985 Words
Alex asking, "Then what does he do next?"
"Hmm, Then it's even worse … He staged a coup against the King and even massacred the entire People in the palace, so that he could finally become the ruler of the Zamundgar Kingdom."
"Hah??" Alex was taken aback.
"But of course the betrayal by Rei-oh and the entire shield race aroused hatred from the entire Kingdom, especially from the sword race side, so there was a civil war in the Kingdom which involved a great feud between the sword race and the shield race... However The battle went unequally, because Rei-oh possessed unparalleled strength, so the sword race had to accept a crushing defeat in the end."
"Ouww." Alex said while looking down.
"So with that, Rei-oh began to rule over the entire Zamundgar Kingdom for many years, while the sword races were expelled and were not allowed to set foot in the Zamundgar Kingdom forever ... That was the beginning of the discrimination against the sword race. And also the beginning of the feud between the sword race and the shield race."
Alex was astonished after learning what had happened to his ancestors, and now Alex also came to know about the root of the entire feud. But Billy's story didn't end there, because he was still going to continue the story which seemed to make Alex will even more astonished.
The story that Billy tell to Alex, about history of the sword race and shield race is still continuing. The beginning of the feud that occurred between the sword race and the shield race turned out to be caused by the betrayal of a shield race leader named Rei-oh. He used a ruse to trap the special human named 'Holy knight', then After Rei-oh managed to kill the Holy knight, he started a coup d'etat and succeeded in taking control of the Zamundgar Kingdom. Since then, under Rei-oh's rule, there was discrimination against the sword race and even Rei-oh also expelled the entire sword race from the Zamundgar Kingdom.
Upon hearing that, while feeling dumbfounded, Alex said.
"After being expelled, where does the Sword Race live?"
"They went far from the territory of the Zamundgar Kingdom, and created settlements in other territories… However, apart from having their pride injured, they have also never had a prosperous life since then."
"That guy named Rei-oh is really outrageous." said Alex.
"Hmm yeah... Then after years of living in despair, the sword race finally started to make very risky and dangerous decisions."
"What's that?"
"They intend to free the Demon King from the relic pagoda, so that they can overthrow the reign of King Rei-oh by using the Demon King's power."
"Hah?!"
The sword races conspired with one of the Kingdom's sorcerer who wanted to betray King Rei-oh. The sorcerer was given the task of stealing the pagoda relic from the palace's storage room. In addition, the sorcerer was also tasked with absorbing a small sample of the Holy Knight's power from Rei-oh's infinity orb, when it's being unguarded. And even though it was a suicide mission, the sorcerer managed to complete his task well, so he could give everything the sword races needed to resurrect the Demon King."
"Then, did they really do that?" Ask Alex.
"Yes, they will completely unseal the Demon King... However there are some people from the sword race side who disagree and oppose the decision, because after all, liberating the Demon King is too dangerous thing to do... And because of that, finally there was a split between them, so the sword race was divided into 2 factions, namely the faction that wanted to resurrect the Demon King, and the faction that opposed the Demon King's resurrection."
"Whoa."
"A battle broke out between the two sword race factions, but in the end the Demon King managed to get out of the Relic Pagoda, even if only for a moment."
"W- what happened next?"
"When the Demon King came out, he had time to sow the seeds of the shadow demons that scattered in all directions, to wreak vengeance on the Demon King who wanted to cause a lot of chaos in the world... But luckily, before things got any worse, 'Koda Lyoto', a leader of the opposing group, bravely fought the Demon King and he managed to reinsert the Demon King into the Relic Pagoda. Then he and his followers went to a far and hidden place to protect the Relic Pagoda from the hands of people with evil intentions."
"Hmm."
"... That was the beginning of the Wind Faction formation, while on the other hand, that was also the beginning of the Sword of Freedom group formation who wished to dominate the Demon King's power and overthrow the government... We all evolve over time. The government ruled by the shield races grew stronger and established, while the sword race groups who wanted to destroy the government continued to change group names, and they also continued to look for new members to spread chaos all over the places. As for us Wind Faction, we remained dedicated to exterminating the shadow demons and guarding the Relic Pagoda.. Even though the Relic Pagoda has now been destroyed by the enemy." Billy said.
"Hmm." Ryuji was silent.
"I- I'm sorry about that." Alex said nervously.
But Billy immediately said. "N- no Alex, I don't mean to blame you, I just want to explain my story completely about What happened ... And because it's already happen, so just let it go." Billy said.
"I- I didn't think that we had such a big history… But why that history isn't told at school?"
"Hmm, maybe it's because the shield race that controls the government doesn't want the dark history to be known, so they created a different version of history, and even made it seem as if the people who dominated this country were ordinary people."
