Bahal

* Bloodlust
* Bahal

Cha Jeong-woo (former) (deceased)

**Bahal** was a high-ranker of Red Dragon. He was a close confidant of Summer Queen. Previously, he was a high-ranker and executive of Arthia, however, he defected to Red Dragon when he realised that Arthia was bound to be destroyed, eventually. He was one of the five people that directly killed **Cha Jeong-woo**.

## Personality

Like most people in the Tower, he is a conniving snake that places his own well-being at the highest level and wouldn't blink an eye over betraying his allies if it could result in his survival.

As seen from his interactions with Cain, Bahal feels the need to prove his worth to Red Dragon due to many of his new clanmates having a negative view of him for betraying Arthia. Like all Rankers within the Obelisk, Bahal possess a deep desire for power and sees his clan as nothing more than a stepping stone to obtain more power.

However despite his negative traits, Bahal has shown to possess a level of friendship and comradery. This is seen where he was genuinely close to Cha Jeong-woo and considered him his friend and still looked fondly back at his memories with him and the rest of Arthia.

## Physical Appearance

Bahal was shown to be a handsome young man with fiery red hair and red eyes with light white skin. During his time as a founding member of Arthia and as a Rookie Ranker, Bahal wore his hair much shorter before allowing it to grow longer years later.

## Background

He began climbing the Tower with Jeong-woo Cha and became one of his closest companions. Throughout his time with Arthia, he grew until he became a prestigious high-ranker. However, after realizing that Arthia had no future, he defected to Red Dragon at Summer Queen's offer.

Afterwards, he was very diligent in attacking his former friend Jeong-woo, maybe in an effort to prove his loyalty to Red Dragon. He was one of the five people that killed Jeong-woo when he stabbed him in the heart with a sword tipped with Divine Iron.

## History

### **Volume 2**

Bahal appeared in the Tower's Outer District after he heard rumours about the superb rookie known as Cain. He offered him a position in Red Dragon, however, Cain refused. Despite being a little annoyed, he calmed down after Cain placated him by stating that he would find him in the future.

### **Volume 3**

Afterwards, he and his subordinates, Flame Beast, ambushed Leonte who was returning from the Tutorial. Due to their superb firepower and catching Leonte unaware, they managed to inflict heavy injuries on Leonte and killed all his subordinates. Bahal allowed Leonte to escape after he realised that the latter didn't have the Philosopher's Stone on him. This event led to the destruction of the fragile peace in the Tower and the start of a full-on war between Cheonghwado and Red Dragon.

### **Volume 6**

Bahal welcomed Yeon-woo who had defected from Cheonghwado which he had joined as a guest of the One-Horned Tribe. He especially began to favor him when Yeon-woo informed him of the troop layout of Cheonghwado that he had glanced at within Martial King Nayu's tent. As a result, Bahal assigned him as the Leader of Team 2 of the Foreign Legion, an army made up of mercenaries. A few days later, Yeon-woo informed Bahal of the fact that Saber God had a son residing within Urd's Temple on the 17th floor. He stated that they should kidnap him to make Saber God their puppet. Bahal informed Summer Queen of this and stated that they could force Saber God to take the stone from Leonte and bring it to them. She agreed and Bahal informed Yeon-woo to begin the operation. A few days later when Yeon-woo truly brought Hanbin, Bahal became quite pleased with him and decided to make Yeon-woo his deputy.

A few days later, the plan was in full swing. Saber God had attacked Leonte but was stopped by Sword God who caused him fatal injuries. As a last ditch effort, Saber God used the remaining energy of the Four Legendary Beasts to open a portal to the coordinates of Red Dragon provided to him previously. Before Sword God could stop him, Summer Queen in her giant draconic form crossed over through the portal. As Summer Queen emerged, the Dragon Fear she exuded instantly paralyzed all Cheonghwado members below Semi-Ranker level. She then let loose her Dragon Breath which annihilated half of Cheonghwado's headquarters, incinerating everyone in its path, even Rankers.

Enraged, Sword God, Spear God and Bow God attacked her giant body. Meanwhile, Bahal, along with Flame Beast, rushed towards Leonte to obtain the stone which was desperately needed by Summer Queen to fix her broken Dragon Heart, an injury she received while fighting Jeong-woo Cha. However, Leonte unleashed energy of Mystical Dragon that he obtained from ingesting its core. He used that energy to summon Gungnir, the weapon of Odin that Sword God had granted him for protection. Wielding Gungnir, he angrily raged throughout the battlefield, killing many members of Flame Beast and even slicing off Bahal's right arm. Just as he was about to launch another attack to finish them off, he was stabbed through the heart by Yeon-woo Cha who had been stalking Leonte and Bahal for an opportunity to kill them. Even though Yeon-woo had planned to kill Leonte slowly and painfully, he changed his plan and stealthily struck him, while he was distracted, after he witnessed the power of Gungnir.

Bahal was shocked by the sudden turn of events and confused at the feeling of danger he felt from Yeon-woo. This feeling became real when he was suddenly attacked by Yeon-woo. While he was unable to determine why his subordinate was attacking him, he decided to let go of his curiosity and kill Yeon-woo since in his current state even a regular Ranker could kill him. However, his **Flame Rain** proved to be useless as Yeon-woo had inherited the Phoenix's **Holy Fire**, the origin of all fire. As he desperately continued resisting, he lost his left arm and, soon, both his legs, as well. In a last hurrah, he used his signature move **Volcana** but Yeon-woo managed to evade it and stabbed his dagger right in Bahal's forehead, killing him. Yeon-woo then used Bathory's Vampiric Dagger on the corpses of Leonte and Bahal before informing Edora and Phante to retreat.

After his death and his soul being taken, Yeon-woo proceeded to interrogate him and Leonte, where after a small resistance from Bahal, Yeon-woo managed to brutally torture their souls as he collected information on the Philosophers Stone, Red Dragon, The Tower, The True Status of the Summer Queen and successfully acquire Bahal's subspace warehouse for his own use before completely destroying them and their souls, insuring that they won't even be reincarnated by feeding their souls to his familiars. Bahal in particular would be devoured by Shanon and his signature skills [Volcano] & [Fire Rain] to be taken by the former and the latter to Yeon-woo.

During the interrogation, Bahal was able to tell that Yeon-woo was not Jeong-woo and was confused and terrified by Yeon-woo.

## Abilities

As one of the former members of Arthia, Bahal was an incredibly powerful High Ranker due to the Clan's resources, talented members and constant battles with the other Top Clans of the Tower allowing him numerous opportunities to rise and increase his power despite being one of the youngest Rankers.

His powers and skills easily made him a match for the other High Rankers within the Tower and immediately gave him a position among the **81 Eyes** of Red Dragon when he left Arthia to join Red Dragon. This is seen where he was able to easily overpower and nearly kill Leonte despite him being a fellow High Ranker (Albeit a Low High Ranker) and former member of Arthia as well.

### Skills

* **Volcano:** This Skill allows Bahal to create a gigantic expulsion of fire around his surroundings of exceptional power. With its destructiveness being compared to that of a volcanic eruption.
* **Fire Rain:** This Skill allows Bahal to unleash a hail of Fire Rain on a wide area of effect on his opponents, that inflicts overwhelming amount of pain on his opponents and even prevent them from using healing magic and bypass defensive skills to inflict further damage. This Skill was noted to have a gigantic area of effect and was exceptionally useful in against large crowds when he was outnumbered.
* **Flame Fist:** Bahal's signature skill that allows him to create powerful blasts of fire using his fists. Its been stated that this skill was one of his most powerful abilities and one of the reasons why he was accepted as a member of the 81 Eyes of Red Dragon.

### Items

* **Key of Intrenian:** After being entrusted by the Summer Queen to find the Philosophers Stone, Bahal was given his own Intrenian that contain all the necessary materials and ingredients to make or complete a Philosophers Stone.
