A Suspicious Emperor

This next chapter is a perfect example of the undiscovered power of nanotechnology.  Imagine what microscopic wolves and pixies could do to relieve us of incurable ailments.
 
 Go through the sphincter and run to the end of what I think may be the Emperor’s prostate.  Issun asks us if we want to leap.  Say yes, and Issun will say “we always leap before we think.”  But weren’t we just thinking when we were asked if we wanted to leap into the Emperor?

Cinematic: It looks like the root of the Emperor’s problems is one of those mini cocktail swords.  He probably just got drunk at Trader Vic’s and swallowed the whole cocktail.  It happens to the best of us.

 A monster named Blight appears.  Based on the number of swords he has stabbed through him he seems pretty easy to attack.  He gives us a big speech about how he is one of the germs that causes really bad breath.  You may have experienced Blight if you have ever eaten Corn Nuts.

 BOSS: BLIGHT

•  Fight Blight defensively, let him make the first move and counter attack.
• If he ducks and expels a green ball around him, “mist” him then back
  off because his swords will circle around him like some sort of
  amusement ride.  As soon as they are above his head, run right up to
  him and the swords will fly right over you.
• If he looks like he is coiling up to slash you, “mist” him.  Because
  of the effect, he will slowly cross the playing field with his sword
  drawn.  Attack him with everything you have and his sword will fly out
  of his hands
• Take some “Steel fist Sake” before you attack the sword.
• Back off of the sword when it starts to glow green, because it sends out a shockwave of pain.
• Repeat until dead.

Cinematic: He flies up and explodes.  You get a necklace that looks like it is a string of those complimentary chocolate peppermints that you get at most restaurants.  Those mints, coincidentally enough, help prevent the “blight” you get when you eat garlicky restaurant food.  It is explained that Blight was a disease inside the Emperor’s body.  The air is clear and the Emperor is back.  The darkness left the sword and moved on to the Water Dragon.
