Yeah, but he needed another to close the portal, or it was going to remain open for god knows how long. Otherwise the portal would have closed when you defeated Jack of Blades, with no need for killing your sister to keep the sword or tossing the sword away to close the portal again. He was basically covering his bases with grabbing a second to close the portal after he got the sword, to ensure no one could come after him and toss him in there - just as the Hero actually did. (Not that it helped, as he just became a dragon, but still. Human bodies are nice for getting shit done in small spaces).
