TRX and the group were still floating in the water, but, for some reason, after defeating that creature, the darkness around them disappeared and the firmament could be seen... Well, outer space.
- What happened?
These were the first words of TRX, who was very confused with the last events.
- I was traumatized, that's what happened? - answered Roundy, who had a frightened look on his face as he looked at the stars.
- Is that all? Mmm... You're right, before we couldn't articulate any words and now we speak fluently in a language we don't know... But it's very convenient since we can express ourselves better, similar to the way they did it. - replied Pointy, who was looking around. - But the question here is: what is this place and why is it so gloomy?
- And how do we breathe? I don't see a tree. - said Blocky. - 'That's pretty weird, isn't it?
- Yes, but the thing is also: who was that monster? - said TRX, thoughtfully. - It said something about God is going to fall and stuff about a Hero, didn't it? What did it mean?
While they were discussing those things, a cloud appeared out of nowhere. It was quite large and seemed to be approaching the group fast. Pointy noticed this and said:
- Watch out, something is coming...

Everyone turned to look at the strange cloud. Blocky began to create an ice platform over the water. They all climbed onto it. Then she created a sword for TRX and a spear for herself.
The strange cloud suddenly came down. On it stood a humanoid monster with rotting skin, which had a strange reddish color. Its eye sockets were empty, it also seemed to be connected to the cloud by its spine. You could clearly see that it had serious wounds, but it felt no pain, it didn't care about them. One of his arms had a sickle that was stained with blood and the monster had a disturbing smile.

- So I finally have the honor of meeting you.
These were the words of that monster, which began to approach at an enormous speed in order to cut someone in the group with his sickle, which he swung from one side to the other.
Everyone dodged the monster's attack.
- Hmmm... It was to be expected, my speed is nothing compared to yours... You already defeated one of my companions, so I don't have to hold back.
As soon as he said that, a bunch of bone blades started shooting towards the group from his back. They couldn't dodge them all, so TRX and the others had minor cuts that didn't bleed. Roundy proceeded to approach the others to heal them one by one.
TRX realized that this individual's skin was much more delicate than the previous one, so she decided to use her super strike in combination with Blocky's... But they needed Roundy's help in order to be thrown to where the monster was and Roundy was still healing himself.
TRX and Blocky told Roundy what they planned to do, while they were doing this Pointy shot towards the monster, who was doing something weird with his fingers while... convulsing.
Pointy thought he was helpless for doing that, so he went to blow up in its face. He did so, damaged him badly, and his cloud disappeared.
The monster fell into the water and began to melt, making the most horrible noises.
Everyone was frightened by this event. When it had practically submerged, out of nowhere a great mass of flesh rose up. It was that monster, still clinging to this world... TRX and Blocky tore it apart using their double super strike.
The monster gave another terrible scream as it disappeared. After that the water began to evaporate rapidly around it and then all the water evaporated. The water level dropped and clouds began to appear.
- Seriously, what are we doing and why is it that every time we defeat someone more elements appear in this place? - wondered Pointy, who had just regenerated.
Everyone was still in doubt, what had they been sent to this place for? What was this "Hero" thing?
