His eyes were hardly convinced by what he saw. He wondered why on earth his father would venture into the depths of the ogre’s lair when all of them knew that it was risky for him to enter that, not to mention that there was an ogre that was around the area.“Father!” Vandread yelled.He was forced to climb down and return for his father since his father didn’t seem to hear him scream. But to Vandread’s wonder, however, his father was nowhere in the area already. He felt mystified that his father was able to run from him immediately.Vandread was left with no choice but to really return to the ogre’s lair. There couldn’t be any other place for his father to go other than that. Certainly, Vandread believed that the reason his father went in was because he was perhaps rescuing Vandread from the risk of getting caught by the ogres.The image of his father risking his life appeared in Vandread’s head, and he couldn’t just stand back without doing anything for his father. He may be complet

"Father, please...please tell me that you are indeed still alive." The words came out of Vandread's mouth almost instantaneously, just in time as tears were also beginning to form in the outer corners of his eyes. The agony and pain that he had been experiencing earlier were now replaced with a feeling of yearning, and he was also relieved to see his father whole and unharmed again. However, he was still hampered by the nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that everything he was seeing at this very moment could still be part of his hallucinations.His father's response, which was something along the lines of, "I am son," put an end to any remaining uncertainties that he had. He then added, “I was able to get away from them before they even had a chance to catch me." After that, he pulled Vandread into his arms and wrapped it around him in a manner that was very tight.This was the one and only occasion in his entire life on which his father ever felt such intense fear. The thou

The tide had turned in the ogre's favor, and he now had the upper hand. Especially now that Vandread was fleeing from the ogre as quickly as he could. However, much to his chagrin, he was unable to come up with any strategies that would allow him to eventually turn things around. There are a couple of different courses of action that Vandread has been considering right up until this very second. The first strategy would be to retreat into the woods and ambush the opponent there. Because of the trees that were all around, the ogre wouldn't be able to jump at that point in time anymore. Despite this, the only thing that could be a problem with that option would be the amount of time. At this rate, Vandread was moving considerably more slowly than he had been earlier. If he decided to go with that alternative, the realization of his goal would either be possible or impossible, depending on how he moved. The second strategy would consist of assaulting the ogre head on. When the ogre t

But rather than receiving a reprimand from his mother, as Vandread had anticipated would happen next, he received the complete opposite response.“What happened, Vandread? Why are you blaming yourself, son?” his mother asked instead.Vandread found it unbearably difficult to look directly into the eyes of his mother, but he was forced to do so. Indeed, it was because of his actions that his father had passed away. He was the reason he would never see his father again.He should have stopped the ogre earlier, before it could have killed his father, if he'd known he was capable of such strength. But that wasn't what had happened at all; instead, he had just stood there and watched as the ogre slowly devoured his father to death.Vandread detested himself for being responsible for what had taken place. If only there was a way for him to turn back time, he would go back to that moment and do whatever it took to save his father. He would do this no matter what. But it was too late for him

The name of Dizencia's capital appeared in Vandread's ears for the very first time at this moment. His parents were not the type to share information with him about the world beyond their front door. Despite this, Vandread was continually intrigued by the prospect of gaining new knowledge.The first thing that took place was that Vandread and his mother made their way to the boat that would take them to the port where the ship was. Once they were there, the next thing that took place was that they boarded the ship. It took some time for them to get to the boat, and during that time, Vandread was completely mesmerized by the extraordinary sights that he was taking in through his eyes.His mother asked him abruptly as she found him suddenly getting his eyes to wander around the boat, "You seemed to be fascinated by the things that your eyes were seeing, son," as she found him suddenly getting his eyes to wander around the boat.Because it was impossible to stop it from happening, Vandre
