Unlike last time in the Rabbit Hole, Killer chose a more aggressive approach this time, taking the skeletons head-on.
Fortunately, equipping the Dagger had already given her a decent base attack stat. Besides, there weren't that many of these weak mobs to bully, so she made short work of them.
What really puzzled her was the enormous stone stele that seemed to stand in the middle of the map.
Why was there a huge stone stele here?
Was she supposed to play a round of Monument Valley?
Whatever the case, Killer carved her way straight to the stele with her Dagger.
As she'd expected, the writing on it wasn't English, which everyone knew, or Chinese, which everyone knew either (meaning the Chinese-localized version of Undertale).
Instead, it was some bizarre, incomprehensible ancient script.
"How the hell am I supposed to read this?"
In a fit of extreme rage, Killer slashed at the stele, only to accidentally hit a switch that needed pressing.
Was this the protagonist's luck? How utterly enviable (deadpan).
BANG!!!
Beep-
"???"
The entire stele lit up and let out a piercing siren.
Woooo-
Woooo-
The sound rang out in every direction, blasting the ears of Killer, who stood closest to it, so hard that she lost HP.
Yet it even affected the skeletons, which had neither ears nor eardrums. They all stopped fighting and stood silently, as though solemnly awaiting something.
"Blood Sacrifice: Fusion will activate in five seconds."
Suddenly, her native language came out of it, giving Killer quite a fright right off the bat.
"Wait, wait, wait... what did you just say?!... Blood sacrifice?!"
With no time to think, Killer frantically used Shortcut over and over, hoping to escape the area.
Unfortunately-
The blood sacrifice's boundaries seemed to have already been set. Any living creature
