speaker is someone that normally fights demons, but fell for a trap set up by
A, a human. Speaker has always hated A.

> 私としたことが……相手が、魔族じゃないと……Aごときと侮って、視野が狭くなってた…… pass out
>
> I, of all people.... A...isn't a demon....underestimating (someone) like A,
> I became conceited.

[from what i can tell ~と侮る seems common as
~を侮る](http://yourei.jp/%E3%81%A8%E4%BE%AE%E3%82%8B)

from
[「たかが過換気」と侮ってはいけない](https://medical.nikkeibp.co.jp/leaf/mem/pub/cadetto/practice/yueki/201712/552564.html),
i assume that this is used as a quote to describe the preceeding claused just
like
["ミユキちゃんが結婚した"と知ってる](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/5236/how-do-
you-use-%e3%81%a8%e7%9f%a5%e3%82%8b)

are both 相手が、魔族じゃない **と** and Aごとき **と** attached to 侮って or is it
「相手が、魔族じゃないと……Aごとき」と侮って?

more generally

If a random sentence had ~を侮る instead of ~と侮る, i probably wouldn't bat an eye.
I suppose i could say the same for ~と知る vs ~を知る. CTRL-F'ing my past texts i
found を知る is used 5x more often than と知る。

After this encountering this ~と侮る sentence i realized i really can't tell the
difference between ~と知る vs ~を知る either.

Thank you for any clarifications.

question
particle-と particle-を
used of と侮る in these sentence and ~と侮る vs ~を侮る (perhaps related to 知る as well)
(AをBと)侮る is one of the verbs that take both を and と and means "to (verb) A as
B". The part marked by と can be a full quote (clause or mini-sentence), but it
can be a bare noun or a noun phrase, too. As usual, both the を-part and the
と-part may be omitted.

The difference between ～を知る and ～と知る is similar, but と usually takes a full
quote (i.e., mini-sentence with a verb). In fixed expressions and literary
expressions, `noun + と知る` exists.
