Monsters

Basic Monster Logic
All monster life From Minions to Monarchs follows some basic principles:

'''Servants, Rulers etc... came from Machine Translations translated into Russian. Do not use it anymore.'''

ABILITY LEVELS
Most monsters are ranked based on their powers from Minion to Monarch with sub-classes in between. Each subclass can be considered several times stronger than the one before and the highest of each class is several times weaker than the weakest of the next class. Weak minions being able to easily defeat a level 1 novice tier mage

LIFE CYCLE
All monsters obey 4 stages of their natural growth: Infancy, Childhood, Maturing and Adulthood. During every step of Growth, the monsters in question will gain a massive growth in power and a change in physiological appearance. But the power level that each monster has when it reaches Adulthood varies by species. For non-unique monsters, the highest class recorded that is attained by average members of a certain species upon reaching Adulthood is Commander.

Although every monsters can get stronger through battles and devouring other similar level monsters. The roof of their potential is strongly tied to their bloodlines. In the wilds it is very rare for a Spirit Wolf or Cycloped Wolf to go beyond the level of a Commander. Mo Fan's Old Wolf being a rare exception due to the massively disproportionate gap in Mo Fan and Old Wolf's abilities, Mo Fan was able to kill a Small Monarch Wolf with Space Element and let Old Wolf absorb its superior bones, blood and soul core and Evolves into a Small Monarch albeit at the cost of nearly erasing Old Wolf from existence. Something that severely sapped Old Wolf to the point where it might not be possible for Old Wolf to advance any further. Creatures such as Yanji and Apasi (阿帕丝) born with Royal Monster bloodlines easily advances to Great Monarch, through Mo Fan's careful raising, Yanji would reach the realm of regular Emperor levels with no issues, Apasi who has been considered as a 'NEET' among her Elder Sisters with less pure Royal Bloodlines surpassed both elder Sisters after putting in some effort simply because she has the purest Royal Blood in the Medusa species.

(Yanji: 炎姬 has nothing to do with the commonly used Flame Belle translation. 炎姬 is two words: Flame and a Lady of extreme background importance, through context, a more accurate translation should be Flame Princess. It has nothing to do with the term Belle.)

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
A monsters power level is measured by their capabilities in their own preferred environment. As such, monsters with a high elemental affinity (a.k.a. sea monsters) will be much weaker than mentioned below when taken out of such environment.

It was only revealed during the Battle of Shanghai that Sea Monsters are on average 3 times stronger than monsters habiting inland wilderness to the point where Minion Level monsters are kept as livestock and Warrior Levels takes the role of footsoldiers. Monsters in Antarctica on the other hand is 5 times stronger on the average. Warrior Levels are almost non-existent in this continent as the unworldly cold generated by the presence of Otherworldly Snow summoned into the continent by the Antarctica Emperor is almost impossible for monsters of lower caliber to survive. Similar harsh environment can also be found in the Sahara Desert ruled directly by the Sahara Master, the other High Level Emperor on Earth.

EVOLVING FACTORS
Once a monster reaches the state of evolving within whatever level its in, it only requires a strong power source (like holy spring in season 1 or a soul from a higher level) to evolve to the next level. The evolving sub class monsters can be considered members of the next class upwards as the evolving minion in season 1 took an insane amount of novice tier hits without it being injured and some evolving commanders couldn't even be killed by 1 blow of spirit species super tier magic.

LOCATION
Every country had its own war to fight, Different countries had different demon creatures, history, and enemies. Egypt had the mirages and the undead, England had magical beasts that would surround the island. Greece had the Tyrant Titans. China had Mount Kunlun the strongest kingdom of demon creatures in China. These were the symbolic wars that each country had to fight. The Calamity of Bo City that Mo Fan had survived was only a minor disaster that occurred every twenty or thirty years.

The Kunlun Demon kingdom was ranked seventh in the whole world but the places that ranked higher than it, like the Sahara Desert, Antarctica, and the Bermuda Triangle, were uninhabited regions far away from human territories. Majority of these uninhabited regions are home of a lot of Emperor level demon creatures.

Minion Level (奴仆级) / Russian Translations: Servant
Minion Level Sub-classes: Weak Minions, Minions, Strong Minions and Evolving Minions. Note: Servant is wrong translation. 奴仆 is more accurately translated as Slaves, under the context, these monsters are not servants under any employ of a higher level monster. They can also be referred to as Slaves.

The classification is just a guideline. Every Monster, even a Minion level should be taken seriously and differently base on their abilities. Generally a Weak Minion is the cyclop rat hunted by Mo Fan's Hunter Team in his first hunter mission, a normal Minion would be the one eyed wolves the protagonist group fought during the attack on bo city while a Strong Minion is the Spirit Wolf during his Practical Test and an Evolving Minion is the Wolf that wouldn't go down even after taking an insane number of hits from the Hunter Team, Mo Fan and Yu Ang during Season one. It is to be noted that the concept of Weak and Strong Minions were not part of official classification.

Demonic vines, spirit wolf, colossal eyed ape rat, one eyed wolf, blood mark colossal ape rat, dark beasts monsters, white armored battle scorpion, rock demon soldier, bone corpse demon, scale skin phantom, blood beast, shadow beast, eerie water spider, undeads, zombies, phantoms, skeletons, sand roaring tiger, giant lizard beast, Giant Monster, Monster Wolf, Black Cattle, Ghost Wolves, White Armor Jade, Rock Devil, Eggs Demon, Shadow Wicked, Cave Slave, Diamond Blood, Lizard, White Eagle, Day Eagle, clawed rat, white ghosts, sea monkey monster, white head monkey, Yin Hong mummy, dust storms, the eagle demon, demon bird, fire crown lizard, blade magic spider, storm dog, Corpse horse, snake scorpion strange, sea hook black demon, crawler

Monsters are naturally stronger than humans after all.

Novice Mages are Minions Monsters equivalent. However, usually takes a group of Novice Mages to defeat 1 Minion monster.

Warrior Level (战将级)
Warrior Level sub-classes: Small Warrior, Standard Warrior, Great Warrior and Evolving Warriors. Also called Leader of the pack.

While gap between Warrior level monsters are greater than Minion level. Small to Great Warriors are still possible to take down with average Mid-Tier Magic. For Evolving Warriors, they are considered Demi-Commanders and mages should not attempt to hunt without a High Tier Mage.

Spur riffs, blood turtles, cursed animal demon, scales skinny demon, faint storm wolf, pestle wolf, serrated green demon, pseudo-monster, giant lizard, rock trolls, confuse magic spider, Tiger, white sand demon soldiers, three skins python, knife ax corpse, the Division of the night knight, karmic demon, brown tail beast, banyan general, Blizzard spirit, monster bone will, wrapped cloth corpses, Ghosts, poisonous corpses, the scars, blood red skeletons, guardian stone figurines, red Ling demon, snake scorpion demon, white weeping demon, hunting shark demon, bone knife mummy, gray cloth iron corpse, golden gryphon, Ban on the stone magic, the sun black bats, golden ape, sand fox, poison fire scorpion, silver giant rhinoceros, brutal sword dead paternity, poison gold mummy, black tree fine, ghost priest, white pupil giant wolf, Magic, dark helmets mummy, evil scales mummies, giant mummy, mummy, Snake scorpion banshee, pretty rhinoceros, hunters, iron hoofed killing beasts

Warrior Level monsters are practically immune to Novice Magic and usually requires a group of Mid-Tier Mages to defeat one.

Commander/Ruler Level (统领级)
Commander Level sub-classes: Lessers Commanders, Commanders, Great Commanders and Evolving Commander. The gap between Commanders is very wide.

The term 统领 means the one in Command, the Lord/overlord, Leader and is often associated with Rulers in Chinese.

Commander level monsters are immune to Mid-Tier and below Magic. They usually take a group of High Tier Mages to defeat however, due to the vast difference between each human, there are cases where a single High Tier mage can fight a Commander Monster. The difference is especially notable between Commanders and Great Commanders, where a single maxed high tier mage can kill a commander but a whole squad of average high tier mages couldn't significantly damage a great commander to a point where a super-tier mage had to intervene.

From this level onward, it has been shown that a select few creatures can create many more slave and warrior class creatures with the correct ingredients like a factory, even while in battle.

It is common for monsters of this level to exhibit intelligence, it is very common for command class creatures will ignore mages that they deem not worth their time and that they will retreat if they deem themselves outgunned, but only if un-supervised by monarchs. This makes dealing with commanders and actually killing them entirely different matters. But they are still subject to emotions and petty squabbles, as 2 different demi-commanders which were being harassed by 2 different mages decided to fight to the death when they came face to face.

Monarch Level (君主级) / Russian Translation: Ruler
Monarch Sub-classes: The difference in strength between each Monarch subclass are so great that each can be considered a class of its own. The only consistent thing about a Monarch caliber is the fact that they can only be harmed by Super Tier Spells. The damage that Monarch level creatures could bring are massive in scale, They could easily bring utter destruction upon an area for five hundred meters around them, and up to a kilometer with some of their moves.

Translation flaws of "Ruler" :Definition of a Ruler is general term for those who governs over an area. This can refer to anyone who owns a territory and has subordinates, including Winged Demon Wolf, the Commander Level monster who invaded and caused the Bo City disaster. While all creatures of this caliber are determined by bloodlines or evolution of their bloodlines to a specific nobility of monsters (Hereditary). Monarchy terms are more suited for monsters of these calibers as it goes more in line with hereditary and bloodlines.


 * Fake Monarchs are Transitional Levels. They are too strong to be hurt by High Tier Magic normally but can be beaten by some Super Tier Mages.
 * Lesser Monarchs are monsters that needs 3 or more Super Tier Lvl 1 mages to fight off. The Dark Swordmaster whom Mo Fan fought in Egypt during training is an example of Lesser Monarch.
 * Small Monarch are strong monsters, which strong enough to warrant a full party of Super Tier Mages to fight, and they're said to be very tenacious. Example of these ranked Monarch are The Wolf Queen of the Nanling Mountains which was slaughtered by Mo Fan, Dark Swordmaster of Great Pyramid of Giza, Silver Moon Tyrant Titans etc.
 * Medium Monarch are enough to threaten a small city. It will usually takes 5 or more Lvl 3 Super Tier mages to defeat them, Similarly the Little Flame Belle was a Medium level Monarch who was able to overpower or play around with a group Super Mages and literally annihilate a similar leveled Monarch.
 * Great Monarch are strong enough to threaten multiple large cities and requires a large party of Super Tier Mages or a few Peak Super Mage to fight against. Example of a Great Monarch like Apas (during her first introduction), Nether Bone Dragon(Undead), Scorpion Lord Medusa, Dark Pharaoh of Serpent, Queen of Netherworld, Silver Skymaster, Lunar Moth Phoenix and others.
 * Supreme Monarch is the highest official ranking for this Class, each Supreme Monarch can easily a threat to a Province/State that governs a large area rivaling a small European country. The most prominent Supreme Monarch includes, Ocean Skeleton King, Eight Branched Snake. Shark Chieftain, The Greek God of Death Hayla, Mountain of Corpses Zombie, Sphinx, Giant Purple Sacred Linden. Most Supreme Monarch takes at least 1 company of Super Tier Mages to hold off. Although Super Tier magic can damage a Supreme Monarch, in actual fact, nothing short of a 3rd Level Super Tier Magic can injure a Supreme Monarch. At this level, it takes at least a Half Forbidden Curse Mage to defeat such entities.
 * Totem Beasts; Black Totem Snake, Baxia and Gyrfalcon God were considered as Supreme Monarchs. However, after their Totem Runes awakening due to the resurrection of the Azure Dragon's Spirit inside the Great Wall of China (and the fact that the Black Totem Snake and Baxia will gain a significant boost in their powers when the brothers are near each other).

At this level, the monsters start to think strategically, this was shown when a Great Monarch (Silver Skymaster) deployed its forces in such a formation that it reached the edge of a city without being attacked.

At this point, it was stated that if the armor/skin of a Monarch was broken by super tier magic, large focused quantities of Mid-Tier and High Tier spells can be used to inflict lasting damage.

Hence, the next Level is the highest absolute highest authority in the hereditary nature of Monarchy: The Emperor.

Emperor Level (帝王级)
According to the author, just the lands near human civilizations: The Five Great Continents (North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa) have over 40 Emperor level lifeforms and we should assume there are 3-4 times or more Emperors in the Sea. However, the difference in strength and capabilities between Emperors are huge. This is not including territories with threat level labeled as Black, which is more dangerous than Purple Zones. Most of the Black Zones are so dangerous that humanity have very little or no knowledge about! This is evident when Mu Ningxue discovered the colossal black sword shaped Frost Demonic Wraith of Antartica, who rivals the likes of Cold Lunar Eyes that is not in any human records!

During the livestream celebrating the end of Versatile Mage, Author confirmed for the last time, the strengths of Emperors. He divided Emperors into 3 Grades when he was asked about them and Forbidden Curse. He said the Level beyond Forbidden Curse is God, but quickly retconned it, stating that the concept of god does not exist in their world. Everything above Emperor and Forbidden Curse are Plane Dominating (位面主宰)

EMPERORS: Sharkmen Emperor, White Spider Emperor, White Salamander Emperor, Tide Dragon Emperor, Black Totem Snake/Baxia/Gyrfalcon (After the Azure Dragon Awakened), Newborn Sacred Evil God Mo Fan, Ant Dragon Queen and many more all around the world.

LOW LEVEL EMPERORS: Black Dragon Emperor, Netherbone Dragon, Holy City's Golden Dragon, Golden Tyrant Titan Emperor Apollo, True Black Dragon Emperor, Medusa Empress, Sacred Totem Beast Black Tortoise, Sacred Totem Beast Vermillion Bird, Sacred Totem Beast White Tiger, Kunlun Ancestral Demon Tiger Emperor, Kunlun Skyridge Emperor Tiger (White Tiger's one of the Mating Partner & The one responsible for expanding Skyridge White Tigers Lineage) Ocean Undead Empress, Bone Dragon Emperor (Amped by Cold Lunar Eyes), Pluto Khufu, Ancient Undead Emperor Zhan Kong, 16 Wings Archangel Uriel, 16 Wings Archangel Michael, Sacred Evil Magic God Mo Fan, Bermuda Devil

IN BETWEEN LOW-MEDIUM LEVEL EMPERORS: Netherworld King, formerly Khufu, Ancient Undead Emperor Zhan Kong, Half Magic God Mo Fan, 16-Wings Seraph Michael (Formerly) and 16-Wings Seraph Uriel and the Azure Dragon have been placed between Low and Medium level by the Author.

He explains placing Khufu, Mo Fan and 16 Wings Seraphs between Low and Medium Level Empeorrs solely because they have potential to get stronger. When asked further about Mo Fan, he stated that Mo Fan's high combat potential comes from Devil Element, he still has much to learn. Though Mo Fan had recently defeated Khufu with a single Flaming fist strike launching him back to Netherworld and destroying a large undead city of Mummies, it does not mean Mo Fan has reached Medium Emperor level. Azure Dragon is the closest to Medium Emperors among all placed here despite being reduced to a mere spirit possessing the Great Wall of China, this was evident when the Azure Dragon alone fought against the 4-5 Emperors and 2 Low Level Emperors side by side Devil Mo Fan during the battle of Shanghai and even the 16 Wings Archangel Uriel, who became 16 Wings Seraphim before Michael, Magic God Mo Fan couldn't get a read on, Uriel was not afraid to fight Mo Fan, yet he immediately gave up resisting the moment he saw the Azure Dragon.

Quote directly from Chapter 3209: One human, one Dragon

“我可以不杀米迦勒，但我会夺走米迦勒的所有法力. 米迦勒，你在游历的过程，应该还是没有用心看清这个世界的本质，再去经历一遍吧. ”莫凡转过身来，目光高傲的注视着的已经被自己摧毁了所有天使之翼的米迦勒.

"I can spare Michael's life, but I will take away all of Michael's powers. Michael, while you were travelling through the mortal world, you probably didn't truly saw the world's true nature, go on a journey again." Mo Fan turns around and proudly looked at Michael whose wings have been destroyed by him.

“其实，我们也是这个意思. ”乌列开口说道，背后那十六翼翅膀也终于收了起来，也不知道为什么在一头青龙龙神面前摆出这些羽翼，实在有些不踏实.

"Actually, that's what we wanted to do too." Uriel open his mouth, finally withdrawing his 16 Wings, he don't know why showing these wings in front of the Azure Dragon, Dragon God, feels uneasy.

Confusion: While it is true that Uriel felt that there was not even any contest between him and the Azure Dragon, it isn't to say that the Sacred City cannot defeat the Azure Dragon. It only applies to Uriel cannot defeat Azure Dragon as a 16 Wings Seraph. If there is a need, the Archangels together with the full force of the Holy City is capable of destroying the Azure Dragon. However, it will be quite costly for them. Uriel and the rest of the Archangels gave up when they saw the Azure Dragon because the combined might of Mo Fan, Archangel Gabriel/Sharjah, Mu Ningxue, Ye Xinxia, Black Totem Snake, Baxia and Parthenon is relative to the might of the Six Archangels and the Sacred City's armies, adding the Azure Dragon would cause the Sacred City to be overwhelmed.

MEDIUM LEVEL EMPERORS: They are described as extremely powerful beings. Cold Lunar Eyes, Kunlun Fox was confirmed by the Author to be examples of Medium Emperors, Unconfirmed but likely: Frost Draconic Wraith Emperor of Antartica and the Draconic Tailed Ocean Emperor of Pacific Ocean whose strength was merely confirmed to be another Dominate, after receiving the Eye of Tides would likely be comparable to Cold Lunar Eyes should be a Medium Emperor. Cold Lunar Eyes was implied by the Author to have existed for tens of thousands years and maybe impossible to be killed. Kunlun Emperor was only confirmed to be a Fox, it's exact demon Fox species is unknown. (Implied to be significantly stronger than Cold Lunar Eyes). While all Medium Emperors are described as Dominates or Beings who wields absolute power. A Totalitarian Dictator who controls every aspect of your life, a Tyrant or Center of the World. They can be seen as a Force of Nature necessary to exist for the continual survival of the world and humanity. However, not all Dominates qualifies to be a Medium Emperor, this is a testament to the level, an Emperor must achieve to be considered as a Medium Emperor.

The author confirms that it is possible for humans to achieve Medium Level Emperor in strength. They are extremely rare and considered exceptional cases, throughout tens of thousands years magic history of humans, only two have achieved this level. They are the Founder of Sacred City The Creator God of Magic Old Archangel and Founder of Parthenon Temple Holy Spirit Athena - (Never confirmed by Author), who continues to be the leading forces in the world today. The Founder of Holy City was often referred to as the Old Angel and the Founder of Parthenon is stated to have become the Soul of Parthenon in order to pass the power of Resurrection down. Mo Fan has the potential to become a stronger Medium Emperor than these two if he can master all 19 Elements (excluding Devil) to peak of Forbidden Curse.

Author had confirmed that no National Beasts (which Azure Dragon belongs to) has ever reached the Level of a Full Fledged Medium Emperor.

HIGH LEVEL EMPERORS: The Author's final confirmation was the world has two High Level Emperors. They are Antarctica Emperor and Sahara Emperor. To qualify as a High Level Emperor, they must be impossible to be killed by any means known to humanity and existed for over hundreds of thousands to millions of years and it is impossible for any humans in existence to ever achieve this level. There is a very clear example of what an Emperor of this level can do in the Novel. The Antarctica Emperor was able to change the world as he pleases with a single spell. It took almost all of the world's best Mages to come together in order to undo his spell and even then, parts of the world has been terraformed and could not be undone.

Confusion: The author had stated that Bermuda's Emperor was comparable to Antarctica and Sahara Emperors in the novel back when the concept of Low, Medium and High Level Emperors was not even a thing. However, during the latest confirmation, he states that Bermuda's Emperor was weak and is only a Low Level Emperor. Therefore, Bermuda Devil was retconned to Low Level.

PLANE DOMINATING
The level beyond Forbidden Curse and lifeforms transcending Emperor levels are classified as Plane Dominating by the Author. This was never mentioned in the Novel and only made canon by the author himself. The only known being qualified to be placed here is the Dark King who was able to use Forbidden Curse Mages and Emperor levels like chess pieces and toys in a game. During his imprisonment in the Holy City, Mo Fan hinted that the Summon Plane might be even bigger than Dark Plane and existence of beings who can make Emperor levels into minions and playthings certainly exists but Mo Fan states his own level is too low to reach them and they have no reason to bother with humanity. Though the Author calls them God, he states that the concept of God doesn't exists in them

Monster vs Human
It was stated many times in the novel that a monster will need multiple humans of same level to defeat. On average they need 7 Mages to beat an equivalent level monster. Albeit Servant needs 7 Novices, Warriors needs 7 Intermediate Mages, Commanders needs 7 Advanced Mages, Rulers needs 7 Super Mages and Emperors needs 7 Forbidden Curse Mages to contend with. Note: This figure is mainly related to land demon creatures as their sea counterparts are usually 3 times stronger especially when in their element.

Plane Dominating
An existence that was only made canon by the author during a livestream as beings who surpasses Emperors. A clear example of such thing is the Darkness God. Though it was implied that beings who can make Emperors playthings and chess pieces exists in Summon Plane beyond the Kingdom of Fallen Beasts, thus, there is a high possibility of Plane Dominating beings in the Summon Plane.
