The Fire Smander was an Elite monster!
Elite monster is a stronger version of the usual monster, they are very rare. For example this fire Smander has more attributes, is a higher level and even has an extra Spell. If killed, an Elite monster can drop more loot and give more EXP.
While I was inspecting its Stats, the < Blindness > Status effect on the Smander ran out. Eyeing at me the monster opened its mouth and started channeling Mana into his mouth before releasing a fireball in my direction.
Mages don''t usually have high agility and would not be able to dodge most of the spells. Luckily I''m a demon and since I didn''t choose a Subss my Attributes are a bit more bnced. My agility is highpared to other mages.
Rolling to the side I managed to evade the fireball. I still felt the heat of the me while it flew by my side. All the sensations are implemented in the game. One can feel pain, pleasure.... You can even taste food and smell flowers. Most of the yersined about the pain part, but soon shut their mouths, because creators of the game didn''t give them any attention.
Throwing another Darkness st I distanced myself from the monster.
- 120 Critical Damage!

~ Temporary Stun

Early game Elite monsters are easy to deal with, because theyck powerful skills and spells. Atter stages of the games Elite monsters are considered to be simr to bosses that can only be taken care of by a group of people or a powerful yer.
While the monster was stunned, my Darkness st was on cooldown. Quickly dashing towards the monster I used my staff and struck the Smander with all my might.

During the fight I noticed that I had enough damage to rival even an Elite Monster. Of course it was by pure luck that I managed to kill it. The critical hit saved me, because if the hit was normal and no status effect would be applied to the monster it would have a time window to attack me.
Status Effect and Critical hit has around 20% to be triggered. Me being able to trigger both of them at the same time is kind a lucky.
Waiting for another Smander to spawn I saw a group of people entering the forest. The group consisted of three male Devourers and two women who were either a Dark mage or a Priest. I couldn''t be 100% sure, because there isn''t a clear visual distinction between the two.
For some reason the group was approaching the tree I was sitting on. I was a bit annoyed, because they might steal my Smander kills, but I was safe since the forest still counted as a vige''s territory, disallowing them to attack me.
Eyeing the group I noticed that they weren''t aiming specifically at my location, they were just passing by. Lifting my eyes I saw them disappear in the distance before changing my hunting location.
Seeing people I thought that I was too close to the entry to the forest and changed my position.
After a few Minutes of walking I spotted a group of 3 Smanders walking through the forest.
Tiptoeing my way behind them I conjured the Darkness st beforeunching it at the unsuspecting group.

Closing the Hologram I opened the map and headed back to the vige. I''ll probably have toplete the quest lot of times to finally get the item I want.
Fortunately all the loot I get while killing the Smanders could be sold for Gold Coins to a Merchant in the middle of the vige.
Even though the Demon Merchant is very stingy with money and usually underpays for your items. To get on his good side and sell or buy stuff for a reasonable price one has toplete a Hidden quest that involves finding a lost medallion of the merchant. The medallion is located in one of the abandoned houses in the vige.
It wouldn''t be that bad if the house wasn''t overrun by ghosts. Later on in the game Demon''s can evolve their race into a ghost, but that is still unknown for now.
Leaving the forest I saw more and more people around the vige. I didn''t like that I had to literally squeeze through the crowd. I was already waiting for the week to pass when all the yers would notice the shorings of the demon ss.
Seeing the Old Man in the distance I somehow managed to pass through the people before interacting with John.
" You''vepleted the quest really fast... Hmmm? Let''s see.. "
John started mumbling under his breath while inspecting me from head to toe.
" I see... You''ve defeated an Elite monster. Good job young one and thank you for your help! "

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It seems like I''m blessed By Fortuna.
