Cesar was immediately alerted to the creature on his back, feeling its overwhelming presence—a force that would bring any low-level individual to their knees. Reluctant as he might be, he knows he has to confront this presence, one far greater than the Nightmare Nicotara.
Cesar then looked back.
And was astonished at how humungous this creature was.
Easily towering the Guardian Shelves thrice their size, the creature behind Cesar had three vertical purplish eyes at its hideous face. Draped in a silk ankle-length garment with long sleeves and a mixture of dark purple and dark bluish colors, the creature had a colossal purplish necklace placed around his neck and beads of purplish stones with stone engravings on them.
In each of its two hands, with ten fingers apiece, it held an intricate wand. In its left hand was a dark, elongated staff topped with a sphere, a purplish eye set at its center. In its right was an ordinary-looking wand, yet it seemed to glitch and distort in the eyes of anyone who dared to look at it.
Cesar felt shivers as his eyes widened at the sudden realization of who the enemy was on his back.
"Keeper Of The—"
"Void!"

Both Cedeit and Cesar shouted at the same time, both weren't expecting this behemoth was just right behind their backs.
"Hmph..."
Seeing a puny creature right in front, the Keeper of the Void gazed at it for a moment, trying to analyze its strength before ending it by pointing its left wand at Cesar.
"Shit!"
Cesar swiftly donned the bloodshot eye tiara atop his head as the Floor of Darkness materialized beneath him and the Keeper of the Void. He steadied his Source of Light, gripping it firmly between his hands in preparation.
Chatter—!
Enchanting incomprehensible language that instantly bled Cesar's ears by merely hearing it, The Keeper was charging its attack while the orb of the wand intensified.
Whoosh—!
As they continued their way up, Cesar willed up the darkness to form a wall, making it durable and steadfast at the point of impact where he would receive the attack.
He was merely guessing where it would come but he had no guarantee that he would be able to defend himself.
'I couldn't avoid it fuck!'
Cesar cursed in desperation as he continued to build up walls to cover himself while the Keeper continued to energize its attack.
The two just met for the first yet one side was already trying to defend against an incoming attack coming from the other that would surely bring harm if he wasn't ready.
'Not enough!'
The Nightmare began to wave its hand, and as it did, reality itself started to tear, revealing a swirling, purplish void that manifested before Cesar and everyone around, casting an ominous glow.
"Can your power take it down?"
Cesar asked as he watched the impending doom that was coming his way, this time he wasn't alone to witness it.
"God damn it...! I knew it was too early to face it," Vin muttered in distaste, not really directing to Cesar before he sighed and clicked his tongue.
Whoosh—!
The Keeper drifted through the air in a rhythmic dance, waving its hand as if performing a ritual for the impending attack aimed at the two of them. When Cesar caught a glimpse of Vin's reaction to his remark, his heart sank.
Suddenly, after a few seconds of pause, Vin spoke through the air.
"I'm not confident of defeating that abomination even if we trained for many years..." Vin paused as he slowly raised his hand up, doing a flicking position, "But it's better now or never!"
With a flick of his hand, Vin caused the purplish void surrounding them to fracture, forming cracks that soon shattered completely, revealing newcomers who stepped forward to join the fray.
They all entered, releasing all of their powers that had been readied beforehand.
"Hellfire!"
One side of the Purplish Emptiness was replaced with fiery red fire.
"Sky Piercer!"
On the other side of the slowly cascading cheap copy of Void, one giant greenish sword appeared threatening enough to the Keeper shot towards the same Nightmare.
"Flock of Ravens!"
On the back of the Nightmare, an arrowhead of ravens flew and dived towards the Keeper, aiming to end all of it with one shot.
"Suppress!"
Above the Nightmare where one of the cracked realities was opened, an imaginary hand closed towards the Keeper which was also targeting him.
"Dissimilation!"
And underneath the part of the Nightmare, words contained in a circle went their way toward the Keeper to entrap him.
Whoosh—!
Everyone who entered the cracked realities unleashed their own attacks, all aimed in a single direction—straight at the Keeper of the Void.
"Die!"
