Despair

Desperate enough to contract anything, even if it causes him harm, Lucas did not even have a full view of what had moved before he willed the grimoire to contract it.

All he knew was that it was a beast and he could contract it.

And so he did.

The dilapidated grimoire shone with a bright light.

Lucas felt his mind touching something; the process of contracting had already begun even before he knew it.

To contract a beast was actually very easy. A summoner only had to do it with their minds, and the grimoire will do the rest.

If the contracting was successful, the beast will be captured and recorded on the blank page inside a grimoire.

If it was unsuccessful, the user would receive a backlash depending on the degree of difficulty, and they could try again if the damage was just superficial.

Perhaps due to his desperate will, the beast was contracted in a matter of seconds.
