In terms of base attribute panels alone, this [King of Outland, Soul Devourer Magtheridon (Avatar)] was somewhat stronger than [Withered Destroyer Artorius].
Both belonged to the [Blood-Burning Demon] race and were both [Lower Legendary] rank.
The only difference was that [King of Outland, Soul Devourer Magtheridon (Avatar)] possessed the strength of a standard Lower Legendary great demon, while [Withered Destroyer Artorius] was still affected by [Divine Punishment Suppression]. Its strength had been reduced to a certain extent, and it was not in its prime.
It was only natural that Artorius, in its withered state, had inferior attributes compared to Magtheridon's avatar.
The strength of great demons was difficult to measure by conventional standards. Artorius's rank at its peak had been far more than merely Lower Legendary. Its weakened strength had diminished its attributes, but it had not reduced its spellcasting ability.
That was why the Magtheridon avatar it had summoned possessed the standard attributes of a Lower Legendary great demon.
Furthermore, Magtheridon had just absorbed a wave of lingering souls, gaining nourishment and becoming stronger. Thus, Magtheridon's avatar appeared stronger than Artorius, which was itself part of its plan.
Zong Shen also noticed that Magtheridon's avatar had no concept of levels.
This might have been related to the fact that it was a summoned avatar.
Artorius had no way to summon its big brother himself, but it could summon its big brother's avatar.

Zong Shen watched as Magtheridon's avatar continued to rely on its shield to wreak havoc among the Blackvein Clan warriors.
To be honest, he had not encountered many Legendary-ranked
