Just as he was thinking of retreating for the moment, a number of grotesque monsters suddenly appeared before the crowd. These beasts were towering and massive, as if they could swallow all of them in a single gulp. With a furious roar, the creatures lunged straight at them.

"Ah, ghosts!"
"Help! Demons are going to eat me!"
