76 Oblivion Bar (2)

Suddenly the rowdy bar is silenced, even the performance on the stage has stopped. The people look on to see the famous powerful magician Nick float helplessly in front of a man wearing a black skinsuit with sliver lines on it and a silver S on his chest.

NIck after hearing that voice is horrified to find that he is not even able to move a muscle. As he is thinking how could someone cast a spell on him without him knowing he finds himself hovering and then turns to come face to face with the voice.

And as he sees the man, Nick hears a voice inside his head,

'Izanami'

and then his eyes glaze over.

"Nicolas Nolan, or Nick Necro, it's laughable how a small-time black magician like you considers himself powerful. Maybe after a day of introspection you will know it's best to stay away from her", The man goes a bit near the dazed Nick and speaks in a low enough voice, " Or else those visions won't be just visions anymore", The man then snaps his fingers making Nick disappear from the place.

*Supes_POV*

Zatanna keeps her glass down and jumps on me, wrapping her arms around my neck happily while I support her by her lower body, "Hey Baby, you came"

"How could I miss your first performance, Zee", Zatanna comes down on the ground and looks at my suit.

"tekcaj no" Zatanna uses magic to conjure a black overcoat over me.

She then adjusts it so that only the silver S is visible partially, "This is better", She then looks around. The people around the bar see that the show is over and they get back to their conversations.

"My act is about to start, wish me luck", she kisses me and goes backstage to prepare, leaving me with her drink.

The oblivion bar is a bar and a tavern located in a pocket dimension. It has magical entrances scattered in many places like Atlanta, Georgia, New York, Gotham, Metropolis, and New Orleans.

The entrances shift from time to time but can be tracked and remain recognizable through magic. The bar is well known as a neutral zone for everything magical in nature.

I looked around to see the bar filled with all sorts of weird people, magicians, sorcerers, demons, monsters, fairies, minding their own business. I could even feel many eyes on me, especially from a particular corner.

Ignoring them for now I finish Zatanna's drink and order another one looking at the stage for her act to start.

While waiting, I think about some of my newest techniques, one of which I recently used, Tsukuyomi. Despite the lack of Sharingan, I was able to recreate my version of this technique through my new mental abilities.

Veronica would use the spell from the book Soul Displacement in hopes of a cure. Any adept magician is able to displace his/her soul and may traverse the planes between life and death easily.

But if a neophyte enters the void between life and death, the transition is cataclysmic. Veronica would enter the void where she would get lost, her mind would stretch to flaying, she would lose the concept of time, her physical signature would be scattered to atomic rot.

But all this won't grant her death as her attachment to John would create an emotional resonance. It would morph her into a ghastly wraith, changing her body to a red tentacled monster.

She would come back as a mindless spirit of vengeance, to haunt John in the future where he would have to face and kill her, blaming himself for what happened to her.

I showed John visions of all these possible futures, by putting him in a kind of Genjutsu, hence I call the technique Tsukuyomi. He was able to see the visions as if they were real.

After getting out of it, he knew it was just a dream, an illusion but the emotions he felt and the visions he saw, stayed with him.

It's a good technique but nothing as powerful as the one I used on Nick, Izanami. He is also in a dream-like state, the difference is he is in a constant loop of me killing him in different ways for hitting on Zatanna.

He will be in that loop for a whole day, planting a very deep-rooted seed of fear and obedience for me. It's my first time using it so offensively so I will have to keep an eye on him to make sure that he doesn't lose his mind.

In a quiet corner of the bar, there were 2 people sitting on a sofa. One was wearing a weird blue skinsuit which even covered his head only leaving his face visible, with a red cape on and another was a chimpanzee wearing a brown suit with a brown deerstalker hat.

"So, what do you think?" The man who was holding a sword with a golden hilt, asks the chimp.

"I thought, I must be too drunk when I saw a man teleporting straight inside the bar covered in a golden light … The doorway should be the only entrance for anyone to enter this dimension, but he just teleported in the middle of the bar directly. I did see him holding what looked like a golden trident for a second, if that's the trident from the Atlantean legends then everything would make sense" The Chimp said while gulping another sip from his beer bottle.

"And he seems to be a powerful psychic as well as a magician from how he took care of Nick that easily, but he seems to be Zatanna's boyfriend so I don't think there is a need to worry … It's just I haven't even heard anything about someone like him", The man said while stroking the hilt of his sword.

"Let's meet him after the performance then", The chimp said emptying the bottle and taking another from the table.
