…
"Defeat me?" Sephiroth was stunned, then burst into laughter: "Just you? You're far from it!"
"To defeat me, at least all of them must come together." Sephiroth continued: "But that is only possible, because I will not repeat the same mistakes. Even I cannot escape the shackles of fate."
Having said that, Sephiroth raised his sword and pointed it at Shen Ye again.
"Your name is Shen Ye, right? I'll remember you, the one who wanders outside of fate. Next time we meet, I hope you can show me some new moves."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be one." Shen Ye also pointed his sword at Sephiroth.
"Then I'm relieved!" Sephiroth nodded, then turned around and swung his sword in the air, and a space crack suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Goodbye, Aerith!" Sephiroth glanced at Aerith and walked into the space crack.
When the crack closed, Shen Ye finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
The power of the Annihilation Palm is indeed strong, but the internal energy it consumes is equally huge. His internal energy is consumed by his mental power, and his mental state is extremely bad when his mental power is almost completely consumed.
Seeing Shen Ye's appearance, Aerith exclaimed and ran over holding a metal stick.
"Shen, let me heal you first." Aerith ran to Shen Ye, tightly grasped the long stick with both hands, recited and chanted the healing magic at an extremely fast speed, then pointed the long stick at Shen Ye, and a green light enveloped Shen Ye's whole body.
In an instant, Shen Ye felt like he was soaking in a hot spring of moderate temperature. All his physical and mental fatigue disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's incredible!" Shen Ye exclaimed as he looked at the white magic stone on Aerith's headband. The girl who usually looks weak and fragile is not simple at all!
"Are you feeling better?" Seeing Shen Ye just staring at her blankly, Aerith asked nervously. As long as the other party shook his head, she would be ready to use another healing magic.
"Much better, Aerith." Shen Ye stood up and said. Aerith's magic not only restored his physical and mental fatigue, but also restored a lot of his consumed mental power, and continued to recover at a speed several times the usual speed.
"This is the importance of a wet nurse!" Shen Ye sighed again.
Seeing Shen Ye stand up, Aerith breathed a sigh of relief, then threw away the metal stick in her hand, rushed over and hugged Shen Ye tightly.
"You can leave completely. Sephiroth's target... is not actually you." Aerith hugged Shen Ye's waist and buried her head in his chest, sniffing the masculine scent that had become a little pungent due to the fierce battle.
"What will you do if I leave? Don't you want to escape the fate you all talk about?" Shen Ye put away his lightsaber and stroked Aerith's soft golden hair with his big hands.
"Of course I do. Not only do I want to, but that person must want to too," Aerith said.
"That's it." Shen Ye stopped, then held Aerith's face with both hands and said, "I came here to save you."
As soon as these words came out, Aerith's eyes turned red instantly. Trying hard to hold back the tears of being moved, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Shen Ye hard on the mouth.
…
Seeing the two people hugging and kissing passionately in the middle of the church, all the Turks who were watching outside exclaimed in unison, especially the blonde girl, whose eyes widened and she even felt a little yearning unconsciously.
"I'm so envious!" The blonde girl smacked her lips, then turned her head to look to the side, only to see that their boss, the master of Turks, had appeared here at some point.
"Director...are you okay?" The blonde girl was not surprised to see her boss coming over, because she knew very well that her boss cared about Aerith more than anyone else, so when she saw a hint of sadness in Tseng's eyes, she asked.
Tseng retracted his gaze and turned to look at her: "I have always been fine."
"Really? But the look in your eyes just now didn't look like... um!" Before the blonde girl could finish her words, Reno covered her mouth.
"I'm sorry, Director, Elena spoke without thinking." Reno pressed the blonde girl's head and apologized to Tseng.
"It doesn't matter." Tseng shook his head, then took a deep look at the two people who were still kissing deeply in the middle of the church, then turned and left.
As he was about to disappear into the darkness, a calm voice reached everyone's ears: "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, including the president."
"Yes!" The Turks had no choice but to obey their boss's words.
…
The battle between Shen Ye and Sephiroth did not last too long, only an hour in total. When Shen Ye and Aerith returned home, it was just past two in the morning.
However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw Elmyra sitting on the sofa in the living room with an anxious look on her face. When she saw them come back, she immediately stood up and greeted them.
"Where have you been? Did something happen?" Elmyra walked up to Aerith and hugged her, then asked.
She was awakened by the noise made by the fight between Shen Ye and Sephiroth. After coming out of the bedroom, she found that the door of the house was open. Aerith and Shen Ye were not in the bedroom, so she hurriedly wanted to go out to look for them.
But as soon as she went out, she was persuaded to go back by the Turks members who were ordered to stay behind, so she could only stay at home and worry.
Now seeing the two of them coming back, her anxious heart finally settled down.
"There was a small accident, Ms. Elmyra, but we solved it." Shen Ye did not explain in detail. After all, explaining it would only cause Elmyra more trouble.
But Elmyra didn't believe it at all. She stared at Aerith, as if waiting for her explanation.
"Yes, Mom, it's okay now." Aerith put her hands on Elmyra's shoulders: "Shen is very strong, no matter what happens, he can handle it."
Elmyra's trust in her daughter was far more important than anything else, and seeing her say so, she could only nod.
"Okay, Mom, go to bed. It's still a long time before dawn." Aerith persuaded again.
But Elmyra suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "You sleep with me tonight, otherwise I can't sleep."
"But..." Aerith glanced at Shen Ye, a little hesitant.
"Is your mother not as important as your boyfriend in your heart?" Elmyra said pretending to be angry.
"Of course not." Aerith shook her head vigorously, and then said to Shen Ye: "Shen, I'm really sorry, you will have to stay alone in the empty room tonight!"
"It doesn't matter." Shen Ye smiled and shook his head.
