Holy Gladiator

The tale of a priestess turned gladiator after a raid on the village, resulting in her and her compatriots being kidnapped with any other surviving townsfolk to the duke's colosseum.
There they are forced to fight or die trying, some not even getting that chance.
Death is around the corner at any missteps.
Perhaps there is a way out of this.
Will the priestess become too corrupted by the gore? Or will she find a way out of this?

A challenge I received from a friend, the problem is that the challenge itself is a spoiler, so it'll be placed all the way at the end in case you're too nosey to find out yourself. Be warned there's a good lot of gore, some even drawn out in art pieces, so if you can't look at gore either I wouldn't suggest reading it, though the art pieces themselves aren't good.
