Series Synopsis
I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.
The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs is one of the three largest religions on this continent.
As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.
To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.
“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”
I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.
However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human trashes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”
Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

Unbeatable
Neo, you are really very strong... But 'we' are unbeatable.
Part 1: Prologue
“You are really strong, Neo…”
“Then why are you so worried about me?”
Neo Sun looked at his colleague of thirty years, Chasel Judgment. He was the person who ought to know Neo best.
That was why he couldn’t really understand why Chasel had stopped him just as they were about to leave the Holy Temple, after handing over the reins to the next generation of the Twelve Holy Knights. After asking where he wanted to go, Chasel’s face had very clearly become worried.
Worried? But all Neo wanted to do was go around adventuring! With his strength, what was there to be worried about?
Seeing Neo’s slightly impatient expression, Chasel sighed and said, “At least promise me that you will find a companion for your adventuring.”
“I don’t need a companion,” Neo answered confidently. I can deal with all kinds of danger, and even if I can’t, having a companion would be useless as that person would even hinder my escape. So why should I find one?
This is what I’m most worried about, thought Chasel.
Chasel said tactfully, “Why don’t I go with you to the Adventurers’ Guild in the city to help you search for a party?”
“There’s no need for that!” Neo rolled his eyes and snapped unhappily, “I don’t want to be in a party, it’s annoying as hell! Okay, don’t say any more. I’m going adventuring now, and will come back to see everyone when I have the time.”
“Wait, Neo…”
“Don’t say any more, I’m leaving.” Neo shot Chasel a glare out of the corner of his eye. With absolute confidence, he said, “And you can’t stop me.”
The moment he heard that, Chasel was outraged. He was worried about him, yet this guy still spoke to him in such a tone!
“Then leave! I hope that the God of Light will bless this journey of yours.”
On hearing Chasel’s icy voice, Neo glanced at his companion’s face. As expected, his expression was extremely grim. It seemed that Chasel was a little angry, but his anger was nothing to be afraid of. Also, Neo was leaving soon, so why should he care about what Chasel thought?
“Bye bye!”
After that, he left without looking back.
Chasel frowned slightly as he watched Neo’s fading figure. He still felt extremely uneasy. At that moment, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the corner of a robe with many golden patterns sewn onto it. Besides the Pope, no one else in the Church of the God of Light would wear such robes.
The Pope walked a few steps forward and stood next to Chasel in the doorway of the Holy Temple. He looked out at the distant Neo, and said, “Why are you so worried? Even if Neo is no longer favored by the God of Light, he is still inhumanly strong.”
“But Neo…”
Chasel sighed and said gloomily, “Can’t cook, can’t wash his own clothes and never mind reading a map, he can’t even differentiate between directions. Also, he doesn’t even know that ‘tree branches can be used to start a fire!’ It could be said that he doesn’t know anything besides swordplay. In addition, he has never saved much money and doesn’t have much cash with him. What’s worse is that he’s not even sure how much most things cost! Still, he wants to go adventuring alone and live by himself… Can he really survive like that?”
The Pope looked at the steadily shrinking back of the holy knight in the distance, and revealed the exact same expression of worry as Chasel. He shook his head and sighed as he said, “You’re right, Chasel. You’ve been right for thirty years. Neo has indeed always been a person that causes others to worry about him.”
“He has even raised a Sun Knight that is equally worrying.”
Chasel sighed and thought about the new Sun Knight’s unique personality… Hopefully Lesus can handle him.
“Teacher, Teacher!”
Suddenly hearing a voice behind him, Chasel turned around. He saw two people, one in front of the other, jogging toward him. The movements of the person in front were very graceful, even though he was jogging. Even his head of golden hair bounced rhythmically like dancing musical notes. He looked… extremely annoying!
This extremely annoying-looking person was Neo’s successor, the recently promoted Sun Knight, Grisia Sun.
Could the ability to raise such a child actually be a type of talent? Chasel really couldn’t understand what kind of insanity had led Neo to raise his successor into the Sun Knight most like the legends!
After all, in order to raise such a child, he had to make an example of himself. As long as it was a situation in which Grisia was present, he had to be especially elegant. In the end, he unconsciously became remarkably elegant… Was this what they called “when one harms others, one harms oneself”?
Chasel was not very sure what to say about this. Then again, over the past thirty years, Neo often did things that harmed everybody, including himself.
While Chasel was musing, Grisia and his vice-captain had jogged up to him and were saluting him respectfully.
Chasel returned the salute while chiding, “Your teacher has already left. From now onward, you have to depend upon yourself. Even if you run into difficulties, you can no longer rely on your teacher. Understood?”
Grisia was silent for a moment. He then smiled brilliantly and said in a sincere tone, “Former Knight-Captain Judgment, today, we can see just how much the God of Light blesses the people as he bathes us in sunlight. My teacher has begun his adventure in the most perfect manner, but I wonder if because of a beautiful mistake of the God of Light, my teacher has forgotten something very minor. This thing may be unimportant, but as my teacher has always taught me, we must not ignore doing a good deed, no matter how insignificant it is, as we must also never do a bad deed even when the consequences are trivial. Althou
Chasel turned around expressionlessly and looked at the current vice-captain of the Sun Knight Platoon, Adair. The latter immediately understood and began explaining automatically, “Knight-Captain Sun– No! The former Knight-Captain Sun has forgotten to take his luggage.”
“… After him.”
Part 2: Dark Elf – Aldrizzt
Neo sprinted all the way out of the city. Being a holy knight, which was the class with the greatest endurance, he did not need to stop to rest at all, so he ran late into the night. He was already quite a distance away from the city and had entered the forest a long time ago, but he continued sprinting, stopping only when he saw a lake.
He had stopped running not because he was tired, but because the reflection of moonlight off the clear surface of the lake stirred his interest in taking a bath.
After taking off his sweat-soaked clothes and throwing them on the ground, he jumped into the lake eagerly. Although it was a summer night, the water in the forest lake was cool. It was a little cold when he first entered the water, but it felt extremely comfortable after a while.
Neo swam in the lake for quite some time before leisurely leaning against the bank of the lake and admiring the starry summer night sky. He then felt a little hungry, so he decided to head ashore. He was just about to search for clean clothes to wear when he noticed the very empty shore…
“Eh? Where’s my luggage?”
He looked left and right but did not see his luggage. Neo finally remembered that all he took with him when he left was a packet of dried rations he had taken from the kitchens. He did not bring anything else along, so of course he would not have any luggage.
In a situation where he had no clean clothes to change into, he had no choice but to pick up the clothes he had tossed aside. The clothes reeked of sweat, and because he had carelessly dumped them on the ground, they were now covered in dirt as well.
I have to wear this stuff again? Neo made an expression of complete disgust. But no matter how disgusting and smelly the clothes were, wearing them was better than running around naked.
With one foot already on the bank, he had just decided to climb ashore and wear his clothes when he heard some sounds nearby. There was the rustling of tree leaves, the clash of metal on metal, and even the shouting of people. Combining the various sounds together, it seems like… a fight is taking place?
Neo raised an eyebrow and put his dirty clothes down. Instead, he picked up his sword and slid back into the water.
Perhaps some people are here to ”give” me clothes. Even if their clothes are too smelly to wear, at least they will have some “luggage,” right?
Thinking about this put Neo in a good mood, so he took things easy as he watched the developing situation.
The sound of rustling leaves was growing louder and louder. A second later, a human dashed out from between the trees in the thicket… Wait, that’s not a “human.”
Neo’s eyes widened slightly.
The person actually had a head of pure white hair, a color which was very different from the ashy white hair of an old man. The person’s long hair was as white as snow and it looked natural, unlike the graying hair of an aging person.
In the next second, he immediately noticed an even more prominent feature. The person’s skin was a color that was nearly black!
White hair and black skin, only one race in the world has those features.
Dark elves.
The person appeared to have seen Neo, but he obviously did not have enough time to pay attention to a human in a lake. He immediately turned around and walked backward while firing off several magic spells.
The magic spells looked like huge blades, but they were half transparent. As each spell shot past a tree, a slash mark immediately appeared on the tree trunks and the trees split into half where they had been slashed, like they were cut by a real blade.
Is that Wind Blade? That didn’t seem quite right, since Wind Blade was transparent and colorless, but the wind blades before him were slightly black in color.
Is it a dark elemental attack that imitates Wind Blade? Then I shall call it Dark Blade! Neo raised an eyebrow. Although he was a knight, he was not unfamiliar with the magic spell, Wind Blade… His student Grisia often used this magic spell as a fan, and the person he fanned with this spell was, with 80-90% probability, Neo himself.
Of course, the power used for fanning purposes was much weaker, so weak it could not even cut a strand of hair.
After firing the spells, the dark elf did not relax. He constantly shifted his feet lightly, and every time he moved a step, a small arrow would pierce the ground where he had been standing.
Hmm… This dark elf knows how to use powerful magic spells, so he should be a mage, but his physical skills are not bad at all! At that moment, as Neo was leaning on the bank of the lake, relishing the show, an arrow happened to fly straight toward him. He caught it easily and opened his hand to take a closer look. The arrow was small but well-made. It was only as long as his palm, but the workmanship was extremely good — the arrowhead was very sharp and the fletching had been specially crafted.
“Be careful, the arrow is poisoned!” The dark elf suddenly turned around to shout.
The dark elf actually gave me a warning?
Neo felt that this was a little weird because dark elves were not a kindhearted race. In truth, they were a notorious race. All dark elves, from grown adults to young children, and from men to women, were without exception, evil and despicable.
But it turned out that the dark elf hadn’t lied. At that moment, Neo discovered that even though he had only touched the arrow shaft, his finger was already beginning to turn purple.
He praised silently, What amazing toxicity! After that, he cast some holy light and expelled the poison. Although he had lost the favor of the God of Light, something as minor as removing poison was no problem at all.
“The antidote!”
The dark elf suddenly ran toward him and threw a small bottle to Neo. He then spun around again to face the unknown enemies in the thicket.
Right after he turned around, he let out a muffled groan.
Neo glanced at him and saw that an arrow had pierced the dark elf’s arm. Also, the dark elf had no time to pull out the arrow, as he had to retreat a few steps in order to dodge the volley of arrows that came next.
Suddenly — possibly because they had used up all their arrows, or because they saw that the dark elf had been shot — the hidden enemies in the bushes walked out… What? They’re also dark elves!
There are about four… no, five of them? Three were holding extremely small crossbows and the other two wielded rapiers, which suggested they belonged to warrior-related professions.
“Seems like my adventure is not bad at all! Right at its beginning I’ve met dark elves, which are extremely rare creatures. I have never heard of anyone else seeing dark elves for the past hundred years, yet the moment I meet them, I meet a large group!” Neo watched with great delight. He felt a little hungry, so he grabbed the bag of dried rations and started nibbling on them.
However, it seemed that the unusual dark elf no longer had any hope of escaping death. Not only was he poisoned, he was also alone. In addition, he was a mage with a frail body.
No matter how I think about it, he’s dead for sure! Moreover, he looks like he’s completely taking a one-sided beating and merely trying to delay his time of death.
The two warriors raised their rapiers and stepped out of the bushes. Although they still assumed a vigilant stance, they were smiling as if their plan had already succeeded and they were going to easily catch the mage in the next second…
The two dark elves took one step together, but a second later, those “two” had become “many pieces.”
Oh? Neo squinted and looked carefully at the flesh and blood flying everywhere. The cuts were very clean, he hadn’t seen what kind of attack it was, and the flesh and blood flew really high and far… Was it Dark Blade?
