"Well, that's not terrifying at all..", Muichiro said, sarcasm lacing his voice as the red atmosphere engulfed him as he left the start room.

"Looks like we're somewhere new!", Rengoku beamed, looking around himself. "Though, it is a bit unsettling.."

Tengen, still in the start room, walked up to the Terminal and bought the S.R.S Cannon for 75,000 P, and he tossed it to Mitsuri. "Alright, let's go."

As they walked through the demonic church a bit on edge and entered the first room, two Malicious Faces and a Swordsmachine appeared in front of them.

"It's been a while since I've seen that machine.", Obanai said, as the Swordsmachine tried to blast him with its shotgun, but to no avail. Obanai responded by firing his Screwdriver Railcannon at it, drilling out tons of blood and causing the Swordsmachine to lose its shotgun arm in the process.

"Wind Breathing, Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon!"

Propelling himself upward, Sanemi struck the Malicious Face with a powerful downward slash, consequently causing the demon to fall straight into the Swordsmachine, crushing it entirely.

"Nicely done, Sanemi!", Rengoku cheered as he shot his Core Eject at the second Malicious Face, soon killing it as well. "Onward into this.. unnerving place!"

As the creepy door in front of them opened, it led to a room with multiple doors. In the middle was some sort of body, dripping with blood onto the floor below it.

"As if this place wasn't already weird enough..", Shinobu muttered, covering her eyes from the sight and entering the only unlocked door. This led to a hallway where four Filths surprise ambushed them along with three Soldiers.

"AH! LOVE BREATHING, THIRD FORM-"

Mitsuri grabbed her blade extremely startled and started swinging it around herself erratically, causing multiple slashes that hit most of the Filth and Soldiers around her, until she was grazed by one of the Soldiers' projectiles, which caused her to think a bit more rationally and actually aim this time.

"Love Breathing, First Form: Shivers of First Love!"

With a graceful swing, her blade extended and swung through the remaining enemies, taking them out and clearing the way.

"Well, that's one way to get the job done!", Tengen said, walking forward along the path. "Of course, I would've done it flashier."

The next area was a larger room, filled with multiple columns. As the Hashira walked further into it, the columns turned bright red with blood and gore, six Filth and four Soldiers spawning as this happened.

"Wind Breathing, Seventh Form: Gale, Sudden Gusts."

Sanemi dashed forward, swinging his blade around which caused gale-force winds to rip the husks apart. Along with that, the winds also hit some of the columns, breaking them apart as four Schisms and a Swordsmachine replaced the fallen enemies.

"We have to break all of the columns!", Obanai deduced, running to the right while slashing at every blood pillar he came in contact with. "Seems easy enough so far.."

His progress was interrupted as a Swordsmachine ran at slashed at him, the latter ducking to evade the blow.

"Serpent Breathing, Third Form: Coil Choke."

Obanai made quick work of the robot, taking its arm out first and then decapitating it as a whole. As for the Schisms, Tengen took care of them rather quickly. As one blood column remained, four Strays spawned around it, throwing projectiles at any who came near.
