Battle[]

Let's see how you fare Horseman. With only two legs to carry you!
— The Gladiator taunts War

Following an exchange of taunts, The Gladiator engaged War in battle atop Ruin. He was eventually outmatched, despite being atop the steed, and was dismounted by War and tossed across the arena, disarmed as well as being stunned from the attack. War however was not going to take advantage of his weakened and disarmed state, kicking the Gladiator back his sword to continue their duel.

The Gladiator taunted War throughout the fight, using both physical strength and magic to his advantage, However in the end War was victorious. Too weathered and beaten to continue, the gladiator began to slow. Keeping true to what he had told the Gladiator, War severed both of the Gladiator's legs, then by grabbing him via his collar, he looked the Gladiator in the eyes as he impaled him upon Chaoseater, killing him before he tossed him to the ground.
