Unaware of the circumstances outside of his ring, Nero now stood with his eyes closed, and the scythe held at an angle before him within his battle ring. Following his completion of the Fifth Stage, he had only moments ago completed the Sixth Stage, further consolidating his understanding of the Reaper Stances' second level.
Suddenly, Nero's eye opened, as he stared at the hazy scene around him, listening to the rustling sounds that came from all directions. He could vaguely see a few silhouettes shuffling about at speeds no inferior to his own with ominous lights from their eyes.
'They're coming.' Nero thought as his grip on his scythe's handle grew tighter, its edge shining in a cold ray as a solemn look appeared on his face.
