Fallen Commander's Vengeance

The gnawing feeling intensified in Kieran's heart with each elapsing second and though it no longer caused him anxiety, Kieran's alertness had tripled, bordering on the edge of fanatic paranoia.

But, could it be called paranoid if his instinct were justified and keenly honed. In this aspect, Kieran was no different from a beast in the wild, using his gut to guide his actions.

Roughly two minutes passed after the fall of the mightiest Fallen Gladiator before Kieran was given notice of the next round's beginning.

But unlike the two rounds before, this message this time was bleak. 

〈System: The third round of the «Immemorial Gladiator Trial» has begun. Savage, ruthless and driven by the promise of rewarding victory, the army of unrelenting warriors shall stir the bloody nightmare.〉

'Army?' 

Kieran grimaced, his lips sinking into a darkened frown.
