As it appears now, you will only "lose" 1 Nethershard, as you gain 2499 shards as the quest reward. So, this quest is more of a check whether you have that many shards, but you don't have to "pay" them.
It's important to note that if you don't have any shards when you get this quest, the quickest way to get them is to do the 6 world quests for any legion invasion. That will give you a minimum of 1,500 shards, and often gives you many more than that. I got all 2500 from one invasion, without needing to do the final scenario.

Description
As you have surely noticed, a slain demon leaves behind Nethershards, solidified residual energy from the Twisting Nether. I require a significant quantity of them for an experiment I'm conducting... oa shards, to be precise. Why are you looking at me like that? We've had this conversation before. I did the math. I need exactly oa shards. Fewer would be inadequate. More would be absurd. Don't question my methods. Go!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Champions of Legionfall
The battle to reclaim the Broken Shore is straining our resources. We cannot afford to relent, lest the Legion undo all that we have accomplished. The members of your order have given much, but more is needed. Rally your champions and do what you must to bolster their ranks.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mark of the Sentinax
The Sentinax rains down terror upon the Broken Shore, unleashing hordes of demons that menace our forces. The fiends seek to stop us from taking the Tomb. They will fail. Lure out the strongest among their vile ranks. Slay them and seize the marks they bear. Make the Legion fear our strength!
