Gladio Sword Novels & Stories

As soon as Claude laid his eyes on the spear, he recognized its model. It was a Gladiator Spear, also known as a type of javelin or short spear. Something from the Old World, before Systems and the Tangent's. When man was more often pitted against man than Monster. The spear was jet black and shorter than the stadard spears you see today but the blade was longer-- and thicker. The spear was practical, deadly, and Claude knew it.

It’s more commonly known as a glaive. This round, there were no more weak gladiators, so she didn’t dare underestimate her opponent as opted for the safer option of advancing slowly while calculating her opponent’s pace. Her opponent finally picked up his heavy weapon, crooked his head to the left, then the right to stretch it before advancing with speed towards her. BOOM!! He attacked first as he stabbed forward with his weapon. She ducked without hesitation, as her 2 light swords stabbed forward also from another angle in retaliation.

She turns her attention to George, she grips his shoulder, “Whatever he tries to pull, you have to let it play out.” He nods, then looks over to where Solomon was returning followed by the guard. He walks to the centre of the ring and swings the new weapon around. He’d chosen a long weapon, it looked a bit like a spear but the head of it was wide, and looked a bit like a sword, the other end had a spiked pommel. Nate stands and leans into her ear, “That’s a glaive. Basic tactic is not to let him cut you, but it’s also a lot like the bo-staff. The blade could cut through your staff though, so be careful blocking.” She half-smiles and nods, George stands and leans into her other ear,

We were joined soon by Anthonier and Hilra who also appeared surprised at the sight. But while Xialara tried to check for a pulse in her neck and base of her thumb. Something else caught my eye. The ruby colored gem at the hilt of the sword was now a clear diamond. No sign of red. I picked it up by its blade and examined it under the moonlight to check for any cracks or possible leakages. There were none. The red color had just vanished. My blood was gone.
