At the same time, people were beginning to shoot inside the hole Desmond cast the new spell he created. The result was a bright explosion that created a constant screeching sound. The bright light and sound messed with everyone's aim and blinded them. Saving him from getting shot as he took the opportunity to slip into the crowd in search of his target.
Desmond's antics only served to infuriate Cornel who was blinded just like everyone else. The spell didn't last long only a few seconds. When it did end everyone slowly regained their senses and was able to see again.
Cornel moved towards the hole but didn't see Desmond in there. He was beyond displeased with such an outcome. Cornel didn't care about the ritual sacrifice anymore he just wanted Desmond dead. Believing Desmond was still hiding underground Cornel attempted to give people new instructions, but what came out of his mouth was something he didn't expect.
"You racist twats is that all you've got I'm still standing right here?" Cornels was puzzled by what he just said and his face would look it as well, but only his displeasure and disgust could be conveyed as he looked around the room.
His scowl received the same response from everyone as they all pointed their guns at Cornel. He wanted to ask what those idiots were doing, but what he said was, "You think I'm scared of any of you? Why do you think I'm standing here? It's so I can look you all in the eye and say screw you!".
Cornel tried hard to get the right words to come out, but it just wasn't happening. Which was bad because from where he was standing he could clearly see how badly people wanted to pull their trigger.
Cornel was still a bit perplexed on what was going on until suddenly he saw himself walking out of the crowd head held high ready to judge the dirty old man in front of him. Desmond had altered his and Cornel's appearance it was a near perfect representation of both of them.
While Desmond's plan proved to be effective he knew it wouldn't work for long because his spells had many flaws that would be exposed the longer he tries to keep up the charade. Desmond dedicated daily training in the sewers has finally born fruit. The results brought a smile to Desmond's face as he passed judgment on him.
With his arms raised Desmond said "My brothers and sister this old fool has not only taken the lives of cherished members of our community but the lives of your loved ones that you will never see again. So, I feel it is only befitting that his life end by the hands of those he took from. Doing so will please not only the great kali but your loved ones as well".
Cornel couldn't help laughing at Desmond's words. Cornel immediately had a few choice words of his own to say to Desmond. As he activated the power of the mutated bull skull mask just to have his words changed into.
"You think I care about what you think of me or your filthy families at least if I die it will be on my feet standing against you people. Then I won't have to keep breathing the same air as you. so, go on kill me. You heard me I said kill me!".
As cornel's eyes glowed bright and sparks escaped his mouth the people in the crowd followed threw with his plea for death. The whole crowd opened fire giving him exactly what he asked for. The sea of bullets broke Cornel's protective charm, shot him to bits and tore a massive hole in the side of the building. With one side of the building's walls destroyed all the wards placed beforehand were destroyed as well.
Alerting the entire compound to the abnormalities happening inside. The four people who were originally on the roof of the building with automatic guns were startled into action. They rushed to help along with the rest of the compound.
After the volley of gunfire was finished a few people noticed some peculiar things about the torn up body. Mostly how it looked just like Cornel. Then even more people started to point out the similar clothes, face, and broken magic items laying on the ground.
All of which would have been a problem for Desmond if it wasn't already too late to stop him. While people were realizing what had just happened Desmond had already slipped next to a person holding an automatic weapon and used his ultimate move heartbreak on him.
Before the man didn't even get to know who killed him before he died with blood gushing from his mouth. As the man's body was falling to the ground Desmond Desmond grabbed the gun and got it ready to fire in mear moments because of his military training.
Without restraint, Desmond fired into the crowd dropping people like flies while still disguised as Cornel. The people on the compound who rushed to assist were appalled to witness Cornel a man who they trusted dearly had lost his mind.
The more Desmond killed the more his blood lust rose making his soul stir. He had completely forgotten the plan to escape and only wanted to kill and feed. The people who just showed up couldn't allow Cornel to continue mowing down people. So, they took aim at Cornel and fired upon him.
Desmond tried to fight them all off, but more people continued to pour into the building while others started to surround it. While Desmond did want to kill people and eat their souls he hadn't lost all sense of reasoning. He could still see the disadvantage that he was in especially when people started to down shoot at him from the ceiling. Surrounded and outgunned Desmond made a decision that took an equal amount of brains as it did balls but was mostly just pure insanity.
Desmond in his blood crazed state took aim at the only blast furnace that was on and unloaded his magazine at it. The resulting explosion was enormous, the entire building exploded and went up in flames. The explosion caught many of the people trying to surround the building in it. While those who were standing on the roof helped paint the floor red when the crashed landed on the ground and broke their skulls on the pavement.
As the building burned down around Desmond he picked himself up from the ground while he was still on fire and put himself out. His body was cooked, but Desmond wasn't going any were without a meal. So, Desmond stayed a little longer while being roasted by the flames having himself a fantastic feast.
He ate as many souls as he could find before turning invisible and leaving with the incense burner.
I've been having difficulty paying my medical bills so sorry for slow inconsistent updates.
