It's like saying without eyes you can't see. Percy used some of his powers to 'defeat' Carter, and normally, Percy just needs to snap his hand and everything dies. I think that's what Percy meant.

Actually, Percy didn't have to use his powers to defeat Carter. His powers only made it easier to overpower Carter, but Percy was already overpowering him with his unpredictable sword-fighting skills. Carter on the other hand, had to use his powers to survive. I mean, if he didn't used his magic powers, he wouldn't have stopped Percy, resulting in Percy killing Carter. Carter was lucky to not get hit in the neck or chest. Cause when Percy's sword hit Carter's wrist, he collapsed in agony and pain. Carter even admitted that Percy could've killed him easily in that moment, but Percy didn't.

Plus, Carter's magic couldn't kill Percy, even if Carter said it was supposed to. So even If Percy didn't use his powers, he would've defeated Carter anyway, especially since Carter's powers couldn't really do anything to stop Percy. On the other hand, Percy's powers can kill Carter, but Percy wasn't using his powers to full extent. I mean, Percy summoned a gigantic Hurricane and destroyed an entire neighborhood and defeated the Crocodile. But Percy only summoned 20 foot waves against Carter. Imagine if Percy used his powers to full extent, like summoning Hurricanes etc.
