Nether Swordspear

The Nether Swordspear is Emperor Naeus' weapon. He forged it by fusing a blade to the tip of Abigail Crysteffor's Ruby Thorn after she died. 
Naeus made the Swordspear during "Hard Pill to Swallow". The False Pig King snapped the hilt off when they were dueling,Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (November 14, 2018). "in this scene the pig king breaks his swordspear". Discord message. but Naeus was able to drive the blade into his heart. He slayed the Ender Dragon with the reconstructed staff in "Ender Wish" and used it to behead Ceris in "Cold as Ice: The Remake". Naeus was seen wielding the Swordspear in "You Can Do Better" shortly after the Second Battle of the Far Plains. However, Naeus will most likely acquire a new weapon over the coming episodes, as his heavy new Netherite body makes him less agile.Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (September 27, 2021). "Yes. Since his new body will be heavier, he won’t be as agile as before so the swordspear may not be his best weapon." Discord message.
