The candlelight flickered in Qin Si's trembling hand, casting a swaying shadow. Aelia could clearly see the maid Ear's grayish-blue Magic Pattern writhing as if it were alive.
Suddenly, Luna in her arms let out a faint loud cry, the infant's palm marked with the Ice Rose erupted with cold light, and black mist began to swirl around Qin Si's ears.
"The source of the Demon Plague is in the Northwest Tower," Luna curled her purplish little hand around Mother’s garment, her grape-like round eyes reflecting the shifting formations on the parchment. "Father is... cough... at the Underground Altar..."
Urgent footsteps interrupted her words as Leonard burst in with Han Qi.
The usually elegant Lord had his silver hair disheveled, and frostburn marks lingered on his left shoulder armor.
When his gaze fell upon the baby in Aelia's arms, his gray-blue pupils suddenly constricted—Luna's palm marked with Ice Rose resonated with the blood-colored formation diagram on the parchment, projecting an intertwining light and shadow star map onto the wall.
"Immediately seal off the Southeast Tower!" He spun around and bellowed at the Chief Guard who was pursuing him, his cloak sweeping across a potion bottle on the table, causing violet essence to spread into strange floral shapes on the cashmere carpet. "Have all Sorcerers and Leonard’s Thorn Bird Emblem bind any infected individuals showing Magic Patterns with Holy Silver Chains—including my warhorse."
Lucius suddenly clutched his throat and collapsed to the ground, spiderweb-like blue spots emerging on his neck.
Just as he was about to fall into that patch of violet poison, Second Brother's Prophecy Pocket Watch suddenly floated up, metal dust coalescing into a protective shield that enveloped the boy.
Brother San's thorny vines pierced his fingertip, light gold blood flowing through the vine veins into Lucius and Mei Xin.
"Take this child to Moonlight Spring." Leonard tore off his sapphire pendant chain and threw it to Aelia; the ice crystal butterflies sealed within began to flutter. "You should be grateful that Luna’s..." His voice abruptly caught in his throat as Lord Leonard's Sword emitted a longyin-like vibration, the black obsidian embedded in the hilt reflecting the surging blood pool within the Underground Altar.
The Magic Castle Dome echoed with the sharp sound of shattering glass as countless ghostly green Ying Huo insects poured in through the cracks.
They landed in the hair of fleeing maids, instantly corroding their silky golden locks into ash-gray.
Eldest Brother's wheelchair suddenly turned automatically toward the northwest, frost rune arrays etched into the ground guiding symbols as the astrolabe embedded in the wheelchair armrest spun wildly.
"Mother!" Luna suddenly pressed her forehead against Aelia's collarbone, ice crystals seeping through her fine baby hair. "Let Sister Qian Si... cough... go to the greenhouse and pick Black Mandrake..." Her small hand traced a fragmented Purification Spell in the air, but she coughed out Xue Mo mixed with Ice Shards due to her depleted magic.
A scream from the cellar echoed, accompanied by a sticky, writhing sound climbing up the stone wall.
Leonard thrust Leonard's Sword into the floor, the dark Sword Body suddenly sprouting crimson veins that resonated with the formation on the Parchment.
As he pointed his sword at Luna, Aelia realized that the Magic Aura entwined with Jian Feng was counterbalancing her daughter's Ice Rose in a delicate interplay.
"Lord!
There's a riot in the West Side South Wing Granary!" A blood-soaked Sorcerer burst through the door, his Protective mask crawling with maggot-like Magic Patterns. "The Third Knight Order... they are gnawing on their own Leonard's Sword..."
Luna suddenly struggled and reached out her small hand, her bloodied Fingertip precisely touching the Sorcerer's Mei Xin.
The Ice Rose Mark spread along the Sorcerer's nose, freezing the swirling black mist in his Pupil into a Frost Flower.
When Aelia trembled and caught the falling Frost Flower with Sapphire, she discovered that each ice crystal contained a writhing Curse Insect.
"Take her to the Quarantine Zone." Leonard suddenly swung his sword, slicing his Palm and smearing blood onto Luna's swaddling Silver Silk Sash.
As the blood touched the Ice Rose Mark, it vaporized into indigo Azure mist, coalescing above everyone's heads into a Poison Spider-shaped Prewarning Totem. "Since this child can Purification Spell insects..."
"Father!" Lucius's weak voice came from within his Protective shield. The fragment of the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand resonated with Luna's swaddling. "The thing on the altar is mimicking my sister's Magic Fluctuation!"
Aelia quickly hugged her daughter tightly and stepped back, noticing that the crimson veins on Leonard and Leonard's Sword were trying to attach themselves to her Skirt.
Suddenly, Luna let out a heart-wrenching Loud Cry, her baby Palm and Ice Rose beginning to Reverse Rotation, consuming all the Metal Dust within the Protective shield.
Amidst the chaotic gasps of the crowd, the eldest brother suddenly maneuvered the Wheelchair over the patch of violet poison.
The Frost Rune Array reacted violently with the potion, and from the swirling mist emerged blurred memories—Residual Shadows. It was Luna, laughing as she held the Astrolabe during the full moon, while at that moment, the infant's presence lingered.
The memories within the Ice Mist dissipated with Lucius's startled breaths, and the eldest brother's pale fingers gripped the Wheelchair armrest tightly.
Fragmented images from Leonard's Last Night reassembled in his mind—the delicate fingers of Luna playing with the Astrolabe during the full moon matched precisely with the infant's current depiction of the Purification Spell on the Track.
“She knows more than we can imagine.” The Wheelchair rolled over the frost-coated floor, and the metal axle creaked ominously.
He lowered his gaze to the violet poison stains lingering between his palms and suddenly recalled how, three months ago, Luna had pointed towards the Northwest Tower while holding his finger. The infant’s indistinct murmurs now echoed clearly in his ears: “Brother’s Star Trail has been gnawed by black moths.”
The Second Brother abruptly pressed down on his waist where a shattered Pocket Watch lay, its bronze pointer spinning wildly on the broken dial.
His fingertip, stained with Magic Patterns, brushed against the edge of Luna's swaddling. The once-wriggling blue spots beneath her skin suddenly stilled: “The prophecy fragments once showed that Ice Roses bloom under a blood moon—while Luna’s mark is absorbing Miasma Toxin.”
Aelia's trembling fingertip grazed her daughter's blood-stained lips, and suddenly, all Ice Crystal Butterflies within her sapphire pendant turned collectively towards the northwest.
She saw a flash of silver-white Magic Radiance in Luna’s grape-like eyes; the infant bore an expression of unexpected determination for her age.
When a tiny hand from within the swaddling grasped her cascading silver hair, a thought imbued with Frost Breath surged into her mind.
“The Demon Plague... is a curse materialized from the altar...” Luna’s thoughts accompanied by a violent cough revealed that the infant’s palm was consuming Metal Dust that escaped from the Protective barrier. “It needs... to harmonize mandrake toxins with Moonlight Spring...”
Leonard’s sword suddenly emitted a piercing hum, its blade reflecting dark red mist swirling in the direction of the cellar.
The blood-stained cloak swept across Luna's forehead, and the ice crystals that were beginning to form suddenly shattered into countless light spots. "The Third Knight Order has begun to undergo demonization; there’s no time to hesitate—"
"Let me go." Luna suddenly bumped her forehead against Aelia's collarbone, her infantile voice mingling with the deep resonance of a Great Mage.
Her curled fingers traced incomplete runes in the air, and the floating Ice Shards suddenly coalesced into a Micro Star Map, accurately pointing toward the Southeast Tower.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings trembled with the surging magical energy, and she watched the Ancient Incantation swirling in her daughter's pupils. Finally, she trembled as she tore off the Silver Silk Sash from her Peacock Blue Shawl.
When the Sapphire chain touched Luna's Ice Rose Mark, the sealed Ice Crystal Butterfly suddenly burst forth, forming a Frosted Dome above everyone's heads.
"If any abnormalities are detected..." Aelia carefully wrapped her daughter in a cloak embroidered with a Protective Spell, tears dripping onto the swaddling cloth and instantly crystallizing into Ice Pearls. "Qin Si, go to the greenhouse and fetch three Black Mandrakes; they must be soaked in Ye Lu's essence."
The sound of a wheelchair rolling across the floor abruptly interrupted them, as her elder brother's Frost Rune Array carved a winding path into the ground.
His bony palm pressed against the surface of the Astrolabe, and the embedded crystals suddenly reflected the horrific scene of the Quarantine Zone—maids covered in Curse Insects were clawing at the stone walls with Ailya's White Nails, while Chief Guard's Leonard's Sword had already fused with his palm.
"Let prophecy witness this miracle." The Second Brother suddenly pressed a Broken Pocket Watch against Luna's chest, and to their astonishment, the Bronze Fragment resonated with her Ice Rose Mark.
His eyes, stained with Magic Patterns, oozed Hei Xue but revealed an almost mad smile. "Look! The Miasma Toxin is retreating!"
A deafening crash came from the direction of the cellar as Leonard swiftly plunged Leonard's Sword into the eye of the Teleportation Circle.
Crimson veins surged wildly along the sword’s hilt, instantly transporting everyone to the Quarantine Zone filled with a stench of decay.
Aelia staggered to support herself against a bleeding stone pillar and saw that Moonlight Spring had turned into a viscous dark green. Dozens of bloated corpses floated on its surface.
"Mother..." Luna suddenly touched Aelia's Luna with her warm little hand. The ice crystals seeping from her infant fingertip formed Ancient Script in midair.
When Aelia recognized the long-lost Purification Spell, she suddenly felt a lightness in her arms—the swaddled infant wrapped in the Silver Silk Sash began to float on its own, drifting towards the most severely infected individuals.
Brother San's Thorny Vines erupted from the ground, and Light Gold blood coursed through their tendrils into the earth.
The boy silently followed behind the floating swaddling. As the infected thrashing their arms made contact with the vines, the black mist in their pupils momentarily froze.
His fingers, stained with medicine, curled slightly, ready to form a Defense Formation with Thorn.
"Step back!" Leonard's roar shook the Dome and Spider Web above, as Lord Leonard's Sword sliced through a suddenly attacking mutated Tentacle.
Black Purple Pus splattered against Luna's Protective shield, instantly evaporating into Stench fog by the Ice Rose.
Aelia was horrified to see that the fog coalesced in the air into ghostly figures resembling her daughter's face.
Luna suddenly let out a cry like Qing Yue, and an Ice Blue halo erupted around the infant, enveloping the entire Quarantine Zone in an instant.
As the halo swept over Lucius's Demon-Slaying Sword fragment in hand, the spider web-like green marks on the boy's neck began to recede in reverse.
His brother's Wheelchair etched a supportive magic array into the ground, and his frail fingers trembled slightly due to Magical Resonance.
"Now is the time!" Luna's thoughts resonated like bells in everyone's minds.
The Black Mandrake in Qin Si's arms suddenly disintegrated on its own, dark Purple Pollen mixing with Moonlight Spring water to form a swirling vortex.
Second Brother’s Hei Xue spewed forth, solidifying into a Curse in mid-air, merging with the Ice Rose halo as it plunged into the infected Mei Xin.
Brother San's Thorny Vines suddenly grew wildly into towering trees, with pale Golden Buds blooming sequentially on their branches.
As the first petal fell into Luna's hair, the infant Ice Rose suddenly reversed its rotation, tearing a rift through the dark clouds that enveloped the Magic Castle.
Moonlight poured down like silver gauze, and the twisted Knights suddenly stiffened and collapsed, black blood clots entwined with Curse Insects spilling from their mouths.
Aelia staggered to catch her falling daughter, discovering that Luna's Ice Rose Mark had spread across her entire hand.
The infant curled in her arms, breathing weakly, yet her purple lips curved into a victorious arc.
As the last Curse Insect turned to ash in the moonlight, Brother San silently tore off his blood-stained cuff and carefully wrapped Luna's small hand in a bandage soaked with medicinal fragrance.
The Moonlight Spring began to shimmer with long-lost ripples, and the boy's cascading hair brushed against the infant's damp eyelashes.
His fingertip, marked with a Magic Pattern, gently brushed away the ice crystals from Luna's forehead. The hands that had tightly gripped Thorny Vines during the chaos were now slowly channeling the last remnants of magic into the swaddling Silver Silk Sash.
Moonlight crystallized into fine shards on Luna's eyelashes as she curled in Aelia's embrace, her small hand still clutching Brother San's blood-stained cuff without awareness.
The boy's hair swept over the infant's purpling fingertip, and the residual Pale Golden Blood from the Thorny Vines seeped along the bandage’s pattern into the Ice Rose Mark.
"Let the Sorcerers take turns guarding the Moonlight Spring." Leonard sheathed Leonard's Sword, and as the hilt touched Luna's swaddling, the crimson veins recoiled suddenly.
The Lord’s gaze swept over his silent Third Son, Lucius. "You brought Luna..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a violent tremor shook the ground.
Brother San’s vines instantly wove into a protective net around the infant, faint golden veins revealing an unusual Star Map Pattern in the moonlight.
Aelia realized that the boy’s hand was emerging with an Ice Crystal Pattern similar to Luna’s; those Magic Patterns once deemed curses were now resonating with the Ice Rose Mark.
"Northwest Tower!" The elder brother's wheelchair rolled over the ground covered in Frost Flowers, the light spots projected by the Astrolabe forming a fragmented warning symbol on the ground.
His withered fingers suddenly regained color, tracing an Ice Crystal Incantation in the air: "The Curse Core of the altar is shifting!"
Luna struggled to peek out from her swaddling, her bloodied fingertip touching Second Brother's shattered pocket watch.
A Bronze Fragment floated up, intertwining with Brother San's Thorny Vines to create a Light Web, enveloping the decaying Moonlight Spring within.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace snapped in response, and the rolling beads were deftly strung together by the boy using vines, transforming into a medium that amplified magical power.
"Mother... cough..." Luna's thoughts surged with Ice Shards into Aelia's mind, "Let Brother San's Thorn touch Holy Silver..." The infant suddenly coughed violently, expelling ice crystals that encased a writhing Curse Insect.
Without hesitation, Brother San cut his wrist, and Light Gold blood flowed through the vines into the Light Web. The knights on the brink of corruption suddenly stiffened, spewing black mist entwined with silver threads from their mouths.
Leonard slashed through a Space Rift, his sword resonating strangely with Luna's Ice Rose.
As Jian Feng swept across the vines that the boy was sacrificing, Pale Golden Blood boiled suddenly, crystallizing in midair into the form of an Ice Crystal Butterfly.
Aelia's Sapphire pendant shattered, and the century-old Ancient Incantation fell like rain along the butterfly's wings.
"It's the Frost Witch's Purification Spell!" Qin Si trembled as he pointed to the sky.
The Ice Butterflies landed precisely on each infected Mei Xin, freezing the last remnants of Miasma Toxin into Frost Flowers.
Brother San's vines suddenly bloomed with Silver White buds, each petal reflecting Leonard's Last Night when Luna as an infant had playfully grasped his finger.
Aelia suddenly stumbled and knelt on the ground; she finally saw clearly the Pale Golden Blood seeping into her daughter's swaddling—this was not Magic Pattern contamination but rather Brother San's sealed Ancient Bloodline awakening.
The young boy silently caught the falling Luna, the vines weaving into a cradle that carefully held the sleeping infant close to his heart.
"The Magic Fortress Leyline is recovering," Leonard suddenly said, using the Sword Tip to lift the Ground Frost Flower. The star map reflected in those ice crystals was no longer incomplete. "A family meeting will be held tomorrow..." His gaze swept over the blood-stained bandages of the Third Son, and he quickly changed his mind. "Let the medical team treat the wounds first."
As dawn broke through the clouds, Luna let out a faint snore from Brother San's vine cradle.
The boy leaned against a broken stone pillar, asleep, his bandaged hand still hovering protectively above the cradle.
Aelia gently brushed away the ice shards from her daughter's hair and noticed that the infant's palm Ice Rose had spread into a wing shape. The Silver Silk Sash, stained with Brother San's blood, now shimmered with a faint royal Jin Wen.
Suddenly, urgent footsteps approached from the direction of the cellar. The Chief Guard hurried in, holding a Secret Silver Box covered in ice crystals.
As he hesitated to speak while looking at the sleeping Luna, Aelia keenly noticed the golden Rose Emblem at the corner of the box—a mark of the Royal Intelligence Institute.
"Once Luna wakes up..." Aelia gently placed her daughter's small hand back in the cradle, and Brother San's vines instinctively wrapped around to form a Protective Barrier. "Prepare for the Evening Primrose bathing ceremony." She caressed her daughter's newly formed star-shaped mark on her forehead and suddenly recalled how Luna had laughed and rolled into Brother San's arms while clutching a crystal ball during the Full Moon Feast.
Chen Feng picked up fragments of a shattered Prophecy Pocket Watch, its bronze surface reflecting Ice Crystal Butterflies swirling around the Magic Castle Dome.
In the shadow of the tower, an image of the Royal Crest quietly emerged on one butterfly wing, only to shatter into stardust as it touched upon Luna's location.
