Court of Yellow Eyes Part 3 [Land Grab]

Jack had stationed some of his troops around theentrances, at leas this way they’d know if any of the hunger thralls broke through the shield of tunnel ants once again. As for Jack. He was slowly walking back to the court of madness his thoughts now completely consumed by Ceila’s smirk and her last words. The court of Madness was an infection. A shadow of the powers of a former madness demon. A powerful one. It didn’t suppress the powers of other elements of the subconscious. It merely converted them into madness. Making it so that the demon of one element could not use that specific power. Thus making it appear as if they were being suppressed. Any time spent within that place, any extended time. And there was a question as to whether or not a person would in fact become a madness demon for the remainder of their lives. Jack approached the entrance. The large stone doors like an open mouth. Like the madness that awaited within it seemed to want to consume him. He didn’t like the idea of something like this existing. It gave Ceila and Madness a tool that could be used to convert other demons. With this. She could quickly replenish the numbers of her clan with powerful demons. Converting them into madness demons in the same way the Glutton converted other demons into hunger thralls. Simply lock them inside and let time do the work. This was dangerous, but at the same time, he knew that it could also be used as a weapon. If they could trap the glutton inside. Then, they could suppress his powers.Just like had happened the last time. Even with powers supresed the Glutton was a powerful foe and would likely require himself and several others to overcome him. Which meant they;d need to risk themselves to madness.

“ It’ll be useful”.

The once leader of madness said to him as he stood at the entrance, she was inside, he doubted it effected her powers at al. Already being a madness demon. “ Don’tcha think?”. Jack knew that it would be useful. But he had an idea that he and Ceila had different plans of just what this place would be useful for. “ Indeed, usefulagainst the Glutton....it would be a suseful trap...but after that. It would have to be destroyed”. It was surprising to see genuine emotion popping up on Ceila’s face for once. “ What are you talking about Jack? This place is worth more to me than just the promise of getting my clan back. If you had any idea what this place held ffor me, for you, for both of us.....then you wouldn’t even think of saying something like that!”. Jack gritted his teeth. FCeila was an ally. Albiet an unreliable one. And against the Glutton if they managed to trap it within this court of madness. Then Ceila wouldn’t lose her powers and would present ahuge advantage over it. Yet, the way she was acting around talk of its destruction. There was going to be a conflict for this. Jack knew it. His hand twitched as he stared her down. “ Don’t question me Ceila...my troops hold this place...not you”. Ceila let out a smirk closing her eyes. “ Is that so?...fine...I’ll fight you for this place...you win. You do what you want with it...I win....well...It stands...”. Jack didn’t like the idea of this however. He presented his own terms of action. “ Fine”. He gritted his teeth. “ But alliegences do not change regardless of the victor”. Ceila nodded and opened her eyes. A sword, larger than her body and thicker than a man. Just like the shade form of herself.

It felt like there were drums. But there wern’t it was his heart and he knew that much. But still. He remembered when he had opened the door in the past. When he’d heard that tapping on the door. When he’d heard the sound of drums before. When he had first awakened from the dawn. When the sound of drums brought him to life. And brought him into this world as he was. She swung, a single hand strike swinging a sword that was heavy. Far too heavy than someone her size. At least as a human would be able to lift. Still it moved in at some speed. It reminded him of the battle against he shade and yet, this one was stronger. The attack came in much fater than he had expected, barely giving him enough time to bring his sword up for a block. The impact and weight of the blade against his own sent a shockwave throughout Jack. Winding him. Just as he had suspected Ceila was far stronger than her figure would have otherwise let on. Still, Jack used this, moving back with the force and letting himself roll along with it. Allowing himself to roll directly out of the Court of Madness. With that infection subsiding. He would now allow him to unleash the power of his blood magic. It seemed that Ceila recognised this as well. Her eyes widening. This battle would not have any time to continue as Jack raised up his hand and pointed it at Ceila. Within her veins her blood would begin to turn against her. He white blood cells attacking her own body. She would fall over onto her knees. The sword dropped down on to the ground with a clang as she was crippled in agony. Jack rushed forwards back itno the court. Taking advantage of ths pint and then belting her in the face with a run up kick. His foot connected with her chin. A sickening crack, her jaw clearly dislocating with the force behind it.. She was Kod’d the sword disappearing. Jack leaving that at that. Grabbed her by the hair. And began to drag her out of the court of madness. He wasn’t going to be risking staying in this place any longer than was neccisary. There was nothing that said the effect on a demon was not cumulative and he wasn’t personally willing to take the risk on it either. With the court of madness secured uner his control. All that remained was waiting till Ceila woke up
