Chapter 07: Progress

Following that train of thought Kuro then went on to to hunt small groups of fallen while periodically going after angels and devils on patrols on different territories to provoke eachother in war.

While doing this he was getting stronger and day by day he realised just how truly twisted he had become growing increasing violent by each kill but instead of becoming horrified of himself or wanting to not believe it he embraced his new personality and that only amplified by the new powers he gained from all those deaths.

Albeit he was getting stronger slower and slower as time passed on as he was only hunting medium and low class beings he wasnt distraught by this new as he learnt how to effectively control his gift which he now dubbed as the 'Power of Letum' the latin word for ruin or death.

The more the experimented with the power of Letum the more impressed he got with it and his control over it deepened allowing him to do a few interesting things with it, he is particularly fascinated about the ability he created which he called 'Tempus of Letum' which allows him him to chose the death of someone as long as his is strong than them and they way they die.

And while it may seem trivial as he has to be stronger imagine the satisfaction as you can play with peoples lives choosing who to die and how without them fighting back at all as it's set in stone. The desperation as they beg you to stop but you just have them in your palm playing with them and the fear everyone will have not knowing whether or not their death is already premeditated.

As the passage of time continues with his strength reaching the peak of middle class entering high in the Underworld, Heaven and The Fallens respectively there are some smart people who realised what is going on but they are powerless to do anything as if they even voice their opinions they'll get judged by the masses as being weak and possibly killed.

The reason for that being all due the work Kuro has put in causing the already high tensions between the group to near heights meaning that they're just waiting for the higher ups order and they'll march out in a frenzy to wipe eachother out.

The man responsible for this is sat on a fallen tree looking at the sunset the warm rays of the sun shining on his face showing his beautiful features giving him a peaceful and harmless look. But beyond that behind him is a mountain of bodies varying from old to young, man to women of different background their dead eyes and still faces still have that abject look of horror and fear.

Their bodies missing some parts, someone not having any bodies and some hanging like ornaments on trees but they all have something in common a symbol of a dying flower engraved into them courtesy of Kuro wanting to have something to represent him by.

Looking around Kuros once pitch black eyes briefly flash red and inside them were various dark emotions but that main one being insanity. Normally that would drive anyone to irrational thought and just go all out crazy and lose themselves to it, But not Kuro for a while now he wondered why he hasn't lost himself yet, Sure he has got lost in feeling of killing someone but not to the point of no return.

The reason for that being to just let it flow through him and do what he feels like without holding anything aside and having no morals making him feel good and free.

(A few years later)

Running through the forest a group of angels are frantically looking around hoping to get away from the monster chasing them.

(Flashback)

They were meant to look into the deaths of recent patrols when they came across something that even the angels had to call beautiful. It was a man sat on a chair with his legs crossed, leaning on his arm with closed eyes. His skin glittering in the sunlight, his soft blue hair reaching down to his shoulders with two locks of hair hanging on each side.

That plus the atmosphere nearly put the angels into a daze that was until...he opened his eyes. They were so dark and un moving just staring at them as if a piece of flesh not even people and that's when it got even scarier is when they saw a grey tiny energy particle flow towards them.

They dodged out the way but some are not so lucky and they look in horror as their bodies move on their own forcing them to kill their friends making them looking into eachothers eyes.

The rest of the angels caught of guard by the sudden event turn to look at the culprit but find him standing right next to them looking on as they kill eachother. Getting their wits together their about to attack when the angels fighting self destruct damaging them preventing them from attacking and forcing them to flee.

(Present)

As they think they lost him they're about to relax when to their shock they share the same fate as their now dead friends and cant control their bodies but find they can talk.

Looking at his friends who grew up together with teary eyes full of pain and dread he slowly opens his mouth

"Ever-ry one s-sorry, forgive me..." Closing his eyes he doesn't want to witness what's about to happen but Kuro revealing himself from the shadows forces him to look and looks on in interest as he kills his friends will screaming and weeping.

"This is Boring its about time for the war to start now.."
