In the cathedral of the pope one could spot an individual siting right outside, waiting for something. This was Noah and what he was waiting for was his awaking, It was time for the demon king to be born. During the past 6 years, he had learned a lot about his ability which has made him an amazing wielder of light and by shear mana alone he has reached S rank the most people of this time could reach. However he could not use all of the mana he had which made him B rank, however that still kept him as one of the most talented of this age.
However he kept waiting for the time that he would awaken that he would feel the power and abilities that he once had. As time passed he became more merciful and his hatred towards the humans has dulled. He waited out in the dark and he could feel the power brimming inside him as black lines began to cover his body.
The lines slowly began covering his body more as shadows began appearing all around them but once again a light emitted out of his body and the shadows began retreating once again for the 30th time his awaking had failed.' What do I do, Why am I not awaking, why is my demon form being rejected. Good thing. It's a good thing.' {" GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD, you're changing me, you're changing how I think" Noah then turned around used his light magic and brought himself back into his room.
The next day he woke up and decided he needed some fresh air to distract himself from everything that has happened and the fact that he hasn't awakened.
He exited the cathedral and began walking around the city searching for different stuff he would do once he became demon king again. ' first I would need to sow some discourse in this city. Protect civilians. Yeah I would make sure the conflict between the pope and the emperor settle down.' He then walks around the city and continues going until a little girl bumped into him.
He looks down at her and simply smiles. The girl does the same and continues running away until he looks down and sees that the money he has is missing. ' foolish little girl'. His eyes begin glowing gold as he uses the light to see everything around him and to check the area for where the girl could be. He then spots the girl entering a run down cabin.
He uses the light to appear right where the girl is and with a smirk he says " hi girl" " ahhhh, a ghost it's a ghost" all the children in that cabin begin screaming. " calm down I'm no ghost I'm the saint and I would really appreciate it if you could give me my money". " No this is ours we need it more" ' .let them keep it. Nope won't do that I might have gotten softer but that doesn't mean I'll be merciful to humans'
Noah then summoned a small hand of light that took the pouch from the girl and gave it back to Noah. " so then kid one more thing why are you living out here tell me your story" the girl then looked back at him with sad eyes and said" no you'll hate us" " don't worry and just tell me". The girl then looked at him brought out her pinky and said " promise". " yes". " we are all children of the dark star. Long ago the light beat the darkness but in order to survive the darkness cast a black star on people and so anyone with that star is able to summon it."
" hahhahhah, funny stop kidding child" " I'm not here look " the child then pulled a peace of here fabric down so Noah could see the dark star and the second he saw it he recognized it. ' This is the curse, then that means she's a descendant of the ones who did that' Instantly the man who looked at them kindly had changed his eyes glew from light and his rage and sorrow took over.
'They're just kids I can't kill them, I can't" he then turned around and gave them a platinum coin " enjoy it" he walked out of the hut but right as he did that he fell to the floor. His heart was aching the darkness within him was screaming in anger. It was burning with the desire for revenge. He was awaking right there in the middle of day.
Seeing the dark star had ignited the anger within his heart forcing him to awaken right there in broad daylight. He could still use his light so he began using the light to move at incredible speed. He began shifting through the forest and moving and running far from everything and everyone, he was moving away from all this.
The darkness within him was ragin as he remembered everything those humans had done to him and his family. As he remembered his vow to never forgive that he had broke and as he remembered everyone who died and what they had done to the children.
" AHHHHAHFGH' The shadows emerged from all around them and soon even the entire firest was covered by darkness. AS he began to scream all the animals and lower class monsters began running away scared by his presence. Soon there was not a single ounce of light left in the forest and if not for him controlling himself the entire kingdom would be covered in pure and absolute darkness.
The black lines on his body began to grow and eventually they covered his hair and then his entire body in a pure black goo. The demon king was awakening and this time the rage grew within him which allowed the darkness to grow and manifest and seep out of him.
First wings sprouted out of his body as his skin became paler and his hair became darker. The massive horns began sprouting from his head and pretty soon his transformation was complete. He looked just as he had in the past and he was angry. While being the saint controlled his anger and prevented it from spiralling out of control, being the demon king did the opposite and soon he erupted with anger.
" LUCIOUS I WILL FIND YOUR SOUL AND YOUR SIGIL AND EVERYTHING THAT IS YOUR AND BURN IT ALL DOWN AND I PROMISE YOU THIS I WILL BUTCHER EVERYTHING THAT IS YOURS INCLUDING THIS FALSE CULT. I WILL KILL THE CHILDREN OF THE DARK STAR AND FULFIL MY VOW"
The demon king was burning with anger which just intensified the darkness that was brewing. Luckily noah had predicted this and had made a barrier that would keep the darkness inside the forest preventing anyone from sensing his immense darkness. The demon king vindicta began controlling the darkness around him and bringing it all back into his body.
This would be the only way for him to leave the forest and do what must be done he would kill the children and he would do other stuff to make sure his plans succeed. ' in order to bring true chaos to this world and this kingdom I need to intensify the conflict in this kingdom which means I need to kill the crown prince who is neutral. This would make his son who was described as a heretic the next heir which would plunge the realm in war once the emperor died. I also need to find out who the other mystics are before they become a problem'
He had calmed down and the darkness had all been brought back into his body as the demon had now prepared to leave the forest and eliminate the dark star children. He walked out of the forest and began flying towards a certain hut he reached it and he entered. The kids were all waken uo by the commotion of him entering and the child he had talked to earlier had woken up.
" we aren't monsters I promise you we won't summon the darkness" this seemed to be a regular occurrence as the girl was used to pleading like this but when she opened her eyes what she saw was a demon."
" wow so pretty, mister how are you so handsome" while the saint was incredibly attractive the demon king had looks that could entice the coldest goddesses. The demon king simply smirked at the appreciation and he pushed his hand through the girls chest. " blame your ancestors" he summoned the shadows and they dragged the rest of the kids to the underworld giving them all a painless death.
