Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi smiled at this question, as it was a very logical and understandable one. It was very weird for the ghoul to attain such strength, despite not being the Sacred Devourer Ghoul. Lucien was truly perplexed at how he achieved this feat.
"I am truly old and my memory isn't serving me good compared to the past, so I must apologize for this."
Said Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi to Lucien. He knew that Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi was laying, as there was absolutely no reason why to tell him this kind of information. This was also strategy as their strength was on the same level and nobody would know the final winner of this match.
"Don't worry Grand Elder, If I should think about some possibilities I would say only one thing about your great strength and power. As this wasn't achieved by some cultivation method or natural strengthening, then this leads us to one conclusion."
Said Lucien slowly and Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi already had bad look on his face as he knew that Lucien was already aware of the reason behind his strength. Truthfully it wasn't so hard to deduce it. If it wasn't cultivation or natural strengthening or something similar then we could search an answer in one thing. Science.
"Genetical Modification, am I right?"
Asked Lucien in curious voice and watched as an expression of the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi was only worsening to the point of being extremely ugly. I was apparent that Lucien was right and found the true reason. Now when he had a reason, he already had a person responsible in his mind for all of this. Only one man was doing so many experiments on ghouls, humans and other breeds to the extreme. Kanou Akihiro.
"Seeing your face is like seeing the answer. Should I continue? I already have a person in my mind responsible for all of this. The one responsible for the operation that happened after the Steel Beam Incident and he managed to create first artificial one-yed ghoul in this world. A human created something miraculous like this, without the help of our race, but it would be impossible without the help of your clan, right?"
Continued Lucien. Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi was aware that truth was revealed and that Lucien knew about Kanou Akihiro and his numerous experiments. If this was also known to the Aeon House, and especially now when the Washuu Clan was weakened by a significant margin as many of their Elders and agents of the Vasuki died in this expedition, it could have terrible consequences.
"Hmm, good young one. Now we must fight to the death, either I perish or you."
Said Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi as he gripped his katana and rushed at Lucien with top-speed. Lucien did the same action, but different from the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi, as he wasn't attacking but he only dodged the attack in a high-speed.
When he successfully dodged the attack and was behind the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi he threw his kagune katana at him with his full power, penetrating his right shoulder. The Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi growled in pain, as the katana pierced through his shoulder totally and created rather a serious injury. Lucien aimed at the right shoulder for a simple reason. The Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi was right-handed and now his combat prowess would be reduced to some extent.
Then he congealed kagune tail, the permanent one as he couldn't congeal other ones, and rushed at the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi. He jumped at the air and with his tail, he slashed at the place, where the katana was stabbed. He didn't manage to sever the arm completely as the kakuja was too huge and too dense, but he creates large enough wound and with the additional strike, Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi would be without the entire arm.
Lucien then used telekinesis on his kagune katana, which shot towards him and Lucien caught it with great speed and attacked once more when he was still in the air. But sadly, his attack this time was only half effective as the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi blocked the incoming katana and punched at Lucien, shooting him away several meters.
Lucien got up and split a little amount of blood, but he was relatively fine. On the other side, the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi was severely injured and couldn't use his right hand to attack anymore and was forced to hold his katana with his left hand.
He dropped his katana and rushed at the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi, just with his tail as his weapon. When he was already before him, he slashed at the right led with his tail and at the same time he used his telekinesis to control his kagune katana to do the same thing to his left leg. As this happened to the fact, he managed to deliver two deep cuts, on both legs of the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi, intercepting his ability to walk, to some extent.
This was Lucien's actual strategy. To immobilize his opponent. Then when the opponent can't move properly, he would exit his Kakuja V2, and through telekinesis he would bombard him with kagune daggers, killing him in the process.
Then Lucien turned around and with his tail and slashed at the left leg and at the same time, kagune katana also attacked left leg of the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi with full power. This time, Lucien managed to sever his left leg, causing the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi to lose stance and fell on his right knee.
Then he jumped away from him and exited his Kakuja V2 and created tens of kagune daggers to maximum and looked at the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi. Now both of them knew that the fight was ended and the winner was decided.
"Ha, this was a hell of a good fight. It was my honor. Now do what must be done."
Said the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi. Only a few short words, but for Lucien, it was enough. His words contained everything. Admitting defeat and also recognition. Lucien nodded his head and sent several tens of kagune daggers to attack the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi.
They flew at a terrifying speed and each one had great penetrative and destructive power. The Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi died in the process.
Lucien looked around him and looked at some parts of the destroyed floor. He walked to the corpse of the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi and stored it in his Cross Crest. This would do a good blood essence. Lucien was already saving some blood essences for the Devourification process as it also required many blood essences from what Lucien found in books when he was reading in the library in Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory.
Then he walked to the wall, which was created from those blue shining crystal and stood before small mechanism. This mechanism required two things to open. One was that seal, which Lucien found in the pagoda and another thing was the blood of the pure-blooded Sacred Devourer Ghoul.
