Holy Akashic Conqueror 109 "The Way Of The Sword"

Panta rhei and time was an exception from this statement. Six months went by from the 11th Ward Battle and the Cochlea Raid. Most of the time Lucien spent training and refining his kenjutsu because it was becoming more and more important to him. He felt, that he was finally becoming One with the Sword. Even though he attained the rank of the Samurai in the past, he didn't have real time to properly refine his techniques and everything. So now, he spent the entire half year in refining his kenjutsu to a much higher level.

Even though he was still far from the Samurai Master Realm, he was confident to fight any other samurai's whose kenjutsu attained the Samurai Realm. The only thing which was somewhat sad was fact, during these months he was training his kenjutsu he wasn't properly eating blood essences and so he increased his RC Level only by a few thousand. At most five or so, which was rather bad when one knows about the number of blood essences in his Cross Crest.

But still, he was able to cross RC Level of sixty thousand and reach Kakuja V3, which greatly enhanced his combat power and by the information of his record, he could be regarded as High-Grade Baron Rank cultivator with the ability to fight against weakest Low-Grade Viscounts. This could be considered a huge success.

Also, Lucien studied records of the Akashic Records a lot during his free time and learned many important things about the multiverse, cultivation system of the multiverse, gradings, administrators of the Akashic Records and many more things.

His everyday routine would be, morning training and coffee, maybe morning s.e.x with Itori. Then he would spend entire day training and refining his kenjutsu, sparring with Itori, cultivating or reading some books or records from the Akashic Records. Afternoon, Touka would visit almost every day to train and Lucien would guide her through basic of combat and usage of kagune. Then in the evening, he would go somewhere with Itori to have fun, either hunting for ghoul investigators or going to watch movies. At night, activities for adults and sleep. Repeating this every day leads to a happy life and good power.

Another important news came from the Blood Island stating that Lucien younger sister, Artemia Etras di Aeon was born and was a strong little healthy baby girl. To the situation on the Blood Island, it was becoming more and more chaotic, as fights with demons were more and more intense, but the Aeon House was producing several times more of Magitek Infantry Soldiers with the strength of the Mid-Grade Baron. His grandfather Azrael, finally reached Low-Grade Count Rank and thus they gained access to the next part of the Magitek Technology and started constructing dreadnoughts, airships, and many other things, which would allow them to travel through the void in the future.

Recently, they have been using almost all of their money to buy as much steel and other commodities required to construct those dreadnoughts and airships as they could. What was bad news, constructed vessels would have a very short life, as they were constructed from the lowest grade materials, so when they would arrive at the G.o.d-Devil Plane they would need to construct new ones.

Last months when Touka was visiting this place, she was taking sneak glances at him more and more, with rather a weird expression. When Lucien noticed that, the first thing that came to his mind was if she hasn't fallen for him. It wasn't so surprising that this happened, he was a very attractive man and to her, he was helping and also caring person, many times she came to him not only for training but also to talk with him about her problems and hi listened to all what she wanted to say.

He never told her that he noticed that as if waiting for her confession, but Lucien was rather confused deep inside. He was confused from his own emotions for her as he couldn't decide what to do with her. Same was going for Eto, as she seemingly was coming to her own end, as her mental state was worsening. Lucien talked to her only a few times in the last half year, but every time they talked he noticed her state was worsening, and he couldn't do anything about it.

When the things came to Touka, she was cold on the outside, but inside she was a very warm person and she was in need of someone who would love her. He was aware that soon, he would need to make his decision, but as he was a person of rational thinking and follower of the cruel logic, there was a clear answer to this question...

Lucien was currently in the Cross Crest, Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory in the training room, sitting cross-legged with one katana at his legs. His eyes were closed and he was meditating about the way of the sword. How to become one with the sword. In times like this, he totally forgot the problems he had in life, and completely devoted his attention to the one thing, Way of the Sword.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his record.
