Safilos, who did not quite understand Sei Itō's attack method, did not move. He hovered in the air with rapt attention. His eyes darted around as he stared at the scattered lightning around him, ready to deal with the incoming attack at any time.
The next moment, Sei Itō, who had just turned into lightning and dispersed, reappeared behind Safilos and swung his sword at him.
Safilos turned around and raised his sword to block the attack.
However, just as the two swords were about to collide, Sei Itō's figure once again turned into lightning and dissipated. He then reappeared at the spot where Safilos felt the most uncomfortable and attacked him again.
Safilos still responded with the fastest way possible.
With one attack and one defense, countless Sei Itō's figures appeared around Safilos one after another amidst the flashes of lightning. They surrounded Safilos and attacked him relentlessly.
Time finally paid off. Under such rapid and continuous attacks, Safilos finally could not react in time and was slashed by Sei Itō. A bloody wound appeared on his body.
Safilos, whose expression did not change at all, turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the encirclement of Sei Itō.
High-speed movement skill – Celestial Speed!
Seeing this, Sei Itō also turned into lightning and chased after Safilos at a speed that was not inferior to Celestial Speed. In fact, it was much faster than Celestial Speed. While competing with Safilos in flying speed, he swung Celestial Clouds in his hand and slashed at Safilos.
However, this kind of entanglement usually had no effect at all. Therefore, after roughly gauging Safilos' movement speed, Sei Itō's figure flashed and used teleportation to appear next to where Safilos was about to fly to in the next second. He swung his sword and slashed at the void.
"Pfft!" As expected, another wound appeared on Safilos' body as he couldn't dodge in time. Blood gushed out from the wound.
However, this kind of attack could only be used once. After that, Safilos, who had learned from Sei Itō, no longer flew in a straight line for long periods of time. Instead, he would rapidly change his direction every two seconds to avoid Sei Itō's advantage of teleportation.
"Yaha!" Itsunari, who had been fighting with Safilos for a while, suddenly stopped flying. He let out a low growl.
In an instant, a large amount of lightning burst out from Sei Itō's body and quickly flew in all directions. In the blink of an eye, a huge area of lightning was formed with him as the center and enveloped Safilos as well.
Sei Itō's figure then flashed and he appeared next to Safilos with the help of Celestial Lightning Escape...
Because it was Celestial Celestial Attack. Itosei, who no longer had to think about scattering and gathering, increased his attack speed by about 0.5 seconds. Soon, two or three more scorched wounds appeared on Safilos' body.
"Ha!" At this moment, Safilos, who was under attack, let out a loud roar. An extremely thick, inky, pitch-black cloud of energy instantly appeared around Safilos. While resisting the effects of the Lightning Domain and blocking Sei Itō's vision and senses, it expanded outwards.
Then, about five seconds later, four pitch-black energy balls appeared around Safilos's body, moving up and down, left and right at an irregular frequency.
"Darkness Fusion!"
Then, without seeing Safilos do anything, the four black balls that were wandering around suddenly paused. Sei Itō transformed into a black stream of light and spun around Safilos at high speed. A short moment later, a thick, pitch-black tornado appeared around Safilos, completely tearing apart the Domain of Lightning that Sei Itō had unleashed earlier.
Under the influence of the tornado, a huge cloud vortex appeared in the sky at the same time. It sucked in the thick, dark clouds and created a terrifying scene as if the end of the world was coming. Violent thunder rumbled in the clouds from time to time.
Sei Itō, who had reappeared, hovered in mid-air. His deep, mysterious eyes stared at the pitch-black tornado that Safilos had created with the Darkness Fusion. After about ten seconds, he slowly raised the divine saber in his hand, Celestial Clouds, and gently slashed at the void in front of him.
There were no strange phenomena or powerful energy waves. The pitch-black tornado around Safilos suddenly exploded and dispersed, revealing Safilos who was preparing to cast a powerful spell inside.
Then, before Safilos could react, he used teleportation and instantly appeared in front of Safilos. He held the saber hilt with both hands and tilted the blade. The tip of the saber swiftly pierced into Safilos's chest.
Puff! A deep, muffled sound came from Safilos's chest.
"What kind of attack was that?" Safilos asked as he lowered his head and looked into Sei Itō's eyes.
"Principle Resonance. I temporarily interrupted the wind principle in the tornado," Sei Itō replied softly.
"Principle, huh … Seems like I didn't lose unjustly." Safilos chuckled.
Sei Itō did not answer. He merely turned his wrist and completely crushed Safilos's heart. Then, he withdrew his saber and flew away.
"It's really regrettable that I didn't get to see Claude." Safilos sighed softly as he looked up at the sky. Then, the wings on his back rolled up and wrapped around his body like a blanket. Then, starting from his feet, they turned into countless pitch-black feathers and scattered, gradually disappearing as they drifted down.
During this process, Safilos's body also disappeared from Sei Itō's sight at the same time.
After Safilos disappeared, the sky that was no longer affected by Safilos's magic returned to its clear state. Countless stars and moons adorned the pitch-black night sky.
Sei Itō put away his saber, Celestial Clouds. He lowered his head and looked at the pool in the center of the Forgotten City. Then, he dove headfirst into the pool.
Plop! Almost instantly, Sei Itō's body plunged into the pool and dived toward the bottom of the pool.
At the same time, Sei Itō gently closed his eyes. He spread out his mental strength and sent out strands of his consciousness.
"Iris … Iris … Iris …"
"Hello, mysterious outsider." After about a few minutes, a soft, feminine voice rang in Sei Itō's mind.
"Hello, Iris." Sei Itō was not surprised that Iris knew that he was an outsider. After all, she was the planet's consciousness of this planet in the Final Fantasy world. It was a piece of cake for her to distinguish between life forms that originated from this planet and non-planet life forms. Therefore, Sei Itō greeted her politely without changing his expression.
"Thank you for saving this planet," Iris said.
"You don't blame me for luring Safilos out?" Sei Itō asked in return.
"Although the process was a little worrisome, the result was the best. It's already over. It's useless for me to dwell on it," Iris replied.
"That's good." Sei Itō heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, his previous actions were somewhat inappropriate. Although it was to save the planet, the process was too dangerous. If he had made a mistake and failed to save the planet, he would have caused the planet to enter the stage of destruction ahead of time. That would have been a sin! Moreover, the purpose of his trip was Iris, who had already transformed into the planet's consciousness. It would be best if he did not arouse her disgust.
"So, Mr. Itō, why did you call me?" Iris asked.
"This matter is a little complicated to explain. You can receive my thoughts." After Sei Itō finished speaking, he released a mental thought that contained a lot of information for Iris to receive and read.
In this mental thought, Sei Itō included all the information about the multiverse, parallel worlds, and the purpose of his visit. He explained his purpose to Iris.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Iris, who had finished reading the information, asked after a moment.
"Acknowledge me as the planet's consciousness and help me in my subsequent actions. Only then can I take this planet away from this universe and bring it to another universe," Sei Itō replied.
"But I don't quite understand. Why did you choose us?" Iris asked, puzzled.
"Because I took a fancy to the awakened planet's consciousness of your planet and you, who have now transformed into the planet's consciousness. I want to obtain the planet's consciousness, so I came to your world," Sei Itō answered honestly.
"But you can rest assured that I won't use destruction to obtain the planet's consciousness like Genova did. Instead, I'll use other gentle methods from other worlds to obtain the planet's consciousness' power. If you want a more vivid example, it's somewhat similar to your current situation, but much better than your current situation. It's similar to the Setra Clan," Sei Itō continued to explain to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Of course, in return, I'll rebuild this planet and restore it to life so that the planet can continue to operate healthily."
"You're very honest," Iris said with a gentle smile in her mind.
"Because you're someone who deserves my honesty," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Thank you," Iris said. "I have no objections to what you said. We'll do as you say."
"Thank you, Iris." Sei Itō thanked her sincerely. Then, he said, "Then, please give me your approval."
As soon as he finished speaking, several wisps of green energy, which was known as the River of Life on this planet, suddenly appeared around Sei Itō's body in the pool and slowly rotated around him. Instantly, a strange feeling, as if he had formed an inexplicable connection with this planet, appeared in Sei Itō's heart.
[Received the blessing of the planet's consciousness. The host has obtained the planet's consciousness' approval. Obtained 51% of the world's authority.] The Rubik's Cube's information timely reported in Sei Itō's mind.
