With a loud rumble the room changes again. This time it takes the shape of a pentagon. As soon as the rumbling stops, one character appears in each corner of the room. The five all hear a loud voice speak with barely contained excitement.
"Welcome to the white room. The only way out of this room is to be the last one alive out of the five of you. If more than one is still alive by one hour of the start of the fight, all of you will die. But before you fight, let's introduce you." The voice starts with the introductions in a clockwise fashion.
"In the first corner, Christopher Wrymwood from the "Demon Logic" universe."
Chris is a Lich. He is nothing but bleached white bones inscribed with red sigils and runes. He is wilding a long dragon-bone staff.
"In the second corner, Trampas William Jefferson from the "KFC" universe."
Trampas is a young average-looking Chinese man with a mullet. He is wearing a sleeveless black Tang suit and armed with a hunting knife.
"In the third corner, Lea from the "Solarite" universe."
Lea is a pale-skinned teen. She got long black hair and is of average height. She looks severely underweight and wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt. The clothes don't fit her well, hanging off her malnourished body. She is holding a pocket knife in her right arm.
"In the fourth corner, Erevan Burkwood from the "Mythgate: The Siege Mage" universe."
Erevan is a young man of average height. He is lean, has curly black hair, and a black scar that runs from the ridge of his nose across his cheek. He has a green cloak, brown pants, and bits of metal armor on. From pauldrons to greaves, bracers, gauntlets, and a helmet covering his face. Only his eyes peer through. He is armed with a blunderbuss and carries a 400-pound ballista.
"In the fifth corner, Sylph from the "Silver, Sand, and Silken Wings" universe."
Sylph is a small dragon, her shoulders reach the lower stomach of an average human. She is very muscular and her wings are crippled to the point of being useless. Her scales are pale blue.

"The fight will start in three, two, one. Paint the room red!" The five can move now.
"Do you really expect me to fight these monsters?!" Screamed Trampas in anger while pointing at Sylph and Chris. "Why won't you join us in the fight mister announcer? Ha? You coward" Added Trampas, kicking and punching the walls. He does not get an answer to his questions.
To the right, Chris starts to cast a spell. He lifts his staff in the air and mumbles something in an odd language. The runes on his body start to glow blood red. Sylph runs to him trying to get him before he can cast the spell. Before she gets to him, Chris lifts his hand and starts to levitate higher and higher. He keeps casting his spell, the glow of his runes getting brighter slowly. Still not giving up, Sylph takes a few steps back. Then she sprints and jumps. She managed to reach Chris and bite one of his leg bones. As she falls down, Chris's leg is yanked out of its socket with a loud crack.

Meanwhile, Erevan starts to set up his ballista as Lea rushes him. He tries to bash her with his blunderbuss but she gracefully evades his attack and counters with a stab to his gut. As she keeps on stabbing him again and again, he turns his rifle to her stomach. With teeth clenched in pain, he pulls the trigger. This time he hits, blowing her guts to pieces in one loud shoot. Lea gracelessly falls on her back from the force of the blast. She screams in pain but is still alive. Crying, she gets her hands to what is left of her belly and starts to slowly heal herself with her demonic powers.
Erevan can't have that. He picks her pocket knife and magically makes it grow to the size of a long dagger. With slow steps, leaving puddles of blood behind him, he gets to Lea and steps on her still wounded gut. Before she can even scream, he stabs her in the chest. Using his right arm like a hammer, he drills the knife deeper into her chest and gets to her heart, finally killing her. While Lea breathes her last breaths, a demonic presence flees her dying body in search of a new host.
"You are a strong one Erevan. Yet with those wounds you are doomed to die, wasted potential. Let me in, and I will heal you, make you stronger than ever before." Says the demon in a seductive voice.
Erevan looks at his bleeding gut, he knows the voice is right. With a faint whisper, he says "I let you in".
On the other side of the battlefield, Sylph tries to get to Chris again, but he is too high up for her now. Cursing her crippled wings, she bites her paw. With her own blood and her water magic, she can get him. Before she can do anything, a ballista shot hits her in the head from the other side of the room. As soon as the shot hits, a blast of frost spreads from it. It covers Sylph in ice and freezes her head solid. She falls to the floor with a loud crack of the ice.
The shock wave of the shot almost made Chris fall but he managed to stay balanced. Seeing an opportunity to enhance his grand spell, he lands near Sylph. Still chanting he breaks her head into little frozen shards with the bottom of his staff. Waving it above her body, small parts of the ice start to melt, and warm streams of blood flow from those little spots. The blood forms a vortex around the staff, then Chris lifts it high in the air and the blood explodes all over the room. The runes on his body glow as bright as the sun now, his spell is finally complete.
From seemingly random spots on the floor semi-transparent red revenants rise. An insect girl with four arms and a hole in her mantis-like face. A headless noble with a fancy long coat and a rapier in his right arm. A young skinny teen with her intestines hanging from her gut and a pocket knife in her hand. More and more of them pop up until all of the dead former combatants' souls are up, ready to fight again.
All this time Trampas looked at his powerful opponents in horror, ready to defend himself. From the corner of his eye, he sees what looks like a very cracked brick slowly rolling his way. "What the fack is that?" He says, barely containing his laughter. With his guard down the brick attacks, launching itself with force into his face, turning it into a red mash.
Meanwhile, Erevan fully healed, stops focusing on reloading his ballista. Lea was the closest one to him as she appeared right near her fresh corpse. She leaped at her killer ready for stabbing, but she was too sluggish in revenant form. Erevan kicked her so hard she hit the wall. Lea just stands up like nothing happened.
"You need to slay the necromancer." Says the demon inside Erevan's head.
"Yes, I can see that."
Erevan continues to reload his ballista with telekinesis, only slower as he needs to focus on fighting the vengeful spirits. The insect girl and a headless paladin with a longsword charge at Erevan. with a bash from his rifle, he gets the paladin but the insect girl grubs his left hand with two of her arms. With her two other arms, the alien breaks his arm in half. Erevan groans in pain and kicks the girl off of him.
Lea was already back for more. Erevan was just about to kick her again as a crossbow bolt hits him in the gut. Looking at the shooter he spots a guy with a slit throat reloading his crossbow. Distracted, Lea stabs him in the gut again. The other starts to close in on him. panicking he wildly bashes Lea with his blunderbuss. It only makes his bleeding worse and his vision loses focus.
"I CAN'T LET YOU DIE YET." Screamed the demon with conviction in her voice.
In his weakened state, Erevan gets possessed completely by the demon for a few seconds. With unnatural speed, the demon reloads the ballista, imbuing its shot with powerful blue and purple flame. Looking over the red revenants, she spots their master. Chris is not moving to focus on maintaining his powerful spell. The demon takes the shot as the spirits close in on her.
Flying across the room, the fiery shot hits Chris right in his ribcage. The fire consumes the Lich within a colorful explosion. As soon as their master was gone, the revenants crumble into red ash. Regaining control Erevan falls to the floor.
"Congratulation Erevan, you are the winner of the third round." Says the excited voice as confetti starts to fill the room. "Good luck in the next fight."
"I will fight to be free until I breathe my last breath or until all of you are dead!" Says Erevan through grinding teeth.
Erevan and the bodies of the others disappeared.
All that is left is the blood from the three previous battles, painting the white room red.
