“Fine…” The masked savior said with resolve, lighting the fading hopes in the hearts of everyone who heard him.
“I’ll kill them all!”

‘Psych! This is just too good. Pfft!’ My mind rang in absolute amusent.
From the start, I knew this would be a silly plan, but it was even funnier than I had pictured.
The reason I suggested that our group run, in the first place, was not to escape the stampede but to offer a false sense of hope to everyone.
As soon as we reached the flatlands, I used to pour out a number of the Hobs I had captured before now. This stopped everyone in their tracks and greeted them with despair, but it wasn’t enough. To fully drown them in despondency, I summoned more Hobs behind them, very close to .
I called their attention and made sure they all witnessed getting brutally ‘killed’ by the Hobgoblins. That was another reason I made sure I was at the very rear of the group.
Of course, the Demons didn’t actually hurt in any way. Just before their slow bodies ca into contact with mine, I used to cloak myself and also summoned one of the few Gifteds I had in [Subspace]. Other than Larry and Lara, I had one other Gifted in my storage. It was the sa guy whose arm I had cut off for touching my shoulder..
The Demons killed him and mutilated his body beyond recognition, serving as the perfect sacrifice for my death.
After this, I remained hidden with and quickly changed into my ‘Masked Hero’ costu. While I did this, I watched the Hobs kill so of the scared Gifteds. It served as a good way to pass ti, plus I needed them to experience enough loss to trigger even greater gratitude when I saved them!
Using , I made the unease of everyone dissipate when they saw and caused them to incline their trust toward .
While useless against Demons, was useful for the Gifteds since we were of the sa kin. I often used it to intimidate others, but it had other uses. One of which was to control the emotions of others.
The fact that their intelligence had drastically reduced and they were in a precarious situation helped. Everyone trusted wholeheartedly. It was perfect!
‘By killing off ‘Jeremy’ and taking on the title of ‘Masked Hero’, I can act more freely.’ I reasoned.
Now confronted with the very Demons summoned through [Subspace], I considered it a waste to kill them, but it was necessary to keep up appearances.
>BZZZTTTTZZZFWOOOSH<
My body fluidly brushed with the wind as I gripped my daggers tightly. The crimson light emanating from my body lit the way, and the sparks of lightning energized even more.
Swinging my arms powerfully, I made sure to kill five or more Demons in one strike.
>SWISH!
