Kaboom!

Nikolai looked at the unconscious dwarf in front of him and crouched beside him. He rummaged through his pockets until he found the possessed item, a small watch. The spiritual power on its was several times stronger than the rest.

"This must be the first item?" Nikolai guessed. If he were the Souls Mechanic, he would have the strongest item drop first.

After putting the watch into his subspace, Nikolai stood up and left the pavilion. He entered his dark dimension and ran back toward the others.

He heard the whistle of an arrow as his food stepped into the pavilion. The headless arrow flew across the pavilion and struck the stumbling dwarf while the other ran forward.

As the dwarf reached Sergio and Yuxi, a long chain appeared between them and wrapped around the dwarf. The dwarf screamed in pain as the chains oozed darkness that tried to devour the poor man.
