Devil

''This article describes the race of Devils in The Continent. If there are devils from other worlds that need to be described, please bring up the issue on the talk page.''

Devils are the "anti-Gods", serving the Devil King Rathowm who wishes to replace the Creator God Ludo-Rathowm and rule the world.

Devils can bypass a Dark Lord's invulnerability. However in practice, Dark Lords tend to be a lot stronger than Devils that are summoned to the surface. There are a few Devils that are actually stronger than the Demon King, but they reside in the Devil Realm as rulers and do not come to the surface. By making contracts with mankind and stealing their souls to give to the Devil King, the power of the Devil King increases while that of the Gods wanes.

A Devil must follow the orders of the first human who knows its true name.

For a list of known devils, see Category:Devils.

Where Devils come from

 * The first Devil, Rathowm, was born from leftover souls that were part of Ludo-Rathowm's body being used to create the Three Supreme Gods.
 * The second Devil, Tero Ettienno, was created out of Rathowm's own body.
 * The Three Devil Princes were born from Tero Ettienno.
 * Devils may be born from mating between Devils. However a tainted soul is required in the process.
 * Devils may be born from mating between a Devil and a Human. However this is against the laws of the Devils with harsh punishments.
 * Kalars whose soul became corrupted will turn into Devils.
 * Humans who have performed many evil deeds may become Devils.

Devil Social Hierarchy
The Devils follow a strict hierarchy, and a lower ranked Devil must obey orders from a higher ranked Devil. Tero Ettienno is the only Devil without a rank, as she is the wife of the Devil King and also considered an extension of the Devil King's body.

Devils may be promoted or demoted in rank depending on their performance/deeds. One classic example is Ferris, who was demoted from Rank Six (an elite) to Rank Nine, worked her way up to Rank Seven, then as a criminal got demoted to Rank Eleven.


 * Rank Zero (零階級) - The Devil King, Rathowm
 * Special Rank (特階級) - The Three Devil Princes, ruling the Devil Realm together with the Devil King
 * Rank One ~ Rank Three - Direct subordinate to the princes, each of them is given land in the Devil Realm to govern. They supervise the Devils of Rank Four and below.
 * Rank Four ~ Rank Eight - These Devils are tasked with collecting souls, and are the typical Devils seen in the world. Kalars who turn into Devils start as Rank Eight.
 * Rank Nine ~ Rank Eleven - Lower class Devils residing in the Devil Realm. They include Devils who can't collect souls and have no special abilities, or Devils who have yet to proven their worth.
 * Rank Twelve - Newly born Devils start as Rank Twelve.
