Now, the God of Darkness began the ritual to forge a new contract. He raised his hand, chanting an ancient incantation as a glowing magic circle formed before him. Canis, already seated at the center of the circle, kept his head down, his expression weary and resigned. The God of Darkness merely offered a faint, understanding smile, as if he had expected this reaction all along.
Slowly, I stepped forward and entered the magic circle. Only I, as the primary contractor, needed to participate—Envi remained outside, watching quietly. As my foot touched the glowing edge of the circle, I felt a wave of dark energy ripple through the space. It was dense, ancient, and alive.
The God of Darkness extended both hands and began releasing his spell: [Darkness Familiar Contract]. In an instant, I felt a pulse of magical force connect me to Canis. His energy surged into my magic circuits, weaving its way into my soul, beginning the process of linking us as one.
