Into the Underworld.

After saving captured souls at the mall, I finally defeated the pursuing Shine Dancers. Navigating past a corruption tree and climbing up to the Torii Gate, I stepped through an otherworldly bridge, emerging into a realm overrun by floating enemies and deep corruption.

I tried to ignore the Shine Dancers to get on my way at the restart. But at that mall, I found some demons trying to take away some souls in boxes, so I stopped them from doing it and I absorbed the spirits.

And the Shine Dancers found me again. So it looked like it was inevitable to fight them, and this time, I overwhelmed them with mass struggle to clear my path.

I used a close-by Tengu as a grapple hook to get to a rooftop. From what I noticed, the Torii Gate was not so far anymore, but I had to navigate to another side to get closer.

It looked like I needed to get to the bridge that was blocked by some demons and a corruption tree. After getting there, I took down all the demons and cleansed that area to clear the route.

Then it clicked eventually that I could use that bus as a support to get to that building's cornice. But I noticed a ladder was waiting to help me climb up smoothly.

Taking the ladder, I climbed up and reached the Torii Gate, and it looked like it was not merely a normal Torii Gate, but a bridge to the underworld.

After getting to the other side through the Torii Gate, I looked back and noticed there was nothing behind, as if I came out of nowhere into this altered space.

As I went ahead, I found some demons on the way that I had to take care of. When I went to another gate, I noticed the spot ahead was fully corrupted with a lot of corruption trees around, and there were some levitating enemies along with some wonderers guarding that place, which made it look like a hard job to take care of.

We'll continue in another post.
