After Lucien returned to the estate, he decided he would give mercenaries two weaker Blood-Essences as a reward to increase their RC Level. Lucien was in complete control when he was extracting Blood-Essences; he could even design how many pellets would be from one process.
He extracted it from B-Rated ghouls into two blood essences each and then put them away.
Then he extracted Blood-Essence from the several tens of corpses of agents of Vasuki and some of the mercenaries who died. He couldn't leave their body, be just buried in the ground, because the ghoul's body was an extremely precious material for refinement.
Lucien spent the entire night extracting Blood-Essences, they were too many of them, and some of them were being extracted separately cause some of those Blood-Essences would be given to Itori and Uta.
Itori would be his future wife, as it was already decided in his head.
To Uta, he became his friend and was his most trusted subordinate here in Tokyo; besides that, and he helped where he could, as was shown today.
After Lucien was finished, he counted all blood essences he had, those he extracted now, and those as his share from his family, from ghouls he killed today; Lucien managed to extract over twenty Blood-Essences.
This number could be seen as small, but each blood essence was refined from three corpses of an A-Rated ghoul or so. Their potency was high.
Lucien had a rather significant number of blood essences refined from Greater Demons. As Greater Demons started to appear more and more on Blood Island, Aeon House started to hunt them more and more.
They obtained more Blood-Essences and thus could cultivate to higher stages. It could be said that the portal is a gold mine unless the flood of demons with hundreds of Greater Demons and Demon Nobles would come.
Lucien sat in a cross-legged position and started eating Blood-Essences like candies; he always ate them in pairs.
He stored the rest of his Blood-Essences into his Cross Crest and used The Game to look at his statistics.
Lucien opened his record and was eager to see changes. He wasn't using it often, maybe once per month, to check on his progress.

Abilities: Telekinesis - Beta]
His Telekinesis was Ranked as Beta Level, which wasn't exactly that bad, but the problem with that is, it lacked the AOE effect. He could lift up a car easily, but he could not lift up tanks and planes or move buildings.
That was Alpha Level, he wished he could achieve that, but he had a tough time training the Telekinesis Ability.
After that, Lucien went to sleep as he was tired from the entire day and mainly from that fight.
The next day he immediately went to the training room and activated his Kakuja V1 to see its power. It still looked the same. His entire left arm was covered in kakuja body armor, and his right hand was an extremely sharp katana, waiting for blood.
Lucien tried to fight a little and did some shadow sparring. He knew that Kakuja V1 didn't give something like boosts to the user's strength or something; it just provided partial body armor with one weapon, based on the user's imagination.
Real strong kakuja forms were the other three. In contrast, the other three versions gave a considerable boost in physical abilities, healing factors, and even reflexes.
And what was most important, the final version of Kakuja V4 had wings, which gave him the ability to fly.
Sadly Lucien never had a good opportunity to use those wings before.
What was shocking was the fact that the final version of Kakuja, Kakuja V4, gave an extremely large physical boost. For example, if Lucien achieved Kakuja V4, he could fight with even strong SS-Rated Ghouls and win with ease; more importantly, he could even easily escape from the SSS-Rated ones.
After that, Lucien called Darkwalker and gave him Blood-Essences, which he extracted for mercenaries.
After finishing that, he returned to his training.
He spent the rest of his time training. Until the day somebody came to his estate to find him. Lucien knew that only a few people would come here; thus, he wasn't very surprised to see Uta here.
"Game is starting?"
Asked Lucien with a vicious grin on his face. He knew that Red October was already here, and the game was starting as Souta would make his move today.
'Steel Beam Incident, how long I have waited for you.'
Thought Lucien in his mind.
"Yes, Lucien-san, we should rather go."
Spoke Uta.
During this time, he also got more powerful thanks to Blood-Essences Lucien provided to him and especially that simplified version of Rinkaku Martial Arts he gave him. Uta was a strong nihilist, and his entire life was a pursuit of the meaning of life.
But when Lucien talked a bit about some things, he started to feel one desire. The desire to get stronger and kill. This came from his side, which he thought was long forgotten, but he still considered Lucien, his friend.
Lucien nodded his head and then went to change his clothes to suit. He knew that he won't fight today and would just observe. Now was the only morning or so; Lucien wanted to take a tour through the city because Steel Beam Incident would happen only in the evening.
He already had his battle attire prepared, and nobody knew what that madman would do.
