38 Burn It To The Ground (2/2)

”Amazing magic is so cool being left in this world was the best thing that has ever happened to me”. Fuelled by his love for magic Desmond started to check and store away everything he wanted away in the chests that were in the corner of the room. A few of them were empty most were filled with magic crystals the empty chests were filled to the brim with his spoils.

While storing away some of the books some of them caught his eye one was an introduction on how to create golems there were also a few books on all those traps he had seen in the hallways. The third thing that caught his eye was a book on Illusions Desmond remembered how he was caught in that plant's Illusion.

He was completely under that plant's mercy unable to do anything and may have been stuck that way if he couldn't poke his soul out. The Drowning river was completely different it was somehow able to enchant those who stare at it too long the same if you see your reflection in the water.

”Illusions and enchantment if I learn these two things won't I be untouchable” interested in the Idea Desmond searched for a book on enchantment only to find a book on lesser summoning and telekinesis instead along with another book on how to train your mind and a book with the next set of Intermediate runes I'm supposed to carve into my magic crystal.

”The introduction into magic package I bought already had the first five runes anything above beginner grade is regulated and kept out of reach from the public. Then how did these guys get this stuff”. Not getting an immediate answer Desmond just came to the conclusion people who live on the other side of the law all have there ways.

Finished packing everything away Desmond wondered how he was going to bring his winnings home. He knew going out the front door was a stupid Idea plane and simple who knew who would see him he didn't even know if he would make it a block before getting robbed.

Looking around Desmond had a sudden sense of familiarity with a wall In the corner. He moved a rack that was in the way placed his hand on it then spoke in a language he didn't know. The wall that was perfectly smooth with no kinds of hints to tell what it was in actuality was a secret escape tunnel.

Knowing what to do Desmond took everything he wanted then traveled deep into the tunnel that reconnected with the cities second sewer system. Were he stacked all the goods at the end of before adventuring forward In search of a landmark. It took him a while till he found a manhole that came out into an ally way on the corner of wrinkled burrow and wood line.

Not bothering to judge the tasteless idiot that came up with those street names Desmond went back underground to Vincent's hideout leaving his pile of treasure were it was yet not before stripping naked, leaving his bloody clothes on the floor, then tearing open his body once more to remove all the Items he had brought, and drunk another healing potion to seal himself back up again.

Then Desmond went back inside the storage room filled with guns, cases of bullets, and some knifes Desmond while standing there butt naked spoke a phrase that completely collapsed the tunnel behind him.

Returning the wall to normal never to be opened again after that Desmond left that room and went towards the closet with the cleaning supplies in it. He remembered seeing prisoner garments in the corner he quickly changed into them.

Taking the cleaning supplies Desmond cleaned up whatever blood lead towards the now sealed wall. Then he went to the other room with the dead bodies set up the scene just how he thought it out.

In Desmond's hand were two magic scrolls the last magic scroll he had brought with him and an anti-divination scroll. He tore the anti-divination scroll first, after burning up and dispersing in beauful lights the scroll look like it had no effect, but it did.

Then he tore up the scroll firestorm all around Desmond flames started to spread. Igniting the bodies and furniture turning everything around him into an inferno. The flames ignored Desmond, he had a brief window of invulnerably to the scrolls magic since he tore the scroll.

Walking off from the burning hell he had created Desmond closed the iron door keeping the fire from spreading to the back rooms there he picked a comfortable looking cell and stabbed himself in the gut with a throwing dagger he found in the other storage room.

The stab was not too deep and hit nothing critical it was just good enough to be believable. Than Desmond chained himself to the wall with no key in sight as the fire spread and burned the building to the ground.
