I was going to kill my way back to Medicine King Temple and pull a comeback.
Then I would use Medicine King Temple as a springboard to escape the blockade of Japan's onmyoji and the others.
After breaking through that line of defense, I soon encountered a flock of Corpse Crows. However, these Corpse Crows had no self-awareness.
