Percy vs Antaeus: Let us not forget, in The Battle of The Labyrinth, Percy killed Antaeus. Percy is the only demigod ever (Correct me if I'm wrong), that has ever killed Antaeus. This is one of Percy's greatest feats. Actually, Hercules slew Antaeus before Percy.

Also, killing monsters may sound awesome, but after a certain extent, it is not much of a big deal, because they are all an unskilled lot. Either they are poisonous; fire breathing; strong/gigantic; flying; exaggerated animal physiology etc. Most monsters share all these attributes, so if a hero is able to beat all these types, it isn't much of an issue anymore.

In that respect, Nico is far ahead of most demigods, as he is atleast familiar with, if he has not defeated the most dangerous monsters. Walt, in comparison, is a mere novice. He maybe powerful, but he is nowhere near Nico's experience.

As far as Nico's swordfighting skill is concerned, it is again, decent enough for him to hold his own against most opponents, so it is not much of a problem.

Thanks. Yes, Nico is pretty good at sword fighting, and like you said, he is decent enough to hold his ground.
