As Jace was getting close to the demon base, he got out his map. ‘Kay, what will hurt them the most. I what looked like there medical tent. I should have also destroyed most of their stockpile, so what?’ At this point Jace remembers that he can prepare his throwing knives and comes up with a plan. After thinking more however he gets a new idea to try.

“Reaper can you hold this.” Jace hands Reaper a throwing knife and creates a mana tether. “Kay, now fly as high as you can until you see me signal, then drop the throwing knife.” Reaper then takes off with Jace watching.

After getting around 75 feet in the air Jace feels the tether start to fail, so he signals to Reaper to drop it. Jace then watches as he controls the knife like a missile with the tether. ‘This is good information to know, now it looks like I have a backup plan?’ Jace then goes to thinking while drawing flaming hexes on a throwing knives.

When he has another epiphany ‘I bet that the hexes stick to things other than throwing knives. For my plan that would be perfect.’ Jace then picks up a rock from the ground. After finishing the hex he throws it and sets it alight.

‘As I thought, now let's go ruin everything for the demons.’ When Jace arrives he finishes the last of his fire stones and adds it to his collection. As he arrives though he sees something on the gate that makes his anger skyrocket.

On the wall was bodies from the safe zone. Jace immediately starts shaking in rage. ‘They will all die. Oh and would you look at that, the perfect start to my day’. In front of the gate Jace spots the Defense head.

Jace then signals to Reaper to come down. “Can you go check the walls to see if they are dry for me?” Reaper nods flying away. When Reaper comes back he has a piece of the wall. “Was it dry?” Reaper nods and gives Jace the piece “Yup, sure is dry. Now remember the plan, if anyone is on the other side of the wall start chirping.”

Reaper nods and flys off, as Jace draws his Cloak of Nothing. Jace's first stop is the Defense head. As Jace arrives in front of him he flips down his hood so that the demon could see. The Demon goes wide eyed as he sees Jaces head with nobody. He then sees Jace’s face that, not only was cold and emotionless, but had eyes so black that it was like looking into a black hole of death. This fear causes the Defense head to scream but nothing comes out of the gag. Jace smiles before saying “Night, night.”

The Defense head watches as Jaces drives his karambit into him, killing him instantly. Jace then stands up getting ready and starts running. ‘I only have 10 minutes to do this so I need to be as fast as possible’. Jace was running around the perimeter wall while dropping the stones periodically. ‘54…30…10…3 and done’.

With 3 seconds to spare Jace drops the last rock and escapes to the woods as his cloak wears off. After this Jace then calls Reaper handing him 3 throwing knives. “Kay, when I set off the hexes, I need you to drop these over this building. Got it?”

Reaper takes the knives while chirping. Jace, while in a tree with a view inside, watches until Reaper starts hovering and activates the hexes. The outside of all the walls all start to catch on fire as Reaper drops the throwing knives. Jace then controls 2 of them to the biggest hordes of demons, managing to cut a few before both finding their way into the demon's legs and out of sight. Jace activates the last hex on the throwing knife that had fallen into the biggest tent on the hill.

Jace then makes another cloak before escaping silently. Jace doesn’t hear any screaming from the base until he is well and far away. ‘Looks like they finally noticed their walls burning from the bottom up. But it isn’t enough, they need to pay more. They still have too many for me to attack at once, they did lose a noticeable amount though. So continuing to pump them with diseases that are stronger, is very beneficial and in my best interest’.

Jace then hears chirping over him from Reaper as his cloak wears off. He sees Reaper is pointing somewhere and sees a pair of wolves in the distance. ‘Heh, looks like I will be processing wolf meat. Hopefully it tastes like something other than chicken’. Jace pulls out 2 throwing knives and hits the both of them directly in the head between the eyes. “Ding killed 2 demon diseased wolves, xp gained 100. Increased due to title to 120 xp”

Jace nods while collecting his knives and the 2 wolves. After a long couple hour walk with all the weight of the wolves, Jace sits down as soon as he reaches the safe house. Reaper lands in his hands to which Jace starts stroking his feathers and talking.

“Well Reaper, looks like it is truly only you and me.” Jace then gets up to start processing the wolf meat. “Well Reaper, looks like we will have an interesting meal tonight.” This meal wouldn’t only be interesting for Jace, but open his eyes to the true powers he had received.

At the demon base after Jace had set off his hexes the Chief ran out of his tent to a world of gray. He could only see his hand when it was directly in front of him, everything else in every direction was gray. All around him all he could hear was yelling and what seemed to be the crackling of flames.

The Chief manages to find his war hammer and takes a massive swing. This manages to create a blast of air that pushes the fog away from him. After he does this however he feels a strong breeze and watches as all the smoke blows into the sky allowing him to see the mass of flame around the base. At this time he starts yelling orders like usual when he feels a heat behind him.
