Synopsis: - The Monolith arrives at Journey’s End Cemetery, encountering a group of gangsters. After slaying them, he encounters Father Giovanni Zavattini who agrees to take him to L’Ono Nero. Meanwhile, Alice returns home to discover that the Monolith has left. From her grandmother’s diary, she learns about L’Ono Nero and it’s connection to Journey’s End and the Zavattini family. In the tombs below the cemetery chapel, The Monolith and Father Giovanni Zavattini fight their way through a horde of skeletons brought to life by L’Ono Nero. They then confront the demon. In the resulting battle the demons is defeated and the chapel is destroyed. Father Giovanni thanks the Monolith and goes out to settle a score with the Rocco Mafia family.
