It is also public knowledge that while Baal likes to half his superiors into fighting him, he doesn't accept any challenge from those beneath him. He won't fall into being goaded. He will only fight if they use their challenge quota on him. Dukes have to respect their superiors and cannot say anything overly offensive to each other even to goad them into a fight. The hierarchy of the family is strictly upheld.
Disrespect is punished by the loss of an amount of Accumulation to be determined by Lord Khaos. To lose your Accumulation is a very painful loss that demons will do anything to avoid. It is enough encouragement not to disrespect their superiors. As opposed to his current opponent, Baal has enough self-control to not be goaded into a fight by a statement like, "Are you afraid of losing to me?"
That's all it took to set Infernox on edge and to accept this challenge. A simple sentence and now they are about to fight in a duel that might lead to the death of one of them.
Baal eyed his opponent. He readied his grimoire. The giant tattered book floating beside him flew into his hands. Baal turned the pages which are made from the skin of demon nobles. He uttered a phrase that turned the pages into cards made of ice.
Now that he is ready to do battle he spoke to his opponent. "So you're not afraid of losing to me. Accepting the challenge has surely proved that."
Infernox scowled which is a terrifying look on the face of a bull. He huffed great flames through his nostrils before replying. "I'll prove more than that when I beat you up."
Baal was never moved by the taunts that others use to try and goad him into a fight because he is not afraid of losing. He just doesn't care enough to prove them wrong by wasting his time fighting them. He believes himself to be superior and he doesn't need to win a fight to prove it. Infernox on the other hand was easily goaded for numerous reasons. The obvious reason is that he is a demon of wrath and the less obvious reason is that he is really afraid of losing to Baal.
Baal has risen through the ranks by fighting strong opponents while Infernox became number 1 because he was the second demon that was added to the house. So he isn't feeling confident in himself and doesn't think he deserves the position. He decided to fix that problem by facing his fears. Fear is not a good emotion for a demon to have. Defeating Baal and if lord Khaos allows it, killing Baal will prove to him that he deserves it.

It cannot be denied that Infernox is very powerful. But most of the dukes were there when he became a duke. He was just a mid-rank demon among a thousand that were used to show the full capabilities of the Lord of Khaos. He transformed from an insignificant mid-rank demon in a show into a demon duke used to compel the others to fight. All he has currently is due to the Lord of Khaos and he is thankful for that opportunity.
He has been reborn by that experience but there is a mark of stain on him that cannot be removed. This mark of stain is the Epic rank ability that he acquired as a mid-rank demon. It proves that he doesn't belong amongst the genius demons with Legendary and Divine abilities. It proves that he wasn't raised or meant to be great. He was just lucky. If not for that opportunity, he wouldn't be here. So he needs to prove to himself and to others that he deserves to be here.
