honwasabi only reached level 99 because she managed to kill a few heroes that were near death. then she was strong enough to kill them easily, so she kept leveling.
what i'm talking about is availability. Bael doesn't hang around right outside of towns, he/she is way the fuck around the demon castle. Honwasabi, on the other hand, has adventurers around all day every day, tons of exp mobs. it makes me wonder if the demon king has ever gotten a chance to fight on his own
also, yeah, it's not all about level, but stats definitely go up. regular goblins can't do the shit she can do, so why would a MUCH higher spec monster (one of the highest of the 72 demons) not be way more powerful at the same level?
it's true honwasabi has 0 resistance to magic (and status effects), but bael was fighting using physical attacks. i get the whole premise is GOBLIN IS STONG and i'm super behind that. it just makes me wonder why no one else is also strong
