"Commander!"
"Commander, save me!"
"Run!"
"It's so dark, I can't see where I'm going!"
The mercenaries descended into chaos.
Above their heads gaped an abyssal maw that reeked unbearably.
That mouth seemed as wide as heaven and earth.
It could even devour the lights on the ground.

Hungry Ghost's parched voice came from the sky.
It carried boundless fury.
"Ah..."
"Commander, I don't want to die!"
