The Crystal Chandelier emitted a faint, fragmented wail as the Ancient Contract Array beneath Leonard's feet suddenly erupted with Blood Red light.
Aelia's Pearl Light Blade was rebounded into Xing Xu. As she staggered backward, Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch abruptly hovered in midair, and the Twelve Rays Xing Gong Projection sliced the entire banquet hall into chessboard-like fragments.
"Father has activated the Bloodline Judgment Procedure." Brother San's wand traced an Ice Crystal Trajectory on the ground, and those Peacock Stone Tiles, eroded by Lucius's sleeve's Zijinjie, began to ooze dark green Blue Blood Fern Juice. "It seems you buried quite a few contingencies in the Contract Flaw when you swore your oath back then?"
Luna's Loud Cry, entwined with the great Mage Mark's Golden Ripple, caused the Magic Thorn wrapped around her elder brother's Twin Legs to suddenly change direction and shoot toward the Contract Array beneath Leonard's feet.
The Curse Fragment lingering at Second Brother's neck coalesced into a mirror under the Blood Light, reflecting a scene from Seventeen Years Ago—a moonlit night where the Young Lord placed two wedding rings embedded with black Obsidian on Aelia and another woman shrouded in mist.
"So it turns out that the Abyssal Eye's Witness Ceremony requires double sacrifices." Aelia, her Fingertip entwined with the Silver Thread peeled from the Contract Array, discovered that the other end of those Dark Purple Threads connected to the long-sealed Rose Tower on the castle's West Side. "No wonder you personally check the barrier every year during Midsummer Night."
Leonard's Scepter struck heavily against the ground, causing twelve Bronze Candlesticks to explode in response.
The splattered Wax crystallized in midair into thirty-seven Miniature Knight Statues, forcing Lucius, who attempted to approach the Contract Array, back against a Carved Pillar. "The Glorious Demon Fortress does not need a Wasteful Heir." His cold gaze swept over his three sons before finally settling on Lucius's Family Crest, askew on his lapel. "Especially one who can't even master Basic Element Summoning..."
Before he finished speaking, Lucius suddenly reached out and tore off that badge.
The Magic Crystal embedded in the center of Silver Iris rolled to the ground, and as he inadvertently stepped on it and shattered it, the Celestial Chart of the Banquet Hall Dome abruptly extinguished.
In the darkness, eerie blue vines burst through the walls, twisting and shredding all of Leonard’s summoned Wax Knights into Powder.
"Father hasn't noticed?" Lucius leisurely wiped away the Wax staining his Fingertip. The purple Thorn Pattern on his sleeve glowed with an eerie luminescence in the dark. "In all these years, I haven't even used one-tenth of the power from your Magic Course guidance."
Aelia suddenly pressed her hand against her violently heaving chest; Leonard’s Moonstone Necklace was absorbing energy overflowing from the Contract Array.
As the twenty-third gem turned Dark Red, a deafening collapse echoed from the direction of West Side’s Rose Tower.
Luna’s Golden Mark on her forehead suddenly projected a Holographic Map, revealing that buried three hundred feet beneath the castle was another building perfectly symmetrical to Rose Tower.
"Twinborn Pact..." The ancient magic rune on the wheelchair suddenly spoke as it awakened. Its withered Twin Legs absorbed the eerie blue energy transmitted by the Magic Thorn. "Father split the castle's lifeline with mirror magic; the Light Altar of Xi Tower and the Dark Altar of East Tower must operate simultaneously."
The Amethyst atop Leonard's Staff began to crack, and a Curse Pattern resembling that of Second Brother emerged on his neck, forming a pattern of double Wedding Rings. "Shut up!" He swung his staff, shattering Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch. The scattered gears automatically reassembled into two exquisite Mechanical Wedding Rings. "The heir of the Glorious Demon Fortress only needs absolute obedience..."
"Just like you obey the call of desire?" Aelia tore apart her Moonstone Necklace, and the falling gem pieced together Leonard's Last Night at the top of the Rose Tower—on a grooming table entwined with Rose Vines, two sets of pure gold Longevity Locks for infants lay side by side.
Luna suddenly emitted a piercing Loud Cry. The wax figure fragments destroyed by Lucius floated up, rearranging themselves on the cursed mirror remnants left by Second Brother.
As the seventh fragment returned to its place, an overwhelming vision of Leonard's Last Night emerged in the mirror: on the eve of a wedding twenty years ago, Leonard pressed another woman's right hand onto the center of the Contract Array in front of the Dark Altar.
"Father actually modified the contract rules of the Abyssal Eye!” Brother San caught a falling Mechanical Wedding Ring, which automatically slipped onto his pinky and began to reverse rotation. "Using the souls of two brides as collateral, no wonder the Contract Array split into light and dark Shuang Sheng..."
Lucius suddenly chuckled, his purple Thorn Pattern spreading to his neck, blooming into a dark purple Abyssal Eye at his collarbone. "Aunt's time-space mark awakened three years earlier than expected." He leaned down and poked Luna's golden-glowing hand back, his voice as soft as a snake's hiss. "I buried my Soul-Eating Mushroom beneath the foundation of the Rose Tower, but it didn’t have time to mature..."
The castle shook violently again, and the east wall of the banquet hall collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Through the swirling dust, one could see a spire completely constructed from Purple Black Crystal, standing in symmetrical opposition to the Rose Tower.
On top of the tower, a flag fluttered, embroidered with a shattered Amethyst totem identical to that atop Leonard's Staff.
Aelia's skirt was torn to shreds by an energy storm, revealing seventeen bleeding Contract Backlash Marks on her calves. "So every year when I receive purple roses for my birthday from Ailya's Birthday Rune, their roots have been soaked in oil from the corpses at the Dark Altar?" Her bloodied fingertip traced out a Dispel Rune, causing glass-shattering sounds from the top of the Xi Tower.
Luna suddenly grasped Lucius's cascading silver hair, her palm bursting forth with golden light that incinerated all remnants of his sleeve’s Zijinjie.
As the last wisp of dark purple ashes fell, an excruciatingly sharp sound of crystal shattering echoed from the direction of the East Tower. The purple black crystals that formed its structure were visibly crawling with spiderweb-like cracks.
While everyone remained stunned in shock, no one noticed that Qin Si had quietly retreated behind the tattered curtains of the banquet hall.
Her treasured Parchment was burning hot, revealing a Memory Frame from a rainy night five years ago: Lucius trembled as he stuffed the forged Magic Power Assessment Scroll into the gilded file box of the Academy Mentor.
The top of the Scepter suddenly formed a ring with a purple Crystal Fragment, and the double Wedding Ring around Leonard's neck glowed with Blood Light.
As the seventh surge of magic struck the Dark Compartment, the Pupil of the Abyssal Eye abruptly reversed direction, refracting Lord's own Wedding Ring Projection onto the Metal Surface—inside that ring, inlaid with black Obsidian, were two intertwined initials engraved.
"So you never realized..." Lucius's Fingertip brushed against the asphalt-like substance oozing from the Heart, as the missing Magic Eye totem began to reassemble into a more sinister form. "The Abyss Contract has never recognized marriage; it only acknowledges Bloodline Fraud."
The Dark Compartment suddenly dissolved into Liquid under the Projection of the double Wedding Ring. At that moment, a penetrating Loud Cry from Luna echoed from the banquet hall.
It was a hexagonal purple Crystal Cultivation Dish, inside which floated a miniature version of Lucius's embryo—connected not by a placenta but by Puppet Strings entwined with Zijinjie.
Leonard's Staff slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground; his Bloodshot eyes were nearly pressed against the surface of the cultivation dish.
The forged Magic Pattern on the embryo's forehead was peeling away, revealing dense Mama's Contract tampering runes beneath.
Seventeen Years Ago, Leonard's Last Night at the Dark Altar suddenly replayed in his retina: when he pressed the hand of the woman in the mist against the Contract Array, Puppet Strings had already pierced her protruding abdomen.
"When you created a perfect Heir using Puppet Technique, did you ever think to check the purity of their Bloodline?" Lucius suddenly tore open his shirt, and beneath the missing Magic Eye totem emerged the Puppet Master Brand. "After all, in your heart, an obedient Puppet is more..."
Lord's withered Palm suddenly plunged into the cultivation dish but was rebuffed upon touching the Puppet Strings.
The Amethyst Prism shattered with Shan Na; suddenly, the pattern of his Wedding Ring around his neck constricted into a noose, tightening until his throat made a sound on the verge of breaking.
From the direction of the East Tower came a Roar as its foundation collapsed; the Contract Backup Scroll he had buried at its base was now erupting as purple Ashes from an Earth Rift.
Luna's Golden Mark suddenly projected onto the bedroom wall, reassembling fragments of the cultivation dish into a holographic image.
Five-year-old Lucius, under the control of Puppet Strings, modified the Magic Power Assessment Scroll with the Purple Thorn Potion. At twelve, he practiced smiling into the void, his eyes flickering with a fire of Contract that did not belong to humanity.
Leonard knelt amidst the chaos, oblivious to the Staff Fragment embedded in his knee.
Trembling, he lifted the blood-stained Puppet Strings. The Dark Purple Thread activated upon touching his skin, wrapping around his Wrist Bone and drilling into his Bloodline—resonating with the Puppet Technique he had wielded twenty years ago to manipulate the Marriage Contract.
"Father always said magic is truth." Lucius's broken body began to turn transparent, his Heart and Magic Eye transforming into a black hole that devoured light. "Then you should rejoice; I have inherited your most cherished talent for deception..."
Suddenly, the castle tilted at a fifteen-degree angle as Aelia's Aelia's Moonlight Compass burst through the bedroom door.
Luna was thrown onto the velvet Canopy by the Magic Turbulence, her small hand pressing against a metallic object that had rolled beneath the bed—it was half of a Wedding Ring engraved with the surname of a woman shrouded in mist, its edge still carrying the distinct Sulfur Smell of a Contract Array.
Leonard vomited Hei Xue mixed with fragments of his own insides as magic backlash surged through him. He struggled to reach for the half Wedding Ring in Luna's hand, but froze just as his Fingertip was about to make contact.
In Lord's murky Pupil reflected the final scene of Xita Bright Altar collapsing—the Oath Stone Tablet at the altar's center bore two marriage Ke Hen that gnawed at each other like living serpents.
Luna clutched the Wedding Ring in her palm, laughing joyfully as the Golden Mark projected enlarged Contract Patterns onto the Canopy.
Aelia's Moonstone Necklace suddenly emitted a sharp Buzzing sound; remnants of Tracking Magic gathered into a vague outline of Lucius on the surface of the Wedding Ring.
From deep within the castle's foundation came the last sigh of Abyssal Eye. Amidst the Magic Dust stirred by the complete collapse of the twin towers, only that half Wedding Ring glowed ominously with Blood Light in Luna's Palm.
