The Son of God

The formation of Little Star

That night after I had killed all the bandits, I approached a stable that was on top of a horse-drawn carriage and covered with cloth.

I thought it was money, I was wrong. Wait what if it contains something valuable. Without hesitation I immediately lifted the cloth that was blocking him.

“This... beyond belief.”.

I was at a loss to explain it, which must have been a corpse. I can smell the stench from him.

Looking at it in a glance, I can tell it is not human and I do not know its gender or age.

It doesn't look like a normal corpse. I found a lot of cuts and bruises, even his face was smashed like it was hit by an iron.

I don't know what made him this way but he definitely got bad treatment.

He might be sold to someone but which fool would buy a corpse. Well, who cares. But if I sell it maybe I will get a lot of money. But it's meaningless because I have no connection to a fool interested in a corpse.

Well, as a knight of darkness, I wanted to test my strength and he seemed to be a guinea pig.

“Alright, we start.”

I smashed the padlock that locked the cage with the sword sheathed with mana.

I gathered the dark magic in my palm and charged at the corpse. Little by little his wounds disappeared and his broken face was re-formed.

Looks like the experiment worked.

All my experiments on corpses went well. Well, previously also spent time experimenting with the attributes of lightning and fire. I always try my little experiments, test this and that. To be honest, it was fun.

After all, one of my joys in life is that I use the darkness attribute well and my strength is getting stronger before my eyes. I pushed forward, my magic power towards the limit, until I finally found .. an elf blonde girl in front of me.

I guess my magic power increased again so that I could revive the corpse and heal it. I guess not only that, I also felt a lot of mana. Maybe almost half of which is mine.

I try to go and say a light goodbye. But he held me.

“A-I. I don't know how to thank you, but I'll devote my whole life to returning this favor..!”.

“Don't, you don't have to be that serious.”

I considered throwing it away before things became annoying, but I ended up making it as a subordinate to the dark knight. He didn't look like he was going to be the type to betray me, and he looked smart.

And even though she was also seven years old, she was more than enough evidence that elves progressed faster mentally than humans.

“Alright, from today your name is Gisella.”

“Understanding.” Answer with a nod.

As expected of an elf, she was extremely beautiful with blonde hair and green eyes as well as white skin.

“You will be my subordinate, our duty is..” I paused for a moment to think.

It's critical. Being an assistant to the dark knight was not an easy matter. For strength I guess I can train it, the more important thing is what should I say? The knight's destination in the fairy tale ⟨The Legend of Dark Knight⟩ the protagonist always hunts people who are related to his father. But this is my story which means I have to determine the goal of becoming a knight of darkness.

“Hidden and fighting evil creatures that come from another dimension.”

“Bad creatures...?”

“Yes, they are existences that shouldn't exist and try to mess up the world for their own pleasure.”

“Oh yes. Aren't they just myths?”

“The gods fought against this evil creature and defeated it. However, the gods do not know that they are trying to rise again and take revenge.”

It's just a fairy tale where evil creatures don't exist, but considering I met old man Zeus, I feel confident that myths and fairy tales are real. Gisella listened to me seriously.

“Right now I don't know which evil creature I'm fighting and because the magic energy is very faint. And you have magic energy that is the opposite of the enemy.”

She was terrified when I said 'you have the opposite magic energy'. But that's the truth, I don't know what the connection is but I think he has something special.

“T-But I don't know anything and..”.

She's confused. I know he's lost the memory he should have remembered something like his name. I started to make a hypothesis in my mind and put it out.

“You may be a very dangerous existence to him and he has you seriously injured enough and erased your memory for his plan to go smoothly. Not only that I think there's still the same existence as you out there.”

“Ngh...! Not forgiven!

“Therefore, I am gathering information in order to stop his plan and the world will be saved.”

Gisella who was upset in her heart made a funny expression. I continued my words.

“I suspect the enemy is very strong because they pull the rope from behind the scenes. Which means our enemy holds a position of power... And people under their control do not know the truth.”.

I nodded seriously while saying. “Our journey may be dangerous, but we must go on. Do you agree?”

“If that is what you want, then I will devote my life to it. We will punish sinners who side with evil creatures.” Gisella looked at me with her sharp green eyes and a defiant smile. Her face was beautiful even in her youth and was full of intention and determination.

I am very happy in my heart because there are beautiful elves who will help me.

Obviously, the evil beings were still unknown but sooner or later they must have come. I was so happy that I wanted to hug her but I held her back. I am really excited.

Okay. I almost forgot the important part. Name of this organization...

“We are Little Star... We are the knights of darkness who rule the night.”.

“Little Star's. That's a beautiful name.” I knew.

This was the moment Little Star was born.

“I think we can start by using our magic and practice fighting each other. We must become stronger to fight in battle.”

“I know. We have a powerful enemy in our hands. I have to raise the standard for myself.”

“Good. That's new spirit.”

“And we must find existences like me and protect them.”

“Ah, erm, yes.”

To be honest it would be cool to have a lot of people helping out, because that makes it feel more like a legitimate organization.

“Alright, for now, let's focus on becoming stronger.” My advice, prepare a wooden sword to use.

I dodged Gisella's attack gracefully, which had an unexpected attack. To think he's just a rookie until recently. Gisella has good feelings and a lot of magical energy, which means I can make good use of her.

He has many of the same attributes as me. He could use the attributes of fire, lightning and light.

Under the moonlight, I thought that Gisella had other hidden powers.
