Chapter 662: Chapter D241: Battle Tides
The unbearably intense taste of the magic potion traveled down the throat, reaching deep into the soul, causing even the normally composed young man to tightly close his eyes.
Amidst that fiery bitterness, past scenes flashed within his consciousness—
Why give such a dangerous magic potion to his immature sister?
In response to his questioning, the father answered:
Because she is weak.
At that ti, he couldn’t grasp the aning of his father’s words.
But now, he understands.
Understanding one’s own weakness and fighting against it with everything one has.
Regardless of the benefits, without calculating gains or losses, fearing neither success nor failure.
—Simply to carve out a place for oneself in this world.
“When you manage to do that, perhaps that will be the day you enter the inner sanctum.”
“—Ah, you’re right.”
The young man opened his eyes and turned to look.
Since the conversation began, for the first ti, he truly focused his gaze on the hero.
He expected to see that incompetent sister, the foolish and stubborn sister, the one so weak it made him disgusted, whom he wanted to abandon but sohow ended up always falling behind.
—Yet what t his eyes was a saintess.
The slender figure in the plain monastic robe stood out, causing the erald eyes of the sa color to ripple with emotion.
At that mont, countless snippets of the future flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Nurous beings, human and otherwise, followed her as she raised the holy banner, leading the country, and indeed the world, to a new future.
The re dal of a viscount faded against her, and even the brilliance of a crown paled in comparison.
On this woman, not a trace of the weak sister of old could be found.
“…Ha, so this is the effect of the supre forbidden curse; it truly is exaggerated.”
The brother’s lips curved into a knowing, yet unavoidably shocked expression.
He rembered a saying: If sothing looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck.
Yet, as a mage, he knew that was nothing but nonsense.
Mimicry, illusion techniques, flesh alchemy, etheric construction… There are countless ways to transform sothing, and that thing which looks like a duck might be a high-tier sli or even a transford hero.
And he had over a hundred ways to discern the true nature of things—
But if exhausting all verification thods still yields the sa conclusion?
The girl before him was destined to beco a saintess in the past, about to beco a saintess now, and will certainly be a saintess in the future.
Concepts were overwritten, roots were altered, even taphysical destiny was contracting.
The world hasn’t changed, his perception wasn’t affected, only the hero was dyed by the forbidden curse—like turning white cloth into gold, anyone who sees it would only marvel at its pure radiance.
To insist on his own view in front of the current hero was like pointing at a golden silk and claiming it was white.
In this situation, the problem wasn’t with her, but with himself who was overturning right and wrong.

♛:
“Isn’t this future good?”
As if asking himself, yet as if soone were whispering in his ear, such doubts quietly grew in the brother’s heart.
Indeed, if the hero beca a saintess, he wouldn’t need to do anything, and the family’s status would naturally rise.
Viscount, count, even marquis? Insignificant.
If his ambitions were high, even the title of duke could be within reach.
From any perspective, this was a broad avenue.
And from any angle of prediction or calculation, no better future could be found.
“I see… Ha.”
Understanding the beauty of that future accurately, the brother let out a laugh.
“I understand why father rated you that way—a manipulative fool.”
His voice grew sharp.
“The before, and the you now, are nothing but ignorant fools.
“The difference is, I was rely ignorant, while you choose not to see.
“So, though I don’t really want to say this, it’s ti to learn a lesson from my sister this ti.”
The sound of the sword humming as it was drawn pierced clearly, slicing through all future segnts.
Countless images of the future shattered like a mirrored surface, as the surging flow of destiny crashed against an indomitable reef, shattering instantly into a spray of fragnts.
The magic power brought by the magic origin secret dicine rose without reserve, and the sword staff in his brother’s hand was surrounded by pitch-black clouds, encircling him with thunder and lightning.
“—If seeking opinions, kindly ask the person herself, I now only handle waking up this fool.”

Many past mories and countless fragnts of the future, all like illusions, fleeting.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, t by the concerned gaze of a young girl.
“Brother, was that… really intense?”
The Hero, seeing his brother enveloped entirely by violent Magic Power, with his Erald Eyes almost bursting with light, asked empathetically.
“How do you know? Did you drink it?”
His brother replied calmly, knowing he was feigning ignorance.
“…Oh right, how would I know?”
The Hero tilted his head in confusion, his gaze on his brother was gentle, as if deep in thought, yet seemingly thinking of nothing.
Under the Blessing of the Forbidden Curse, her current Status was sothing even the Four-winged King, her Caster, might find hard to explain.
“But, brother,” disregarding his deep expression, the Hero’s eyes fell on the sword staff in his brother’s hand, softly saying, “if you could visit the border, I think it would be happy too.”
“I’ll consider it.” His brother lightly lifted the sword staff, responding softly.
The Hero also gripped the Finger Claw of the sa origin as the current sword staff, Crystal Armor flowing over her Monastic Robe like water,
she stepped forward, her figure splitting into two.
One smiled, one was indifferent.

“So, next is a spar, right?”
The smiling Hero spoke easily, her tone carrying unapologetic Battle Intent.
“Don’t bla if you get killed, old brother.”
The indifferent one coldly added, a fierce glint sparking in her red eyes.
“…That’s a fresh title indeed.”
Hidden power spread like ripples, countless previously concealed Array Patterns erged on the dilapidated training ground, flickering with dim light.
Beneath his brother’s sword edge, violent Magic Power erupted like a volcano.

[All damage dealt by Brother to Hero will reduce the Saintess’s Precepts]
“Gleaming Scales, co forth.” The Hero remained calm, raising her fists confidently.
As she spoke, a vast Magic Power surged at the end of the contract.
Ice solidified in her other self’s hand, transforming into sharp Finger Claws, gleaming with cold light.

Facing the Hero raising her fists and taking her stance, the brother said no more, with a flick of his sword staff, dim Radiance was slashed out.
The Hero’s fists struck simultaneously, the two girls’ movents were mirror-like, charging towards the sharp sword light.
Behind the sword light’s trajectory, the Magic Cloud churned, wind and thunder raged, and lightning struck the bricks of the training ground like dense raindrops, sweeping towards the Heroes grandly.
However, this Great Magic, enough to destroy cities and fortresses, was pierced by the tiny fist in roaring sound before it even touched the girl’s body.
The sword light shattered like an egg hitting a rock under the Hero’s Iron Fist, the violent explosion shook the entire Space.
The next mont, the two girls’ figures flashed, piercing through the thundercloud, instantly appearing at the youth’s sides.
“—Brother, is this your full strength?”
“Hey, are you serious? It could be fatal.”
Gentleness mingled with concern, indifference tinged with disdain, delivering the sa voice in different tones to the youth’s ears.
Following that, was the explosive sound of fists breaking through the atmosphere.
“…Full strength? Heh.” Ti in Perception seed to slow, the brother’s lips curved slightly.
No universal Profession exists in the world, even if he temporarily stepped into the Palace, even if he learned from a Battle Mage’s instruction, he was ultimately an academic and research-focused Mage, lacking in on-the-spot combat skills.
Indeed, Mages have nurous plans and Spells to compensate for their weaknesses. But casting ti, Magic Power consumption, various limitations often reduce their strategies to re theoretical discussions.
Perhaps just as Mages prepare to cast confidently, the enemy’s Sharp Blade has already slit their throats.
—However, a Mage’s Wisdom is not confined to oneself.
In the next instant, several scrolls flew out from the brother’s robe, quickly and automatically unfurling themselves. The engraved Magic Text leapt from the paper, transforming into lines of Spell Chant. Simultaneously, the robe he wore, the ring on his hand, and the necklace around his neck all glowed with Magic’s light.
“—Then let show you what it ans for a Mage to go all out.”
