Holy Akashic Conqueror 121 Viscount Rank

Asked Akira after some time they were talking about a various thing, effectively switching the topic to a less comfortable one. Zelilios smiled sadly as he looked at her face, though now she was showing a bit of emotion, mainly sadness.

"Probably dead, all of them. You know, that place was laboratory belonging to the Kano Akihiro, the doctor that was researching process called Ghoulification Process, which is basically turning human into a ghoul, he is already dead, but he managed to reach rather disturbing results. He managed to turn the pure-blooded human into an artificial one-yed ghoul."

Said Zelilios to Akira after a short time of silence, which wasn't that much comfortable feeling. She looked like him like she had seen a ghost right now, and then she started looking down at her bed, probably thinking about something.

"Why would want someone to turn humans into ghouls, you should know it. Right?"

Zelilios smiled and started thinking about how much he could tell, thinking about what he already told her about himself being the Sacred Devourer Ghoul and also the fact, she can't escape from the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory, he decided to tell some things about Kano and of course, the most important information, the truth about the Washuu Clan.

"Dunno, probably some orders and plots from the Washuu Clan."

Said Zelilios causally as he continued watching Akira, she didn't miss the word and emphasis on the word, Washuu Clan. She was surprised that he mentioned the Washuu Clan, as they were creators of the Commission of Counter Ghoul and also, could be called protectors of humanity in entire Japan. They were protecting humans from ghouls for whole centuries already.

"The Washuu Clan are actually the clan of pure-blooded ghouls."

After this sentence was finished, Akira felt like she was struck by thunder or more to be precise, some kind of thunder tribulation. Information about the Washuu Clan being ghouls, was too much on her. Probably not only her but also, every other human.

"How?"

Asked she in a rather sad voice, feeling betrayed. Why not, her mother died when fighting for the CCG which were basically watchdogs of the Washuu Clan and her father died not long ago. Both of her parents were ghoul investigators and she also devoted her whole life to it. Now she felt that all of her efforts were totally for nothing, useless.

"How should I now. They blended into human society several hundred years and now we have the result. They are deeply rooted in human society and they can't be removed so easily now. My tip is that they are trying to get more power and are trying to control humans from behind, because of this they created the Commission of Counter Ghoul so they got a better position in controlling humans. Thanks to that they got a huge deal of political and military power and of course, a constant source of food."

Akira started then thinking about various things she heard now, especially about the Washuu Clan and other things that Zelilios told her today. Then they were talking about various things, mainly about some things about ghouls and some minor details about him.

=============================================

Lucien was currently in his room in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory and was resting after this day. After laying on the bed for two hours or so, he decided to go increase his cultivation as he was feeling it was the right time to reach Viscount-Rank. He was already long enough at the Baron-Rank and he felt he had stabilized his foundation enough so it was the right time. He had calculated that when he reached Viscount-Rank now, then he would need around the year and a half to stabilize his Viscount-Ranked cultivation base.

Afterward, he brought out several tens of bloody red beads, highest quality blood essences and started them refining one by one. At first one was very fast to digest and his RC Level was increasing with lightning speed. As he was nearing to the border of required RC Level, he started giving signs of lowering the digestion speed. Instead, Lucien took out more Blood Essences and ate them like they were candies. Two hours later, he finally reached the threshold required for the breakthrough.

He took out one drop of blood from the Sacred Blood Crystal and ate it together with several blood essences. The moment he ate that all, he felt huge energy surge through his whole body and all of his bones, muscles, tissues, and cells were undergoing through massive strengthening and evolution. He officially became Viscount-Ranked Sacred Devourer Ghoul.

There were several notable changes he felt now. One of them was that his body was countless times stronger compared to the Baron-Rank, he was Body Refiner so cultivation and strength of his body was a top priority. Another change was that he felt another type of kagune in his body, to be more concrete he had Ukaku-Type Kagune now.

He turned on his kakugan and unleashed his kagune wings. They were beautiful with a wingspan over three meters or so. They looked like some kind of crystals in bloody red and black color, creating a very wonderful sight. Even though his wings looked like some piece of art, in reality, they were an extremely deadly tool to kill enemies. Now he had one more long distance weapon without need to create kagune daggers out of his Rinkaku. Even though creating kagune daggers and controlling them through his telekinesis was very effective, he practically gave up on any other form of combat, but now he had Ukaku wings, he could just create a shower of kagune crystal projectiles and shot them at the enemy until they die.

He even had now two permanent Rinaku Tails which could be used in a fight any time. His combat style would become more diverse and more unpredictable. Now that he had reached the Viscount-Rank, he knew that he had only a small amount of time before they would leave this world. He needed to spend most of his time cultivating and stabilizing his new foundation and also if possible, reaching the Kakuja V1 state.
