Aikalen kept her eyes tightly shut.
The expected scene of being pierced through by a knife did not happen. Instead, something was stuffed into his hand.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the small knife in his hand.
Aikalen 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 was your most genuine action, coming from the bottom of your heart.
Frisk gently embraced Aycaren.
"Your kindness towards the monsters is the way to defeat me. You... have already 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, Aikalen felt a blur before her eyes and suddenly lost consciousness.
When he woke up and slowly opened his eyes, he saw a blue sky and the surrounding environment that had become scorched earth.
He slowly sat up, raised his hand, and with a thought, a pixelated knife appeared in his hand.
Aikaren 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 to a great height, where he suddenly flew off in one direction.
Aikalen's eyes were now filled with determination. As if recalling something, he flew even faster.
...
"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 a 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."
"Can they be the same? You are a 'Star Glory', and I am just a 'Transcendent'."
"Maybe one slap and he'll be gone."
...
"Aikalen, I'm tired..."
"Let me go keep Eileen company."
...
"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. I'll have to leave the rest to you..."
Good brother!
...
Memories of the past played out in Aykaren's mind like a movie.
The final line was "Good brother!!"
This was the title that Aikaren 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 Xia, or if I had been strong enough, the ending might have been different.
Fran will continue to live, continuing to complete the tasks assigned by his boss every day.
They tease each other, bicker with each other, and fight side by side, doing everything good brothers would do.
Thinking of this, Aikaren gripped the knife tighter and tighter, and veins bulged on the back of his 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...!"
[Xia] let out two loud, extremely disdainful laughs.
"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, the kind who wants to fight again after I killed him once!
“What’s more…” Xia 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 expected! 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 Aikalen, whose face was bulging with veins.
"I really like your brother's body~"
Beep—!
In an instant, dozens of dragon bone cannons fired simultaneously, the dense attack leaving no room for dodge.
The white laser, composed of pixels, struck Xia's scorching body. Just before it touched her, Xia's entire body turned into flames, and the laser passed right through it without causing any damage.
"Haha! Mastering the power of origin. That's..."
Aikaren gripped his knife and slashed at Xia, whose body had turned into flames.
When the raging flames were struck by the knife, a large chunk was cut off as if it were a solid object.
Xia was greatly alarmed!
Roaring, it slammed its fist, made of flames, at its opponent.
But Ekalen was like a projection, having no physical form at all; the fist passed straight through it, just as the laser had passed through [Xia] earlier.
Ekalen turned his blade and slashed down again.
This strike cut through Xia's throat.
The ordinary knife that came towards her made Xia feel an unprecedented sense of pressure.
His body, made of flames, vanished instantly, disappearing from the spot.
