Chapter 57 - Blood and Snow

Now Lucien was thinking about the plan of how to deal with them all before they could report something to the higher-ups. However, even when they would report the attack to the higher-ups, it would solve nothing.

The only thing achieved would be reinforcements sent here, and those would be composed of B-Rated and A-Rated ghoul mercenaries, which are like ants to Lucien with his telekinesis and kagune daggers duo.

Fortunately for him, those idiots were all gathered in one place. This was a huge mistake, and they would pay dearly for their stupidity. Lucien went closer to them; he was sneaking around because he didn't want to lose the moment of surprise when he would attack; when he was close enough, he started congealing kagune daggers.

Now he could congeal around twenty to thirty of them because of his higher RC Level. When he congealed the kagune daggers to the max, more concretely thirty-six, he started to control them and chose targets.

By making this surprise attack, he wanted to slaughter all those B-Rated ants and weaker A-Rated rats. When preparations for the ambush were done, with a simple thought, a bloody massacre started. All daggers shot towards pre-determined targets with frightening speed, and blood was scattering in the air.

But not only blood but heads of some unfortunate mercenaries who couldn't even react properly r were also flying in the air, with a shocked expression on the severed head as it was falling down on the snow, painting it in bloody crimson color.

Those with greater luck would have only their throats cut, so it wasn't such humiliating death, thought Lucien. The entire dance of death and festival of blood took only two minutes. Two minutes later, fifty mercenaries were reduced to four, from whose two had severed entire arms and blood was spraying from the wounds, and two were relatively fine.

Nothing really happened to those agents of Vasuki and those middle-aged men who were members of the Washuu Clan itself, as they weren't targets of this slaughter.

Now that Lucien had cleared the field for the game, he could start the fight.

Lucien turned on his kakugan, his iris quickly turned red, and the sclera turned pitch black with red veins across the eye and to the skin around the eye. His face was hidden under the Hollow Mask, and only his kakugan was visible.

He congealed several kagune tails and rushed to the four mercenaries. He wanted to finish them as soon as possible because then he would have more time to deal with troublesome members of the Vasuki and Washuu Clan. Because two of them were severely injured, when Lucien appeared before them, only one slash with a kagune tail was enough to put them into eternity.

Then he congealed kagune katana and rushed at another close mercenary with lightning speed, and with one precise slash, he severed his head from his body, as his blood sprayed the entire surrounding with blood.

The same fate was of the last mercenary as his head was also severed from his body, and Lucien watched it lifelessly fall onto the ground.

Then he turned around and saw that those ten agents of Vasuki and five Washuu Clan members had already taken battle stances and held their weapons. Some of them had their kakugans turned on, which meant they were ghouls.

All five middle-aged men from the Washuu Clan were ghouls, and only three agents of Vasuki were ghouls. The rest was probably half-humans.

Lucien immediately entered Kakuja V1, as his left arm was covered in kakuja armor, and his katana, which he was holding in his right hand, changed slightly.

Now it looked more imposing and dangerous than before.

"If you don't start, then forgive me."

Said Lucien seeing that those five middle-aged men from the Washuu Clan weren't talkative ones, because they were standing in some kind of formation.

Lucien wanted to forcefully breach it, as he was much stronger than them.

He appeared before the agents who stood in the middle of that formation and slashed with his katana, aiming at his neck.

The agent was probably one of the strongest agents of Vasuki here because he was taking the central position of the formation; their swords clashed, and sparks were in the air.

As they clashed, the rest of the agents quickly surrounded them, and two were already preparing to attack Lucien from behind.

Lucien only smiled at this, and shortly after those two agents were close enough, a red kagune tail materialized from his back and attacked those two agents, tearing them apart.

This was the beauty of a permanent kagune tail. He couldn't use the normal kagune tails during the Kakuja state, but the permanent kagune tail could still be used.

Then he used his tail to attack the agent before him, killing him in an instant because he couldn't react.

After that, Lucien jumped and performed a flip backward and swiftly escaped the encirclement of his enemies. With a wide smile, he looked at all agents of Vasuki and members of the Washuu Clan before him. Only a shame that they can't see his smile because he wore the mask.

"Hmm, so the elite agents of Vasuki amount only to this. Ts, ts, ts, pure disappointment. I thought your elite hunting dogs would be stronger, Washuu Clan."

Complained Lucien about the weak power of his opponents. Because he managed to kill the three of them in such a short time, it clearly showed his far superior power and their weakness. Even though the faces of V agents remained unchanged and indifferent, deep inside, they knew that situation was bad.

Very bad.

The same goes for the five middle-aged men of the Washuu Clan. They also knew that this was a dead end and nobody would save them. Elders and Grand Elder were deep inside the Kunlun Mountains, and they won't be sending reinforcements for them.

"What do you want, Aeon?"

Asked one of five middle-aged men of the Washuu Clan because all five of them were clothed in the same clothing. Also, they wore the same masks; it was rather hard to know who was who from the outer perspective.

"I? Many things, but now I want only one thing."

Lucien said, while he took a battle stance and gripped his katana strongly, then he looked at the agents of Vasuki and those members of the Washuu Clan.

"To paint this snow with your blood."
