Zald

Wouldn't the high levels reached by the Z&H families be due to having completed two of the great quests? If not, then at the very least Zald and Alfia would be able to reach level 8. What do you think?

I have the feeling that if Bell and Ottar fight, which I think is very likely to happen, then it will be like the fight between Zald and Ottar in Astrea Records, with Ottar being the former and Bell being the latter. This idea is suported mainly by the thought that Bell's heritage (him being the last survivor of the Zeus and Hera familia) is revealed, which seriously, I can't think of any better arc than this one for this to be revealed to the world, and the extra story of Astrea Records where Zald and Alfia say that if Bell were to be part of the fight against the OEBD, then they wished that the heroes that they were about to create would guide him. I can easily see Ottar decide to use his fight with Bell to test him. Either lose, join my familia and I will train you, or win and surpass me and carry the legacy of the ones before you. I have a really big feeling that this would happen since Oomori already said that Astrea Records was a great source of inspiration for vol 16 and 17.

Yes the title pretty much says it and I mean it seriously.

Ottar was able to defeat Zard a lvl 7 that has the power of a lvl 8 as lvl 6. So Ottar defeated someone who was technicly two lvl 2s above him but has problems against balor which is probably just a lvl 8 monster rex. How does that make sense?

Ottar is now in the Story a max lvl 7, who can beastify himself to strengthen himself even more and has an OP short chant magic. How can he not lvl up. The Balor shouldnt be that difficult to defeat when he defeated someone who was most likely even stronger then that Monster.

Seriously the entire Series is getting more plot holes after another since the 3rd Anni Event. It doesnt make sense that Ottar isnt able to defeat Balor which has is roughly at the same strenght lvl of Zard when he defeat Zard when he was even weaker then now.
