After fending off Rainwalker and reclaiming the captured souls, I survived a high-energy ambush and used a Tengu to scout the city from above. I eventually reached a demon-guarded petrol station to begin a stealthy infiltration.
While I was busy taking photographs of the area, a Student of Misery managed to grab one of the spirit boxes. I had to get serious immediately to make sure they didn't get a chance to do the same with the remaining one.
Reinforcements arrived in the form of Rainwalkers who tried to stop me and seize the box. I kept them from rotating toward the objective, fighting back with everything in my arsenal to keep the spirits from being taken.
Once the Rainwalkers were dealt with, I noticed a lone Student of Misery still trying to siphon the spirits away. I engaged her and another companion, focusing my power to end their interference for good.
After confirming the area was safe, I broke open the locked box. I absorbed the trapped spirits into my katashiro to ensure they reached safety away from the demons.
Moving ahead, I was suddenly ambushed by a Student of Misery and a Student of Pain. Both were incredibly energetic and aggressive, forcing me to back off and before I could counter-attack and take them both down.
I found a telephone booth and went inside to empty my katashiro. Right after the transfer, Akito heard Mari's voice again, where she sounded distressed, saying she couldn't breathe and complaining about the intense heat.
I spotted a Tengu and used it as a grappling hook to reach the rooftops. From this vantage point, I took down a wanderer and absorbed several spirits that had been spelled into the open air.
I reached a petrol station that was being heavily guarded by several demons. A massive corrupted tree loomed over the site, marking it as a major point of Hannya's influence.
The guardians somehow sensed my presence and began searching the area. I took cover until they started to return to their posts, then moved in for a silent takedown on a Paper Doll to start clearing the station.
We'll continue in another post.
