Souls Mechanic
Nikolai aimed at the figure instantly, shooting several bullets, which he infused with his mana. They reached the soul as it was a few inches away from Lex.
The bullets didn't kill it or make it dissipate, but it did disturb its presence long enough for Nikolai to pull the Gunmaster back. It gave a shrill scream and grew larger, and its features became more prominent.
"Yo, Souls Mechanic," Nikolai bared its teeth as his crimson eyes glowed eerily in the darkness. "Do you think it's wise for you to fight us as a soul?"
Souls need bodies for a reason, and bodies need souls. Each of them was weak on its own. The ethereal entity in front of them wavered in hesitation.
"Why are you all still..."
"Not possessed?" Nikolai smirked. "Your little plan to possess others annoyed me, so I made sure to pick up every single item that I found. All sixty-six of them."
