43 Honor (1/2)

Both Lucien and Washuu Tsunemoro jumped away from each other after the initial clash. Elder of Washuu Clan, realised that in terms of physical strength he if far weaker than Lucien but his kenjutsu is more refined and experienced than Lucien's. This gave him slight advantage during this fight.

But when he realised that Lucien was manipulating several kagune daggers to attack members of Vasuki. Even though they were nothing more than chess pieces, they still held their value. After first wave of attacks, mercenaries attacked still schocked agents of V, which gave them some moment of suprise.

Lucien and Elder Washuu Tsunemoro exchanged several strikes and nobody had any advanatage. Lucien had better physical strength and Washuu Tsunemoro had better kenjutsu. One of weaknesses of ordinary ghouls was fact that they would be weaker with getting older. Sacred Devourer Ghouls didn't have this kind of weakness.

”Your kenjutsu is very exceptional Elder Tsunemoro, in this regard I must admit my defeat. Its my honor to exchange pointers with you.”

He complimented kenjutsu of Elder Tsunemoro and bowed lightly. It was truth that Elder's kenjutsu was more refined and sharped than his own. He was only at Samurai Realm in kenjutsu but it must be said that he reached that realm not long ago and didn't have enough experiences.

”Same could be said about your physical strength and speed. I am already old and I don't have that in me already.”

Returned compliment to the Lucien, Elder Tsunemoro. It was a little weird to see two people who are trying to kill each other, being so polite to each other. Lucien and Washuu Tsunemoro understood regarded it as noble manners.

Both of them took battle stances as they gripped strongly thier respective katanas. Iado, japanese martial art that ephasizes being aware and capable of quickly drawing the sword and responding to a sudden attack.

They performed perfect iado and their swords clashed, sparks were in air and both of them were gazing at each other. Their duel was in blank point.

Same cannot be said about agents of V that were fightning against mercenaries. Lucien was even supporting them by usage of kagune daggers. He managed kill several agents of V when they were occupied by fightning mercenaries, whose Lucien brought. But mercenaries too had some loses. Several of them managed to get killed.

Lucien looked at this and knew numbers of mercenaries were decreasing so hi gave signal. He shot one kagune dagger high in the air and then he let it fall onto ground, creating smaller crater. This was signal to Uta who was hiding in the shadows. He needed him to act. His strength was above SS-rate abd now his abilities were far stronger as he recieved many blood essences from Lucien as well as simplified version of combat technique.

Suddenly Uta appeared in his second mask, resembling a bird with a wide beak and four small holes on the side. Several tails materialised from his back in mere seconds and managed to kill two agents of Vasuki by taking them by suprise.

When Elder Washuu Tsunemoro saw that he was clearly mad. He knew that powerful one has appeared and he was locked in combat with Lucien. He was now regretting for not bringing stronger combatants. All agents here were only A-rated ghouls or half-humans with ability of First-Class Ghoul Investigator. Only minority of them were at S-rate.

Now that Uta has came to support him, Lucien could freely fight with Elder Tsunemoro. He knew that after some time all mercenaries would be killed even with his support. Agents of Vasuki had numerical advantage which wasn't small one. Fortunately he ordered Uta to come with him, and hide near by.
