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
He did nothing but stand there motionless as he watched the ogres carry on with their consumption of the meat. After seeing his father's bag lying on the ground, Vandread's fury suddenly came around, and it aggravated him to the point where he went into a rage. Vandread was unable to appear to comprehend the possibility.Vandread's only weapon was the sharpened piece of wood, but the rage he was feeling made him move faster than he normally could. His bravery was much more driven by the desire to slaughter the ogres even though all he had was the sharpened piece of stick in his possession.He did not have any specific plans for how he was going to kill each of the three ogres; rather, what he had in mind was his utmost will to make these abominable creatures pay for what they had done. Vandread wanted them to be severely punished for the fact that they had actually murdered his father and even caused the most inhumane suffering possible by devouring his father's dead body.When he l
"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
It appeared as though storm clouds had descended upon Vandread, as was made abundantly clear by the vicious way in which those crimson eyes darted their gaze on the ogre. The ogre remained motionless on the ground, looking completely helpless.Even though it tried to seize Vandread with its hands on multiple occasions, Vandread managed to evade it each time due to its incredible speed. The ogre wanted to defend itself from the assaults that Vandread was dishing out, but every time it attempted to do so, it was ultimately unsuccessful. It appeared as though Vandread had anticipated the ogre's movements before they occurred. He had already made an estimate as to when the ogre would attack him and when it wouldn't, and everything worked out in Vandread's favor.If things continue as they are, it would appear that Vandread would be the only one who would emerge victorious in the end. Especially considering the fact that the ogre was unable to find any means by which he could regain his p
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
Hitting two birds with one stone.It was something that his father would frequently say to him when he was still alive. Vandread viewed his father as a superhero because of the way he could frequently juggle two responsibilities at the same time. Whatever may have seemed impossible to Vandread's mother would be accomplished by his father in due time. It seemed as though anything could be done with relative ease so long as Vandread's father gave the go-ahead for it.That is, until Vandread discovered his sick father in bed all day. They were down to their last few sticks for the fire, and they didn't even have any food left. Vandread, who was the second man in his family's household, could not fathom the idea of allowing his mother and father to go hungry for any longer.Even though Vandread had only been alive for a few days at the time, he already possessed the characteristics of an adult man to the extent that he was able to perform the challenging chores around the house that wer
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
“Kill me?” When Vandread found out about it from his mother, he was as shocked as if he had been hit by lightning. He had never given any thought to the possibility that someone could harbor a grudge against him that was so great that they would have to resort to murdering him.He couldn't stop asking himself what it was that he'd done wrong for them to have such a strong desire to take his life. Vandread gazed once more into the eyes of his mother, the deepest shade of brown in her eyes confirming that she was not telling any lies. Since that time, she had never once lied to either him or his father, which was one of the reasons why it was so challenging for Vandread to put what his mother told him out of his mind.The way that Vandread looked at his mother gave the impression that he was waiting for her to respond to his question. In spite of this, his mother was unable to even look him in the eyes, which was a source of immense frustration for him. Before Vandread's mother decid
