managed to catch the spike as it came, but it was far too late for him to react in any way to it. Ken had concealed it so well that he had made no preparations for such an attack.
The spike travelled through the air fast and penetrated Butcher's neck. It was clean, half of it sunk into the neck. What followed after was a fountain of blood. It gushed out nonstop and immediately painted the floor.
Butcher clutched at his neck after that, staggering backward with blood pouring out of his neck. Ken stood there and watched him, thinking that he had won the battle, but then suddenly, Butcher grabbed the spike that was lodged deep into his neck and yanked it out immediately. More blood gushed out, but he did not even make a single noise.
He tossed the spike to the ground and it dissolved. After all, it was made of his own body, so he could uncreate it. The issue was that he wasn't able to do that fast enough, else he would have used that to stop Ken from stabbing him.
