After the ribbons engulfed the chamber, Jack found himself standing in a void similar to Neon’s situation. Accompanied by the Heart floating behind him and the Abyssal woman approaching him. However the void he was in was a violent red, as if displaying his silent opponent’s rage towards him.
Jack: So you made a void around us, no doubt you plan to just destroy this entire area and destroy the Heart after. A pretty solid plan,
Jack: Jack: If you don't kick the bucket first!
//Barrier: Omega//
He put up a barrier of his own before the void got to chip away at him. And brandished his scythe to attack. The intruder didn't hesitate either, rushing in to quickly end this fight.
Her arm quickly tore open another rift but, instead of a small strip barely reaching beyond her arm like her previous strikes, it spread like a vast wave covering the floor. Before the attack reached Jack he launched himself up into the air using the darkness filling the insides of his cloak.
But Rifts besides being sharp enough to cut through most anything that touched its edges, their main purpose was to transport things. In the moment he was airborne a large spire of grey stone immediately shot out of the colossal rift below him.
His quick reflexes allowed him to just barely maneuver out of the way of the pillar that shot into the incalculable heights of this void.
He landed onto the side of the pillar, the shadows beneath his feet allowing him to stand on this vertical surface with ease. However the Intruder’s assault was far from over and wasn't' planning on letting Jack unleash another one of his devastating attacks.
Right behind him a second rift tore itself open, releasing another pointed spire. But this one he couldn’t dodge, only barely catching the force of it with his cloak. If this were anyone else they might have been skewered or maimed by the pillar that appeared faster than a bullet. But Jack, he quickly changed the properties of the magical darkness in his cloak to Deep Darkness. A special darkness magic of his that could hold objects inside it, but also having a strange effect of easily taking blunt impacts that strike his cloak. Although it easily absorbed most of the impact of the Spire instead of him, he was dragged along with it, until..
The intruder saw her chance, She summoned two more rifts that fired even more pillars, all of them precisely colliding at the end of the speeding Pillar where Jack was defending himself.
The impact sent a massive shockwave through the void, Causing all the towers of stone from her Rifts to shatter and collapse, leaving no trace of Jack. The intruder gave one last hateful glace at where Jack was before turning back towards her true objective- the Heart, Jack was tasked to defend.
Intruder:
But before she could reach it, a thin line split the dust and debris that covered the void after the collapsing pillars fell. The Intruder instinctively covered herself in the rifts that adorned her back creating a shell that would warp away near any attack.
//RIFT GUARD//
But against Guardian magic. That might as well have been made of paper.
The Shell was instantly bisected
Jack then emerged from the dust cloud holding his scythe glowing brilliantly from a recent attack. His body mostly unharmed from having hidden his whole body within his cloaks’ Deep Darkness, before the impact which also hid his presence from his attacker until the moment he struck.
But as he approached the broken shell he realized the intruder had used the rifts inside it to escape before the lethal blow struck. Now she was hidden somewhere in this void capable of striking at any moment. Jack then decided to let her come to him so he stopped and focused.
Jack: There
As he muttered those words another pillar flew at him from behind which was easily dodged, but as he was dodging it a long jagged Rift shot out from behind it straight towards his throat.
//Grand Skewer//
Where the sharp rift stopped and shuddered. The dust then began to settle and when it was clear the Area’s ground was completely covered with magical darkness that flowed from his cloak. And many long spikes full of guardian magic had shot out of it piercing through the Rift blade at several points and the intruder’s torso as well.
Jack: Coming after the Heart was your downfall.
Jack: Like us, The hearts were meant to scatter the Abyss, A guardian drawing on their hearts power- is a death sentence to any one of you.
The glass-like face of the Intruder cracked, and the area where the spike pierced her exploded with an overwhelming light.
When the light faded- she was gone, the void she created, and her rifts gone as well.
Leaving just Jack, and the Heart alone in the chamber almost as if the battle had never happened.
