"Zheng..."
On the back of Natsume's hand, the gradually drawn pattern emitted a faint light, becoming brighter and brighter with every stroke of Luo Zhen's strokes.
At the same time, Luo Zhen's mantra power was poured in continuously, forming lines on the back of Natsume's hands.
At this moment, Natsume could feel Luo Zhen's spell invading his body, causing the back of his hands to heat up.
At this time, as long as Natsume has a little sense of resistance, the curse that invaded the body will dissipate and the contract will fail.
But Natsume didn't even offer the slightest resistance, allowing Luo Zhen's spell to flow very smoothly and spread throughout his body.
Gradually, after an unknown amount of time passed, Luo Zhen stopped.
"alright."
With a sigh of relief, Luo Zhen announced this.
At this moment, Natsume felt it clearly.
I felt that there was an invisible spiritual vein between myself and Luo Zhen.
This spiritual vein is very stable and powerful, closely connecting the spiritual energy between Luo Zhen and Natsume, and each other's spiritual energy is like intersecting with each other, flowing extremely quickly and smoothly.
On the back of his hand, a pattern formed by three interlocking rings is also imprinted there, emitting a faint light.
"This is... "
Natsume was surprised when he looked at the pattern on the back of his hand.
Luo Zhen smiled slightly at Natsume like this.
"This is my homemade shikigami contract."
Luo Zhen explained it this way.
The emblem of the Tsuchimikado family is a five-pointed star.
In Onmyodo, the five-pointed star is the fundamental pattern that represents the five elements of Yin and Yang. Its origin can be traced back to Abe Seimei. Therefore, it was given the name Seimei Platycodon Seal or Seimei Pattern. It is also a very famous guardian spell pattern. It often appears in spells.
Among the spells granted to Luo Zhen by Tsuchimikado Yasumi, the highest level shikigami contract is to carve a five-pointed star spell pattern on the body of the shikigami, using it as a source to connect the spiritual power between the practitioner and the shikigami. When the connection is raised to the highest level, it can strengthen the flow of spiritual power and synchronize the inspiration of both parties. As long as they are not separated by a country, they can basically feel the location of the other party, allowing the practitioner to call on the shikigami.
However, Luo Zhen made changes to this contract based on his own understanding.
Specifically, the curse pattern of the five-pointed star was changed into a pattern of three interlocking rings.
It sounds so simple, but in fact, this is not something that can be accomplished just by changing the curse pattern.
In order to complete it, Luo Zhen made significant changes to the contract's spell itself. If he were not also proficient in contracts and had conducted extremely thorough research on Chaldea's summoning system, then this contract would not be as good as It can definitely be done.
As soon as it was completed, Luo Zhen replaced the contract between himself and Beidou with this self-made contract, thus making the spiritual connection between himself and Beidou extremely powerful, and the flow of spiritual energy It has also improved a lot, allowing Beidou to exert more powerful power. At the same time, Luo Zhen's control of Beidou has also become easier and very useful.
Nowadays, Luo Zhen is using this self-made shikigami contract on Natsume.
Therefore, Natsume felt that the spiritual connection between himself and Luo Zhen was very stable and powerful, so that the spiritual energy of both parties showed signs of gradually merging.
After understanding this, Natsume was stunned at first, and then expressed doubts.
"But why is it this pattern?"
Three interlocking rings.
Such a pattern has never appeared before in Onmyodo, Esoteric Buddhism, Shinto, Shugendo, etc.
Therefore, it is natural for Natsume to have such questions.
Luo Zhen seemed to have known that Natsume had such questions for a long time, so he explained it very directly.
"Because this pattern is what proves my own essence."
That's why.
The five-pointed star represents the foundation of yin and yang and the five elements, and is also the emblem of the Tsuchimikado family. The scope of the outline is very wide, which dilutes the accuracy of the contract.
Just like a weapon, anyone can use it. However, if it is a special weapon modified according to a specific object, others may not be able to use it, but once it is used by the specific object itself, the power of the weapon can definitely be changed. Be stronger.
The Tsuchimikado family's shikigami contract is like this. Anyone can use it, but with versatility, the effect will definitely become more stable.
Luo Zhen was not satisfied with this, so he changed the spell just now and replaced the five-pointed star representing the foundation of Yin and Yang Dao with a command spell representing himself.
In other words, Luo Zhen changed this contract into his own special spell, and used this as a condition to increase the accuracy of the contract to the highest level.
Thanks to this, because the spiritual connection has become stronger, unless Luo Zhen takes the initiative to abandon the contract, it will become impossible for others to cut off the connection between Luo Zhen and Shikigami. Even if Shikigami himself wants to cut off this For a contract, the power must be many times stronger than Luo Zhen's ability.
One can imagine how powerful the effect of this shikigami contract is.
Of course, the conditions for using this contract have also become more stringent, requiring the shikigami not to resist the power of Luo Zhen's curse. Otherwise, even if there is even a little resistance, not only will the contract fail, but the curse pattern will also fail. It won't be engraved.
Luo Zhen gave a rough explanation and then raised his right hand.
"Look, I also have this pattern on my hand, right?"
Luo Zhen showed Natsume the command spell on the back of his hand.
The Command Seal has always been with Luo Zhen, and it exists no matter where it is, and Natsume, who grew up with Luo Zhen since childhood, will naturally know it.
However, the others, including Natsume, always thought it was Luo Zhen's birthmark.
Although this birthmark is too clear and lifelike, other than that, no one can think of the second possibility.
As for the ring worn on Luo Zhen's hand, it is considered to be a very important thing to Luo Zhen, and others have never known its origin.
Luo Zhen said that this birthmark represented his own essence, and Natsume could only nodded in confusion.
but... ...
"You seem to have the same birthmark on your left hand."
Natsume pointed at Luo Zhen's left hand and said this.
Upon closer inspection, a pattern of three interlocking rings also appeared on the back of Luo Zhen's left hand.
In other words, a command spell actually appeared on Luo Zhen's left hand.
If the people in Chaldea knew this, they would be extremely shocked.
But Luo Zhen touched the command spell on his left hand and smiled meaningfully.
"This is the trump card among trump cards, isn't it?"
Luo Zhen said with a smile.
Then, Luo Zhen returned to the topic.
"Anyway, with this, Natsume will officially become my shikigami." Luo Zhen said to Natsume, "I'll leave the rest of my life to you, Natsume."
Hearing this, Natsume also touched the contract pattern on the back of his hand, and the same emotions of happiness, joy, and getting his wish emerged in his heart.
"yes."
Natsume nodded heavily.
As a result, Natsume became Luo Zhen's shikigami and embarked on the path of magic together.
