The Unremarkable Demon

Its form was unremarkable.

...Its appearance could only be described as unremarkable.

Unlike other Demons, it wasn't gigantic, nor hideous, nor did it exude an oppressive aura. Nor did it possess the striking appearance of Amon, Se-e-re, or Paimon.

If one were to judge it solely by its distant appearance, one might have thought, 'Isn't that just a slightly grown-up Imp?' It had the same red skin and small horns as any other Imp.

However, distinguishing features included its towering height, comparable to an adult male, a thin sword blade held in one hand, and a face devoid of features.

Yes, the lack of facial features was quite bizarre. It had absolutely no eyes, nose, or mouth, which any Life Form should naturally possess.

Thus, Baal's form appeared only as an outline from afar, and only an outline up close, as if it existed, yet didn't. Its presence was undeniably immense, yet at the same time, incredibly indistinct.

Mirage.

Like an oasis that exists before one's eyes, yet can never be reached.

It was an endlessly contradictory statement, but there was no better way to describe Baal...
