Cleansing the Gate.

While Rinko worked on her device, I fought off demons along with a relentless walker. After several failed attempts and restarts, I finally defeated the horde and cleared the way for Rinko to finish her task. Once she succeeded, the Torii gate appeared, but cleansing it triggered a mysterious city barrier.

The fight began against some rainwalkers, so I started taking them down one by one, guessing this would be an easy fight while Rinko kept working on the device behind me.

After taking down a lot of demons, there came this relentless walker with a big hammer. This new enemy made the fight a lot harder for me because his attacks were very powerful and hard to block.

While I was fighting the relentless walker, I noticed some students of miseries were trying to take down Rinko. They were ignoring me and focusing entirely on her and the device.

I realized I had to split my attention between the big demon and the smaller ones to keep Rinko safe.

I went for the students of miseries to stop them, but the relentless walker was there just to stop me. While he blocked my path, the other demons continued to attack Rinko. I eventually got overwhelmed by the walker's strength and died, realizing I needed a better strategy for the next try.

At the restart, I started the fight again with more focus. I began by taking down some rainwalkers quickly to clear the space around the device. I knew the bigger threats were coming soon, so I tried to save my energy for the harder parts of the battle.

Then there came more rainwalkers along with some students of miseries and some paper dolls. They were all working together on taking down Rinko at once. I had to move between the groups and take care of all of them while keeping an eye out for the hammer demon.

When I thought I was doing good and had the smaller demons under control, the relentless walker came back. He caught me by surprise with a heavy strike and it took me down again.

On the next restart, I got a lot more cautious with my movements. After taking down some regular demons, I went straight for the relentless walker. This time I made sure I had enough power and health to back me up, and I took down the big demon real fast.

As I took care of all the demons, Rinko was also done with the device. She mentioned that the local source of the fog should become visible now. I noticed that the Torii gate I needed to cleanse to get to the source of the light was finally visible.

I ran to the Torii gate real fast to finish the mission before more demons could arrive. I cleansed it with my powers, hoping there would not be any more complications next. The air began to clear for a moment as the light returned to the area.

But right after I cleansed the Torii gate, something unexpected happened. A part of the city around me was suddenly blocked by a powerful barrier in a sphere form. I looked up at the glowing dome and realized that my journey was far from over.

We'll continue in another post.
