Chapter 71 - Sternritter

Asmodeus nodded in an awkward feeling, and then he started to think about the other two people who could be worthy of the Awakening process and the usage of the Royal Blood Crystal on them.

He only found one such person, and that was, of course, Arima Kishou, as he was a peerless combat genius, but he couldn't think about the second person.

"Who are the other two? One of them should be White Reaper, Arima Kishou, as I can't see anyone more worthy and suitable than him, but who is the second one?"

Asked Asmodeus with great curiosity.

"Tatara. The remnant of the Chi Shen Lian, he is greatly talented in the field of martial arts, hand-to-hand combat, and also combats with kagune. I have sparred with him several times, and I must say, he is powerful and talented. He could even learn during the battle itself and adapt his combat style to the combat style of his enemy; he would be a great help for us in the future."

Hearing this, Asmodeus nodded his head in agreement, and then he wanted to ask about Lucien's chosen wives. Even though he believed in his son, he wanted to meet them at least once. But now it wasn't the right time to do that, as he should return soon, together with the three Blood-Essence Extractors.

Both of them then talked about the situation on Blood Island a bit and some other topics. After some time, Asmodeus took three Blood-Essence Extractors and went back to the Blood Island; he then left Tokyo, using Lucien's jet.

After his father left, Lucien was relatively happy, as everything he had done was good, and also he got his silent approval to do as he wished. The Blood Island would undergo another series of huge changes as the three additional Blood-Essence Extractors were obtained.

This would significantly enhance the entire House's strength and the strength of former royal guards, now Sternritter, or the Star Knights, but the German name sounded way better.

Currently, the Sternritter has only four members. One was the person, who trained with Lucien regularly, Nalthos, who was now Grandmaster of the Sternritter, as he was as strong as his father now.

Besides him, there were also three others. Namely Arseahr, Loruel, and Zelilius. Loruel was the only female amongst the four of them, and she was a very good friend of Lucien's mother, Selene.

All four of them were the strongest of the entire Noble Ghoul race, and thus they were tasked with being the Sternritter, as it was decided there would be a limited amount of them.

Lucien wanted to make Arima Kishou and Tatara Sternritter because both of them had great potential and were experienced and talented.

Lucien then went to train a bit and also trained in kenjutsu as he felt.

Tomorrow he would visit Uta and discuss some preparations for the 11th Ward Battle and Cochlea Raid, and also he needed to visit Itori and inform her about recent developments in the situation. He also planned to visit Anteiku and also again Eto.

After some time of training, he went to sleep. Before going to sleep, he spent some time reading through books in the library, especially those books he obtained in the Ancestral Site of the Shi Xue Clan.

***

The next day in the morning, Lucien woke up rather early, and as usual, he did his routine. Coffee, training kenjutsu, and reading some books. After finishing his favorite routine, he went to the Helter Skelter Bar.

"Hi, my dear."

Lucien said while he hugged Itori close to him and gave her a kiss. Itori immediately returned his kiss with great passion, and then they both sat down, and Lucien started telling her all those joyous news. He talked about how his father gave a silent approval.

Itori was happy about all of these. And another thing that made her happy was that she would be able to help Lucien in his future fights.

"Itori, soon the 11th Ward Battle would begin. I also plan to participate in this operation as this is the perfect chance to greatly weaken both the Washuu Clan and also Commission of Counter Ghoul. Our true purpose is the Cochlea prison and frees all ghouls inside the prison. Then we could wreak havoc as much as we want."

Lucien explained all of his plans to Itori and told her if she found an appropriate opportunity, she would be free to hunt and kill as many ghoul investigators in the 14th Ward as she wanted. Because the Commission of Counter Ghoul would concentrate all of their forces in the 11th Ward, all other wards would be weakened slightly, but then he thought about another possibility.

Because of Lucien's achievements, his father informed him that they could send one person to Tokyo to help Lucien in his matters. Especially in his fight against the Washuu Clan and their lackeys. Lucien chose one of the Sternritter, N0.3 Zelilius. of theSternritter.

Spearman with extremely dangerous spear technique.

Lucien knew that the Sternritter N0.3 Zelilius would arrive either tomorrow or the day after.

"Good, then I would also join the fun when the battle would erupt."

Said Itori with a smile on her face, as she was happy that she could help Lucien.

"But you won't be going alone. Soon, someone from the Blood Island would arrive as support, and he would also be responsible for your safety. You two would join hands and attack some ghoul investigators during the 11th Ward Battle and kill them for sure. I will give you a list tomorrow. Some of them have great potential and should be killed, while others are either Associate Special Class Ghoul Investigators or Special Class Ghoul Investigators. Remember, we must do everything in order to annihilate the Washuu Clan and kill those blood traitors."

Lucien said with a strong hatred in his voice.
