Facing the Tokihanatsu Beasts

As Daisuke walked within the other realm, the air was heavy with an eerie silence, broken only by the occasional distant roar of a Tokihanatsu Beasts. He stood at the mouth of a cavern, the entrance to yet another labyrinthine challenge. His heart pounded with a mixture of fear and curiosity, taking a firm grasp of his sword.

He took a deep breath, recalling Hōkai's teachings.

"Focus, Daisuke. Use the techniques I've taught you. Every movement must be precise, every strike purposeful."

With these words echoing in his mind, he stepped into the darkness.

After a few gradual steps, the sound of a Tokihanatsu Beast began to echo. The closer he got to the sound, the more apparent and visible the Beast became.
