I continued my mission to save spirits. After destroying a corrupted tree to open the road, I fought a dangerous duo of spirits and reached the massive Shiroyama Shrine. I cleared the outskirts and cleansed a gate, only to find the inner sanctum completely barren and heavily corrupted.
I continued my exploration of the city, moving from block to block to hunt down demons. My primary goal remained saving the trapped spirits, and I took down several guards along the way to set them free. Each encounter felt like I was slowly reclaiming the streets from the supernatural fog.
Suddenly, I spotted a demon wearing a suit lingering near a corrupted tree. There was another one positioned right beneath the trunk, almost as if they were standing guard over the corruption.
I decided to tail the demon in the suit to see what he was up to. He led me to a nearby building, where he began knocking on a door very gently. I used the opportunity to move in and destroyed him quietly, ensuring that the other spirits in the area wouldn't be alerted to my presence.
With the immediate threat neutralized, I took down the second guard in stealth as well. I then turned my attention to the tree that was blocking the my path. I aimed for its glowing core and shot it, which successfully cleansed that section and opened up the road ahead.
Further down the street, I encountered a suit-wearing demon and a headless demon patrolling together. It was a dangerous duo, but I managed to coordinate my attacks and took them both down before they could overwhelm me with their different fighting styles.
At last, I reached the Shiroyama Shrine. It was an imposing structure, and I knew that reaching it was only half the battle. To fully unlock the area, I would need to cleanse the entire site of its lingering corruption.
The shrine was a massive area filled with demons. I realized I couldn't just rush to the center, so I spent some time systematically taking care of the guards on the outskirts to make the final push much safer.
I moved forward and cleansed the first gate. The spiritual energy felt powerful, and I hoped that the inner sanctum would reward my efforts with some useful items.
I stepped inside, hoping to find more Katashiro to increase my carrying capacity, but I was disappointed. The shrine was so heavily corrupted that it looked like everything of value had been destroyed or vanished. There was absolutely nothing left behind for me to collect.
We'll continue in another post.
