"Clang …"
On the back of Natsume's hand, the pattern that was gradually drawn emitted a faint light. With each stroke of Rozen, it became brighter and brighter.
At the same time, Rozen's spell power poured in continuously, forming lines on the back of Natsume's hand.
At this moment, Natsume could feel Rozen's spell power invading his body, causing the back of his hand to heat up.
At this time, as long as Natsume had a little bit of resistance, the spell power that invaded his body would dissipate and the contract would fail.
But Natsume didn't resist at all, allowing Rozen's spell power to flow smoothly and circulate throughout his body.
Gradually, after an unknown period of time, Rozan Can stopped.
"It's done."
With a sigh of relief, Rozen announced.
At this moment, Natsume clearly felt it.
He felt that an invisible spiritual vein had appeared between him and Rozen.
This spiritual vein was very stable and powerful, closely connecting the spiritual energy between Rozen and Natsume. The spiritual energy of each other seemed to converge with each other, flowing extremely fast and smoothly.
On the back of his hand, a pattern formed by three interlocking rings was also imprinted there, emitting a faint light.
"This is …"
Looking at the pattern on the back of his hand, Natsume was surprised.
Seeing Natsume like this, Rozen smiled slightly.
"This is my self-made contract with the shikigami."
That was how Rozen explained it.
The family emblem of the Tuyu Clan was a five-pointed star.
In the Dao of Yin Yang, the five-pointed star represented the fundamental pattern of Yin and Yang and the five elements. Its origin could be traced back to Abe no Seimei, so it was also given the name "Seimei Kikyo Seal" or "Seimei Tattoo". It was also a very famous protection incantation, which often appeared in spells.
Among the spells that Taichun of the Tuyu Clan gave Rozen, the highest level of the contract was to engrave the five-pointed star incantation on the shikigami's body, using it as the source to raise the spiritual energy connection between the caster and the shikigami to the highest level. It could strengthen the flow of spiritual energy and synchronize the spiritual energy of both parties. As long as they were not separated by a country, they could basically feel each other's location, allowing the caster to call the shikigami.
However, Rozen made changes to this contract with his own understanding.
To be specific, he changed the pentagram incantation into a pattern of three interlocking rings.
It sounded so simple, but in fact, it was not something that could be done by just changing the incantation.
In order to complete it, Rozen made great changes to the contract itself. If he was not also proficient in contracts and had conducted extensive research on Chaldea's summoning system, this contract might not have been completed.
As soon as it was completed, Rozen replaced the contract between himself and Big Dipper with this self-made contract, so that the spiritual energy connection between himself and Big Dipper became extremely strong, and the flow of spiritual energy also improved a lot. At the same time, it allowed Big Dipper to exert more power, and Rozen's control of Big Dipper also became easier, which was very useful.
Right now, Rozen was using this self-made Shikigami Contract on Natsume.
Therefore, Natsume felt that the spiritual energy connection between himself and Rozen was very stable and strong, causing the spiritual energy of both sides to show signs of gradually merging.
Understanding this, Natsume first came to a realization, and then he asked doubtfully.
"But, why is it this pattern?"
It was a pattern of three interlocking rings.
This pattern had never appeared in the Yin Yang Path, Esoteric Sect, Shinto Path, Cultivation Path, and so on.
Therefore, it was natural for Natsume to have such a question.
Rozen seemed to have long known that Natsume would have such a question, and he explained very directly.
"Because this pattern is the thing that proves my own nature."
That was the reason.
The pentagram represented the foundation of the Yin Yang Five Elements, and it was also the family emblem of the Earth Imperial Clan. The scope of the outline was very wide, so the precision of the contract was diluted.
It was like a weapon, anyone could use it, but if it was specially modified for a specific target, others might not be able to use it, but once it was used by the specific target, it would definitely make the weapon more powerful.
The Earth Imperial Clan's contract was like this, anyone could use it, but with versatility, the effect would definitely be more stable.
However, Rozen was not very satisfied with this, so he changed the tactic, replacing the pentagram that represented the foundation of the Yin Yang Path with the command incantation that represented himself.
In other words, Rozen changed this contract to his own exclusive tactic, and as a condition, the precision of the contract was raised to the highest.
Thanks to this, because the connection of spiritual power had become stronger, unless Rozen took the initiative to abandon the contract, it would be impossible for others to cut off the connection between Rozen and the shikigami. Even if the shikigami wanted to cut off the contract, it would have to be many times stronger than Rozen's ability.
One could only imagine how powerful the effects of the Spirit-branded Retainer Contract were.
Of course, the conditions to use this contract had become harsh, requiring the shikigami to not resist the power of Rozen's incantation. Otherwise, even a little resistance would be good, not only would the contract fail, but even the incantation pattern would not be engraved.
Rozen roughly explained, then raised his right hand.
"Look, I also have this pattern on my hand, right?"
Rozen showed the command incantation on the back of his hand to Natsume.
The command incantation had always been with Rozen, no matter where and when. Natsume, who grew up with Rozen, naturally knew about it.
However, everyone, including Natsume, had always thought that this was Rozen's birthmark.
Although this birthmark was too clear and realistic, other than this, no one else could think of a second possibility.
As for the ring on Rozen's hand, it was thought to be something very important to Rozen, and no one else knew its origin.
When Rozen said that this "birthmark" represented his own nature, Natsume could only nod, not really understanding.
However …
"Your left hand seems to have the same birthmark."
Natsume pointed at Rozen's left hand and said.
Upon closer inspection, on the back of Rozen's left hand, there was also a pattern of three interlocking rings.
In other words, Rozen's left hand also had a command incantation.
If the people in Chaldea knew about this, they would definitely be shocked beyond words.
However, Rozen touched the command incantation on his left hand and smiled meaningfully.
"This is the trump card among trump cards, you know?"
So Rozen said with a smile.
Then, Rozen returned to the main topic.
"Anyway, with this, Natsume has officially become my Spirit-branded Retainer," Rozen said to Natsume, "I'll leave the following days to you, Natsume."
Hearing this, Xia Mu also touched the contract symbol on the back of his hand. His heart was also filled with happiness, joy, and the feeling of having his wish fulfilled.
"Yes."
Natsume nodded heavily.
