Chapter 9 - Arc 1:Kamiya Tomiyama. Chapter 8:A Bizarre type of Love.

A mass of flesh and teeth walked through the land, devouring flesh upon it's wake, feeding it's civilians the ones that walks on its way.

The plants, the sea and even the land all it touches become apart of it. The King of silence who lost his land, now forever wandering upon this accursed World.

Kamiya saw a creature resembling a skinned fleshy human, on its body was the faces of thousands if not millions of creatures, from insects to animals from animals to humans and from humans to plants.

The creature was four hundred meters tall and it drags its sickly body in the land, assimilating everything it touches. It's name was Igniers the walking kingdom.

Kamiya hold back the urge to empty his stomach, he felt a terrifying wrongness on that creature that even Shingensha couldn't compare to.

That thing was in sorrow and there was no one that could end it, it is an immortal abomination whose fate was to duffer for all eternity, it was not the divine cancer of a god nor was it a fallen angels....it was just a pitiful bunch of mortal creatures whose fates where manipulated by the beings they once worshipped.

Nuzres worriedly reached our and held Kamiya. "Are you okay?."

Kamiya steadied himself.

//Can't I catch a fucking break, but this threat seems to be far less than angels and God's....I don't know whose showing this vision but it means I have to either pass through that thing or...kill it//.

"Yeah, just a little headache." Kamiya said as he turned to Nizres, she was actually acting strange. "Anyways...what's up with you?."

Nuzres looked up at him. "What do you mean?."

"You called me Kamiya instead of little King for example and then you seem more...determined than before, is it because of your evolution." He asked, rather skeptical, wasn't a personality change a bit too much.

Nuzres smiled. "I heard what you told to the water spirit, though i only called you little King because your name sounded strange to pronounce, it is not exactly a part of the native language here and i am determined to become a stronger Divine Symbol."

What kind of excuse was that, he believes the second part but the first, not so much. He let out a sigh and just forgot about it, there was currently too much on his mind.

The sky was even getting dark even though the second sun was shining brightly, today was a truly hectic day a soon as he awoke from his Coma he went into an indescribable series of events.

Technically speaking, this was Kamiya's first full day in this world and what he needed now was a break but seeing how everytime he breaths a literal calamity happens he would not be getting a break until he claims his 'Throne' or something.

//Ugh I'm starting to lose it but I still have not gone insane yet so that's something//

Kamiya still does not know why he did not go insane after witnessing things beyond his literal comprehension, it could be because his authority is protecting him or something else is stopping him from going mad from the mental corruption of the things he has seen.

Kamiya suddenly shuddered, it felt like something just touched him somewhere inappropriate, he looked at Nuzres and saw it wasn't her so he ignored it and walked into the forest behind him.

Nuzres as always followed his lead even though she knew that he didn't know where he was going, her eyes weren't on anywhere anymore and she didn't seem to care about hoarding things at the moment.

Instead she looked at Kamiya's arm, they looked so soft, they even felt soft and warm, Nuzres didn't tell Kamiya this but with her evolution she had gained a 'flaw' other she was about to obtain a rather deadly one but on the process of her Evolution, Kamiya's arm was holding hers and she accidentally took in a bit of his own blood without realising.

To a Hellspawn like her she thought it would do nothing to harm him or her but she was terribly wrong, her connection with the Judgeful was now barely connected to a thin string while her connection to Kamiya was that of a thick chain.

What she meant was that Kamiya had partially turned her into his Divine Symbol and with that she obtained a 'flaw' and that 'flaw' was hers, not Kamiyas nor was it the Cour Kings own.

That Flaw was but it was not a bad one, in fact she didn't mind it at all and even wanted to get closer to Kamiya but she was a bit afraid at the moment, she still needs to guide him and slowly build a relationship with him or else she couldn't get closer.

Soon the two navigated the dark green lush forest, there were some small creatures around but they all seemed passive.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at an opening filled with small houses looking like caved and the people who were walking around suddenly turned towards them all at the same time.

The people here weren't exactly human, all of them had slightly longer ears than humans and also had two wolve ears atop their head, they had tails that were swishing around curiously.

One of them spoke.

Kamiya at first couldn't understand but very soon the violent energy within him reacted and he began to understand. "Uh, hello we just got lost."

One of them walked towards Kamiya and the rest stopped staring, it was a man holding a spear. "Lost...hmm that can be possible in this place but it is rare for humans to come here."

Kamiya's guard was up, he didn't really trust these guys. "Because your eat them?."

The man stopped and tilted his head. "Eat humans? Kid we aren't one of the races that worship the fallen gods, you're actually lucky to run into us. Also now that i realise, how are you speaking our language?."

Kamiya smiled awkwardly and came up with something to cover his Authority. "It was a curse from an angel...yeah let's go with that."

The man looked at Kamiya with pity and shook his head. "That's truly bad, poor kid but don't worry if you want you can stay here for a while, even your lover over there can stay even though she is a Hellspawn."

Kamiya's lips twitched, lover? Who?. Nuzres wasn't his lover, he actually doesn't even know what she is to him. "She's not my lo—."

Before he could talk, Nuzres grabbed his arm and smiled warmly. "Can't a Hellspawn find love or do you think the wolf is just hunting a rabbit?."

Kamiya gave Nuzres a dumbfounded look, when exactly did she become his lover? Kamiya was still young and he had more time to find someone he can call a lover, even though Nuzres does not look bad nor does she have any terrible intentions towards him, he still has his preferences.....and Nuzres kinda fit that.

//Damn it that's not the problem, She wouldn't just declare that with no reason at all, something must be wrong here...let's play along for now.//

The man shrugged. "I see but the scent between you two is quite thin, you have not become one yet."

"Excuse me, what does that mean?." Kamiya's expression remained blank as he asked.

The man grinned and something strange began to happen, a thin line appeared on his body, connecting from his head towards his abdomen and with a terribly squelching wet sound, the 'man's' body split in two.

The so called 'man' was not really a man, in fact it did not even resemble a woman, they had an androgynous body and were wearing the same clothes, they both held a spear and smiled at the two, their burning amber eyes stating at them. "The unification of flesh, the joining of two essence into one to create life, isn't that what love is? But you may be unfamiliar to such a thing as this is the only 'pure' emotion left within this world."

Ah, Kamiya really wondered why he hasn't gone insane yet, what love is this?!! This clearly looks like a toxic parasitic relationship on steroids!!!. "...Uhm I don't think that is love though."

The two wolf creatures smiled and both pointed at his and Nuzres's arm which once again felt like they were welded together. "You see, you two have started to experience love but have not yet truly embraced one another."

//....Yeah no this world is getting weirder by the second, I want to go back home now...though no one would care if I went missing...// Thinking about that, Kamiya remembered some terrible memories he would rather keep buried.

It was approximately four years ago in a simple rural house in Tokyo.

Kamiya was twelve at the time and he was playing a game, it was called stare at the wall, his sister would usually tell him to stare at a wall for countless hours.

At that time he would hear countless noises and after some time passes, his sister would tell him to turn around only to find the entire house empty, the television gone, the couches gone, the beds all gone and Kamiya would play another game.

Hide and seek, he would 'seek' his family who 'hid' from him then spent countless tiring hours looking for them all across Tokyo house to house and after days of staying hungry and thirst, he would collapse on th,.e streets and would be found by the authorities.

After that, they would ask him some questions and Kamiya would answer, at the end of the day everyone in the station looked at him with pity, it was found that his family left Japan and went abroad.

At that moment he lost all hope for the concept of familial love.

Fast forward to two years later when he was in the orphanage and gore locked in the basement everytime someone came to adopt a kid, Kamiya lost all hope in Human love.

And then when he turned sixteen which was this year, he was in school and made some friends and he even got a girlfriend but she too dumped him to go be with his Best friend and his so called friends supported their relationship and would argue with him if he was frowning at them.

Kamiya lost hope for the concept of live itself, and at that time he was walking along while staring at his phone thinking about what he should do, unknowingly getting in front of a speeding truck.

Then he found himself in this world, Kamiya does not believe in such things as 'love' as they are merely material feelings, it does not have any worth merely the feeling of happiness while in the comfort of others.

"Sorry, we are not in love." Kamiya flatly said as he separated his hand from hers, he has stopped pretending.

The two tilted their head as if they heard something unspeakable. "How can you say that? You may hurt her feelings, becoming one and creating new life is the ultimate form of love."

Kamiya rubbed his brows, this thing was starting to get annoying. "Okay then, explain what love is because I think our versions are different."

The two smiled brightly at his inquiry. "We would love too." One of them said with bright eyes.

"Love is the unification of two creatures to create new life, it is the surrender of both minds, soul and body towards creating a singular, stable lifeforms, you see everyone in this Village is indeed a new life." The two said while holding each others arms.

Kamiya now understood what this so called live was, it was merely just a fusion between two beings to create a stronger being but their definition also doesn't seem to be simple, it was as if that fused life would have its own fate, life and emotions.

Kamiya's eyes narrowed and then remembered the vision he had, could this 'love' be some kind of way to face the living kingdom Igniers?.

If so...then does this mean he has to learn these guys definition of love?.
