Whoosh!
An incoming wand that aid towards his head, the Floor of Darkness was doing its job by protecting him from it. The Keeper wielded the sa brutal force it had earlier, its eyes now brimming with malice as it relentlessly continued its assault.
However, the strength of the Nightmare had grown to the point where it could effortlessly crush the walls of darkness that Cesar had built. As a result, the effort of exerting out and wasting essence continued to dwindle Cesar's reserves, sucking them dry.
The replicated eyes that Cesar had gathered from the book still took out a substantial reserve from his tank. Still, it wasn't enough to take a large amount like it did by freezing the ti earlier.
Swoosh—!
"Fuck!"
Hovering through the air, desperately wishing that the Dive Period would comnce right away, Cesar started dodging those attacks.
After all, that was the real goal.
The mont he ntioned buying ti for the group to retrieve Jeremiah was an impulsive decision, driven by the urgency of their dwindling ti. It wasn't really a foolproof plan but just spoken out of a whim.
Besides, Cesar wanted to test if the Null and Purge facets of Jeremiah were enough to stop the Keeper from doing its actions.
Spell caster creatures are much worse than brute force attacks but if soone can render their attacks using these spells, their chances will be heightened exponentially.
But it seed help wasn't coming yet.
Whoosh—!
Hovering through the air to avoid the incoming hit, Cesar mainly lowers the consumption of his Floor of Darkness by limiting the area of effect.
His actions weren't deed progressive, nonetheless. He was already struggling when blocking the attack earlier before the new appearance of the Keeper, but now that changed, even the smash of its wand was enough to crush every wall he had built to protect himself.
Now he was rely waiting for a chance to pass by or another opening he could exploit that could possibly turn the tables.
Swoosh—!
But the relentless swinging of the bat was enough to destroy them and put his plan b to the test which is to run mid-air while using the floor of darkness to either land or hop into.
"I got it now…"
Amidst the chaos, Cesar noticed sothing about the Keeper that pressed him to voice his thoughts audibly, searching for any possible weaknesses he could exploit.
"Is it or does the Keeper seem so exhausted from the last ti he cast three spells altogether in dozens of seconds? It was using its raw strength for now because it was trying to recuperate its void powers to eliminate?"
Cedeit comnted with a snarky remark, "I thought you already knew but I can only agree to that as well, not certainly, however. Your words are the only logical thing you made up to this situation without rejecting anything which is why I'm agreeing to it,"
Cedeit watched the incoming abomination that walked through the floor and swiftly appeared right behind him as Cedeit finally gave one final reminder.
"You better be fast and whatever you can to keep the Nightmare at bay to unable cast a spell."
"I know that!"
Cesar clicked his tongue as he used another set of stacking walls to defend himself but eventually, the Keeper seed to have enough of his antics that at the end of its purplish stick that belonged to his right hand, sothing shot out towards him.
Whoosh—!
Evading the deafening blast that resembled a purplish void, Cesar sensed the sa thrown object from earlier returning like a locked missile, now aid directly at him.
Whoosh—!
It beca twice then thrice, until it beca ten as these purplish rockets that ca from the purplish stick.
Swoosh—!
Yet as if he was standing through the floating period while keeping tabs on the changes in the library, Cesar was able to pull off the movent of dodging these nonstop missiles that went on his way.
Using the floor of darkness as a land while being in the air, Cesar swiftly directed its gaze at the Keeper and sprinted forward at it.
Find adventures at m_v l|e-
He had enough of running around from this Nightmare.
'Think about it!'
Cesar began to visualize the three concepts inside his head, currently undertaking or hoping for so sort of breakthrough as he faced the danger at his front.
If there's ever the ti to do it now, Cesar knew it should be the right ti.
Having a breakthrough at his rapid progression with Cedeit helping him will exponentially increase the chances of defeating The Keeper.
Whoosh—!
'Don't think about the essence of consumption or not accomplishing it! Focus on conceptualizing!'
Seeing an incoming wand lunging in its way, Cesar heavily dodged it by leaping before concentrating his essence in the palm of his right hand.
'Create a fuse at this fire that will serve as a trigger… Imagine it… ponder about it!'
Feeling his hand shaking due to the intense breakthrough he was willing, more like forcing at this point, Cesar finally saw the results in his palm.
There, a tiny ghastly greyish ember was burning through the palm of his hand. It was flickering and burning, even noticeable but the fire isn't able to sustain enough to stay alive any longer.
"Ahh…"
His efforts were fruitless.
The artificial fire disappeared.
"You are doing it wrong,"
The phrase echoing in Cesar's mind resonated through his entire body, compelling him to halt as two of the Nightmare's wands approached, aiming to constrict him in their grasp.
Thud—!
"Argh!"
Struggling to keep up with the wand that continued plowing him in the middle, Cesar let out an angry scream.
'Have I been wrong!? I thought I was on the right track! Damn it!'
Feeling the pressure mounting on both of his sides, Cesar's walls of darkness kept breaking down due to the pressure mounting nonstop.
Crash—!
No matter how many tis he replaced the broken walls, The Keeper was fast on pounding its wand to it relentlessly, giving Cesar no ti to breathe.
"Fucking—"
Crack—!
Cesar started to visualize the paper figurines but sothing complicated like when the artificial fire was much easier didn't co by easily.
Crack—!
Suddenly, Cesar heard a familiar sound from sowhere, but he couldn't divert his attention from it while his focus remained solely on protecting himself.
Only then did he notice that a glowing rope had been tethered, clinging onto his abdon before he was strongly pulled backward by the reeling that ca from his back.
"Purge!"
Leaping down from above, the tattooed Jeremiah aid his spear at the Keeper and extended his other available hand to activate his first facet.
Pointing two of his fingers at the Nightmare, Jeremiah then muttered silently,
"Null,"
