Chapter 73 - The Named Demons
Demon activity increasing around the Dissidia Kingdom?
Just hearing Logan say it made Tave’s chest tighten. A creeping discomfort swept through him. Because... hell! This was serious.
Yes, that serious. This wasn’t just a political concern or a territorial issue. It was massive. Far bigger than what most people likely understood. The implications were terrifying.
Let’s take a step back and talk about demons for a moment.
Demons, in essence, weren’t that different from humans, elves, dwarves, dragons, giants, or beastkin. They were intelligent, sentient beings. The difference? The vast, overwhelming majority. Maybe 99% of them, resided in a separate world. A realm known as Hell.
Hell, put simply, was a distorted mirror of Yunatea. A parallel world, where only demons walked. Though the realms were divided, there were ways, specific methods, for demons to cross over into Yunatea... and vice versa.
But the real danger didn’t come from just any demon.
It came from the Named Demons.
These were beings of terrifying power, monsters whose strength was so immense they were classified among the 72 Ranks of Named Demons. The lower the number, the greater the power. These weren’t just soldiers or scouts, they were rulers. Kings. Warlords. Tyrants who dominated vast territories within Hell.
And nearly all of them had one shared obsession: escaping Hell.
They weren’t content with the dominion they held. No, they wanted more. More land, more power, more control. They wanted Yunatea. And they were always seeking the cracks, the loopholes, any chance to cross over.
