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
As the two of them fight to the death, the pristine breath also made its move to scatter around and obscured their view. It had slowed their sights but not their instincts as they were still able to sense the presence of the other and continue with their fight.It was a remarkable fight given the way they were unable to see through the darkness and how the pristine breath could also detect their bodies and cleanse them out of the dimensional path any single time.And as Vandread and the sentinel clashed their swords, Vandread was shortly stunned as his sword, nemesis, was able to penetrate through the sentinel’s stomach.After a deep growl, the sentinel pushed Vandread away from him. However, as a result of the action of the sentinel, he was forced to go through excruciating pain after Vandread pulled out his sword from being stabbed into his stomach.The fresh wound on the sentinel gushed rivers worth of blood like a broken dam. It was evident from the way the pain was manifesting it
"Could that be a portal to the realm of Dizencia that I'm looking at right now?" Vandread inquired while giving off the impression that he was waiting for Lennox to respond.However, much to Vandread's surprise, Lennox did not respond in the slightest to his inquiry and he did not even hear a single word from him after that. After that, Vandread came to the conclusion that Lennox was probably being overly sentimental about what Vandread had said earlier. And as a direct result of making such a statement, Lennox eventually began to feel estranged from Vandread.On the other hand, the mere consideration of it was enough to make Vandread want to let out a sigh. Even though Lennox was supposed to be computer generated, Vandread had a hard time believing that even a system like Lennox could eventually feel an emotion in the same way that living creatures like humans do.Even so, in the back of Vandread's mind, he was still attempting to think of other possible explanations for why Lennox
In an instant, shock could be seen radiating from Vandread's eyes, which were a dull crimson color. Especially after he observed how one of his legs was gradually dissolving away. And at that precise moment, he spewed out the words, "What the hell?" The pressure brought on by the strong pull that the hole had back to Dizencia was still in pursuit of taking Vandread out of the dimensional path. On the other hand, Vandread, who was concerned about the condition of his left leg before, was now even more worried about it.Even if the powerful force were to carry him back to Dizencia, it would be impossible for Vandread to simply go back to Dizencia in his current state. He was suddenly struck with the realization that he would be unable to carry out any of his plans once he returned to Dizencia with only one of his legs.“Lennox! I need my foot back!” He gave Lennox his orders right away.Despite this, Vandread's request was something that was a little difficult to fulfill, especially gi
…to retrieve the nemesis.Vandread was under the impression that it was imperative for him to go back and retrieve it, despite the fact that doing so would almost certainly reduce his chances of successfully escaping the dimensional path in its entirety. Nevertheless, he persisted in this line of thinking. It was inevitable that his decision to go after the nemesis would have some bearing on how quickly he could get back to Dizencia.If there was one thing that Vandread failed to take into consideration, it was the fact that returning to the dimensional path in order to retrieve the sword would also mean that he would be at risk of being detected by the pristine breath once more. And if that were to take place, then the next logical step would be for an even more devastating consequence to befall Vandread.However, judging by the expression on his face, it appeared as though self-assurance was the only thing that helped Vandread to succeed in reclaiming the sword. He was confident t
“You shouldn’t trust him—” The sentinel eventually unwrapped his hand and leg from around Vandread, which were both curled around Vandread at the time. The fact that the sentinel would resort to doing that at the very least was the thing that Vandread expected the least. It would have been much simpler for the sentinel to simply take advantage of the opportunity and flee. And yet, all he did was whisper something that would haunt Vandread for the rest of his life. The sentinel resorted in this one action in the belief that it would be enough to bring about Vandread's downfall.The sentinel completely withdrew himself from Vandread, and the next thing that Vandread saw was the sentinel freely tossing himself backwards and falling into the dark depths of the dimensional path.An expression of shock and disbelief spread across Vandread's face. The horror he was witnessing left him physically trembling, and he instinctively reached out to grab the sentinel. Unfortunately, it was alread
Just as Vandread arrived back in Dizencia inside the sphere that Lennox had created, the exact same holographic screen that he had seen back in Lennox’s core appeared in front of his eyes once more.It seemed as though the holographic screen was also a component of the system, as it was the one responsible for confirming Vandread's entry. And the holographic screen eventually vanished after it had completed the verification process for Vandread's identification in a successful manner.‘Master, welcome back to Dizencia.’ Lennox abruptly made a remark right after.Vandread was able to get a good look at the vast landscape of the world that had tricked him in the past as the sphere that contained him floated thro
