The City of Oblivion was a beautiful place that was affected by "holy" energy. Everything within a few kilometers of it, be it flowers, trees, rocks, or mountains, all looked like they were in winter. It was also a place that had a special meaning to the entire world of Final Fantasy and to the main character of Final Fantasy — Claude.
It has a special significance to the Final Fantasy World because Forgotten City has another name – the Land of Restraint. It is a sacred and happy place passed down from generation to generation among the ancient race that once existed in the Final Fantasy World – the Setra Clan. It is said that as long as you come here, you can get the blessings of the planet and obtain supreme happiness.
For Claude, this is the place where the people he once loved died. It was here that Safilos, who was completely affected by Genova cells, killed the last descendant of the Ancient race, Iris Gainsborough of the Setra Clan with his "authentic" sword. At the same time, this is also the place where Iris Gainsborough's body sleeps, and it is a place of pain that Claude is not willing to come to often until now.
At this moment, in the center of the Land of Oblivion, where there was a lake and a giant tree, the other two members of Safilos' consciousness body, Cardanjo and Yazi, were standing and sitting, one standing and one sitting.
Not far in front of them, twenty children with more or less black spots called the Star Mark Disease gathered there, looking at them nervously and fearfully.
"Where is Ross?" The silver-haired youth, Kadanjo, who was sitting on the protruding root of the giant tree, asked Yaz, who had a head of silvery long hair that reached his waist, with his elbows resting on his knees and his hands clasped together in front of his mouth.
"I don't know, the phone has been unreachable." Yazi replied.
"Damn it, something happened at this time." Cardanjo stood up from the root and said angrily.
Just as his voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared behind the defenseless Yazi, grabbed Yazi's head with one hand, and released an electric light. It crawled all over Yazi's body.
"Ah ah ah ah ah …" Under the electric shock, even Yazi, who was a split body, couldn't help but scream.
On the side, the children who had been startled by Yazi's scream immediately backed away instinctively. They carefully looked at Cadanjo, the screaming Yazi, and the stranger who had suddenly appeared behind Yazi.
"Who are you?" Cardanjo asked with a frown.
"Sei Itō." Sei Itō smiled as he unfolded a circular Mid-style magic array under his feet and sealed Yaz in the same way as he imprisoned Ross.
"You're from Shinra?" Cardanjo, who didn't really care if Yazi was dead or alive, asked.
"They don't have the ability to hire me," Sei Itō replied disdainfully as he strengthened the seal to accelerate the shrinking of the crystal.
"Then what's your motive?" Cardanjo asked again, not believing that Sei Itō wasn't a member of Shenluo.
"To help you." Sei Itō smiled.
At this time, the blue triangular crystal that sealed Yaz finally shrank to the size of an adult's fist. Sei Itō held it in his hand.
"What do you mean?" Cardanjou frowned.
"Let him come back." Sei Itō, who took out the crystal that sealed Ross, held a crystal in each hand and collided them together, replied in a low voice.
"Pa!" At this time, there was a soft sound and the crystals that sealed Ross and Yazi, respectively, instantly changed and merged into one crystal. Ross and Yazi were like two small insects that couldn't stretch out, squeezing painfully into the narrow space inside the crystal.
"He can't come back without Mom's help," Cardanjo said.
"Here you are." Sei Itō didn't hesitate. He immediately took off the rag ball hanging behind his waist and threw it to Cardanjo along with the small lead metal box wrapped inside.
"Pa!" Cardanjo raised his hand and took the rag ball in front of him. He removed the cover of the rag ball and exposed the lead box inside.
"Mom!" Cardanjo cried excitedly.
"Let him come back." Sei Itō reminded.
"Okay." Cardanjo, who was just like him, agreed happily and opened the seal of the lead box, revealing the green liquid inside, and inserted it into his body together with the lead box.
"Uh-huh ~" With a muffled groan, Cardanjo inserted the lead box into his body.
At the same time. Sei Itō found that the other two missing bodies in the crystal in his hand, Yaz and Ross, suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared from the sealed crystal in a mysterious way. Obviously, in the return of Safilos, Yaz and Ross, who were split bodies, were inevitably summoned back and reintegrated with Cardanjo as the main body, that is, Safilos.
Only a little more than a minute had passed. Cardanjo, who had been slightly lowering his head, raised his head again. But at this time, the face that came into Sei Itō's eyes was no longer Cardanjo's face, but another person whose figure, clothes, and hair had changed significantly at some point – Safilos.
"At your invitation, I'm back." Safilos, with a handsome face and waist-length silver hair, looked at Sei Itō and said softly.
"Nice to see you, Manager Safilos." Sei Itō, who had crushed the useless sealed crystal with his palm, looked back at Safilos and smiled.
"Tell me your purpose." Safilos, who didn't give Sei Itō any face, asked directly.
"To destroy you and return hope to the world." Sei Itō, who slightly restrained his expression, turned his hand and summoned the Divine Blade – Celestial Clouds. He said softly.
"Hope … What a nostalgic word." Safilos smiled faintly. Then, he clenched his left hand, and the almost two-meter-long wild tachi – Masamune – appeared in Safilos's hand. He looked at Sei Itō and continued, "That depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
As soon as he finished speaking, Safilos's body flashed. Suddenly appearing in front of Ito Sei, a flash – modified – Xiao Ye Yu's swordsmanship was displayed.
In an instant, other than the first horizontal slash where the obvious pattern could be seen, the subsequent moves were executed smoothly without leaving any traces for Safilos to figure out. However, Sei Itō was no ordinary person. His reflexes were on par with Safilos's. Almost as soon as Safilos changed his move, Sei Itō blocked it.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang …" A series of intense metal clanging sounds came from the center of the two who were shrouded in countless sword gleams.
"Clang!" In the end, a crisp sound was heard. The two who had forcefully clashed with each other leaped back at the same time. At the same time they leaped back, a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread out from where the two of them clashed. The water in the pool splashed up, and the ice crystal trees in the surroundings were broken and smashed into pieces.
"Grandmaster-level sword technique …" Sei Itō, who had regained his footing, said in awe.
Before he could attack again, more than ten Safilos appeared around Sei Itō under the reflection of the water curtain. They attacked Sei Itō again at the same time.
"Sword Aura – Changing – Rain of Reflections!"
The principle of this move was to use the sword aura to shake up the surrounding water curtain, and then use the water curtain to create a fake image of Safilos to attack. At the same time, the real body would be hidden in the water curtain and water, and launch a threatening attack at the enemy at the right time. With Safilos's strength, as long as there was enough water, it would not be a problem for him to create more than a hundred water curtains at once!
Moreover, the thing that surprised the Human Skull Vine the most was that the created water curtains contained Safilos's unique sword aura, and they also had a special calming effect. They were extremely close to the real image, and it was difficult to tell which was real and which was fake.
Seeing this, Sei Itō raised his sword horizontally in front of him. Then, he spun around, and a huge 360-degree sword aura shot out from the Celestial Clouds, slashing at the surrounding water curtains and Safilos's image.
However, at this moment, Safilos, who was holding the hilt of his sword with both hands, quickly fell from the sky with his head down and feet up.
"Hell's Gate!"
Sei Itō, who did not plan to take the attack head-on, flashed and disappeared from where he was, appearing in the air behind Safilos.
"Boom!" In the next second, Safilos's Hell's Gate attack landed heavily on the ground. The huge force of the fall directly broke the small platform and the giant tree in the center of the pool and sent them flying, creating a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. The powerful shock wave and the sharp stone pillars formed by the force of the fall exploded like lotus flowers.
"Flash!"
Not to be outdone, Sei Itō swung his sword horizontally. A huge fiery red sword light that was several meters long immediately shot out from the Celestial Clouds and landed on the ground in an instant, creating a huge crack that was several meters long, half a meter wide, and three to four meters deep on the ground that had already become extremely damaged.
"Boom!" A huge explosion immediately reverberated throughout the Forgotten Capital. A large amount of smoke and dust rose from the ground, obscuring Safilos's figure.
After about five to six seconds, as the smoke and dust dispersed, a pair of black wings that looked like those of a fallen angel grew on his back. Safilos, who had activated the Winged Angel state, flew up from the smoke and dust. When he was about to reach Sei Itō, he accelerated again and turned into a shadow as he passed through Sei Itō's body.
"Puff!" At the moment when Safilos passed through Ito Sei's body, a blade appeared on his body.
"Void!"
Immediately afterward, Safilos sprinted around Ito Sei like smoke, and officially displayed his move, Void.
When the second slash landed, Sei Itō, who had sensed that something was wrong, unleashed his psychokinesis, forming a powerful impact force that spread out in a circle with him as the center. While blocking Safilos's attack, it also interrupted Safilos's attack.
Then, when Safilos's figure reappeared, Sei Itō's body scattered, turning into countless electric arcs that shot out in all directions.
