Holy Akashic Conqueror 71 Ancestral Site

After some time of walking, he found a door, which led to some room or hall. Lucien entered the room and was in the huge s.p.a.cious hall. There was nothing here, Lucien sighed in disappointment as he knew that this was some kind of training are or something similar. He exited the hall and returned to the narrow path. He continued for some time until he found another door.

This time it was better as he found some useful things, cause here were stored some weapons and he immediately took them all. Also, this hall was connected to another smaller room, which had stored blood essences. Lucien didn't know from what they were refined but he still took them and stored them in his Cross Crest, Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory.

After that, he exited the hall and walked through the pathway. Unfortunately, form him, he didn't manage to find another door leading to another room or hall, which could have contained some treasure or something useful for him.

The only thing waiting for him were members of the Washuu Clan, that was attacking him the moment when they saw him, with more ferocious attacks. From this att.i.tude, Lucien could tell that he was nearing the inner sanctum, the shrine where was the inheritance stored and also where was the hidden pa.s.sageway leading to the room, where was Sacred Blood Crystal.

When he finally arrived at the place, there was a giant stone gate and before the gate were ten members of the Washuu Clan nicely lined up and were holding their katanas, ready to attack. The last line of defense was reached and the last fight of this expedition was nearing.

Lucien turned his kakugan on, his eyes where the iris turned red, and the sclera turned black with red veins across the eye and into the skin around the eye. He entered Kakuja V1, to gain some slighter power boost, as he felt that these people here were pretty strong ones. Then one of them walked out of the line and stood before Lucien.

"Welcome, heir of the Aeon House, it is rather unfortunate for you to be here, but as you wish, this place would be your final resting place."

Said the man, as he gripped his katana. His voice was neither arrogant or aggressive. He was just telling the facts, but for Lucien, he was hallucinating and spewing nonsense. Lucien was only smiling at this, but soon his gaze turned serious, as rest of the men started to surround him. Some of them even congealed their kagunes. This was an interesting point about the Washuu Clan, as they fought with the combination of their katanas and kagune if they were serious. And the same goes for the Aeon House, as the combination of kagune and weapon was very deadly if used correctly.

"All of those mercenaries were slaughtered as ants by my kagune daggers through telekinesis. Your agents of Vasuki, loyal dogs of the Washuu Clan, couldn't stand even one hit from me and were killed in an instant. Even though your clan members could be better than them, to me or my family and my race you are nothing more than blood traitors and weaklings that should be ma.s.sacred several centuries ago. And so you would join them in the grave, and now after my emotive speech."

Said, Lucien, as he took his battle stance and prepared to the fight. He knew that they were far weaker than him but they were stronger than the majority of people he encountered so far and he shouldn't underestimate his enemy. His grandfather always told him to be wary of every enemy he would encounter cause you can't know if they are concealing their strength or what.

"Shall we dance gentlemen?"

As this was a clear provocation for the members of the Washuu Clan and one more hot-blooded than others couldn't stand this kind of battle strategy and sent himself at Lucien's blade. Actually, he wasn't used at provoking his enemies at first but this was also taught by his grandfather to him, as he was a shameless person, who would say anything in order for his opponent to lose control of himself. This was a very good strategy as people who lost themselves in a rage couldn't properly think during the combat and this would result in death. The old man, was very despicable and shameless as he said he could even provoke ascetic monk to attack him in a fit of rage.

As the first person attacked him, Lucien chuckled as he saw the strategy that he implemented succeeded and one of them already attacked him without any plan and thus destroying their formation and encirclement. The man attacked Lucien with both kagune and katana. His kagune was of bikaku-type, and the covered entire left arm, creating another blade around his arm. Lucien easily dodged the attack and kicked the man to his chest, sending him flying in high-speed. He crashed several meters away and even taking another one with him. One would be killed and another one heavily injured. Lucien's kicks could kill even rated ghouls if he used his full power.

Then he slashed at another man, that was standing next to the one, that attacked him and pierced through his belly with his kagune katana. He then congealed his kagune tail and slashed at his head as he was kneeling on the ground, severing his head in the process. Now as the encirclement was completely destroyed, Lucien could move around as he wanted.

Then with the use of his tail, he defended against an attack that came from behind, as two men tried to sneak attack him when he dealing with their colleague. But this wasn't very useful as his kagune tail, easily blocked the attacks and even managed to counter-attack with precise slash aiming at the waist of one of the men, splitting him in two. Another one had face pale as a sheet when Lucien slashed his throat with kagune katana.

Then he turned around and saw that five were already down and five remained. Remaining five men of the Washuu Clan were now scared as Lucien was much stronger as they initially thought. On the other side, Lucien was surprised at how weak these people were. He was aware that the Aeon House was many times stronger as they now were cultivating in the RC Body Refining Technique.

He rushed at remaining five men of the Washuu Clan and jumped in the air. He used his tail to attack one of them that seemed to be bigger and others and stood in the middle of them. His tail was very fast and very sharp. The poor man couldn't even see the attack, as he was killed in a mere second. Lucien landed in the middle of them and attacked another one with bikaku-type kagune. This time his opponent tried to defend, as his bikaku was more inclined to the defense than attack. Unfortunately, his bikaku shattered like gla.s.s in the frontal confrontation and Lucien's kagune katana easily killed him.

Then a very surprising situation arose. When the remaining men from the Washuu Clan realized that they couldn't defeat him, all of them chose their own type of choice. One of them committed suicide and the other two tried to escape. When he saw that one who committed suicide, Lucien thought that he must be a very loyal person the Washuu Clan. And his fate could be even worse if he chose to return to the clan.

Seeing those two men escaping, Lucien ended his Kakuja V1 and congealed two kagune lances that shot like lightning, swiftly piecing them, killing both of them on the spot. Lucien collected all bodies around and stood before the huge stone gate, that was giving ancient and profound aura. It led towards the sanctuary where inheritance is and also where Sacred Blood Crystal was hidden.

Lucien opened those door and entered the dark path, that was illuminated by faint fire from torches on the walls.
