After rescuing spirits from a demonic ambush, I spotted an ominous flock of crows circling a restricted area. I then engaged in a rooftop chase with an Ittan-Momen, successfully capturing it on my second attempt. To reach a distant torii gate, I navigated a bridge guarded by powerful demons.
I suddenly found some demons appeared to take some spirits away while I was exploring the alleys of the city. I couldn't let them succeed, so I fought them with my elemental weaving and I saved the spirits before they could be dragged into the underworld.
While I was absorbing the spirits into my katashiro, I noticed there was a big flock of crows flying in the distance. They were circling a place close to the light, but that part of the city was still unavailable for me due to the deadly fog.
I found an Ittan-Momen after going on top of a roof to scout the surrounding area. It didn't seem like it was too worried about us at first. I started chasing it while it was hovering away across the rooftops, but I failed to catch it for the first time.
The spirit went back to its initial spot where I found it, and I started chasing it again with a better understanding of its movement. This time I chased it down successfully, and I found something from the spirit. The reward was a valuable essence that would help me on my journey through the haunted streets.
Then I noticed a torii gate on top of a building that was a little far from my location, glowing with a faint blue light. To reach it, I knew I had to cross the nearby bridge to get close to that specific location.
But after floating to the bridge, I noticed there were some strong demons guarding the path ahead. I stayed low, realizing that a direct frontal assault would be extremely dangerous given their numbers and the limited space on the bridge.
I noticed there were two demons that I didn't get to know the name of yet, but they were scary and projected a heavy aura. I took one of them down first in stealth as it was a little far from the others.
Then there was this Marionette who was nearby the other strong demon. I took a good chance to take it down while the larger demon was turned around.
The last demon on the bridge was walking around. I took some time and waited behind a car, staying completely out of its line of sight until it had its back turned. I found the perfect opportunity to take it down as well, ending the encounter and cleared the bridge.
We'll continue in another post.

You kept the tension steady from the spirit ambush to clearing the bridge. You noticed the crows and used that as a hint for something bigger ahead. That kind of detail makes the exploration very meaningful.
Crows showing up in this game usually means something is about to go wrong.
Navigating the bridge required some serious patience. Those demons with the heavy auras sound like they could have easily overwhelmed you if you hadn't stayed low.
True, staying low there reduced the risk of getting overwhelmed quickly.
Saving those spirits from the demonic ambush was a heroic move. I noticed how much you cared for those spirits. It should be a great feeling to absorb them and know they're safe from the demons.
Yeah, that felt good.
The bridge fight was probably my favorite part. You didn't rush in, took your time, and handled each demon one by one, that stealth approach made the whole moment feel more intense and controlled.
Yeah. No rushing, just quietly removing problems one by one.
