It's not that difficult to believe given the nature of SOULs in the story - with Frisk's and Chara's determinations being remarkably powerful.

A strong SOUL and determination can override a monster's physical and magical prowesses rather easily. The legends say that not even the combined strength of every monsterkind could destroy a human with a powerful SOUL...which is what we see happen in both routes, to an extent.

In the Genocide route in particular, Chara/Frisk are incredibly overpowered because monsters are especially vulnerable to human negative emotions. Strike a monster with enough intent to kill - and they die even if you're hitting them with a stick.
