Mine

Haruhime watched the scene of disaster before her in a daze. 

Before, she panicked and even felt fear, especially when she thought Isao would die, killed by Ishtar's armies. 

As a member of the Ishtar Familia, Haruhime naturally knew how fearsome Ishtar was and how insane this goddess of hers was. Yet, watching how Isao and his group could trump against everything, she sighed in relief and was glad. 

'As long as he's okay.' 

For him, who had given her meaning, she would give him anything, but unfortunately... 

When she thought about what had happened previously and how she had brought danger to Isao, she couldn't forgive herself.

If she was a little smarter, stronger, and more careful, then would all of this happen? 

Yet, she knew well that as a prostitute, it was impossible for her to stay by his side. 

'Once he knows my identity...' 

Still, Aisha, who stayed by Haruhime's side, didn't say anything and just stared at everything numbly. 

After what had happened before, the relationship between the two was no longer as close as before. Haruhime kept ignoring her as if she didn't exist. It hurt, she thought, yet if something similar happened, she wouldn't change her decision since, compared to Isao, who she didn't know, Haruhime's life was more important. 

Nevertheless, the two watched how Ishtar's coalition was quickly destroyed by Daphne, Cassandra, Revis, and Filvis; they had this jealousy that couldn't be contained. 

'If I could be in their place...' 2x

Not only the two but everyone, especially those Amazoness, felt so jealous of the four women, and that was why their attacks had been vicious toward the four. At the same time, the four were also merciless, so even if they didn't want to, they had to go to the kill. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible for them to do anything. 

Their defeat was obvious, but—

"Aisha! Haruhime!" 

The two quickly became tense when they heard Ishtar's voice. 

As Ishtar's voice was heard, everyone also looked at the two since they were their only hope to change this situation. 

While Haruhime was nervous, Aisha had made up her mind. Holding a hideous creature in the shape of an egg, she looked at Haruhime for the last time and said, "I will go to the other side first." 

"Ah?" 

Haruhime turned and saw something that she had never dreamed of. 

Aisha put the creature onto her chest, and suddenly, the eyes of the creature were wide open before it merged into her body! 

"AAAAAAAAAAARRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" 

Aisha screamed in pain, causing many to flinch, but at the same time, her body grew. 

Bigger, bigger, and bigger. 

With a height of around 20 meters in height, her head became three, her hands became six, and her legs turned into that of a snake's lower body. Each of her hands held a sharp, large blade, and each of her faces showed a ferocious expression like that of a female Raksha. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" 

The building where she stood was destroyed, and her roar caused everything to tremble. 

Yes, at that moment, Aisha had become a Demi Spirit. 

Jewel Fetus.

The identity of the egg-like creature was merged into Aisha's body. The moment it parasitized her body, she transformed into a Demi Spirit, a hideous creature that was a combination of a spirit and a monster. 

With that Jewel Fetus, any creature that was parasitized would become a Demi Spirit, and no one could escape from it. 

Naturally, the stronger the creatures parasitized by the Jewel Fetus, the stronger the Demi Spirit would be. 

Aisha, who was known as the second strongest fighter in the Ishtar Familia, naturally became a frightening existence that brought terror to many, and she was even stronger than anyone could imagine. 

Nevertheless, those who were close to Aisha cried blood tears, watching how their friend had become such a creature. However, as this was Aisha's decision, and they couldn't fight Ishtar, they knew that they couldn't do anything. 

Yet, this wasn't the end since, besides Aisha, everyone also looked at Haruhime. 

Haruhime. 

She might be weak and was just Level 1, but she had a special ability that allowed her to raise the level of someone and make them stronger. 

However, since she was just a Level 1, there was a limit to this ability as she could only raise one person's level, and with the amount of her magic power, the time was also extremely limited. 

Yet, there was a way for Haruhime to raise everyone's level permanently, but the price—

"Haruhime, hurry up and do it!" 

"Don't let Aisha's sacrifice be wasted!" 

"HARUHIMEEEEE!" 

However, even if everyone shouted at her, Haruhime only stared at Aisha in a daze, struggling as she had never expected the big sister figure that had always cared for her to disappear like that. 

As for others, while she knew that it might be cold, she didn't care, especially when the truth was that she didn't want to die. 

After all, who wanted to die? 

Yet, who could save her? 

When Haruhime didn't move, everyone forced her to move and put her on an altar, starting the ritual. This was a ritual to raise everyone to one level, and as long as this ritual was successful, everyone could become stronger. 

Whether it was small fries from this War Game, two Level 6 Amazoness from the Kali Familia, or even the three Demi Spirits that had ravaged everything. 

If Haruhime sacrificed herself, there was a chance for their victory. 

Everyone had a chance to defeat Hestia Familia! 

Yet, before the ritual started, those who forced Haruhime were kicked away, and the altar was destroyed. 

However, Haruhime, who was saved, was stunned silly, watching the one who had saved her. 

"I-Iinuma-sama?!" 

"What's wrong?" 

Yes, Isao had saved her; like always, the one that she wished for came in front of her inextricably without any reminders and a time for her to prepare herself. 

"...why?" 

"What do you mean by what?" 

"Why did you save me? I am not worthy of your help..." 

"Is that what you think?" 

"It is!" Haruhime cried as she exposed everything. "I-I am a prostitute. Someone who sells my body and chastity for money, do you think I am worthy of your help? I am not! I am so dirty that I can't even beg for your help..." 

Her voice choked as her emotions exploded. 

She didn't hide anything, exposing everything, telling him how dirty she was. Deep inside, she felt regret, yet she knew that no matter how much she hid, everything would be exposed sooner or later, so this was the best. Isao would be disgusted by her, and by then, she could give up everything and kill herself, so that way, she wouldn't be an existence that would trouble him, but—

"—?!" 

Haruhime widened her eyes when Isao took her lips. He kissed her with her fleshy, pink lips, and his tongue invaded her mouth aggressively as if trying to mark her. 

"Hmn~! Mnh~! Oh~!"

She was overwhelmed and unable to stop herself from crying in a sweet voice as her body kept seeking him more. 

It wasn't until she almost passed out that he stopped, and she fell on his chest as she breathed heavily with tears in her eyes. 

He had his hand on her hair, stroking her softly. 

"You have deceived me before, so I won't let you die until you take responsibility."

Lifting her face to his thumb, Isao stared at her eyes and said, "You are mine." 

Feeling his gentle kiss on her forehead, Haruhime cried as she hugged him tightly. 

"I am yours! My body, life, and everything are yours! Take me Iinuma-sama!" 

"When I finish, I will punish you well later." 

"Um..." 

Haruhime shyly buried her face on his chest. 

Hugging her in his arms, Isao looked at the carnage before him and then looked at Haruhime. "Let's finish this."

Then, at that moment, his power spread to the world.
