After your attack, the dragon’s massive body begins to bloat ominously. Channeling your Corruption, you unleash a final devastating strike, causing the creature to explode from within. The resulting force annihilates several nearby buildings, sending debris and shockwaves across the battlefield. Victorious, you spot Dazai’s lifeless form drifting in the distance, shrouded in the chaos.

You approach Dazai slowly, his body eerily suspended in the air. Without hesitation, you deliver a powerful punch to his face, shattering the pill he was holding in his mouth. The liquid inside spills, sliding down his throat. Moments later, his eyes flutter open. As his hand instinctively reaches for yours, your Corruption dissipates entirely at his touch.

The dark energy within you vanishes, leaving you both to plummet into the wreckage below. You land with a scowl, the toll of the Corruption rendering you motionless. Dazai kneels beside you, his voice calm but firm. “Don’t move,” He says, his gaze fixed on the fog still clinging to Yokohama’s ruins. “This… is only the beginning.”

Before you can respond, your vision blurs. Darkness slowly overtaking you as Dazai turns his attention toward the distant Skull Fortress, its ominous spire now glowing with an unnatural light.
