In the Ice Crystal Petal Falling Protection Array, Luna blinked her eyes while curled up in her swaddling.
The scattered Xing Xu in the air were piecing together Leonard's Last Night, where Leonard and Leonard's Concubine secretly met. She bit down on the swaddling tie embroidered with the Guardian Spell, quietly wrapping a strand of golden hair around Aelia's Emerald Earrings.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the flames at the tip of the Fire Dragon's tail.
From the flickering Dark Purple Flame emerged a Magic Letter bearing the Amethyst Rose Emblem, which was none other than the love letter Leonard had written to Mistveil Manor last month.
Aelia staggered back a step, and Ailya, adorned with Twin Lotus embroidery, was snagged by a Thorny Bush. The ice crystals entwined around the Rose Vine suddenly refracted into seventeen Secret Letters, each ending with a blood-red lip print.
The crack at the top of Leonard's Staff erupted with golden light, incinerating the floating love letters into Ashes. "Illusion Magic! This must be the work of the Black Sorcerer!" he shouted sternly, as the Black Rose powder that fell from his sleeve solidified upon hitting the ground into a Magic Pattern diagnosis of Leonard's Concubine, who was seven months pregnant.
Aelia's hand tightened around Luna's Swaddling, trembling slightly. The Star Moon Birthmark that suddenly emerged on the baby's neck resonated with her Dowry Necklace.
As the last ice crystal reflected Leonard's visit to Leonard's Concubine yesterday during his disguise as Leonard's Last Night, the Ice Spirit Jade Hairpin in her hair cracked with a "Click," merging the wedding vows from Twenty Years Ago with this moment of Leonard's Last Night into sharp mirror-like shards.
"You promised never to touch the Taboo Rose!" Aelia waved her sleeve, shattering the Ice Mirror scattered across the ground. The shards reflecting their vows transformed into ice spikes hovering around Leonard. "The Evil Contract you severed to marry me is now inscribed in your illegitimate child's Magic Pattern?"
A dark red curse mark flashed in Leonard's eyes as he slammed his Scepter down, shattering all the ice spikes.
The splintered ice coalesced into twelve mourning birds in Luna’s silent Spell, carrying fragments of a Magic Core that landed on Third Young Master Lucius’s Astrology Robe.
Suddenly, a Divination Card that slipped from the boy’s sleeve ignited spontaneously, revealing Luna locked inside the forbidden Magic Tower in a Prophecy Scene amidst the Ashes.
"Disaster Star!" Leonard suddenly formed a seal and summoned the Binding God Lock. The moment the Black Iron Lock chains wrapped around the infant, they were rebounded by the Defensive Formation.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a sinister smile. "I want to see if this Nefarious Offspring, who has stolen the Forbidden Technique, can withstand the Judgment Thunder!"
Luna pretended to be startled and let out a loud cry, her small hand stealthily severing the silk wrapped around her brother's wheelchair armrest.
Those silks, shimmering with a purple light, suddenly ensnared Leonard's Contract Gem, vividly projecting the broken demon Contract Patterns from twenty years ago onto the scales of the Fire Dragon.
The magical creature furiously unleashed its Dragon Breath, singeing half of Leonard's cloak.
"When the Ming Ri Yue Shi arrives, the Judicial Tower will judge this Demon." Leonard flicked his sleeve, sealing Luna's cradle within an Ice Coffin. As he turned, half of a Shuang Sheng jade pendant unexpectedly fell from his belt—exactly the token of their engagement that he and Aelia had each held half of back then.
At the moment the Ice Coffin vanished along with the Magic Circle, no one noticed that Third Young Master Lucius quietly crushed the jade pendant underfoot.
The crystal ball hidden within the boy's Astrology Robe reflected the phantoms of the Three Brothers rushing forward—the Amethyst Rose thorns crushed beneath Leonard's boots formed a trail of blood under the moonlight, leading towards the forbidden Magic Tower.
The Magic Residue left by the disappearing Ice Coffin had yet to dissipate when an urgent Zhen Chan echoed from the ground of Fountain Square.
The Amethyst Axle on his brother's wheelchair shattered ice crystals across the ground. To everyone's surprise, the wheelchair lifted three inches into the air, with countless silks bursting forth from its hub, weaving into a flickering Star Map in midair.
"Does Father truly intend to sacrifice a newborn infant to the Judicial Tower?" His brother's pale fingers gripped the dark compartment of the wheelchair armrest, and scars once marred by Magic Backlash and Ailina's Burn suddenly glowed with silver light.
The suspended Star Map silks accurately ensnared the last wisp of Han Qi before the Ice Coffin vanished, coalescing in midair into an Xu Ying for Infant Swaddling.
Leonard's Boots crushed the scattered Amethyst Roses on the ground, and as he was deceived by his close friend, a Curse Mark on his neck suddenly erupted with black mist.
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, the mist transformed into three identical phantoms, each holding a different elemental Magic Sphere—these were the three types of elemental magic sealed away when he took the blame for his friend years ago.
"Last month, Father mentioned he would inspect the demon rift in the Northern Territory. Was it really opened in the birthing room of Mistveil Manor?" Brother San ignited an Indigo Flame at his Fingertip. His long-neglected talent for Magic Potions surged forth at that moment, and a casually thrown Forgetfulness Potion corroded the Contract Gem atop Leonard's Staff, releasing wisps of Qing Yan.
As Leonard's Staff struck heavily against the ground, shattering the three phantoms, the dissipating Magic Element coalesced into frost at the hem of his robe.
His cold gaze swept over his three sons. "Since when did you learn to use the magic I taught you to defy me?"
Qin Si suddenly lunged toward the vanished Ice Coffin's Magic Circle, trembling fingers dipped into residual ice crystals to draw a Warning Symbol on the ground. "Lord, think twice! The Judgment Thunder from the Judicial Tower will automatically activate the Guardian Spell within the infant. Have you forgotten the prophecy from twenty years ago when the Great Mage fell?" Blood Pearls began to seep from her Earlobe, and those droplets arranged themselves on the Ground into an Ancient Proverb: "Star-Moon Convergence."
Lucius's crystal ball suddenly rolled out from his sleeve. As he caught it with his Astrology Robe, images emerged within—Knights Templar gathering around the perimeter of a Magic Castle. "Uncle's patrol team sent word yesterday that The Holy See has already noticed rumors of the Evil Contract reappearing." He crushed the Emerging Pope's Crown Xu Ying within the crystal ball beneath his foot. "If family infighting occurs now, by Ming Ri Li Ming time, it’s likely that Glorious Demon Fortress will change its surname to Holy Light."
Aelia's Emerald Earrings buzzed suddenly, and her golden hair entwined around them automatically weaved into a miniature Defensive Formation.
She stared blankly at her Palm where a Star Moon Birthmark was Emerging and suddenly raised her hand to tear off her Neck necklace.
The silver Chain Pendant inlaid with the Family Crest fell into Shan Na's fountain, causing the entire castle's Defensive Formation to emit a mournful Zhen Chan.
"Twenty years ago, when you severed the Evil Contract, you used my Heart's Blood to nourish your Oathblade." Her Fingertip stained with Dan Kou traced across her chest, and a thread of golden Bloodline wound its way along a crack in her Ice Spirit Jade Hairpin. "Now this child's Luna can resonate with your Oathblade. Lord, can you guess whose Crown of Heaven will be struck by the thunder from Judicial Tower?"
Leonard suddenly sneered as black mist overflowed from a crack at the top of his Scepter, devouring the golden light of Resonance from the Oathblade.
He raised his hand to catch a falling shard of ice, and within the crystal, the face of Leonard's Concubine suddenly sprouted demonic horns. "Since you all believe in the prophecy..." The Scepter suddenly pierced the crystal, and the ancient magic array sleeping at the bottom of the Fountain Pool began to glow red. "Then let the Judicial Tower verify whose bloodline flows through this Disaster Star marked with the Star Moon Birthmark!"
The Three Brothers sprang into action simultaneously. The eldest, Wheelchair, unleashed silk from his chair to ensnare the Scepter, while Second Brother conjured a water elemental barrier to shield the Magic Circle. Brother San hurled a Confinement Potion towards the Magic Circle Core.
However, all their attacks were rebounded the moment they touched the Scepter. Leonard's cloak bore a family crest that suddenly opened a scarlet eye—an eye that should have perished twenty years ago: the Demon Contract Eye!
Scarlet Shu Tong emitted a radiant light that swept across the battlefield, causing all twelve Angel Statues of the Magic Fountain to turn simultaneously.
Originally cradling the Holy Grail, their palms twisted into claws, and thick Hei Xue oozed from their eye sockets, corroding the ground of the square into sizzling pits.
The Contract Gem atop Leonard's Staff cracked with spider web patterns, and dark red mist surged forth, coalescing behind him into a three-meter tall Demon Shadow.
"You should be grateful that my magical factor still flows through your bloodline." The Demon Shadow let out a sinister laugh in dual tones as Leonard's right hand transformed into a claw covered in scales. "Now step aside, or perhaps I can still retain your value as pawns."
Suddenly, Luna's loud cry pierced through the Ice Coffin; this sound wave shattered the Hei Xue in the Angel Statues' eye sockets into gold dust.
The magic array at the bottom of the Fountain Pool began to reverse its rotation, and countless Starshine Vines emerged from the corroded ground cracks, wrapping around the ankles of the Demon Shadow.
Aelia's blood pearl seeped from her earlobe and floated in mid-air, forming a half-complete Guardian Spell before her.
"I see now..." Aelia suddenly tore off an Ice Spirit Jade Hairpin from her hair and plunged its tip fiercely into her palm.
As blood infused with the light of the Star Moon Birthmark dripped down, the Peacock Stone Tiles of the entire square flipped over, revealing an oathblade altar sealed for twenty years beneath them.
The golden light absorbed by Leonard's Staff suddenly flowed back like countless golden serpents swimming toward the sword groove at the center of the altar.
Leonard's pupils constricted as his demonized right hand lunged toward the altar.
However, the claws he swung passed right through Xu Ying—the true Oathblade had long since vanished on the day of the wedding twenty years ago, along with the severed Evil Contract.
This realization elicited a roar of Fury from him, and a Dark Red beam shot from the tip of the Scepter straight toward the Ice Coffin.
"Father, be careful of the backlash!" Lucius suddenly threw out three Astrology Dice.
The dice formed a Triangle Sealing Array in midair, but disintegrated into dust upon contact with the Dark Red beam.
As the boy staggered backward, a Celestial Chart that slipped from his sleeve happened to cover Aelia's drawn Guardian Spell, and the incomplete runes suddenly completed into a full Star-Moon Barrier.
The Dark Red beam collided with Shan Na's barrier, and the surface of the Ice Coffin suddenly emerged with dense Mama Star Patterns.
These patterns resonated with Luna's neck Luna, absorbing all of Leonard's attacking energy.
The Ice Coffin emitted a crisp shattering sound, and the swaddled infant floated in midair, while the lethal Dark Red energy transformed into a brilliant river of stars around her.
"Impossible!" Leonard's demonic claws began to fade. "How could the seal of the Judicial Tower..."
His bewilderment was interrupted by a sudden reversal of Energy Flow.
Luna waved her small hand without Awareness, and a strand from the river of stars wrapped around the Contract Gem atop the Scepter, perfectly imprinting the demon Contract Patterns severed twenty years ago in the air above the square.
Aelia suddenly clutched her Heart as she saw her own Magic Mark mixed among those imprinted patterns from when she made her vow years ago.
The Oathblade's Xu Ying gradually solidified within the river of stars, and on its hilt was engraved a Star Moon Totem identical to Luna's.
Suddenly, columns of water rose from the Fountain Pool, each one revealing the magical Residual Shadows left behind by Leonard and his Concubine during their secret meetings.
"The judgment... has begun." The Star Map on Brother's Wheelchair automatically reconfigured, the Silk refracting sunlight into a rainbow-like Halo.
The Curse Mark on Second Brother's neck suddenly split open, and instead of black mist, pure tricolor elemental streams poured forth.
Brother San's Magic Potion Bottle in hand exploded on its own, and the potion painted the complete formula for the Evil Contract in midair.
Leonard attempted to retreat but found his cloak pinned to the ground by Xu Ying's Oathblade.
The Demon Shadow emitted a piercing Screech but melted away like spring snow under the starlight.
The Contract Gem atop the Scepter suddenly exploded, and every shard reflected the emerging demonic horns on the forehead of Leonard's Concubine's unborn child.
Luna suddenly opened her eyes, and the starry river flowing in her pupils plunged the entire square into the silence of Shan Na.
She extended her small hand into a gentle fist, causing Xu Ying's Oathblade to abruptly change direction, its Sword Tip pointing at Leonard's still-healing Contract Scar on his heart.
The swirling energy of the starry river began to automatically write new Contract Clauses, each character shimmering with the Golden Radiance of Aelia's oath from years past.
As the final rune took shape, shards of the Ice Coffin suddenly converged into a Crystal Cage, sealing away all of Leonard's surging Dark Red energy.
He tried to summon demonic power to break free but found Starlight Chains growing from his Heart Scar—on the other end of these chains were twelve newly purified Angel Statues in the Fountain Pool.
Moonlight filtered through the Colored Glazed Window, casting eerie Diamond Light Spots on the carpet of the Magic Castle Council Chamber.
Luna curled up in the Lustrous Cradle, her chubby little hand clutching the hem of Lady Aelia's gown, which was adorned with Star Diamonds.
She could feel the restless Magic Element in the air, like the gathering storm before a tempest.
"Dear, you should go check the Defensive Barrier in the West Wing," Leonard said, twisting the Obsidian Ring on his thumb. His silver-gray hair shimmered under the moonlight, reflecting a cold light.
The magic Zhang Jian at his fingertips flickered with dark red light spots, remnants of Fire Magic.
Just as Aelia was about to rise, Luna suddenly let out an urgent wail.
Her pupils rippled with a light gold hue, and the Crystal Wind Chime hanging above the cradle began to sway without wind, casting colorful light spots that intertwined on the wall—images of Leonard kissing the Red-Haired Witch in a dark alley during Leonard's Last Night.
"What kind of sorcery is this!" Lord exclaimed, abruptly standing up, causing his rosewood chair to crash to the ground.
His wand shot forth a crimson Fire Serpent, but it rebounded upon touching the Cradle as if struck by an invisible barrier.
Flames climbed along the carved pillar, scorching a black hole into the family tapestry on the wall.
Luna laughed, her small hand pressing against the Crystal Bell.
More fragments of light and shadow emerged from the smoke: a witch wearing jade earrings gently caressing her rounded belly, Leonard slipping a Family Crest ring onto her ring finger, and in the dim room, the baby's cradle bore the Thorn Emblem of the Glorious Demon Fortress...
"Three years ago, you gave me a birthday gift; it turns out it was a replica?" Aelia's voice was as cold as the Northern Glacier.
The Moonstone Necklace around her neck erupted with a silver-white halo, and the gargoyle sentinels at each corner of the Assembly Hall opened their crimson eyes.
Qin Si silently pressed the Secret Silver Dagger against her waist, her usually gentle eyes now gleaming with the ferocity of a leopard.
Leonard's cloak billowed without wind, black mist creeping up from the ground.
He suddenly pointed his wand at Luna. "It was this Little Monster who used Black Magic to create the illusion!" Dark Purple Lightning tore through the air but bizarrely twisted just inches away from baby Mei Xin—suddenly, the mirrored chandelier on the ceiling refracted a million rays of light, returning that deadly Spell back to its origin.
"Mirror Reflection Spell?" Just recovering from the Magic Backlash, his elder brother stumbled into the room, witnessing Lord being struck by his own magic.
His shattered Left Leg glowed with an eerie Phosphorescence under the moonlight, a Curse Mark left from three years ago when he bore the brunt of Father’s dark Magic Backlash.
Luna's pupils had turned pure gold, and all the mirrors in the Assembly Hall suddenly resonated with Leonard's Sword, which emitted a hum.
Ailya's Silver Mirror revealed a suffocating sight: five corpses of infants wearing Thorned Crowns floated within a Blood Magic Circle, each child’s chest embedded with Leonard's Family Crest.
"Using the heart of a Legitimate Son as a Sacrifice to gain dark power..." Second Brother's Alchemical Pocket Watch clattered to the ground, its Secret Silver Pointer spinning wildly. "So that’s why my Elemental Sprite went berserk back then..."
Brother San let out a beastly roar as Leonard's Magic Suppression Bracelet shattered in response.
The Azure Wind Blade cleaved the Oak Long Table in half. "Father, was it because you added Illusion Grass to my meditation potion that my magic went out of control when I was seven?"
Leonard's cold smile froze on his lips.
He suddenly realized his shadow was uncontrollably twisting and deforming, the Marble Pattern on the ground wrapping around his feet as if alive—this was a Guardian Barrier that only the Lady of the Demon Fortress could activate.
Aelia’s Skirt surged with star-like Light Spots, her voice falling like a hammer of judgment: "In the name of the Moonlight Goddess, I declare... the thirteenth hundredth matriarch of the Glorious Demon Fortress..."
Luna suddenly let out a drowsy yawn.
She loosened her grip on the hem of her dress, and the stardust left on her palm drifted down like fine powder.
Outside the window, the wisteria flowers suddenly bloomed all at once, and thousands of Light Sprites surged from the blossoms, spelling out ancient Elven Script on the charred carpet—truth witnessed by Natural Magic that could never be concealed by lies.
Aelia's fingers absentmindedly traced the edge of the Crystal Cup, while the Xingyue mural on the Banquet Hall Dome shimmered under the Magic Crystal Lamp, casting an eerie Silver Light.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Luna curled up in Qin Si's embrace, her pink little face illuminated and shadowed by the Crystal Chandelier, as if the entire starry sea was hidden within her infant Lan Tong.
"Madam, the Lord said he would be handling affairs in the East Tower tonight." Qin Si's voice was low and trembling, a chain of beads from her Wisteria Hairpin clinking softly as it fell.
Luna suddenly burst into laughter, her chubby little hands patting the Sapphire Zhui Zi on the maid's chest, as Dark Golden Patterns flickered across the surface of the gem.
When Leonard entered the banquet hall draped in Ye Lu, the Crystal Chandelier emitted a blinding red light.
The finger Luna had bitten quietly completed its final stroke on Qin Si's skirt, with Blood Pearl seeping into the Silver Thread embroidered shoes' purple Iris Pattern, causing a sudden tremor throughout the castle’s geomancy.
"Aelia, what are you doing?" Leonard's brows furrowed sharply, and the Golden Lion Emblem on his black Mink Cloak glowed with a Blood Light.
Behind him, the Knight's Leonard's Sword suddenly emitted a hum in unison, and black mist seeped from the Magic Core embedded in its hilt.
Luna reached up to grasp Brother San's flowing silver hair. In his astonished gaze, the Sealing Charm entwined around her hair tips shattered piece by piece.
The Twelve Constellations in the Dome Mural abruptly fell, intertwining above everyone's heads into a suffocating scene of Leonard's Last Night—Leonard was adorning his concubine with a Moonlight Rose exclusive to the royal capital, its Rose Emblem glowing dark purple against her collarbone.
The wine glass shattered with a loud bang, blood mingling with the Blood Wine, blooming into a tragic flower at the hem of the Skirt.
"How dare a mere illusion defame me, Lord!" As the Thunderstorm gathered at the tip of Leonard's wand, Luna suddenly let out a deafening Loud Cry.
Her Yin Ling resonated without wind, and the Dragon Crystal Stone on her brother's wheelchair armrest erupted with an Azure beam of light, devouring the Lightning Element entirely.
Just as the Chief Guard's sword was about to touch Luna's swaddling, the long-silent Contract Mark on Second Brother's wrist suddenly emerged as a blood-red totem.
The blade halted mere inches from baby Mei Xin, transforming into a shower of iron sand that fell like rain.
Luna grinned with her Lacrima, her small hand deftly catching the drifting Magic Core Fragment, as dark purple lightning morphed in her palm into a well-behaved Ying Huo.
"Father wants to kill Luna?" The Magic Tome in Brother San's arms suddenly flipped its pages on its own, and an Ancient Incantation transformed into Golden Chains that wrapped around Leonard's Scepter.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna pressed her blood-stained fingertip against Aelia's Mei Xin, as memories from her past life turned into a Star River Flow—visions of the prophesied Blood Wedding, the mixed-blood Magic Fetus soon to be born from Leonard's Concubine, and the horrific scenes of her three brothers' tragic deaths exploded within the lady's Awareness.
