- The clone then appeared in front of Baam, telling him that they had chose him to get their revenge on Hoaqin, which caused her to stab him through his gut with her sword. As the many vengeful spirits entered his body, the clone mentioned that he probably wouldn’t survive from this, but if he did, he’d obtain “enormous” power.
Getting up almost instantly afterwards, Baam described the power as “tremendous” much to the shock of the clone at him not dying from the aftermath. She mentioned that the power she just gave him was from all the souls Hoaqin sacrificed a long time ago. Appearing in front of Hoaqin, Baam got ready to drop down for their final duel, before landing his first blow on Hoaqin early on in the fight. Angry at the thought of Baam stealing “his” power, Hoaqin unleashed a flurry of attacks on him, none of which proved effective. Baam then formed a sword in his hands, saying that the sword was the fury of all the souls Hoaqin had sacrificed, then attacking him with his own sword style, further enraging Hoaqin. Baam then unleashed an extremely powerful attack with his sword that overwhelmed Hoaqin, who realised that he could not block this attack, ending the fight with Baam’s victory.
Baam took a seat after the victory, exhausted from the fight. The clone appeared in front of him and thanked him for getting vengeance for them on Hoaqin. A sudden panic spread as boiling acid filled the room, causing Ha Yura to teleport out with Hoaqin and Rachel in tow. Baam then rescued Koon from the acid, before looking for a way to escape. Koon looked over towards Hwa Ryun who was staring at a large pipe on the ceiling, which made him realise the direction she was guiding them to go. Climbing up towards it via Sachi’s Rose Vine, Baam encountered two familiar figures in Yuri and Evan who proceeded to save him and his friends from the acid.
Yuri then hugged Baam, telling him that he did a good job and to take a break.
- He revealed that he came under his master’s orders to test if Viole was worthy enough to hold the title of “Candidate”. Baam then replied that Buelsar would be sorry for getting in his way, which caused him to unleash the Thorn, which broke Buelsar’s “Hell in the Cell”. Walking towards him, Baam had a flashback to the Rice Pot while talking to the monster. Remembering the monster's tempting words about power, Baam suddenly attacked Buelsar, shooting a shot of Shinsoo right into him. Going back to his talk with the monster, Baam said he’d take the power “overshadowing” the monster, which was a seemingly large yellowish ball of light. As Buelsar got back up to counter attack with his true power, he was defeated by Baam almost instantly.
After his battle, Baam immediately rushed to Yihwa who was falling down after using up her flames. Catching her, Baam took Yihwa down to ground level as he heard Buelsar call out to him, calling his power “amazing”. He mentioned he’d reveal who Hoaqin really was since Baam defeated him. He revealed Hoaqin was once a great Slayer called “White”, which caused Baam to panic and run off to find him before Hoaqin could find his other four"clones" in order to become whole again. Yihwa then asked if Baam was afraid, which caused him to look back and reply “Yes, and that’s why we must hurry and find him”. He soon arrived face-to-face with a now partially transformed Hoaqin. Baam then asked how he could’ve possibly lost his Slayer position, which caused Hoaqin to reply that he sacrificed an estimated billion souls for a spell to make himself stronger, but was defeated by a Princess of Zahard. He then told Baam that he doesn’t regret anything as sacrifices were normal to “higher beings”, and that his story would start again with killing Viole. Baam then replied that he didn’t understand him, but that he’d stop him no matter what, which caused Hoaqin to attack Baam with his family's unique sword style.
Dodging the attack, Baam proceeded to attack Hoaqin, but was unable to land a single attack. Being worn down from using the Thorn too much, the group decided a last ditch plan to attack him, which failed even after Baam stabbed Hoaqin with the knife Wangnan had been using. The game suddenly ended as the Sweetfish reached the core, signalling the end of Round 2. As the group waited for Round 3 to start, Baam was reunited with Koon and his group as he explained everything that had happened. Before starting the final round, a strange white-haired girl who claimed to be Hoaqin’s final clone showed up. She teleported in front of Baam and mentioned he was too kind to be “roaming in the darkness”. After the final round started, the game was revealed to be called “Go to Hell” which required deciding how much dallars you want to spend on saving the hostages. Baam proceeded to spend 30 dallars as he went downward and rescued Prince.
After hearing Hoaqin’s cruel words, Baam became enraged and showed extreme bloodlust towards him. After saving Buelsar, he declared that he’d save every single person. Both Baam and Hoaqin dropped downwards, exchanging blows as they fought. Hoaqin eventually used one of his strongest Arie swordsmanship-inspired techniques, which caused his final clone to step in and deflect the attack.
- Arriving at Stage 4 in time, Baam and company were faced off with Hoaqin and his group. After finally seeing Wangnan and his group again after Revolution Road, the director of Stage 4 announced that the game between the Slayer candidates was called “Dallar Show”. After hearing the rules of the game, Baam received his dallars along with his group. Pedro revealed to Yuri that Baam would become the worst enemy to the Princesses, as he was the one intended to slit the throat of Zahard.
In Round 1, Baam wished Koon luck in his match, watching on as he won with ease. For Round 2 of the game, the teams were split into groups of three as Baam was teamed up with Moontari and Hanool. The group suddenly ran into the enemy team, which made Moontari jump into a fight immediately. Moontari went on to tell Baam that he needed to save his energy for his fight against Hoaqin.
Watching on as Moontari fought, he noticed Yihwa in the background as she lost control of her flame, wondering if something had happened to her. Noticing that she was over her limit, he apologised to Moontari as he rushed forward, right before being stopped by Moontari being cut down by Buelsar Elliot, who revealed himself as one of the Mad Dogs of Yama, a Slayer of FUG.

| - Baam's early life is shrouded in mystery: nothing is known about where he lived before coming into the Inner Tower, other than that it was some kind of cave. Also, it is mentioned he was "wrapped in darkness since birth". Baam was named after his birthdate, the "twenty-fifth night". However, it is heavily implied by Garam Zahard that the woman who gave birth to Baam is Arlen Grace with her husband V; this is further reinforced by Gustang's greeting to Baam, calling him "Arlen's son". Inside the cave, there was only one source of light. Towards which Baam built a huge tower made of stones. After climbing his tower, Baam found the light, which was unreachable, shining through a crack in the high cave ceiling. This caused him to get upset, but as this happened the rock above broke off and, a girl with it, Rachel fell. Rachel became Baam's only friend and taught him how to read, write and talk. She also told him about the sky and stars, and of human warmth. She educated him on many things about the human world, though his grasp on human society is still fairly poor. The two played a crude board game in the cave with chalk lines and stone pieces, always drawn out somehow by Baam's tactics. Rachel would frequently journey above through the opening from which light cascaded, denying Baam to come with her, telling him, "Up there, only those who have been chosen can play". She told him stories of the world above; of the yearly festivals, the fruit-bearing trees given by God, the children playing - a world filled with light and merriment. Baam would wait for her to return with nothing else to do but dream of going up there and playing with her. At one point, Rachel also told him the story of a man who loved a star so much that he built a tower to get to it. The others called the man crazy, but he kept stacking rocks anyway. Eventually, the man was able to reach the star and live with it forever. Whether or not this has anything to do with the story is unconfirmed. It can be logically assumed that at one point before the first chapter, Rachel cut Baam's hair, brought him clothes and his cleaver.
