168 The Origin of Half-beasts (1/2)

”As far as I heard the great war of this continent wasn't an internal war like rumors say. It was just the opposite; all the continent battled together against invaders from other continents and other worlds.”

Sebe had just started to explain, but besides Yale everyone was dumbfounded, they had heard about the existence of other continents, but that was the first time they heard about other worlds.

”Are you serious? There are really other worlds?”

The guy with the rhinoceros bloodline was the one who broke the silence, he had an adventurer spirit, and he already had a lot of interest in other continents, so there was no way he didn't develop an interest in other worlds.

”Other worlds exist, but for us going there is impossible. Usually reaching Rank 8 is the minimum for being able to go, and going to other worlds alone being at that rank is still too dangerous, to have some chances to survive is better to have reached Rank 9. You can always ask someone at that rank to carry you to other worlds, but if you leave that person's side, your death is almost guaranteed.”

It was usual that invaders were killed, a weak fellow into another world had all the chances to end dead and soul-searched giving information about his own world to the other party.

After hearing Sebe's words, his friends didn't dare to have thoughts about going to other worlds.

”You should also know that the people in different continents and world also had different appearances, you can find some with the same looks like you by coincidence, but that is difficult. The invaders of our continent looked very different from the original inhabitants.”

Those differences were the principal fact for people hating others from different continents or worlds; it was pretty similar to the problems among half-beasts and humans.

”But we are different from humans, and there is a lot of half-beast with a different aspect. Maybe we are descendants of the invaders? Or the humans were the ones who invaded us.”

That time it was the girl with cat ears who spoke, she was an absolute hater of humans who considered herself a superior being compared to them.

”Wrong, neither half-beasts or humans are descendants of the invaders.”

Sebe was starting to think that maybe his friends wouldn't be able to understand the truth about the war and the invasion with their biased minds.

”Then, we were allied with the humans?”

That time it was a guy with extremely large incisive teeth who spoke, he also was someone who hated humans.

”The whole continent was united against the invaders there is no doubt about that. Now, please, let me continue the history, you will understand everything if you continue paying attention.”

Although Sebe didn't mind replying to some questions, the questions that would be easily understood in the story were just losing time.

”It seems that in that time, there wasn't any country on the continent, it was just formed by independent cities. However, the ones who truly ruled were experts, those extremely powerful; I heard that my father would just barely qualify to be in that group with his current strength.”

Sebe's friends weren't surprised that the experts ruled, that was normal in their eyes even if there wasn't a formal country, but they were shocked by the fact their king, the most powerful existence in the whole Anpaes Kingdom would just barely qualify to be someone of that group.

”The day the invasion began, all those experts gathered together and led the continent inhabitants to a war in order to protect our continent. Those who attacked didn't have any resemblance to humans, so they were seen as monsters and an inferior species. However, the same happened in the opposite; the invaders considered the people on the continent inferior beings.”

Everyone was puzzled by the fact Sebe had only mentioned that they were different than humans and didn't mention half-beasts or say inhabitants of the continent to refer to everyone.

”What about us? There was some invader similar to us?”

The cat girl wasn't against considering humans inferior beings, so if the invaders just disliked humans, they weren't that bad.

”There were invaders similar to half-beasts, but they were more similar to half-beasts with bad bloodlines than to us. However, when the war started, half-beasts didn't exist on this continent.”

That wasn't the answer his friends were expecting; they were completely shocked. Sebe sighed, he knew that the next part would be even more difficult to believe, he himself still had difficulties to believe it.
