Of course, the level of the risks varies, and so do the rewards received after victory. For Ugo and his team, defeating a Shadow Demon only yields about one-third of the physical strength and combat skills. Ugo, after three victories, could only amplify his physique by 2.3 times which, while much more than an average person, still falls far away from a professional boxer.
He hasn't even touched the threshold of human limits.
Casio, however, progresses in leaps and bounds.
So, both have their pros and cons. Ugo's way of hosting the Shadow Demon poses a lesser risk, offering multiple opportunities but naturally the gains are lesser. With the way Casio hosts the Shadow Demon, the threat is enormous, resulting in instant death upon failure. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, hence, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.
