Andain waved her hand, "Not bad. Next, try this!"
Suddenly, the arrow rain accelerated!
The defensive directions were no longer just one, but two... three!
*Clang clang clang!!*
Block the arrow rain from the left, and your rear end gets bombarded from the right.
Dai Xiaomei couldn't manage both, fumbling and barely keeping up.
Her HP was plummeting!
"No, no, no!"
Dai Xiaomei pleaded, her heart sinking.
This is so difficult! (o(≧口≦)o)
Each boss had different attack mechanics, requiring countless small details to counter.
The end of the game was an endless horizon.
Dai Xiaomei's mental fortitude began to waver. This wasn't enjoying the game; it was masochism!
Meanwhile,
Andain felt no pity for the player's change in mood.
She only wished to help the King collect the seventh human soul and break the seal.
Her offensive grew even more fierce.
Dai Xiaomei could only repeatedly choose 'spare' during her turn.
She had no other choice; opting for challenge would only increase the attack speed, which was madness!
Andain declared, "The sunlight is almost within reach. I won't let you snatch it from our grasp!"
She looked up, her expression one of serene enjoyment, as if she were about to break free from the underground world and breathe the fresh air of the surface.
Seeing her HP about to reach zero,
Dai Xiaomei despairingly closed her eyes, preparing for another life in the cycle of reincarnation.
Just then,
【The smell of sushi.】
A seemingly unchanging selection box suddenly displayed unusual information.
Dai Xiaomei, in her despair, instantly perked up!
【Andain remembered her friend and then punched the ground.】
After the prompt appeared,
She found a 'run' option added to her choices.
Why hesitate?
Run!
Dai Xiaomei decisively bolted!
Unexpectedly, she actually managed to exit the battle interface.
Having escaped, Dai Xiaomei rushed deeper into the cave.
She didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second!
*Thump thump thump!!*
Andain's footsteps followed closely.
It seemed this fellow intended to let her go!
Dai Xiaomei's eyes spun. This creature was not only fast in attacks but also astonishingly quick in movement after disengaging from combat!
Her heavy armor seemed to weigh nothing.
Andain soon caught up to Dai Xiaomei.
Without a word, she dragged her back into the battle interface.
Andain proclaimed, "This time, I won't let you escape from me!"
I'll block!
I'll block!!!
Having glimpsed a sliver of dawn, Dai Xiaomei refused to give up.
Her will to survive was strong as she desperately parried Andain's arrow rain.
Andain stated, "Honestly, I'm helping you... and no one has ever escaped from Asgore. Killing you here would be an act of mercy!"
I don't believe a word you say!
That old hag is wicked!
Dai Xiaomei wouldn't be fooled by such trash talk, continuing her tactical back-and-forth with Andain!
If she found a chance to run, she would bolt!
The battle lines stretched longer and longer.
It chased, she fled, but she couldn't escape!
Andain pursued relentlessly.
Dai Xiaomei was utterly defeated by this persistent adversary!
She felt as though she had traversed almost the entire underground world!
She even encountered the comical brothers, Papyrus and Sans, along the way.
Fortunately,
Fortune favored the persistent!
In the depths of the lava, Andain's weakness was finally exposed.
She stuck out her long tongue, her pace slowing.
"My armor... is too... hot... but I... cannot... give up!!"
*Thud!*
Finally, the terrifying goddess of war was defeated by Dai Xiaomei's delaying tactics.
More accurately, she lost to her own heavy armor.
Wearing that in the underground lava was akin to being a mobile oven, wasn't it?
Even a goddess of war couldn't withstand it!
"How was it, everyone!"
Dai Xiaomei, now incredibly smug, boasted directly,
"Am I amazing or what? I outmaneuvered even this fierce opponent until she died! Hahahaha!!!"
‘Roasted Fish!’
‘Instantly deceased!’
‘Exploited a loophole, but that's a display of skill! Amazing!’
‘Hahaha, in the end, it's the victory of a warm-blooded creature.’
‘The water dispenser next to her is quite modern.’
...
The viewers in the livestream chat chimed in, and a particularly observant comment caught Dai Xiaomei's attention.
"What? A water dispenser?"
Dai Xiaomei walked straight to the water dispenser. "Damn, it really is. Looks like this fish can still be saved."
【Would you like to get a cup of water? Yes/No】
Dai Xiaomei looked at the options before her, then glanced at Andain in the distance, who was still sticking out her long tongue.
This creature seemed more likable than the spider from before.
She was straightforward, a stubbornly silly fellow.
Moreover, Andain had several opportunities to finish her but was interrupted by external forces, likely due to that NPC, Xiao Huang Dou.
"Never mind, I'll save this one for Xiao Huang Dou's sake."
Dai Xiaomei got a cup of water and walked to Andain, pouring it over her head.
"Hehehe, little fish, wake up. Let's fight another three hundred rounds."
Dai Xiaomei's face was beaming. This was her moment of glory!
She wished she could pull out a camera and give a peace sign.
Andain, having cooled down, shakily stood up. Dai Xiaomei immediately retracted her smug expression and retreated three feet, warily watching her.
The audience was highly amused by this scene:
‘Look at your cowardly self.’
‘You've truly taken caution to the extreme.’
‘For program effect, it has to be you, Dai Xiaomei!’
...
Dai Xiaomei ignored the comments and stared intently at Andain.
Fortunately,
Andain didn't exhibit the same hostility towards Dai Xiaomei as before. She looked around, then awkwardly ran away.
Dai Xiaomei guessed it might be because she couldn't linger near the cave, or perhaps this straightforward creature felt too embarrassed to attack her savior.
In any case, this troublesome opponent was finally dealt with.
"Brothers, let's move on to the next level!"
Dai Xiaomei, full of confidence, walked with a swagger!
At a fork in the road, she encountered a hooded boatman steering a small cat-shaped boat.
【Would you like to take the boat? Yes/No】
"Yes!"
Curious, Dai Xiaomei decided to give it a try.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~*
The cat boat sped off with Dai Xiaomei!
She was transported to a dark, fish-headed ancient castle, where an old acquaintance, Papyrus, stood guard at the entrance.
After a brief conversation, Papyrus invited Dai Xiaomei to visit Andain's home.
*Ding—*
She was denied entry at the great gate of the fish castle.
Her interaction with Andain was once again cut short.
Dai Xiaomei speculated it was due to her current position in the normal route.
After all, she had previously executed the Spider Queen.
The subsequent story with the Fish Sister might require other story routes to unlock.
Dai Xiaomei didn't dwell on it and turned her attention to the main quest—finding King Asgore.
She was somewhat anticipating this individual who planned to collect seven human souls to return to the surface.
He must be the most difficult boss to conquer!
