A few days later, the furor around the awakened stone statues gradually died down.
This was because most people soon found that it was extremely difficult to sign a blood contract with them.
Some had even captured these statues by force and tried to coerce them into signing a blood contract, but their efforts were all in vain.
These stone statues were a remarkably resolute species.
They would have rather had their bodies shattered into a million pieces than submit to anyone else.
Most trainers trained their familiars with the carrot-and-stick approach. Some even chose to raise their familiars from a young age so that they could grow more intimate with each other. Doing so would also make it easier to sign a blood contract with their familiars.
It was also noted that more intelligent monsters were easier to train, as they were more receptive to fear.
