155 Lesser Sword Dao and...

Now that Lucien mastered the Lesser Sword Dao, he could finally use some techniques from the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, developed to allow a single samurai to defeat numerous foes single-handedly. Rooted in the concept of ichi no tachi, or to strike in a single blow, practitioners of this style use a combination of immense speed and agility, battōjutsu, and acquired, observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements. Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.

Lucien took a special interest in the Dual Wield, which was a bit unique among sword users, as too few of them, were using more than one sword. Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū had several combat styles and techniques when it came to the Dual Wield and it was especially effective against an overwhelming number of enemies. Thus he started training with the two katanas he created out of his kagune. Both of them were a bit shorter compared to his primary katana which he used when he fought with only one sword.

Even though he was standing in the training field of the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory with a smile and his face and peacefully tranquil expression, he was under big pressure because of the records. Records which showed complete computation, at least partly, between Divine Warrior Cultivation System and their own Sacred Body Refining System or Immortal Cultivation.

"Damm Zelretch."

Cursed Lucien in a low voice as he watched several Magitek Airships flying side by side with Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory as they flew through the Space-Time Vortex to the God-Devil Plane. One year went by from the time he told his father about results from the Akashic Records, though he didn't tell him of his suspicion that Zelretch pranked them. From that day, everything seemed just too empty. Everyone was focusing on improving their personal strength as much as possible, cause even Viscount-Rank meant literally nothing in the God-Devil Plane. At least Count-Rank was required to be useful, but their advantage in the Dual Cultivation also meant that, if they are able to balance out their cultivation is some range, they could suppress cultivators in the same rank and kill them easily. For example, if Initial Count-Rank and Initial Xiantian Realm dual cultivator Sacred Devourer Ghoul fought Divine Warrior Type 7 (Early-Phase Count-Rank in Sacred Body Refining System) he would be able to kill him with ease. Stronger ones would be able to defeat Divine Warrior Rank 8 (Intermediate-Phase Count-Rank in Sacred Body Refining System)and have chance to escape from the weaker Divine Warrior Type 9 (Advanced-Phase Count-Rank in Sacred Body Refining System).

After some time of observing wonders of the Magitek Technology, he went to the estate of the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory to see the state of the Sacred Devourification Process on the several notable individualôs. Namely his soon-to-be wife Itori and future Holy Imperial Knights, Arima Kishō and Shen Tatara. There was also one more person, Mado Akira undergoing the Sacred Devourification Process. Soon enough he arrived at the special chambers where the process was ongoing and looked for the person responsible for watching over.

Actually, there were two people, both were elderly grandpas already with wrinkles over the face and white hair, clothed in white lab-coats, playing cards and trying to cheat.

"Good day, elders."

Said Lucien with a smile as he entered. Even though both were researchers, their own cultivation was pretty strong for their occupation as both of them were Viscount-Ranked. One of them was Sacred Devourer Ghoul and another one was Vampire.

"Your highness."

Both of them stood up and bowed slightly before sitting down again and trying to see the cards their opponent had.

"I want to ask honorable elders how the Sacred Devourification Process is going."

Asked Lucien in a polite voice. Though he was Crown Prince, he was still taught how to respect his elders, especially those of his race. Sacred Devourer Ghouls were too few, only numbering in three hundred or so, so their population was very protective of each other, it didn't matter if you are normal warrior, Noble or Imperial. The only thing that mattered was personal strength and other various factors as knowledge and so on. The researcher was very profound occupation as they were most educated in the Magitek Technology and other arts, many of them even held the noble title of Magister.

Nobility in the Holy Niflheim Empire was divided into four ranks from lowest from highest. Magister was first and was the lowest rank of the nobility among the Empire. Then there were High Lords, Archons and Hegemons. All of these three ranks would be responsible for leading Magitek Infantry Soldiers to conquer and manage territories in the God-Devil Plane.

"The process is going good for all four of them. It would take some years but soon, those three who were formerly ordinary ghouls would be fully transformed into Sacred Devourer Ghouls. That one, who was formerly human, that woman would take more time, as her race is changing completely from scratch. In regard to ordinary ghouls, this process is a bit easier as they are already ghouls, so their Sacred Devourification Process is shorter about two or three years."

Lucien nodded his head in understanding, though his education in this field was pathetic compared to two researchers in front of him, he still knew that so-called Race Change was a very laborious, troublesome, annoying and hard task to complete.

"Thank you for your work. Please watch over them so nothing happens."

Said Lujcien as he left. He also prepared some rewards for two researchers, blood essences namely so they could enhance their cultivation. What they were doing was a very troublesome task and they held great responsibility for the successful completion of the Sacred Devourifcation Process.

Next place where he went was one of the workshops, which was built on the free land of the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory, and it was producing and upgrading Magitek Infantry Soldiers. When they got complete comparation between cultivations systems, their Magitek Infantry Soldiers became useless so his father ordered to upgrade as many of them to the Advanced-Phase Viscount-Rank so they would reach Basic Magitek Standart.
