Introduction
Kijogami Kakiharu: The plains near the border served as the battlefield for this encounter. The Knight Order, led by the Royal Knights Commander, stood in a neat line, with numerous soldiers arrayed behind them.
Kijogami Kakiharu: Kijogami Kakiharu suppressed his pounding heart. Yet, his eyes were wide, eagerly anticipating the start of the battle.
Narrator: Before them, the enemy army was lined up just as neatly as the Royal Knights. The rustling of armor with each breath added an unpleasant, human element to the tense battlefield. When the Royal Knights Commander, still on horseback, advanced one step forward from the formation, the enemy general also advanced one step from their formation, still mounted.
Narrator: As the Royal Knights Commander and the enemy general simultaneously drew their swords and raised them to the sky, the atmosphere of the battlefield was instantly dyed with bloodlust. All eyes turned to the two swords, and the next moment, both swords were brought down forward. At the same time, trumpets announcing the start of the war blared loudly. After a moment of silence, the Royal Knights Commander and the enemy general shouted: For the kingdom!!
Kijogami Kakiharu: At that instant, the Contractors from both nations frantically touched the engravings carved on their bodies.
Kijogami Kakiharu: Amidst them... Kijogami Kakiharu alone slowly stroked the engraving on his Adam's apple, as if caressing a beloved being.
Narrator: Magic circles expanded at the feet of the Contractors, and dragons began to teleport onto the field. Dragons covered in scales that burned like fire, or dragons with long, coiling bodies and blue scales that exuded a divine presence... The summoned dragons began to slaughter the enemies alongside their Contractors.
Kijogami Kakiharu: Watching this, Kijogami Kakiharu's lips curled into a wide, splitting grin. The magic circle that unfurled at his feet was noticeably larger and more intricately patterned than those of the other Contractors. Immediately after the magic circle glowed with particular intensity...
