Aidan kept her eyes tightly shut.

The expected scenario of being pierced through by a knife did not occur; instead, something was stuffed into his hand.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the small knife in his hand.

Aidan looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, but was surprised to find that Frisk was actually giving her an extremely kind smile.

"Yes, I did treat them as NPCs and everything as a game..."

But you are different.

From the very beginning of the game, you genuinely considered each and every one of them as your best friend.

You will listen to them word by word, and you will cry to them, complain to them, and share your joy with them.

And all of this is from your heart, your most genuine action.

Frisk gently embraced Aidan.

"Your kindness towards the monsters is the way to defeat me. You... have passed my test..."

As for this knife, which belongs to the slaughter category and can kill everything, I will give it to you.

"Now, you will gain the full power of this ability... Use it to do whatever you want!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Aidan felt Ichika before her eyes and suddenly lost consciousness.

When he woke up and slowly opened his eyes, he saw a clear blue sky and the scorched earth surrounding him.

He slowly sat up, raised his hand, and with a thought, a pixelated knife appeared in his hand.

Aidan knelt on a patch of scorched earth, staring at the knife, somewhat lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, a pair of enormous wings, shimmering with dazzling light, slowly gathered from behind him.

He stood up, gripping his knife, and the enormous wings on his back instantly carried him thousands of feet into the sky, where he abruptly flew off in one direction.

Aidan's eyes were now filled with determination. As if recalling something, he increased his flying speed even further.

"Who's behind that tree? We know where you are!"

What are you here for?

"You came here just to play games?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I always have this feeling that you've grown up."

"Hey, I wouldn't mind taking you as my son."

"Look how nervous you are, your teeth are chattering."

"How can they be the same? You're a ' Starlight ', and I'm just a ' Transcendent '."

"Maybe one slap and it'll be gone."

" Aidan, I'm tired..."

Let me go keep Ailin.

"If you and I really are the friends I met online as I mentioned before, then the two of us... would definitely be very good brothers!"

"Alright, that's where my journey ends. The rest is up to you..."

Good brother!

Memories of the past played out in Aidan's mind like a movie.

The final image is that of "Good brother!!"

This was the title that Aidan had always dreamed of being addressed, because before, he had never had a brother, let alone a friend.

And now, having finally found someone who can address him in such a way, he's been torn to shreds by the monster before him...

If I hadn't met [Summer], or if I had been strong enough, the ending might have been different.

Fulan will continue to live, continuing to complete the tasks assigned by his boss every day.

They tease each other, bicker with each other, yet fight side by side, doing everything good brothers would do.

Thinking of this, Aidan gripped the knife tighter and tighter, and veins bulged on the back of her hand.

He stared at the figure before him, engulfed in flames and resembling a demon, his bloodshot eyes filled with rage.

I will kill you...!

[Summer] laughed twice with extreme disdain.

"Haha! That's hilarious. I've met plenty of idiots who want to avenge their comrades."

But I've never seen a fool like you before, someone I killed once and still want to fight again!

"What's more..." [Summer] used her sharp nails to scratch five bloody marks on her other arm.

The raging flames instantly covered the scar, and the wound healed in the blink of an eye.

"Heh, just as I thought! As long as I stay away from that [Life] thing, the cells in my body will continue to belong to me!"

He scratched his face, looking mockingly at Aidan, whose veins were bulging.

"I really like your brother's body~"

Beep--!!

In an instant, dozens of Gaster Blaster fired simultaneously, the dense attack leaving no room for dodge.

The white laser beam, composed of pixels, struck [Summer]'s scorching body. Just before it touched her, Xia's entire body turned into flames, and the laser beam passed right through it without causing any damage.

"Haha! Mastering the Power of the Source... that's..."

Aidan gripped his knife and slashed at [Summer], whose body had turned into flames.

When the raging flames were struck by the knife, a large chunk was sliced off as if it were a solid object.

[Summer] was greatly alarmed!

With a roar, it slammed its fist, made of flames, towards its opponent.

But Aidan was like a projection, having no physical form at all; the fist passed straight through it, just as the laser had passed through [Summer] earlier.

Aidan turned his blade and slashed down again.

This strike cut through [Summer]'s throat.

The ordinary knife that came towards him made [Summer] feel an unprecedented sense of pressure.

His body, made of flames, vanished instantly, disappearing from the spot.

Aidan's strike missed its mark, and he froze, stunned.

The surrounding buildings and greenery began to spontaneously combust, turning the scene into a hellish landscape.

A ball of fire suddenly erupted behind Aidan, engulfing him in a towering pillar of flame.

The flames disappeared, Aidan, who was in the very center, slowly turned around with a cold expression, completely unharmed.

"Damn it!!! How come I can't hit anything?! What the hell are you?!"

In the firelight, a ball of flame slowly outlined [Summer]'s figure, baring his teeth and roaring angrily.

With his arms outstretched and burning with crimson flames, ten scorching slashes flew out, all passing through Aidan's body.

"Ah--!!!"

[Summer] screamed in despair and charged at Aidan. Without caring whether he could hit him or not, he started punching and kicking him relentlessly, venting his anger.

Aidan glanced at the red heart standing not far away, then looked at [Summer] and her eyelids twitched.

That's really stupid...

The pixelated knife slashed down without hesitation, striking [Summer] directly as she vented her anger.

An arm engulfed in flames flew out and fell to the ground.

The blazing flames burned at the severed arm. [Summer] was stunned for a moment, then regained her senses and quickly created distance.

Clutching his severed arm, his ferocious eyes were filled with rage and disbelief.

"What kind of knife is this...? How can it wound my Source?!"

If my Source is gone, I will truly die!

Aidan narrowed his eyes, memorizing this crucial piece of information.
