Ye Yu wove through the barrage, steadily closing in on Undyne.
Seeing Ye Yu enter her greatsword's reach, Undyne immediately swung Laevatein at him.
Ye Yu had anticipated this move. A light leap carried him clear of Laevatein.
Now!
Ye Yu couldn't dodge while he was in midair!
Laevatein abruptly changed direction in Undyne's hands, slashing toward the airborne Ye Yu.
But Ye Yu had long since mastered the use of determination. It solidified beneath his feet, and he lightly pushed off the air, hurtling toward Undyne at incredible speed.
Undyne knew she had lost in the end, but at least she had beaten the guy before her more than forty times. At that thought, she flashed her signature radiant smile and decided to face death without fear.
Ye Yu brought his knife down.
HP -9999999
I didn't feel anything?
Undyne opened her eyes in confusion, only to find Monster Kid standing in front of her!
Undyne had never imagined this sight. She froze on the spot. "You... how..."
"Un... dyne..." Monster Kid gritted his teeth, clearly in terrible pain. "Run... he told me... you're the only... monster... with determination... so... you... have to live..."
As he spoke, a rift suddenly opened behind Undyne, teleporting her somewhere else in the Royal Capital.
"Hahaha..." Monster Kid's body flickered as though his data were glitching. "I... saw... someone... who looked a lot like me... earlier... after... meeting him... I don't know why... but I seemed... to become... different..."
Ye Yu slashed at him again, but the blade passed straight through Monster Kid's body as though it had struck nothing.
"After that... I seemed... to know a lot of things..." Monster Kid continued. "Then I came here... because you... have... to be... stopped..."
As he spoke, Monster Kid's body kept flickering. In an instant, his skin turned gray, and the pupils of both his eyes vanished, emitting an eerie white glow...
At that moment, he was no longer Monster Kid, but the legendary-"Dead Monster Kid."
Dead Monster Kid, one of Gaster's followers. His abilities were unknown, but he seemed to possess a profound understanding of death.
"..."
He simply stood there in silence, yet Ye Yu felt an immense pressure.
[More than one monster]
The Subsystem's notification suddenly appeared.
Just then, Gaster's other three followers stepped out from behind Monster Kid.
"Doctor Gaster told us you would slaughter every monster underground... he told us to take shelter... but... in the end, we all came here instead," said an enormous follower who was nothing but a head.
"We have no desire to protect the Monster Kingdom... we simply refuse to let an ill-mannered brute like you destroy the Doctor's experimental environment," said another follower, holding a strange popsicle.
"Please leave this world. This is not a place for you to run amok." The remaining follower, who had a large head and a small body, slowly closed his eerily glowing eyes.
All four followers shimmered with an eerie light. "We inhabit these four bodies... here... we will... utterly destroy you!"
A strange light shone on Ye Yu.
Max HP -6 Current HP [50/50(56)]
The Subsystem felt it couldn't take this anymore. Why had their method of attack changed again? Couldn't these monsters just stick to attacking with their magic?! First physical attacks, then determination attacks, and now even data attacks!
[Sigh, it looks like this is all I can do for you... these four are anomalous entities. I'll expend my power to strengthen the Erasure Knife in your hand. Once my power runs out, I'll fall dormant.]
Ye Yu nodded lightly, and the system panel vanished from his sight.
Power gathered in his knife. At that moment, the once-unstable blade became steady.
The four followers fired barrages at Ye Yu without pause, sending dense swarms of digitized attacks flying toward him.
Yet through death after death, Ye Yu had already learned to dodge barrages with ease. None of this posed any challenge to him.
He nimbly wove between the beams and orbs of light. With a swing of his knife, an invisible slash shot out and struck all four followers.
The four followers wore expressions of disbelief as they flickered and vanished. In the blink of an eye, the four possessed monsters returned to their original forms.
Now they were nothing but free EXP.
Before they could react, Ye Yu had already rushed up to them...
[You won] [Gained 3600 EXP and 576 G] [Your LOVE increased to 12]
A red gleam flashed through Ye Yu's eyes. He seemed to have intended to do something earlier, but he had already forgotten. All he knew was that his purpose was slaughter. It always had been.
