"We've had enough rest.. Don't you think it's time to find some training targets, Mr. Gremory/Lucifer?"

Venelana asked me about an hour later as we talked about things.

To be honest, I really enjoyed spending time with him. He is a fun-loving, strong-willed person, and wants to make his name famous with his own hands, not relying on anyone. He was even an expert in magic theory, so we even compared notes.

"If you want, you can call me by my name. If we're going to get married together, it's weird for you to call me formally."

i told him. He blinked towards me a few times before slightly blushing on his cheek which faded rather quickly as he regained his composure.

"That would be nice, Zeoticus. Then, you can call me Venelana as well. If we've called each other by our names."

Venelana said with a sweet smile that hit my chest. I have to admit that she is beautiful, because my heart started beating a little bit. 'Architect, what strange feeling is on my chest now?'

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

The Architect said in his head in the delicate voice of an older man.

'Did your voice not change? I remember before you sounded like a pile of metal pieces, and now you sound like royalty.'

[I found this one more suited to my position.]

I don't really care about him, but it's interesting. My AI chip is starting to evolve... I don't know if I should be afraid of the consequences or not, but maybe not. During the research, in my previous life, it was supposed to be the tablet that we were researching.it was the one that tied my soul together with the newborn soul of this piece of metal.

"Venelana, I have found an orc settlement, about thirty kilometers to the west. There were dozens of High-class energy signatures, meaning many powerful orc warriors and even magicians. How's it?"

I asked with a bloodthirsty grin because I wanted to test my strength against a powerful enemy. In fact, Devils were basically a battle race that enjoyed the thrill of battle, similar to dragons.

Shortly after, we arrived at our location, which was a small settlement of Orcs; from what I felt with my detection spell, about two hundred orcs lived here, which was the Orcs, and about thirty of them were Commander Levels. Some Orc shamans were here as well. The other Orcs were too weak for me to count them as something.

I said with a small wave of my hand as I gestured to Venelana that she could make the first strike. He had the Power of Destruction, so his first attack was a logical choice, as he would be able to create a lot of confusion and chaos with just a single attack.

I watched Venelana juggle small balls created from the Power of Destruction until she conjured about ten balls, each as big as a human head in general, and she dropped them into the orc village, he said, leads to the largest houses and buildings. When the ball created from the Power of Destruction fell onto its target, it exploded, obliterating everything that was about ten meters in diameter.

"intriguing. You have managed to destroy half of the village with just one strike. How is the consumption of such an attack?"

I asked out of curiosity, but I had already seen that he used roughly 1 Unit of Demon Energy per one ball of Destroying Power. The regeneration speed was fast, so in five minutes, the 10 units used it would recover quickly.

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

Venelana said while looking at the dozens of orcs charging towards us; all of them are Warrior level and some are even Commander level. When I looked closely, I noticed that behind them were four orc shamans with High Class energy readings.

"Then let me."

As I said, four portals of Dark Light appeared around me and started firing Dark Light spears one after another towards the incoming orcs. When the Dark Light Spear touched the orc, it pierced through it like there was nothing. Be it Warrior-Level Orcs or Commander-in-Chief, and they fell like cabbages.

The only way to defend against energy attacks was to have armor suited for it, a terrifying physique that could ignore the attack or use magic to defend itself. These orcs were stupid or too weak, but the orc shaman managed to survive my Dark Light Spear as they together created several magical shields that protected them, he said, but not as long as I fire ten more Dark Light spears at them until the magical shield is broken, and all the orc shamans are killed.

"They're weak."

Venelana muttered in frustration as she looked at the onslaught of the Orcs.

"And what do you think? They are orcs. Green-skinned orcs were the weakest of their species, and only orc shamans or mutated ones were valuable. For example, the shaman I had killed might just be a Magician, as the shield was full of mistakes, and of course, the powerful orc shaman might have long since escaped when he sensed the two High-class Devils."

I explained slowly. Although orcs were not a strong race, they were adaptable and had high numbers. I heard that in some parts of the world or in some dimensions belonging to some factions, they have big problems with orcs, like when they are in large numbers, they are difficult to deal with.

Today there are even orcs, or whatever the name. Apparently, it was located in the territory of the Jade Emperor Divine Court, and the Orc Chieftain was comparable to a Super Devil in the late stages.
