I continued my adventure in Yamate, a place where, at the start of the game, I got defeated for the first time because my level was still low. Back then, I was easily beaten by enemies marked as stronger and more dangerous. But now, I’m more experienced, my level is higher, and my weapons and armor are much better than when I was just at level 1. So, I felt more confident returning to claim my karma points from the enemies that defeated me before.
I moved carefully, taking down enemies stationed at higher spots first—usually the ones with guns or long-range weapons like bows. Using stealth, I could easily defeat them. I tried to eliminate as many guards as possible silently, but eventually, I got spotted. A dog found me and started attacking. I lured the dog away from the other enemies’ view range.
After defeating the dog, I resumed my stealth approach. Then, I came across an enemy wearing a straw hat, sitting casually by a fire. I tried to assassinate him, but it didn’t work. Turns out, he was a mini-boss for that area.
Before battling this tougher enemy, I switched to armor with higher defense to increase my survival chances. The fight was intense. At first, I used a bigger sword, a saber. My fighting style changed drastically when using it, jumping high and swinging the saber down hard to slash the enemy. But the saber’s movements were too slow, so I switched back to dual blades. Even though their damage was lower, their speed let me take down the enemy more efficiently.
Later, as I approached the harbor, I faced another strong enemy—this time, one with a shield. After repeatedly attacking, the shield finally broke! Luckily, I managed to capture the moment when my sword shattered it. It turned out that this shielded enemy held the key to a locked storage room I’d found earlier. After defeating the keyholder, I rushed to the storage room near the main entrance.
Inside, there was all sorts of great loot, but what made me happiest was getting the Wandering Samurai Kimono, an all-black kimono. Now, I looked way cooler! After restoring public order in southeastern Yamate, I unlocked a black market NPC selling ninja outfits. Now, I need to find more cats to get special coins to buy items from the black market.
I continued exploring and, at one point, stumbled upon enemies harassing traders on the road. Without wasting time, I took them all down. The NPC trader I saved even gave me a discount as a thank-you.
Finally, I arrived at Juniteh Shrine. From afar, I saw an enemy guarding the area. This enemy had a really impressive sword-fighting style. Even though it was just one enemy, I ended up using all my meds during the fight. The enemy could infuse fire into their sword, and the effects were incredible to watch. Despite that, I managed to defeat them and claim the valuable items inside the shrine.
That’s all for now, adventure after adventure, there’s always something unique to discover with each new place. Alright, that’s enough for today. It’s time to say goodbye, but before that, thank you so much for all the support. See you in the next post! Have a great day. Goodbye!
