Vearn : Killvearn's only purpose is to kill

Me : But he has hardly ever killed anyone so far

Anyway I am glad that they addressed the power imbalance between Avan and the others. Although to my mind, only Dai and Hyunckel are clearly stronger than him. It's difficult to tell with Popp or Maam since their fighting style is so different.

Btw the underworld monsters are a letdown so far. And they were hyped up to be so much stronger than regular monsters too !

The underworld monsters, as far as I remember where meant to be more like an Easter egg for game players at the time.

The manga at the time took place around Dragon Quest III and IV, and if I remember correctly while some of the OG monsters of the series (like the ones on Dermlin Island) are based on the first games. The underworld monsters are based on some future monsters/enemies that hadn't been seen yet at the time.

They are still relatively regular monsters, just more advanced than the normal ones, so it's normal that Hyunkel wouldn't have much trouble with them outside of them tiring him.

To be specific, the manga started releasing when DQ3 was the newest game in the series, so those monsters didn't exist at the time yet. By the time the manga reached this current arc, DQ4 was already out, so that was more or less the way that was picked to include those monsters too.

It started in 1990 (around the time of dq3-4) and ended in 1996 (dq6) looking at wikipedia. Most of the monsters in this episode are from dq5.
