Bang!
Bang!
Murder threw a punch, reducing the Gaster-shaped Betty to powder.
"...Ugh!..."
A firefly Betty saw this and looked terrified, as though she was about to flee.
Crack!
Murder appeared above Betty and grabbed her, piercing her with a white bone.
Tap.
Tap.
Whoosh!
The footsteps gradually stopped. Murder turned sideways, dodging the fireball.
"Sans...! Why on earth are you doing this?! Stop attacking, and we can still be friends!!"
Betty passionately spouted her foolish speech, never once letting the flames in her hands die down.
"Are you an idiot? Toriel doesn't even know who I am."
Completely unaffected by Betty's words, Murder sent the old-woman Betty to her doom with a slam dunk.
"...Another one down..."
A thick cloud of dust rose into the air, and the sight restored another piece of Murder's memory.
He remembered what had happened for a while after that.
He had tried again and again.
In the end.
He had tried one final method.
Slaughter.
He had tried slaughtering his friends.
But it had all still ended in failure.
He had reflected on his mistakes and discovered the problem.
He hadn't gained enough LV.
And...
He hadn't killed Papyrus.
The memories stopped there. Murder collected his thoughts and prepared to head toward Waterfall.
Smack.
A somewhat crisp sound rang out, startling Murder.
He looked around, his gaze finally lingering in one direction for a moment.
Then he looked away.
"Oh...That scared me."
E!Insanity had used those codes to conceal herself in the illusion's air. For that brief instant, she had thought she'd been discovered.
She had only rested her hand on Murder's shoulder for a little while to see how he would react.
But the way he'd acted...It was almost as though he knew she was there.
E!Insanity shrugged and continued following Murder.
