148: Sand Demon

"Our Quest is to kill fifty Sand Demons and gather their cores,"  Layim explained. "They are hard to defeat and kill, but what's even harder is finding them."

"The Sand Demons never travel in groups. You might find one and be able to kill it, but that's just one. To go to the next floor, we need to kill fifty, which takes years. We did many things, but none of them relate to the missions."

"You think it's not..." Azekiel smiled. "You're right. It's hard to gather all the Sand Demons at one place or find fifty of them, but hard doesn't mean impossible. All the missions that I gave you were to draw out the Sand Demons."

"How?" 

Even now, no one understood how that all linked. 

"You stole the crown from the Nature Elves, which made them restless. At the same time, the Dark Elves were manipulated to attack the Nature Elves. That is the first step and the most important. The battlefield will be where we will find the Sand Demons."
