After a moment of relative stillness since the last time the system responded to Vandread, the earl promptly concentrated his remaining energy into his palm, which was now facing forward to the Ogre that was still making its way forward towards Vandread's direction.
Instantaneously, he shut his eyes as he slowly felt a flow of weak energy traveling through his veins all the way to his palm. This sensation continued until his energy reached its palm.
As soon as Vandread realized that the amount of power in his palm was just barely sufficient to cast a spell, he once again opened his eyes and uttered the word "HALTOS." The spell had an instantaneous effect, causing the ogre's movement to become noticeably slower.
"Now what to do?" Vandread asked the system.
'Recite the incantation that the princess had used upon you.'
