Calamity Messenger
Chapter 200 - 157: Demon Dao (Part 3)
The reason is not hard to understand. The Military Town is only responsible for High-Turn Messengers and can afford to spend a lot of time and even casualties to attack the Secret Realm because High-Turn Messengers only care about the Clear Treasure Chest. However, Demonic Messengers are responsible for themselves, so naturally, they only do what they are capable of. Moreover, most Demonic Messengers are bullies who prey on the weak; how could they possibly risk challenging powerful demon fiends?
Since no one is willing to clear the Secret Realm, it is better to reset it multiple times. Everyone can fight the Shadow Wolf several times, at least gaining more rewards.
According to Shang Xinlei, the righteous path is the faction that values possession, while the Demon Dao is the faction that values absence. These are two completely different ecosystems, without right or wrong, but judging by the results, the resource output of the Military Town is inevitably higher than that of the Demon Path Evil Land... No wonder Demonic Messengers possess the Asura Token, such a powerful tool, yet can only cower in this mountain niche wielding power.
Yan Qing also noticed that Demonic Messengers appear fierce, and the Asura Token can penetrate defense barriers, yet the equipment of most Demonic Messengers is too poor.
After all, being accustomed to killing for treasures, who would still be willing to venture into the Secret Realm to get equipment? If they were willing to fight in the Secret Realm, they wouldn’t be muddling through in the Demon Dao.
More importantly, whereas in the game Asura Messengers can update their equipment on the battlefield, here Demonic Messengers can only buy tokens from other Three Kingdoms through the black market. Naturally, they can only obtain inferior goods; high-grade tokens are pre-ordered by major forces before they’re even released. That’s why Rabbit Heroine and Pharmacist’s Wish can kill Demonic Messengers like chickens along the way; the Asura Token cannot make up for their equipment disadvantage.
Then if the Military Town Third Transition becomes the Demon Dao, like how Blood Phase, Beiyou, and Prajna are, is it the version answer? For example, if Helan Que transitions to Demon Dao, wouldn’t it become the sharpest spear of the Helan Family?
Not to mention how many people Helan Que must kill to transition to Demon Dao, a more crucial point is that turning a normal token into an Asura Token greatly reduces the token’s lethality.
Yan Qing realized after seeing so many Asura Tokens along the way that their output is too low.
For example, Ye Kai’s Hundred Poison Silk Hand has a base damage surprisingly of 5 points of poison damage, which is enough for people, but it merely scratches demon fiends. Moreover, only the poison mist authority can penetrate defenses; his normal attack does not have penetrating characteristics.
If Yan Qing’s guess is correct, to enhance the output of the Asura Token, a large amount of blood-colored Slaughter Value should be required to upgrade the token.
In the game, it’s simple; there are missions on the battlefield, but in reality, they can only hunt others, and not ordinary people.
Given the Rabbit Heroine’s scenario where the Colorless Slaughter Value surpasses 100 and growth suddenly slows, it’s likely that Demonic Messengers need to slaughter other messengers to noticeably increase their blood-colored Slaughter Value once it exceeds 100.
With the desire for Demon Path Third Transition to go from 100 Slaughter Value to 1000 Slaughter Value, how many Second Transitions and Third Transitions must be killed? To walk further down this path, one must fight stronger, the stronger one fights. It’s fitting to say it’s the single-minded pursuit of Asura, bringing fire to consume the tears of all life.
Therefore, while it’s not impossible for large forces to cultivate Demon Path Third Transitions, they must first cripple a Military Town Third Transition, and then feed them with a lot of messengers... The family Military Town, though not a charitable organization, is attentive to input-output ratios.
If in the game Blood-colored Asura is a road with great prospects, then the Blood-colored Demon Dao in this world is probably a narrow bridge that only a very few can walk through. All others are merely bullies getting by, relying on the Asura Token to prey on the weak.
