The Holy Chronicles Of Baator
Training (3)

A few months later, I was still practicing the [Demon Outer Body Forging Method]. After completing the first part of the [Devil Outer Body Tempering Method], which hardened my bones with the use of Demonic Energy, I am currently undergoing the second part of the method, who does the same thing with my muscles.

Although it was not very painful, as I increased my pain endurance tremendously, from hardening my bones, it was much slower. I have to be very careful not to tear my muscles and not cause injury to myself.

But the result is good, very good. My body became more flexible, stronger, and faster. With each day going through the forging process, I could feel how much stronger I was. My physique also changed as my muscles started to tighten, and now I look more muscular, unlike bodybuilders, but rather athletes.

When I look in the mirror, I can't stop admiring my improved form or something like that.

"Architect, scan me."

I praised as soon as the transparent window appeared before my eyes with the right information about my strength and how strong I have been in the last six months.

Right now, my Physical condition is probably the best I can achieve with my current training. [The Outer Demonic Body Tempering Method] was basically complete. The other physical stats would reach 50 passively, without any special training, and then I just needed to adjust to my new strength.

'Now, what's left on my to-do list in the future.' I thought as I looked at my progress. Now that my body has reached the upper-class Middle Class in all parameters, I will focus on mastering magic.

Reaching High-Class in body tempering is difficult without excessive training, and to be honest, I don't have the time or what I've found lately, I don't have the talent for it.

For example, if I had trained in the same way as Sairaorg in the canon, it would take over 50 years to reach the Middle Class. I have also tried studying Touki, just out of curiosity, because I found some instruction manuals in my library, but unfortunately, I have no talent for Touki.

My innate talent lies in two things, Clan Nature and Magic. I have a very high talent for Dark Light manipulation, and lately, I have also tried to awaken the Gremory Clan Nature, Devour.

Apparently, Devour is very rare to have even among the Gremory Family, since only one person has it, and it is the first Gremory, my grandfather. Unfortunately, my father did not awaken the Nature of the Clan, nor did I wake him up. It was fortunate that the Architect was making a method of how to resurrect it, so it only took time.

From my grandfather's diary, Devour was basically a straightforward Clan trait. It was used to devour the Demonic Energy or Magical Power of the slain person and increase your own strength. The downside is that it is only effective against someone with the same energy quality as yours, meaning I, as a High-class Devil, am, it can only devour Demon Energy from Magic Power from other High-class beings.

If I attempt to devour higher quality energy, I can paralyze myself or, worse, commit suicide. And if I devour the energy of lower quality, it will do nothing, only replenish the lost magical power, but it cannot increase my reserves.

My grandfather was a powerful Devil in the lower-class Demon-Class thanks to Devour. Still, after breaking through and reaching the Demon Class, he could not advance anymore, as he needed to absorb more creatures on the same level. Still, as it is at that level, the problem with it is usually confined to their respective territories. So my genius grandfather, in his greed for power, decided to hunt down some monsters in the Demon Class to devour their energy. Unfortunately for him, even though he managed to defeat the monster, it turned out that the monster called a maid, they surrounded him and tore him apart.

It's a sad story but with great lessons. Control your greed.

So I learned from this story and decided to wait until the Great War patiently. I am sure I will awaken the Nature of the Devour Clan before the Great War, and in the Great War, I can devour countless Fallen Angel energies, and perhaps some Devils.

I have decided to secretly kill some powerful descendants of Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and the other Six Houses of Lucifer. Sooner or later, they will all become enemies and threats to my family and me. So, I'll kill some flies with one stone.

"Hm... I was a little excited to test my strength in the field. There should be some monsters around me. Maybe some from the other factions wandering in the Underworld. Or I could engage in a little battle with Fallen. It might reveal the Nature of my Dark Light Clan, as it made me partially immune to the Sacred Light. Until at least I become the Ultimate-Class Peak, I won't reveal it."

I murmured while thinking about where I could test my fighting ability. All I need right now is a life-and-death fight to gain more experience. Even though I have strength, I have almost no battle experience.

Even some random Middle Class entity with the right strategy would defeat me if I wasn't careful. So, I need training.

"So, just a monster then... I heard that about a hundred kilometers from Fuerig, there should be some Golbin Tribe causing a stir. Goblins, though generally weak, are only of the Low Class while some of the Middle Class Classes depend on their numbers."
