Sephiroth didn't even hear Cloud's words as the Calamity had pulled determinedly at his core in those moments that the blond swordsman took to dissemble his the First Tsurugi, but in the first few moments of his renewed, urgent flurry of attacks Sephiroth had become more aware of the additional blades scattered around them.
A memory bugged, even though it had been at least 8 years since his plan had been thwarted by those same blades but Sephiroth could not allow Cloud the tiniest sliver of a chance to stop him in the same way again. Not this time.
As Cloud's defense began to crumble Masamune gouged keen, fine lines out of arms, legs and torso and it was as if the kiss of Cloud's blood on the air made the atmosphere hum with even more vigor. As if the blood of his nemesis was the final piece to make this attempt of Sephiroth's the successful one. Finally.
When Cloud were finally unable to lift his sword anymore, Sephiroth retreated. Stepping back firmly, with purpose as he looked down admiringly at his handiwork. If he were to relinquish all hold of his physicality for a great while, he'd at least want to do so with the knowledge that he'd finally settled the score. Fulfilled one destiny before moving on to the next.
Held out to one side, the crimson dripped from Masamunes' keen edge- this felt good. Sephiroth smiled down at Cloud, his expression dripping with victory.
fyi - rounding this off after the next tag

"You...can't do anything to stop me."
