Four Hundred and Sixty-Fourth Trump Card of the Trump Card?

"Zheng..."

On the back of Xia Mu's hand, the gradually drawn patterns exude a faint light, becoming brighter and brighter with Luo Zhen's every stroke.

At the same time, Luo Zhen's spell power poured in continuously, forming lines on the back of Xia Mu's hand.

At this moment, Natsume could feel that Luo Zhen's spell had invaded his body, making the back of his hand hot.

At this time, as long as Natsume has a little sense of resistance, the magic power that invaded the body will dissipate, and the contract will also fail.

But Natsume didn't even have the slightest resistance, allowing Luo Zhen's mantra to flow smoothly and spread throughout his body.

Gradually, after an unknown amount of time passed, Luo Zhen stopped.

"alright."

With a relieved voice, Luo Zhen announced like this.

At this moment, Natsume felt it clearly.

I felt an invisible spiritual vein appeared between myself and Luo Zhen.

This spiritual vein is very stable and powerful, closely linking the spiritual energy between Luo Zhen and Natsume, and the spiritual energy of each other is like meeting each other, flowing extremely fast and smoothly.

And on the back of his hand, a pattern formed by three interlocking rings was also imprinted there, exuding a faint light.

"This is..."

Looking at the pattern on the back of his hand, Natsume was surprised.

For such Natsume, Luo Zhen smiled slightly.

"This is my self-made shikigami contract."

Luo Zhen explained it like this.

The family crest of the Tsuchimikado clan is a pentagram.

In Yin-Yang Dao, the five-pointed star represents the fundamental pattern of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. The source can be traced back to Abe Seimei, so it is also given the name "Seimei Kikyo Seal" or "Seimei Pattern", which is also very famous. Guardian spell lines often appear in spells.

Among the incantations granted by Tsuchimodo Taisumi to Luo Zhen, the highest level of Shikigami contract is to carve the five-pointed star curse pattern on Shikigami's body, and use it as the source to transfer the spiritual power between the caster and Shikigami. When the connection is raised to the highest level, it can strengthen the flow of spiritual power and coordinate the inspiration of both parties. As long as it is not separated by a country, you can basically feel the position of the other party, allowing the practitioner to call the shikigami.

However, Luo Zhen made changes to this contract based on his own understanding.

Specifically, it is to change the curse pattern of the pentagram into a pattern of three interlocking rings.

It sounds so simple, but in fact, this is not something that can be done by just changing the spell pattern.

In order to complete it, Luo Zhen made a substantial change to the spell of the contract itself. If he hadn't been proficient in contracts himself, and had conducted extremely thorough research on Chaldea's summoning system, then this contract would not have been completed. It must be done.

And the first time it was completed, Luo Zhen replaced the contract between himself and Beidou with this self-made contract, so that the spiritual power connection between himself and Beidou became extremely powerful, and the flow of spiritual power It has also improved a lot, allowing Beidou to exert more powerful power, and at the same time, Luo Zhen's manipulation of Beidou has become easier and very useful.

Today, Luo Zhen is using this self-made shikigami contract with Natsume.

That's why Natsume felt that the spiritual power connection between himself and Luo Zhen was very stable and strong, so that the spiritual energy of both parties showed signs of gradually merging.

Knowing this, Natsume was stunned at first, and then uttered in doubt.

"But why this pattern?"

A pattern of three interlocking rings.

Such a pattern has never appeared in schools such as Yin Yang Dao, Esoteric Buddhism, Shinto, or Shugendao.

Therefore, Natsume naturally had such doubts.

As if Luo Zhen knew that Natsume had such a question, 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-Yang and Five Elements, and it is also the family emblem of the Tuyumen family. The scope of the outline is very wide, which makes the precision of the contract diluted.

Just like a weapon, anyone can use it, but if it is a special weapon that is improved 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 this weapon can definitely be changed. get stronger.

This is the case with the Shikigami contract of the Tsuchimikado family. Anyone can use it, but with versatility, the effect will definitely be more stable.

Luo Zhen was not satisfied with this, so he changed the technique, replacing the pentagram representing the foundation of Yin and Yang Dao with the command spell representing himself.

That is to say, Luo Zhen changed this contract into his own special technique, using this as a condition to raise the precision of the contract to the highest.

Thanks to this, because the connection of spiritual power becomes stronger, unless Luo Zhen voluntarily cancels 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 the contract. To make a contract, the strength must be many times stronger than Luo Zhen's ability.

It is conceivable how strong the effect of this shikigami contract is.

Of course, the conditions for using this contract have also become harsher, requiring Shikigami not to resist Luo Zhen's spell power in the slightest, otherwise, even a little resistance is fine, not only the contract will fail, but even the spell pattern will fail. Will not be engraved.

Luo Zhen explained roughly, 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 spell has always followed Luo Zhen, no matter when and where it exists, Natsume, who grew up with Luo Zhen since he was a child, naturally knows it.

However, the rest of the people, including Natsume, always thought it was Luo Zhen's birthmark.

Although this birthmark is too clear and realistic, other than that, no one else can think of the second possibility.

As for the ring worn on Luo Zhen's hand, it is considered to be very important to Luo Zhen, and others have never known its origin.

Luo Zhen said that this "birthmark" represented his own essence, and Natsume could only nod his head half-understanding.

but......

"You seem to have the same birthmark on your left hand."

Natsume pointed to Luo Zhen's left hand and said such a sentence.

Taking a closer look, on the back of Luo Zhen's left hand, unexpectedly, three interlocking rings also appeared at some point.

In other words, there was also a command spell on Luo Zhen's left hand.

If the people in Chaldea learned about this, they would be extremely shocked.

But Luo Zhen touched the Command Seal on his left hand, and smiled meaningfully.

"This is the trump card of the trump card?"

Luo Zhen said so with a smile.

Then, Luo Zhen returned to the topic.

"In short, in this way, Natsume will officially become my shikigami." Luo Zhen said to Natsume, "I'll leave it to you for the next days, Natsume."

Hearing this, Natsume also touched the contract pattern on the back of his hand, and the same emotions of happiness, joy, and fulfillment of his wish emerged in his heart.

"yes."

Natsume nodded heavily.

As a result, Natsume became Rozen's shikigami, and they embarked on the way of spells together.
