Clang! Clatter! Clang!

Like mirror images, the two exchanged blows, performing a perfect synchronized dance.

The spear shadows, split into dozens, covered the entire space, intensifying the heat.

Among them, only one was real.

Isis burned her life force, further strengthening her body, seeing through and following all of them, stepping forward for victory.

‘This won’t do.’

The advantage in the fight was hers.

But there was no guarantee that the balance would last indefinitely.

Her life force would continue to diminish, and eventually, the moment its depletion accelerated, her skill would deteriorate, leaving her unable to do anything but collapse.

She could already feel her strength waning.

She instinctively knew that her innate qi was already severely damaged, and she could never return to her former self.

At best, her mana would be lost, and at worst, her dantian would be completely destroyed, rendering her unable to wield a spear ever again.

It was something she had already resolved, but it was still a bit regrettable.

If that happened, she might have to drop out of the academy, return to her family, and recuperate for the rest of her life.

She would likely have very few opportunities to see Ruan.

As she smiled bitterly, the clone distorted its face and shouted.

“Don’t make that face!”

“What?”

“You said you’d defeat me, didn’t you? You said you didn’t even want me to feel Ruan’s last warmth? So why are you making that kind of face? If you’ve decided to defeat me, then do it properly! You’ll be a cripple even if you win here? Your chances of meeting Ruan will decrease? What’s wrong with that? If you become a cripple, use it as an opportunity! If your older sister becomes a cripple and asks for a favor, would a good younger brother refuse? You can use that!”

As expected of a clone, it thoroughly read Isis’s true intentions.

Born as a clone with a lifespan shorter than a mayfly, given the role to defeat the original, it nonetheless had its own will.

Though it attacked the original out of ugly jealousy and desire, it didn’t want to see such a pathetic sight.

It absolutely hated it, but if it had to concede Ruan in the end, it had to be to the original.

No other woman could be allowed.

And Isis, likewise, understood the clone’s heart well.

“You…”

“Just try showing such a pathetic state one more time. I won’t let it go. You love Ruan, don’t you? Admit it! How long are you going to keep resisting? Is being his older sister so important? Or are you just not confident?”

“B-but I have to protect Ruan…”

“Shut up! That’s useless! I… you… you want to be a woman to Ruan, not his older sister, don’t you?”

The last words seeped into her heart.

Older sister and woman.

The role given to her since birth and the role she desired. These conflicting concepts forced a single choice upon her.

However, she couldn’t give up either.

Since the year she turned 13, when she heard about the prophecy from her father, Isis had been unable to escape her position as his older sister.

She loved Ruan so, so much, but precisely because of that, she couldn’t bring herself to abandon his last moments.

‘What should I do?’

As she pondered, the clone delivered a sharp blow.

Clang!

“Ugh…!”

Isis parried the attack that precisely exploited her opening and hastily retreated.

The clone spoke as if frustrated.

“You can do both!”

“Huh?”

“Do both! Be his older sister, and be a woman!”

“Th-that can’t possibly…”

“Why, are you afraid of other people’s gazes? Is your love for Ruan not even enough for that? Then just give up! If you’re so scared that you hesitate, then just give up!”

“……”

Isis posed a question to herself.

‘Is that really true?’

Was she truly restraining her feelings for Ruan because she feared other people’s gazes, as the clone said?

The answer came immediately.

‘No.’

She hadn’t cared about such things from the start.

Even if hundreds, thousands of people criticized and scorned her, Ruan’s affectionate gaze and a single kind word would be enough to endure it all.

Most importantly, worrying about something that hadn’t even happened yet was foolish.

‘Yes. I’ll do it.’

She would shoulder both roles: older sister and woman.

Hum!

At that moment, a tremor spread from deep within her body.

The stiff, solidified mana scattered wildly in all directions, then began to sweep through all the fine meridians in her entire body.

Though there was no dramatic change, her mana pathways became wider and more solid, accelerating the movement of her mana.

Finally, when all the changes concluded, Isis was able to transcend her own limits.

“Haa…”

When she opened her eyes, which she hadn’t realized were closed, she saw the clone gazing back at her with dissatisfaction.

“Thank you.”

“…If you’re grateful, then win. Understand?”

“Yes. I’ll win.”

“Good. Then… here I come!”

The clone vigorously kicked off the ground.

Seeing the rapidly rushing figure, Isis also charged head-on.

‘I have to end it in one go.’

Her body was already in a severe state.

Even though she had gained enlightenment and advanced her realm, her consumed innate qi had not returned.

Isis infused the profound insight she had gained into this single strike.

‘Unbroken, advancing fully.’

Mana enveloped the spear. Gently yet resolutely, it bestowed an unyielding solidity and a destructive power capable of shattering everything in its path.

Unbroken Ultimate Advance!

The spear, imbued with Isis’s will, was thrust steadfastly towards the clone.

The two attacks collided at the center.

Crash! Shatter! Bang!

The qi surrounding the clone’s spear, tightly wrapped around it, couldn’t withstand the power of Unbroken Ultimate Advance and shattered.

Following that, the entire spear crumbled into dust and scattered, and Isis’s strike, still unhindered, pierced the clone’s heart.

Thud!

The spearhead protruded from its back.

“Cough!”

The clone coughed up blood and its trembling lips parted.

“You… promised, didn’t you? If you don’t keep it, I won’t forgive you. Understand?”

“…Yes. I will definitely achieve it.”

“That’s enough. That’s all…”

At a reply given without a hint of hesitation, the clone murmured as if satisfied and closed its eyes.

At the same time, it turned into divine power from its toes up, and then completely vanished.

[Challenger! Excellent. You have overcome your limits. I bestow upon you a reward!]

And as soon as the War God’s voice ended, the divine power coalesced into one, and a single spear appeared, harmoniously blended with black, white, and gold colors.

It was a spear so divine and beautiful that merely looking at it would inspire awe.

Isis carefully gripped the spear.

At that moment, all information about the spear was imprinted in her mind.

“The Spear of the Valkyrie.”

This was the spear used by the Valkyries who served the ancient War God. Forged directly by divine authority, its power was no less than that of a divine artifact.

She wanted to test it immediately, but unfortunately, no such time was given.

Thump!

“Ugh!”

Her heart pounded as if it would burst, and a suffocating pain spread through her.

It was because too much life force had been expended.

As she staggered from her rapidly draining vitality, the background blurred, and the familiar chamber appeared.

A single person visible in the distance.

The longed-for, aching face that always came to mind: when she opened her eyes in the morning, before sleeping, when approving documents, or when eating a meal.

“Ruan…”

Her younger brother and the man she loved was there.

But with each slow blink of her eyes, Ruan’s face only grew blurrier.

“Older sister?”

Ruan, who had been resting in a suitable spot, widened his eyes upon seeing Isis appear.

Isis smiled unconsciously.

Realizing she no longer had the strength to support her body, she simultaneously opened her mouth.

“You’re safe. Th-that’s good…”

“Older sister!!”

And with Ruan rushing towards her being the last thing she saw, she completely lost consciousness.

***

Just before Isis collapsed to the ground, I barely managed to pull her into my arms.

“Older sister! Isis!”

I called her name, but there was no response. Her limp, dangling form gave me a chilling feeling.

I hastily laid her on the ground and examined her body.

Infiltrating mana into her body and thoroughly scanning her, I soon realized the problem.

“Her life force is almost depleted.”

I didn’t know why this had happened.

Unlike the original plan, even though the variable of innate qi had intervened, she should have won without issue, but Isis was now no different from a living corpse.

If things continued like this, at best she would be a cripple, and at worst, she might die.

“Damn it!”

I immediately took out a bottle containing semen from my subspace pouch.

It was indeed a good thing I hadn’t drunk it.

Sighing in relief, I supported Isis’s neck and carefully fed her the semen.

Though she was unconscious, something went into her mouth, and she instinctively began to swallow.

The problem was what came next.

“The rate at which her life force is replenishing is too slow!”

The semen I just used was approximately ‘Rape Factor’ 70. As my relationship with Sara continued for a long time, the average ‘Rape Factor’ decreased significantly.

Could anyone believe that even this was carefully selected?

In any case, the important thing was that even with the most potent semen I currently possessed, I couldn’t save Isis.

I immediately sought a breakthrough.

I placed my hand on my chest and willed the firmly closed Taiji to open, but there was no sign of it. As expected, it seemed that Incarnation was unusable since I had just recently released it.

If that was the case, only one method remained.

“Is there no other choice?”

I, who had been looking down at Isis with a conflicted gaze, immediately moved.

Rustle— Rustle—

I lifted her short skirt, then pulled aside her white panties with black ribbons, revealing her vagina.

“…Beautiful.”

It wasn’t the time to be thinking this, but I simply couldn’t take my eyes off her vagina.

Beneath her well-groomed black pubic hair, her tightly sealed slit, not an inch of space visible, subtly revealing a faint pink mucous membrane, indicated her purity.

Blood rapidly rushed to my penis.

Feeling stifled, I unfastened my trousers and took out my penis.

Then I spread Isis’s legs and positioned myself between them.

There, I fell into a dilemma.

‘Should I just do it like this?’

Currently, even ‘Rape Factor’ 70 wasn’t working. I needed at least 80, but I wasn’t sure if a simple external penetration would be enough.

The most certain method was indeed to wake Isis and violate her while she was conscious.

But if I did that, all the bonds we had built until now would crumble.

We would no longer be affectionate siblings, but a rapist and his victim.

Soon, I made a decision.

‘If only Isis can live, it’s fine.’

It was a decision I had already deliberated on several times, so it was quite easy to choose.

It was just as I was about to wake Isis.

Swish!

One side of the space rippled like water, and Deborah appeared.

She smiled warmly upon seeing my face, then froze rigid upon seeing Isis, who was lying beneath me with her vagina exposed.

Deborah, who had been frozen for a moment, shouted.

“What in the world are you doing?!”

She rushed forward and stomped her foot angrily in front of me.

“A-are you trying to violate the President right now? I’m disappointed!”

“Deborah. Calm down. There’s no other choice if I want to save Older Sister.”

“What? Save the President? What do you mean… Ah!”

Having been momentarily flustered and not noticing, she belatedly understood Isis’s condition and gasped.

I subtly pushed Deborah back.

“Understand? So could you please move aside? I don’t want to do this while you’re watching.”

“…You two are siblings, is that really alright?”

“Whether it’s alright or not, there’s no other choice if I want to save her.”

“……”

With Deborah falling silent behind me, I patted Isis’s cheek.

“Older Sister. Wake up. Older Sister!”

Deborah was aghast at my actions.

“R-Ruan. Why are you waking the President?”

“Because that way the semen’s potency will be better. I already fed her some other kind, but it had no effect.”

“Even so, this is…”

“I know. We won’t be able to live like before again. But this is the right answer. So hurry up and go. It’s hard for me if you’re here.”

Receiving Isis’s resentment alone would break my heart, but if I also received Deborah’s hateful gaze, my spirit would shatter.

I kept trying to wake Isis, waiting for her to understand and leave.

I patted her cheek, shook her shoulder, and tickled her side, trying every trick.

Just then, Deborah spoke.

“Ruan. Stop.”

“You, go away. Why are you still here? Get away quickly!”

As I grew annoyed at the situation where she simply wouldn’t understand, an unexpected answer came.

“I’ll do it.”

“…What?”

I instinctively looked at Deborah.

Her face was flushed with embarrassment, yet she held a firm resolve.

Deborah whispered again, as if engraving her words.

“Violate me.”

“You… are you serious?”

“Yes. So leave the President alone.”

“……”

I was once again faced with a choice.
