Murkel's ambition was a great one, and he knew that the task of taking over the entire continent would not be easy.
Although he was sure that he was the strongest warrior in all of Pagna, despite not testing the limits of those in the Light Faction and Demonic Faction, he still knew that he couldn't go up against their entire forces on his own.
For one, the Light Faction had the Ten Elders, while the Demonic Faction had the Neverfall Clan, with Belil and his two sons.
Individually, Murkel could best them, but if he were to fight them at full force, he thought it would be the Dark Faction's loss.
In his mind, the Dark Faction was getting weaker, and he couldn't rely on just the strength of the five major clans anymore. Especially after the fall of Feebie and the entire Lethal Bite Clan.
This was just proof of his thoughts. In his research, he didn't leave a stone unturned when it came to those in the Dark Continent.
