I navigated toward a mysterious light source, taking down several demons with stealth and talismans. After a rooftop battle with a Student of Misery and a successful archery session to clear a bridge, I received an urgent call from Rinko about Hannya. Finally, a vision of Erika appeared and pointed us toward a new building.
I started navigating around the dark alleys and decided to get to the source of the light first to see what was happening. On my way, I took down another rugged walker who was guarding a trapped spirit in the corner of a courtyard.
Then I found a rugged walker and a rain slasher guarding a street so close by that it seemed impossible to take them both down in stealth.
I took down the rain slasher in stealth and the rugged walker didn't even notice me taking down his pal right behind him. I took this chance and took him down in stealth as well, ending the threat before an alarm could be raised. Akito tried a talisman during the encounter, though I don't know why he chose that moment to test his charms on a sure shot.
I climbed on top of a roof from where I noticed some demons who were guarding a bridge in the distance. I tried to attack them from afar using my elemental powers, but the distance was too great and my shots failed to land with enough force to do any real damage.
Instead of being weakened, all the demons from the bridge saw me and started attacking me. One of the students of Misery jumped on the roof I was in, her movements fast and unnatural as she closed the distance.
I switched to another roof where the student of Misery followed me with relentless aggression. I took her down easily once we were separated from the pack, as the other demons couldn't see me or help her from their position on the bridge.
Then I used my bow and arrows to take down the rest of the demons on the bridge. The arrows flew true, hitting their marks one by one until the path was finally clear. I just remembered my gear and asked myself why I was not using this fine equipment all this time when it was so effective.
I jumped down on the bridge and I stopped there for a moment to check around the area. The silence was eerie after the sounds of the battle had faded away.
I was getting close to the source of the light and suddenly I heard a telephone ringing loudly in the distance. I went for it, following the sound to a glowing blue telephone booth standing alone on the sidewalk.
It was Rinko who called me to ask what was taking me so long to reach the objective. She mentioned that Hannya was going to get exactly what he wanted if I didn't hurry up and finish the task.
After the call ended, we saw something that looked like Erika. She didn't speak, but she pointed towards a large building nearby and was clearly trying to tell us something important. Her ghostly figure flickered before she vanished, leaving us with a new direction to follow.
We'll continue in another post.
