“You got it all planned out, you say? Is that really so?” As Vandread processed the sentinel's most recent comments, he found that he was suddenly unable to contain his laughter, and it erupted from his mouth without him being able to stop it. It reverberated throughout the entirety of the core that it was gradually becoming absurd. Even at first glance, Vandread could tell that the sentinel didn't care how he responded. After that, it became the reason for Vandread to stop his irrelevant laughter when he finally decided to speak to the sentinel once more. “You must be losing it. That’s fine. Things of this nature frequently occur in the lives of the fallen ones. They held onto all of their trump cards until the very end of the game in an attempt to win. Even if it means they have to put their own dignity on the line in order to preserve their damn pride." Vandread said. And yet, the sentinel just smirked at Vandread’s statement. The sentinel then answered, “It wasn’t about pride a
‘Master Vandread, are you hurt?’ Lennox's voice reverberated throughout the core at the precise moment the sentinel was about to impart some crucial information.“Lennox? Is it you?” The question was posed by Vandread right away.which Lennox then answered, ‘‘Yes, master. It’s me.’"Lennox, I want you to take the seal off the mouth of the sentinel. There was something I wished to hear from him. He was cut off just in time for your arrival.”‘I see, master. Nevertheless, I am sorry to have to tell you this, but I simply cannot fulfill your request under any circumstances.' The abrupt manner in which Lennox answered caused Vandread's initial reaction to be one of dissatisfaction. Inexplicably, Lennox's reply left Vandread bewildered. Vandread didn’t want to settle without hearing Lennox's reasons for its answer. And so, Vandread asked, “And why not?”It was only after a few more seconds that Lennox was finally able to respond to Vandread, saying, ‘Because it wasn't even I who did tha
At the precise moment that Vandread was about to begin his assault, Lennox swiftly launched a barrier sphere around Vandread that immediately thwarted his plan. As soon as Lennox was successful in impeding Vandread's progress, Lennox's voice immediately echoed throughout the entirety of the core as it pleaded with Vandread, ‘Master, please, I want you to calm down. I'm sorry, but I can't just stand by and watch you murder the sentinel.’Because of Lennox's interference, Vandread was immediately provoked to rage, as evidenced by the manner in which Vandread responded, "And Why can't I?!” Vandread had a menacing glare that emanated from his eyes. Lennox persisted in giving Vandread an explanation of everything, despite the fact that Vandread was giving off an intimidating vibe. ‘Because if you kill the sentinel, then you might as well forget going back to Dizencia and just replace his post in the dimensional path.’And the realization struck Vandread like a bolt of lightning in the m
Vandread tossed the sentinel as soon as the two of them landed back within the dimensional path. The impact’s sound went through the entirety of the dimensional path and in an instant the rubble sound had slowly dissipated as well.With the force of Vandread’s toss, more blood spilled out from the wounds that the sentinel had previously received from Vandread back inside the system’s core. Only the sentinel knows how excruciating it must have been to actually experience being tormented while having such wounds.However, Vandread wasn’t satisfied to what he was currently seeing. He wanted to torment the sentinel more but at the same time, Vandread was holding himself back from pushing too much enough to kill the sentinel.Vandread could not just afford to murder the sentinel, specially now that the two of them were already inside the dimensional path. And that was when Vandread recalled to redeem his nemesis back. The sentinel tried to adjust his position, but each of his movement wo
“Lennox, show me the progress of the sentinel.” Vandread ordered, as he was beginning to be impatient. In a split second, right after Vandread inquired about the development of the time reversal sphere that Lennox had been working on the sentinel, Lennox instantaneously launched a holographic scale that displayed the percentage of the process that had been completed. “That’s good. Let me know when he’s a quarter close to full recovery.” Vandread reminded Lennox. ‘Yes, Master.’ Lennox answered right away before he shortly cut off the holographic scale. And as the process of reversing time continued, Vandread suddenly reliazed his sword, which had become wedged in the dimensional pathway. “Lennox, where is my nemesis?” Vandread immediately called for the system to help him retrieve the sword before it was completely swallowed by the collision of the dimensional path. However, what Vandread failed to realize was that the collision had already stopped progressing f
The fact that the sentinel was able to restore that much energy was more than enough to give Vandread a perilous attack from behind, which Vandread had not anticipated the sentinel to do. “Bastard!” Vandread responded with a scream as he worked to dislodge the sentinel from his path. When compared to the last time Vandread battled him inside Lennox's core, it appeared that the sentinel had become significantly more powerful than before.Just like he had been inside Lennox's core, the sentinel was not an easy opponent to take down. It was clear from the sentinel's resolve to use his sword to engage Vandread's in battle once more. As soon as Vandread approached, the sentinel swung his sword back at him. And as Vandread blocked it with the nemesis once more, Vandread felt the intensity of the sentinel's force double as it was being blocked. It was exactly the same as how he fought Vandread back when they were in the center of the system. Vandread had the impression that the sentinel’s
Vandread's crimson eyes widened in disbelief as both of his fists curled like a ball out of the surging rage he was trying to hold back. His face contorted into an angry scowl. This was something that he had not planned on happening in the first place, and he was surprised by it."Why didn't you tell me about the pristine breath in the first place, Lennox?" The question was asked in a prompt manner by Vandread. His tone betrayed a hint of anger, which was, however, obscured by the fact that he was grinding his teeth.Lennox had to exercise extreme caution when choosing its words to address Vandread because it had deduced that Vandread was not in the mood to be confronted. ‘Master, forgive me. Since It had appeared only just now, it slip off my data to inform you right away.’It was a response that Vandread had been expecting from Lennox all along. And Vandread eventually slammed his hand against his temple as a reflex. "Had I been aware that there was more to this dimensional path t
The grunting sound that the sentinel made each time he landed on top of Vandread was something that Vandread continued to hear even after the sentinel had stopped jumping on him. Vandread could tell because he was constantly rolling around quickly on the ground to avoid the sentinel's attacks.The sentinel's footfall would destroy the ground it had been standing on, leaving behind a gaping hole. Because Vandread had seen firsthand how even a small movement could result in a significant amount of damage, he knew that he could not risk letting the sentinel strike him in the face without taking precautions. For if that much of the sentinel's weight had even landed on him, he would have been instantly crushed to death the moment it happened. It was insane to believe that the sentinel could move so quickly despite the fact that each of his jumps carried such a significant amount of weight.On the other hand, it wouldn't be fair for Vandread to continue rolling around on the ground in the
