Arachnocultist Kokoro has defeated the corrupted Puppy in the DM world

It lies on the ground, weakened, Kokoro attacks it again in which it lets out a pained roar

Kokoro reels back to give the killing blow when the screen goes black and the DM world Kokoro stops it mid-swing (They're dressed in the cloak with hair covering their face with a white dot as their one eye looking at the other Kokoro, no other features besides maybe the nose)

Arachnocultist Kokoro steps backward as the DM Kokoro reels back for their own attack with the scene going in slow motion just before the hit connects

The game closes as if Kokoro died

Reopening it has Kokoro at the base of Mt. Mauga, lying on the ground in pain, they get up clutching their stomach and move much slower; there's a thunderstorm

Trying to leave the area has Kokoro remark that they wouldn't be able to go back to the towns, so all you can have they do is climb to the top of the mountain

This leads up to the finale of the Arachnocultist route and the scene for Final Climb and Ritual

You can no longer go back to the Arachnocultist base or access any of the worlds

Final battle with the interdimensional parasite
