Chapter 747: Tri-Headed Gluttony King Baal
The sight that Volk and I are greeted by as we arrive in Alban is a scene straight out of hell. Like the last city we saw, the entire capital is covered in a soft black membrane, and giant spider monsters are roaming the streets. There’s no sign of the glorious royal capital that I visited once before.
“OOOOOO…”
“OOOOOO…”
In the centre of the city, the boss of the spiders is watching over them.
Its body is that of a gigantic spider covered in black hair. Three giant heads are attached to its abdomen. The left head is that of a toad, the right a cat, and the central head is that of a long-eared man wearing a crown. Each head houses a pair of unfocused red eyes.
The Tri-Headed Gluttony King… The Demon Lord Baal. Standing at the pinnacle of the system, he is the strongest monster in history.
When I first fought him in front of God’s Voice, I didn’t stand a chance. But now, I’ve evolved to an Upper Legendary. I won’t lose this time.
The only remaining [Spirit Servants] are the Demon Lord Baal, and the Magic Beast King that Aro and treant are keeping in check. God’s Voice said that Baal was the strongest, so once I’ve leveled up from beating him, the Magic Beast King shouldn’t pose much of a threat.
It’s not certain that I’ll be able to actually fight God’s Voice, and if it does come to a fight, it’ll probably be in a form entirely unlike a battle between monsters. God’s Voice has control over the system and authority over this world. In a sense, this will be the last time I put my life on the line to fight a fellow monster.
