Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang talked with Viera for the next hour. She was rather bubbly all the time, but when she talked about her goal in life, her demeanor started to subtly change.

"Beast defenders are selfish people that are only interested in their own gains," Viera said with a snort.

In her mind, beast defenders were people that wanted to keep all the beasts alive.

"They only want to keep the beasts alive because they are powerful enough to resist the normal beasts. They can kill a Pest Cat. And since beasts are worth a lot of money, they want to keep their method of making money alive. Beast defenders are not thinking about the good of the normal people."

"They are selfish and entitled!" Viera said with some anger.

She had controlled her voice, but Shang could feel a lot of hatred coming from her.

This was something she felt very strongly about.

"And how are people supposed to become more powerful without the beasts' resources?" Shang asked. "Mana Sources are a necessity."

Viera snorted again. "Mages can create Mana Sources artificially. They just don't give these Mana Sources to just anyone since it's expensive."

"They can?" Shang asked in surprise.

Viera nodded. "Of course. Do you think over the last thousands of years, the Mages never tried to create something like Mana Sources? Of course they did!"

"Okay," Shang said. "What about the beasts that don't hunt humans?"

"Doesn't matter," Viera answered. "Beasts can change any second. Some beasts that have been peaceful for their entire lives can suddenly have a change of heart and kill a human. It's not a new concept."

"If we want to protect our children and the weaker people, we have to get rid of all the beasts! There simply isn't any other way!" Viera said.

Shang could feel quite some hatred emanating from Viera.

"Well, if you think so," Shang said, trying to get away from the topic.

"Yes, I think so," Viera said as she crossed her arms. "What do you think about this?"
