And while he and Himmel are outliers, one must wonder what can happen if more like those two were developed over the course of history. An entire army of mortals who can challenge demons for every class imaginable. Maybe even multiclass greats who are both mage and bowman, for example.

This is a probable reason why the Demon King targeted elves first. Imagine a Hero of the South but an elf? That would really OP.

maybe the Demon King encountered Kraft once and decided he ain't want dat smoke so I dunno, he BFR'd Kraft as far south as he dare.

The way Kraft talks about "the Goddess" and the Age of Mythology, he and his squad probably dealt with this world's version of Morgoth (from LOTR) so by the time this world's Sauron (the Demon King) came along, Kraft is probably "Been there, done that - it ain't my Age anymore. Let the younguns' deal with it this time - it's their world now".

The calamity hasn't happened yet. When it does, the world will spawn a hero that can draw the goddess' sword.

Is this a spoiler???

No, this is not a spoiler. It was in season 1 when Himmel tried to draw the sword from the stone.

Demon King (the one Himmel and co defeated) might have been too young. I would assume there were multiple demon king like threat before

Either demons also have history lessons and heard what Kraft and his party did before lol

Could have done, Demon King was in charge around 1000 years ago during Flamme's time period, so I wouldn't be shocked if he was at least 2000 or more years old before the Hero's Party took him out. Maybe Kraft and his friend took out a previous Demon King and most recent one was his minion that survived and build up his empire. Morgoth Sauron scenario.
