"The player wouldn't be able to react at that speed." Undertale breaks the fourth wall a lot, to the point where we're pretty much part of the narrative. Maybe the monsters aren't shooting lightning at actual lightning speed.

There's a principle called Occam's Razor. Heard of it? In short, it means that the real conclusion is often the simplest. Let's apply that here.

Either, a small child is fast enough to dodge literal, actual lightning, or maybe the pre-established weak monster race can't actually shoot projectiles that fast, and what we see as the player is what's going on.
