Baal.

The leader of the 72 Demon Lords, commanding an army of ten thousand demons.

A being standing at the pinnacle of the Demon War.

The Lord of Pestilence.

The Sovereign of Gluttony.

The King of False Abundance.

And a demon king bearing numerous other sinister myths.

‘Why the hell is he showing up here?’

[Cold Blood activates. Maintaining composure.]

[Cold Blood activates…]

The repeated triggering of *Cold Blood*.

The Swamp King—no, Baal, possessing its shell—shook my heart with his mere presence.

To think that Baal was involved in creating this mud pile.

The Ancient Gods may have built the Tower of Babel, but many Constellations of the current generation are involved in various elements comprising the Tower.

The old constellations that fell to the earth.

The glory etched between the stars became as fleeting as a mirage, and most of the powers the ancient gods once wielded have vanished.

Crafting an entire world.

It was impossible with only the power of the ancient gods, so they approached the constellations under the guise of ‘Administrators,’ hiding their divine names.

Baal’s involvement must be due to his share in creating the tower.

– ‘That presence. The entity residing in the mud has completely changed.’

“It’s only natural. A constellation has taken over.”

– ‘If it’s a constellation, isn’t it a being that has reached the realm of gods like me?’

“Well, not all constellations are gods, but close enough.”

– ‘Contractor, retreat! This is an enemy you cannot face with your strength!’

“No way.”

*Gulp.*

I swallowed hard.

“This is actually perfect.”

Baal.

One of the mightiest among the constellations!

Since such a being is involved in this quest, defeating him will yield tremendous rewards.

「You, you’re smiling?」

At those words, I touched my cheek, and sure enough, the corners of my mouth were turned up.

“Because I’m thinking about the rewards I’ll get for taking you down.”

「Kukuku, how amusing.」

The Swamp King.

No, Baal, wearing its shell, also curved his lips upward in a grin.

[The Master of the Corrupted Throne has intervened in the quest.]

[Even if you admit defeat, you cannot escape the battlefield.]

Forced combat.

There was no backing out now.

“I wasn’t planning to run in the first place.”

I stepped forward boldly.

There was no time for probing against Baal.

[Eagle’s Eye activated.]

[The opponent is slightly stronger than you.]

A drastically reduced amount of Mana.

Even though Baal possessed the mud pile, the consumed mana didn’t recover.

Lucky me.

If his mana had fully restored to 100%, I wouldn’t stand a chance.

Even if part of the Tower’s system had been nullified, it seemed some balance adjustments had been made.

*Swish!*

A bundle of mud tentacles shot out from all directions.

They were much thinner than those deployed by the Swamp King, but their numbers were tenfold.

‘Fast.’

By reducing the mud’s weight, their speed increased.

Reducing the mud’s weight had increased its speed.

Did that mean its power was weaker?

Not at all.

Making full use of far superior mana control, Baal reduced the mana consumed per attack while amplifying their force.

– ‘Dangerous. Evading them all is impossible.’

“I know.”

[Spiked Armor activated.]

Lowering my stance, I advanced, trusting my armor.

If I tried to parry each one, my internal energy in the dantian would run dry first.

*Crack! Thwack!*

Whips lashed at me from all sides.

The armor’s durability drained rapidly.

It couldn’t absorb all the impact, so each hit sent a jolt of pain through my bones.

– ‘Contractor! It’s too dangerous!’

“Gotta take some hits.”

[Ultrasound activated.]

Combining Sixth Sense and Ultrasound.

I moved to avoid only the hits that would deplete Spiked Armor’s durability to 0.

Once destroyed, it takes a full minute to reuse.

If the armor protecting my vitals shattered, I’d be in real trouble.

Dodging every whip by sight alone was impossible.

But with Ultrasound as a second eye and Sixth Sense, I could read their trajectories.

Taking hits is a skill, too!

‘I’d love to leap and close the distance, but…’

Using Agile Hind Legs was risky.

The skill’s linear charge meant a frontal assault, and Baal wouldn’t let that slide.

Nothing’s more dangerous than having my movements predicted.

The Swamp King lacked the ability to read my path, so I could use Agile Hind Legs boldly.

But Baal?

He wasn’t some pushover.

Even in my past life, I couldn’t guarantee victory against Baal in a straight fight.

The distance closed rapidly.

[Plague Flies]

Suddenly, a pitch-black mist stained my vision.

What looked like mist was an uncountable swarm of flies.

I held my breath.

Breathing here would let those flies burrow into my body through the air.

But as I sealed my lips, the flies forced their way through the cracks in my broken armor.

Flies imbued with Baal’s authority.

[Poison of Contamination seeps in.]

[Poison of Corruption seeps in.]
