The Holy Chronicles of Baator

The next day, we continued our training as we searched for Commander-Level Monsters, especially those at the peak of the Level.

After some time, we started playing a game. Who will have the highest kill count of Commander-Level Monsters. I also taught some magic to Venelana, especially the Norse one, as Asgardians have one of the strongest branches of magic across the Draconic Deus Supernatural World.

On the other side, I have mastered another rune for Fire and even perfected my mastery of the Adept-Rank. My mastery over Gravity magic also reached Adept-Rank due to continuous usage of Gravity magic.

Concerning the Dark Light, I was far from reaching Expert-ranked mastery as Dark Light was a tough Clan Trait to master, similar to the Power of Destruction.

After another two months, I felt that I made plenty of progress in expanding my Demonic Energy reserves as I felt they expanded pretty well; while not reaching the pinnacle, it was a good progression.

Besides expanding the energy reserves by meditation or similar things, there was another, and a rather simple method, while it was tiring. Continuously exhausting your energy reserves to the brink of energy exhaustion and letting them regenerate. Slowly, the energy reserves would expand naturally.

I have also felt that my body got stronger with all that training, not much, but I was slowly reaching the pinnacle of the Middle-Class in Body attributes, meaning my physical might be good. Soon enough, I would be able to refine the potion or pill and reach the physique of the High-Class.

Today was one of the last days we spent in the Sunset Monster Mountain Range, as both of us had decided to go home already. I was Lord of the House, so I already had enough responsibilities and could not stay in the seat too long.

It was rather ironic, as when I am at home, I just cope in the library and study magic, but the difference is that I can always react to it if something happens. While I am here, it is not possible.

'Architect, do a scan.'

[Class: High

Demonic Energy: 91

Strength: 49

Agility: 49

Vitality: 47]

'Hmm... my energy reserves are rising steadily, and soon they would reach Ultimate-Class soon enough, while my physique should be able to withstand the potion I would use to reach the High-Class in my physique.'

I thought in my head as I observed the increase in power. Especially the Demonic Energy reserves, I have crossed 91 units which was outstanding progress. When I reach Ultimate-Class, it will be a new world for me.

My several-month trip to the Sunset Monster Mountain Range was worth it, as I got what I wanted to obtain the most.

Combat experiences.

While I may have power, I didn't have any kind of battle experience before my trip or had a minimum of them.

After completing the training trip, where I spent most of my time during the day and even sometime during the night fighting monsters or sparring with Venelana, I have gotten much better in combat, which made me feel rather accomplished.

"We should be going back home already."

I said as I was strolling through some forest in the dammed place with Venelana.

"Hmm... it has been four months already."

Muttered Venelana as she looked around.

"Are you perhaps sad that our short trip is ending? Will you miss me? I am sooo happy."

I said with a slight grin as I couldn't help to tease her a little.

"Maybe yes, maybe not... who knows. I will see you at a later date."

Answered Venelana back as she looked at me.

"You are welcome to the Castle Fuerig any time to visit me. Just sent me a message some time prior. I will be researching Norse Magic when I return back home, so I will be occupied."

I said with a slight smile.

I also planned to research how to awake my dormant Clan Trait Devour. An awakening that Clan Trait would allow me to devour demonic energy or magical power begins with the same power level as me, meaning I could easily grow in power very fast.

"That would be nice."

"Also, could you please arrange a meeting with Lord Zekram? I have some things that are in dire need of attention, and it would be very good to discuss them with him."

I said quietly. Getting Zekram Bael on my side was crucial for my plans to come to fruition. Even in canon, that man was practically ruler of the Underworld after the Devil Civil War, when Houses of Original Satans fell.

Now, he was practically the political rival of the House of Lucifer, and the might of the House of Bael could be currently matched only by that of the House of Lucifer. However, with House of Lucifer, there were Six Houses of Lucifer, which gave them a slight advantage.

That also brought me another problem, how to deal with them. Six Houses of Lucifer are loyal to the Lucifer House, and I can be counted as one. I predicted that when I reached Ultimate-Class, my bloodline would also get stronger, and it may affect my appearance, among other things, so getting trademark silver hair could be cool, but I would need to hide them with illusion.

Still, Six Houses are not a problem; if I became Head of the Lucifer House, which in reality is rather easy, as in canon, Rizevim wasn't interested. The entire house was led by Lord Lucifuge, who was the father of Grayfia and Euclid.

If I do that, then only the other three houses of Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus would be my enemies. So I will focus on them and kill as many descendants of them during the Great War. During such chaos, nobody would notice a few carefully planned assassinations.

"That would be possible. I will talk to grandpa."

Said Venelaan with a smile, though she looked a bit uneasy, and I quickly understood it.

"You can tell him."

"Really?"

"Yeh."

This was a bit of a gamble on my side. But alas, I need to get Zekram on my side, and as I know him, he wouldn't be able to pass an opportunity like this. He will realize very quickly that I want to replace Original, and if it is successful, House of Bael, through the marriage of Venelana and me, would rise to new heights.
