Tap, tap, tap! Those were footsteps!
Footsteps sounded continuously, treading through lush grass as Rex advanced, holding the Crystal Ball.
Images kept appearing on the green Crystal Ball as Rex used it to search for Tichondrius.
Trees, flowers, and grass passed across the Crystal Ball until a demon finally appeared. It was a Felguard, tall and carrying a heavy weapon, moving about constantly. Rex judged that it was patrolling.
Now that he had found traces of demons, the scenery scrolling across the Crystal Ball began to slow. Following the direction where the demon stood, Rex shifted the view, probing deeper little by little.
Beyond the demon squad, Rex discovered more demons gathered in the area. As the view revealed by the Crystal Ball pushed farther in, the demons grew stronger. They were no longer low-ranking Felguards like the one he had first seen, but Greater Demons.
Rex located Tichondrius in the northeastern part of the demon encampment, rather than at its center.

That did not mean Tichondrius was weak. The Burning Legion followed the law
