Description
I can’t think of a better name than Phantom Gladiator for this imposing supernatural being. I’ll search through my books because I believe I’ve encountered it before. Here are my notes:
Like all specters, the Phantom Gladiator is only vulnerable to a weapon imbued with the Time Rune. In life, it must have required immense effort to move that enormous body. Now, as a ghost, it never tires.
I knew I had seen them before! After searching through my books, I found the information. The Phantom Gladiators were once assassins in the service of a nefarious Thaumaturgist cult that, fortunately, is now extinct. This explains why Aecides has summoned them to track down Melcart. I’ll continue my research later. For now, here are my notes:
The Gladiator wields its enormous blade with ease and can stun you with a powerful headbutt in close combat. Exercise caution when approaching.
Additionally, the blade has formidable blocking power.
These beings were malevolent in life and are even more so now. Aran was right to insist on dealing with Aecides before heading to the Royal Palace. I will be relieved when they all return to the Hell they should never have escaped. Here are my final notes:
Be cautious when they move away, as they seek distance to launch magical attacks.
It is crucial to dodge these magical attacks and close the distance to force close combat. Only then can they be defeated.
