I think it is because the fire is fading that the souls of every lord of cinder, including the Chosen Undead and possibly the Bearer of the Curse alongside Gwyn and Co. combined into one mighty being whose soul purpose was to guard the fading flame, most likely since the souls of all these cinders don't want the fire to die, considering how thin it has become by the time of DS3. Whether they fear the dark is unknown, but I don't think anyone would have expected the souls of all the lords to have combined so maybe that is why there was no build up. If you have played Bloodborne and fought the Moon Presence, then you would know that there was little build up to that boss also, the fight was very sudden there
