Its defense was already weakened by the time terror got to the zombie-spawning monstrosity, so the tornado was practically overkill as its powerful gusts ripped away undead corpses from the abomination's sides and scattered them far across the lake surrounding the castle, until there were several open spots on Legion's shell where writhing tentacles and decaying, diseased flesh could be seen. Had the massive creature any more intelligence than to just follow the orders Ultimecia gave it, it probably would have fled at that point, but instead, it tried to hold its ground by dumping more (gradually less effective) zombies onto the castle, as well as bombarding all of the present warriors with Demi and Poison spells in order to soften them up. Having been so affected by Terra's magic, it would try to hit her with Silence too.<br/><br/>Its barrage of status-affecting spells would be cut off, tragically (for Legion), as Tidus' Blitzball attack slammed into its exposed body with the force of ten cannonballs and pushed it back several meters, leaving an unfortunate dent in its decrepit flesh and making it let out a strange, lifeless groan like an oversized zombie. Rydia arrived to the top of the tower to check on her heavily wounded father at the moment, but saw Tidus about to go plummeting down hundreds of feet and her Mist Dragon to carry him to safety. At this point, she was running pretty low on energy, but she managed to run over to the human form of Leviathan and drop to her knees beside him, using her meager supply of potions to try to reduce the severity of his wounds.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>If Sephiroth was even remotely fazed by Adelle's taunts and mockery, he didn't show it. His cool expression stayed the same aside from a small smirk as he stepped forward and turned sideways, eyes on her while he raised his blade to about shoulder height. "I'm not like the others. l don't use constant speeches as a crutch for my own weakness. Come, see for yourself what I'm capable of." There was no doubt in his voice; those who had beaten him in the past had only been able to do so through luck, circumstance, or outside help. He was an unparalleled swordsman, and even his greatest rival had had to use his own cells to grow stronger. He had brought his own world to its knees in desperation and fear, and he would do the same with this one, as soon as this pest in red was out of the way.
