[ That arcing blade cuts only air and earth, splitting old concrete into fragments. It shouldn't surprise him, considering he's seen what the man nearly single-handedly bring a Behemoth to the ground, with absolutely no concern registering in his expression when it tried to throw him off. What does surprise him is how he then uses him as a living springboard, throwing the Shield further off balance with a grunt. ]
Ugh! Shit--
[ Gladio twists around with too much haste, bringing his shield arm around to block the oncoming hit, but it leaves him down on one knee and tipped just too far off balance to recover quickly. The blow staggers him, and the shield vanishes. Already he's breathing hard as he grasps his weapon in both hands. Despite the clear disadvantage, it's kind of exciting facing off with such a daunting challenge. Gladio's getting pumped. ]
