Holy Akashic Conqueror 174 Aftermath The Horde

So, most of the surviving mutated beasts started to run from the battlefield as they knew that the battle was over, though the soldiers of the Imperial Army and Holy Imperial Knight Order were closely pursuing them and killing every mutated beast that was running from the battlefield.

a.s.sa.s.sin-Cla.s.s Magitek Soldiers were also deployed in the purse, now there were around one thousand and five hundred a.s.sa.s.sin-Cla.s.s Magitek Soldiers that were deployed. Soon enough, after four more hours, every mutated beast was killed and they could start scavenging works on the battlefield as the corpses of the mutated beasts were a precious treasure to the Holy Niflheim Empire as they were base material for the blood essences and their Nuclei were manufactured into the Magitek Energy Crystals.

"Commander Nalthos how is the state of the Imperial Army and the Magitek Infantry?"

Asked Lucien with some concern visible in his voice, especially towards the Imperial Army as they weren't that numerous. Magitek Infantry wasn't that big of a problem, as they could be rebuilt in any Magitek Factory in a short amount of time.

"From the side of the Imperial Army we have zero losses only some injured but that is all. Magitek Infantry suffered a lot, almost half of our Magitek Infantry Soldiers were destroyed in the battle, and the rest are damaged to some extent."

Reported Commander Nalthos. The results were rather good, considering that they were attacked by ruled of the continent as it was Peak-Grade Type 9 mutated beast, together with other Type 9 mutated beasts and tens of thousands of mutated beasts army.

"That is not much problem, they could be repaired or built anew. Now is the most important thing to secure the continent and attack another one to dispose of that Black Wyrm that is the overlord of that one. Then we would have entire planet Telos under our control and finally construct the defense ring over the planet."

Answered Lucien as he was observing the battlefield, at least what was left from it. Almost all defense measures such as Magitek Towers or others were completely destroyed under the number of the mutated beast horde and everywhere were corpses of the mutated beasts or destroyed Magitek Infantry Soldiers.

When they fully controlled this planet, only then Holy Niflheim Empire could fully use their all resources and begun expansion towards other planets and objects. Currently, they were controlling the entire system, which was called Telos System, there were many asteroids rich on minerals and metals, and some planets with mutated beasts. For those planets, they planned to have them full of mutated beasts as farms for blood essences and meat.

In the Aizhouma Universe, their strength was probably not bad, considering the fact, they had several powerhouses on the Peak-Grade Type 9 Divine Warrior and two people on Type 10 as his grandfather and patriarch of Vampire Clan broke to the Marquise-Rank.

"After one month of recuperation, we will launch an attack on that dammed Wyrm, before it will attack us. Only Holy Imperial Knights would partic.i.p.ate in that attack so we would dispose of them quickly and swiftly."

Lucien was fearing situation when that Peak-Grade Type 9 mutated beast would launch an attack on them with their army as they were recuperating. Of course, they could dispose of them easily, but they would still do some damage with their overwhelming numbers so it was better to attack them right now.

Whole last week Lucien spent refining blood essences and simultaneously devouring them to increase his Body Cultivation using the Sacred Body Refining System. His aim was to reach the level of ten million RC cells to break through to the Marquise-Rank.

By reaching the Marquise-Rank he would undergo major evolution as his grandfather said. Reaching the Marquise-Rank meant being closer to their originator Sacred Devourer. Basically, it is about fusing kakuja and kagune into the body, creating an extremely terrifying body and obtaining something akin to fake immortality, as can still be killed though it will be either by using much higher power than you or some unordinary means.

Additionally, with this merge, you would obtain your own Zanpakutō or something like that. Basically you will use part of your soul as material together with parts of kagune and kakuja. As Lucien was sitting cross-legged and devouring one blood essence after another, all of them refined from the slaughtered beast horde, he suddenly felt that he reached his limit.

After some more time and devouring some blood essences, he managed to reach the Pinnacle of the Marquise-Rank, reaching the RC Level of the 10,000,000. Now was the most important step of the breaking through, which was a merge of the Kakuja and Kagune into the bones of the cultivator. This step was always considered as extremely dangerous as the process was very hard and painful.

Lucien started calling out his kakuja, which looked like huge bioma.s.s of some matter and his kakuhou organs were also trembling. The process of fusion between his skeletal structure and kakuja and kagune was a rather slow process.

One hour later, the bioma.s.s was already half as small compared to before and it was slowly getting smaller and smaller, as the bioma.s.s of the kagune and kakuja was constantly being devoured by Lucien constantly.

The first process of breaking through was merging with the skeleton of the cultivator, while the second step of the breaking through to the Marquise-Rank was the creation of the Zanpakutō like katanas out of his kagune and kakuja with his soul as another material.

The process of merging with kakuja, kagune and kakuhou was very weird feeling, but at the same time as it was giving him an immense pain, it was also very pleasant feeling, as he felt that his physique was already around 25-times more powerful compared to the Pinnacle-Count Rank, and he wasn't even in the Marquise-Rank.
