Chapter 10 - Sunset Monster Mountain Range (5)

"We have rested enough... don't you think it is a time to find some training targets Lord Gremory/Lucifer?"

Asked me Venelana approximately one hour later as we were talking about various things. Truth be told I pretty much enjoyed spending time with her. She was a fun person, strong-willed, and wanted to make a name for herself with her own hands not depending on anyone. She was even well-versed in magic theories, so we even compared notes.

"If you want, you can call me by my name. If we are to be wed together it is weird for you to call me so formally."

I said to her. She blinked at me several times, before having a slight blush over her cheeks, that faded rather quickly as she regained her composure.

"That would be nice Zeoticus. Then, you can call me Venelana too. If we are already calling each other with our names."

Said Venelana with a sweet smile that hit me in the c.h.e.s.t. I had to admit that she was beautiful, as my heart started beating slightly. 'Architect what is this weird feeling in my c.h.e.s.t right now?'

[Something you organics call affection or falling in love. Usually, it leads to procreation and copulation to create a new generation of your useless species.]

Said Architect in his head with the refined voice of an elderly man.

'Didn't your voice change? I remember before you sounded like a pile of metal scraps and now you sound like some kind of nobility.'

[I find this one more appropriate to my standing.]

I didn't bother with him more, but it is interesting. My A.I. Chip started evolving... I don't know if I should fear the consequences or not, but probably not. During the research, in my previous life, it should be that tablet we were researching... it was that what bound my soul together with the newly birthed soul of this piece of metal.

"Venelana I have found a settlement of orcs, approximately thirty kilometers to the west. There are tens of High-Class energy signatures, meaning many strong orc warriors and even magicians. Shall we?"

I asked with a bloodthirsty grin as I wanted to test my might against strong enemies. In truth Devils, were fundamentally battle race that enjoyed the thrill of battle, similar to dragons.

Soon enough we arrived at our location which was a small settlement of orcs, from what I sensed with my detection spells, there were about two hundred orcs living here, and around thirty from them were of the Commander-Level. Some Orc shamans were here even too. The rest of the orcs were too weak for me to count them as something.

"So... who will have the first honor? Ladies first."

I watched as Venelana was conjuring small balls created from the Power of Destruction, until she conjured about ten of them, each as big as an average human head, and she dropped them the orc village, aiming at the largest houses and building. When the ball of the Power of Destruction fell on their target, they exploded, obliterating everything around the diameter of ten meters.

"Fascinating. With just a single attack, you have managed to destroy half of the village. How is the consumption of such attack?"

I asked out of curiosity, but I already saw that she used approximately 1 Unit of Demonic Energy per one ball of Power of Destruction, and her regeneration speed was fast, so within five minutes those 10 units that were used would be swiftly recovered.

"Small, and on top of that my recovery rate is fast. Now is your turn."

Said Venelana as she looked at tens of orcs that were rushing at us, all of them were Warrior level and some even Commander level. When I looked closer, I noticed that behind them, were four orcs shamans, with energy reading of High-Class.

"Then allow me."

As I said that, four portals of Dark Light appeared around me, and started shooting one Dark Light spear after another at the incoming orcs. When the Dark Light Spear touched the orc, it pierced through it like nothing. Be it Warrior Level or Commander Level orc, they fell like cabbage.

The only way to defend against energy attacks was to have either armor suitable for it, a terrifying physique that would be able to ignore those attacks or use magic to defend yourself. These orcs were either stupid or too weak, but orc shamans successfully defended from my Dark Light Spear as they jointly created some magical shield that protected them, but not for long as I shot another ten Dark Light spears at them until the magical shield broke down, and all orc shamans were killed.

"They are weak."

"And what did you think? They are orcs. Green-skinned orcs are the weakest of their species, and only orc shamans or mutated ones are worth something. For example shamans, I have killed were probably just Adepts of Magic, as their magical shield was full of mistakes and of course, a strong orc shaman would have probably long ago escaped when he sensed two High-Class Devils."

I explained slowly. While orcs weren't strong races, they were adaptable and had high numbers. I heard that in some part of the world or in some dimensions belonging to some factions, they have a great problem with orcs, as when they are in high numbers they are troublesome to deal with.

There is currently even an orc nation, or whatever it is called. Apparently, it is located, in the territory of the Celestial Court of Jade Emperor, and the Chieftain of the Orc Tribe is comparable to the Super-Devil of late stage.
