Yet Vali couldn’t take him even with the help of his teammates and he’s considered top ten along with Issei and Crom and even Issei avoided facing him and he did all this despite being a 50 year old human? How does that make sense. Cao Cao defeated Issei and the entire Vali team when he went serious and would of beat Issei in there rematch if Issei didn’t use the blood but it definitely sent a message that Cao Cao was far more talented and stronger then Issei. Sure he struggled against Sairorg but that’s because Sairorg is very talented in hand to hand and Cao Cao relies more on technique while Issei and Vali kind of just use destructive power. Sairorg is also above Maou class even without his armor i’d say he’s still ultimate devil class/low maou class
