The Holy Chronicles of Baator

After walking for more than five hours, I finally arrived in the forest. Green trees and various wildlife were a very refreshing change compared to the outskirts of the Sunset Monster Mountain Range.

During my journey here, I have killed tens of Minion Level monsters; all of them were pathetically weak. But it was worth it, as I got was I currently needed most, practicing my spells and Clan Trait.

Using my Dark Light was probably the best experience I had in my new life so far. Dark Light looked exactly like Light abilities performed by Angels, Fallen Angels, and Gods of Light of various mythologies, just with the exception it had several streaks of Darkness in it.

Like creating weapons out of it, I could mold it similarly like Angels do it or coating my own weapon to give it additional destructive power. I could create Dark Light Spears, which was also my favorite, as I constantly tried to mimic Gilgamesh from Type-Moon I watched as my aim was recreating the Gate of Babylon.

In truth, it wasn't that hard, as I was pretty talented with Dark Light molding. Unfortunately, I could create only one portal that could continuously shoot Dark Light Spears, but it was good to start now.

Based on Architect's calculations, I would create the initial Gate of Babylon when I had Expert Mastery over Dark Light. Then half-open, with tens of portals if I have Master Mastery over Dark Light and be Ultimate-Class, and finally to replicate full Gate of Babylon, I need to reach Grandmaster-Ranked Mastery over Dark Light and Satan-Class of later stages, as Demonic Energy to sustain it needs to be enormous and only then my energy regeneration would be enough.

Still, even now, Dark Light is a truly destructive Clan Trait if I have just one portal.

I sat down on a nearby rock, as I was tired out of all of this walking, not physically; with my physique, it was impossible to be tired out of something small, but mentally.

I sat down and started training in the Dark Light ability, as this place was very silent and peaceful. And thus, as I was sitting on the rock and training the Dark Light, hour after hour passed as I was immersed in my training, not hearing that someone already stood behind me and watching me.

I only noticed it thanks to Architect detecting the Demonic Energy signature. As soon as I noticed it, I took out the Rosencreutz and coated it with Dark Light, as I also created several Dark Light spears aiming at the person behind me.

When I turned around, I was pretty much shocked to see who it was.

"You don't need to be wary of me, Lord Gremory or Lucifer, or Gremory von Lucifer... whatever you are."

Said a young woman with flaxen hair and violet eyes. She had a beautiful figure, and the most notable feature besides her warm smile she was displaying was her breasts, which I could not help myself peek a little, to which she giggled a bit.

Venelana Bael is apparently currently in the Sunset Monster Mountain Range.

'Architect scan her.'

I commanded in my head.

[Name: Venelana Bael

Race: Pure-Blooded Devil - Bloodline: Bael, ???

Age: 160

-

Class: High

Demonic Energy: 99

Strength: 25

Agility: 28

Vitality: 20]

When I looked at the scan provided by Architect, I was surprised, but not by much. I knew that Venelana was strong, far stronger than she looked. She was younger than me by 20 years and already was nearly an Ultimate-Class Devil, as her Demonic Energy reserves were at the pinnacle of the High-Class.

Though her physical body was weaker than mine, I doubted I could beat her. Even though I have one advantage: Dark Light and a stronger body, she had more Demonic Energy, her Clan Trait Power of Destruction is as destructive as my Dark Light, and most importantly, her combat experiences are probably a hundred times richer than mine.

"Gremory von Lucifer sounds good; maybe in the future, I will use it. What do I owe this pleasure of meeting you, my Lady, the Brown-haired Ruin Princess?"

I bowed slightly as I kissed her hand.

"Fate, my Lord. Would you believe that answer?"

"Maybe."

"I, too was training in the Sunset Monster Mountain Range, as I am preparing to reach Ultimate-Class, and I wanted to fight some General Level monster to experience Life and Death Battle."

Said Venelana with a soft voice that gave me chills through my spine for some reason.

"And as I was looking for some targets to practice, I felt some demonic energy waves, so I was curious to see someone here, so I needed to check. Imagine seeing my surprise, seeing that the new Lord Gremory is also a descendant of Lucifer. Don't worry, your little secret is safe with me, though I want something in exchange."

"What?"

I asked out politely. It was understandable that she would want something in return. It was an equivalent exchange.

"We will train together... this is the perfect time to know my fianceé."

Said Venelana with a sweet voice.

"I accept, training is always good, my aim is to be supreme, so ok. Wait a minute... what did you say? Fianceé? Me? We have a contract?"

Only after several seconds mechanics in my head start working and connecting dots.

"Yes. It was agreed to by Granpa Zek and your Grandfather Zeldrian Gremory. I personally didn't want to marry you at all, but seeing you in the first person, maybe there is a slight chance, but not unless you can defeat me."

Said Venelane in a prideful tone, which ignited my inner battle maniac ego. In truth, I loved fighting, I don't know where it came from, but I felt such a thrill and some other indescribable feelings...

"Understandable. Among the current generation of devils, there aren't many who can match your social status as the eldest daughter of the Great King, of course, not counting Satans, as their families are too conceited and arrogant to look at somebody else than at each other."
