章 52: Allura (2)

As I see Allura being trapped in a sword by Zatara, I leave the mansion and go back to the Fortress. As I reach my base I get John's call, telling me that he defeated Allura but she as she was being trapped she used her magic to place a powerful curse on him.

And now if he sees, hears, talks, or gets in touch with his family which will be Zatanna in this case, directly or indirectly they both will die. So he will be going to another dimension to find her other counterpart, the good Allura and maybe she could remove this curse.

I reassured him that I will take proper care of Zatanna and will protect her at all costs.

Tala was meditating in her room, I knew that as a demoness of hell her power comes from chaos magic, so the more chaos she brings the stronger she gets. But now as my slave, she will have to gather her magic the regular way.

I asked Jor-El about the meteor and he told me that the sunstones are ready and stored in my non-magical item storage room. I go there and see both of them stored in different vaults.

With my aura, I lift the mind power one which was yellow-colored and bring it into the meditation room, which, for now, was just an empty room.

The sunscreen crystals activate in different ways, this one will activate fully as you touch it. I sit cross-legged on the ground and grab it with my hand.

It glows bright yellow for a second and my mind goes blank. Suddenly I feel like the world became clearer, my thoughts became clearer. Even just thinking about the things I read from the Kryptonian database, I find that I have a whole new understanding and perspective of it.

I even found a black dark blob-like thing in my head, but I could tell it was not there in my skull, more so what it was in, was my mindscape. I focused on it and I could see it resisting back, I focused more wishing to destroy it and I see it get crushed, making it disappear.

I guess that was the corruption that was growing in my head. I go on to test that I can move things with my mind, and I was getting better rapidly with more practice.

I made the crystal float, in front of me and kept it back in the vault. I then went to my room where there was a very comfortable bed made of liquid geo.

I concentrated on Tala who was meditating in her room and tried to give her a mental message to come to me. She opened her eyes surprised and came to my room.

As she came into my room, I could hear her thoughts. I tried to talk to her mentally and can feel that I could establish a telepathic connection between both of us.

Maybe with more practice, I can even use a mental/psionic blast. Tala was very happy with my new powers and I could also read her thoughts about how she was still horny from performing the ritual.

I guess demons are weird, but I also started getting horny remembering about my session with Zatanna.

I picked her up with my mind and brought her to my side on my bed. We proceeded to go at it nonstop for hours. It went into a very crazy direction from just normal sex as I could hear her thoughts of what she wanted and provided it to her.

Mostly I wanted to vent, distract myself from what I had done. As I had started to feel guilty about it now and was disgusted at how I even felt a bit of gratitude for the book as I may have never accepted that sacrifice thing as easily.

But seeing the S mark on Tala's lower back while she was still shouting Master made me realize that I have to own up to what I have done and live with it.

In the morning I left the exhausted Tala to sleep in my bed and went to Vienna. I felt refreshed walking down the streets of this beautiful city.

I entered an antique shop and asked the old shop owner if he had some antique sword which he could show me. He brought me to the backroom where inside a barrel there were many swords kept.

I picked a sword that was relatively new looking with a purple grip and a very reflective small mirror-like pommel. The old man told me he never knew that he had such a sword lying around.

I looked at him and decided to test my new abilities. I concentrated on him and wished that he would give this to me for free as this was probably not his shop's product.

He tells me just that, with a smile and even follows me out to the exit. I go out, keep the sword in my storage, and fly back. So that confirms it, that I do have mind control powers too.

I put the sword in the magical item storage room. This sword is the Sword of Paracelsus, all I know about it is that Paracelsus was a physician in the middle ages and this sword belonged to him. Why it is also such a powerful sealing magic artifact, no one knows.

John used this sword last night to trap Allura and then like an idiot he puts it in an antique store so that no one would find it. Zatanna would find it eventually, tracking John's magic scent to this sword.

Allura would trick her into releasing her in exchange for telling his father's location which she does. But now that she is in my hands I will not just keep her as a decoration piece but will use her immense magic in making a magical defensive shield for my Fortress.

Suddenly Jor-El appears telling me that I have a call from Lena. I pick it up and can hear her crying on the other side.

"Clark, can you come here please? … It's Dad, he died."
