The fragment sent a pulse, a calling, toward the souls. His arms stretched toward the sky, calling the souls to come back home. Nikolai was the lighthouse of these souls, and he offered them a way to leave this world.
The souls entered his body, and the process repeated itself. Nikolai could tell that all of these souls were those with regrets, and he had to listen to their wishes, all screaming within him as they seeped into the fragment inside him.
[You have absorbed forty-three Lost Souls!]
[Sovereignty has leveled up!]
[You can now summon up to six undead monsters.]
