Frost Mist swirled as Ice Wings folded, forming a delicate Spider Web on the surface of the Bronze Door. Aelia took a step back, her back colliding with the Gilded Candelabra, startling three Moonlight Butterflies into flight.
Creatures that should have been resting in the dark were now inscribing a Curse in the air with Phosphor Dust, and suddenly, the Crescent Scar on her neck burned with intensity.
"Madam!" Qin Si burst through the Side Door, cradling a cup of Calming Tea. The liquid splashed onto the Persian Carpet as the teacup shattered, releasing a plume of Purple Smoke.
Before the Maid could reach Aelia's Skirt, an invisible force knocked her over, and she struck her head against the Gilded Door Frame, losing consciousness.
The Enamel Colored Windows of the side hall simultaneously crystallized with Bing Hua, while the suspended Lineage Head Image collectively turned toward the wall.
Luna's Loud Cry shattered the Ice Crystal Barrier, carrying with it a Magic Pattern that sent a floating Magic Crystal Cluster crashing through the broken window.
The chubby Palm of the infant struck the surface of the crystal, refracting a seven-colored Halo that dispelled the ghostly blue Ghost Fire that had been gnawing at Aelia's hair.
The Lady of the Fortress stumbled and fell into the Malachite Carved Floral Chair. Her Ice Fire Wings folded into a translucent Holy Light Shield, but the Thorned Totem flickered violently, shedding two pieces of Bing Ling.
"You carry his Soul Bond Spell," Luna's voice resonated with a childlike tone through Magic Resonance. The Crystal Cluster spun around her, forming an Astrological Array. "The Wraith capable of devouring Moonlight Butterflies has accumulated at least a century of cultivation."
Aelia was still recovering from her drained magic when she suddenly caught sight of a crystal reflection behind Luna—within the cracked mirror, a translucent figure dressed in a maid uniform from Twenty Years Ago was reaching toward the infant’s neck with a decaying Fingertip.
She toppled over the ornate chair and lunged forward, creating a whirlwind with her Ice Wings that extinguished all twelve Wall Lamps. "Behind you!"
The Wraith's decayed half-face was illuminated by ice crystals, revealing every detail; maggots fell from its hollow eye sockets.
The Secret Silver Chain wrapped around its neck shared origins with the coating beneath Leonard's Image. Its rotting throat emitted a sticky echo: "At last, we have found the body of Ice and Fire..." Its corpse-stained hand pierced Aelia's Holy Light Shield, and its miasma triggered a sudden glow from the Defensive Magic Pattern on Luna's Swaddling.
The Crystal Cluster exploded violently, countless Prism Shards coalescing in midair to form a Vine Cage.
The left hand of the Wraith, scorched by the Strong Light, instantly regenerated, and the broken Secret Silver Chain suddenly straightened, pointing towards Aelia's Heart. "Do you smell it? The magic power you've compressed over Twenty Years is awakening the Underground Blood Array..." Its decaying body suddenly emerged with fine Curses, resonating with the Thorned Totem on Aelia's Wing.
Luna's Pupil shimmered with Lustrous Gold as she recognized that those Curses were the Forbidden Technique from the original text that led to Third Young Master Lucius's fall into darkness.
The infant bit her Fingertip and flicked a Blood Pearl towards the Vine Cage, the Blood Mist infused with Great Mage Soul Power burning around the Wraith, leaving Scorch Marks. "How many Living Person Sacrifices did Leonard use to create this monster?"
The Wraith suddenly let out a piercing laugh, its broken form reassembling into that of a beautiful woman amidst the Blood Mist.
She caressed the Crescent Scar on her Neck, identical to Aelia's, as the Secret Silver Chain clinked. "Good sister, do you think it was Twenty Years Ago that someone bore the backlash of the fallen star for him?" Suddenly, a blood-colored magic array emerged from the Ice Crystal Ground, and Aelia's compressed magic sphere uncontrollably burst forth from her Heart.
Luna's swaddling was lifted by the air currents of the magic array as she turned and grasped the falling Bing Ling.
At the moment when Aelia's Ice Fire Magic was about to collide with the Wraith's Secret Silver Chain, Luna stabbed Bing Ling into her Mei Xin. The essence of Soul Power belonging to the Great Mage pierced through Wu Yun like a rising sun—entirely awakening the Moonlight Butterfly Specimens in the side hall, as truths soaked in blood from A Hundred Years Ago were about to Tear apart the foundation of the Magic Castle.
The Wraith recoiled in fear, its form twisting in Strong Light, but its disintegrating Fingertip suddenly shot out three Secret Silver Needles.
Aelia's Ice Wings instinctively wrapped around Luna but failed to notice that ice crystals forming in her hair were Emerging from Leonard's Family Crest—those fine needles were captured by an even older Magic Emblem just as they touched the infant's swaddling, transforming into Xing Xu and sinking into Luna's slowly opening Liujin depths.
The Crystal Cage emitted a brittle sound like shattering glass in Strong Light, while Luna was enveloped in a Golden Halo that condensed the drifting Phosphor Dust into a Star Map.
The rotting Skirt of the Wraith touched the edge of the Halo and instantly ignited with Qing Yan, emitting a sizzling sound as flesh burned.
Its mangled left ear suddenly fell off, transforming mid-air into dark green pus that dripped down but was swept away before it could touch the infant’s swaddling by a whirlwind stirred up by the Moonlight Butterfly Specimens.
"Great Mage's Guardian Spell!" The Wraith screeched as it crashed into the Enamel Colored Window, rotting flesh leaving charred marks on the painted Saint figure.
Its disintegrating Spirit flickered wildly between the twelve Colored Windows, each teleportation leaving bloody handprints on the glass. "This is impossible... The Holy Spirit Era has long since ended..."
Luna's chubby Palm pressed against the Ice Crystal Ground, golden Jin Wen spreading through her fingers to form a Hexagram Formation.
When the seventh Moonlight Butterfly Specimen shattered against the Wraith's chest, the infant suddenly opened her mouth to emit an Ethereal Chant—this was a Lullaby marked by Aelia in the Childcare Manual, now infused with the oppressive force of an ancient Forbidden Spell.
The Wraith's neck was severed by the Secret Silver Chain, a half-ring ricocheting onto Leonard's Image, scorching the Gold Dust in the Oil Paint to Ashes.
Aelia felt a sharp pain as the Thorned Totem on her Ice Wings pierced her Collarbone; through the agony, she saw the Dark Pattern flashing at the broken chain's end: "This is... the Brand of the Star Oath..." The Lady of the Fortress staggered to support herself against the Malachite Chair, fragments of memories from her wedding night twenty years ago flooding her mind—Leonard pressing a bloodied Wedding Ring against her Neck while moonlight filtered through the Secret Silver Chain, casting similar patterns on the Canopy.
The Wraith's wail interrupted her recollections.
The disintegrating Spirit fragments were trapped within the Dome by the Hexagram Formation, writhing like insects caught in Amber.
Luna tugged at Qin Si's Pi Bo and unsteadily stood up, while infant Mei Xin's Blood Pearl floated into a Scepter shape. "Now we can talk about how Leonard turned a Living Person into a Wraith Puppet?"
Suddenly, the Crystal Cage shook violently, and the disintegrating Spirit reformed into a Beautiful Maid.
Her decaying Fingertip brushed over her Neck and Crescent Scar, as the Secret Silver Chain coiled around Aelia's ankle like a living snake: "Twenty Years Ago at the Winter Moon Festival, Lord said we needed Ice and Fire Convergence to suppress Geothermal Disturbance..." The Wraith's Pupil split into Compound Eyes, each fragment reflecting different scenes from Leonard's Last Night—Leonard placing a Wedding Ring on a girl's unnamed finger but branding her Spine with a Forbidden Rune during their kiss.
Luna's Scepter struck the Ice Surface with sudden force, sending shockwaves that shattered the ice crystals in Aelia's hair into Powder.
The infant watched as falling crystal powder formed a Family Crest in midair; her Baby Voice carried an unsettling Coldness: "So he tricked you all into the Crypt as Live Sacrifices and used Star Oath to redirect backlash?"
Blood seeped from the Wraith's Skirt, and countless skeletal Palms erupted from the Earth Rift throughout the entire side hall.
The fingers were adorned with rings identical to Aelia's Wedding Ring, producing a harsh sound as they scraped against the ground. "We wailed in the blood array for thirty-three days, until our hair burned to ashes in the surge of magic..." Suddenly, it tore open its clothing to reveal its chest—where a heart should be, there throbbed a miniature Magic Castle Model.
Aelia's Ice Wings erupted with a thunderous sound, yet the ice spikes at the tips of her wings could not be unleashed.
Her trembling fingertip brushed over the scar on her neck, and she finally recalled how Leonard would always produce an eerie clinking of chains whenever he touched this spot: "So all these years, the Dark Aura leaking from the Crypt..."
"Is your Lullaby, my lady." The Wraith suddenly revealed its white teeth, its decaying vocal cords squeezing out Ailiya's Laughter.
Its shattered Spirit lunged toward Luna but was pierced by the Scepter just a second before it could reach the infant.
Golden light infused with Great Mage Soul Power spread along the cracks, forcibly stripping away those tainted memories.
Luna stepped onto the falling ice crystals and approached the Wraith. The light orb at the tip of her Scepter reflected the Blood Altar deep within the Crypt.
The infant suddenly reached out to press against the Thorned Totem on Aelia's Ice Wings, her Lullaby Voice wrapped in an ancient authority: "At the time of Ming Wan Yue Shi, I want to see all vessels of Forbidden Technique Contracts."
The Wraith's disintegrating pupil suddenly constricted as it struggled to gaze toward the Lord's Study at the end of the corridor.
The Secret Silver Chain melted into liquid under the Strong Light, dripping onto the ground and corroding a charred Family Crest.
As the last trace of Dark Aura was consumed by the Moonlight Butterfly Specimen, Luna abruptly turned to Aelia's trembling Wedding Ring—the Gold Dust smeared upon it resonated eerily with the Ashes drifting from the Image Chamber.
Luna's Liujin reflected a ground covered in Mithril Remains. The infant's short, loud cry suddenly transformed into Qing Yue Spell.
Shattered Crystal Fragments rose from the carpet's gap, intertwining with Phosphor Dust from the Moonlight Butterfly Specimen to form a hollow vessel.
The Wraith's reformed beautiful visage emerged in terror as its fragmented skirt suddenly split into dozens of tendrils of black mist, fleeing in different directions toward twelve Enamel Colored Windows.
"With blood as the contract, seal!" The infant girl bit her fingertip, drawing three overlapping rings in the void, each blood mark precisely severing a wisp of black mist.
The Malachite ground emerged as the Ancient Magic Rune climbed up the hollow bottle, forcibly compressing the dissipating spirit into a dark green liquid.
The Wraith's final struggle screeched, shattering the Liuli Lantern in the corner, while a Magic Pearl soaked in Rose Wine rolled to Aelia's feet, suddenly reflecting the image of girls from twenty years ago pierced by chains at their collarbones within the Underground Blood Array.
The Lady of the Fortress staggered to support herself against the Gilded Candelabra, as a Thorned Totem on her Ice Wings suddenly pierced her shoulder blade, blooming blood on her Peacock Blue gown.
She saw Luna tiptoeing to press the Magic Bottle against the bleeding totem; from within the swirling dark green liquid emerged the Brand of the Star Oath—perfectly overlapping with the Emblem inside Leonard's Wedding Ring.
"He transferred the backlash to three hundred sacrifices using the Star Oath." Luna's Lullaby Voice wrapped around an Ice Shard, her chubby palm suddenly penetrating the surface of the Magic Bottle, pulling out half of a Secret Silver Chain from the boiling liquid. "Each chain connects to a focal point of the Underground Blood Array; Lady Necks' Crescent Scar is the hub of that array."
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly burst with heat, and the moonstone set in its face cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.
Her trembling fingertip brushed over the flickering Dark Pattern at the chain's break, memories of her wedding night gnawing at her heart like a venomous snake—when Leonard slid the Wedding Ring onto her ring finger, the Mithril base had once pierced her fingertip.
The Blood Pearls that had seeped into the gem were now coalescing into a shrunken visage of a Wraith within the cracks.
"The root of Third Young Master Lucius's fall into darkness lies here." Luna suddenly threw the Magic Bottle into the air, its body spinning to project a three-dimensional image of a Crypt.
In the center of the Blood Altar floated an Infant Swaddling wrapped in silk-like black gas; Aelia recognized that very silk as what she had embroidered for Lucius as his Birthday Gift years ago.
The infant's Scepter Xu Ying jabbed at the base of the altar, revealing three hundred Crystal Coffins buried deep beneath the foundation of Magic Castle. "Leonard used your legitimate son's innate spirit as a focal point and sealed it with your Star Oath."
Qin Si's groans upon awakening shattered the suffocating silence.
A Maid stood up, propping herself against the Door Frame; a Zhen Zhu Bu Yao woven into her Hair Bun suddenly snapped, and rolling pearls fell to form star patterns on the ground.
Luna suddenly turned her gaze toward the end of the corridor, where the liquid in the Magic Bottle was boiling, pointing towards the Library of Hidden Books—where a panoramic map of the Magic Castle, hand-drawn by Leonard, hung on the wall.
"Before Ming Ye Yue Shi, please prepare three items, my lady." The swaddling cloth around Luna stirred without wind, and the floating Magic Bottle fell into Qin Si's trembling palm.
The infant Mei Xin's Scepter, made of Blood Pearl, suddenly pointed at Aelia's Heart. Blood Pearl seeping from her Ice Wings formed Lucius's Birth Rune in the void. "The swaddling cloth you personally embroidered for Third Young Master Lucius, the Astrolabe from the third row of Lord's Study, and..."
Suddenly, a violent Zhen Chan shook the floor, causing all Mithril Remains to vaporize into Purple Smoke.
Aelia's Wedding Ring automatically slipped off and hovered in mid-air, revealing the date of Lucius's Full Moon Feast on the inner side of the ring.
As the smoke coalesced into Leonard's Xu Ying, Luna opened her mouth and unleashed a screech that shattered Xu Ying—a sound that belonged to an adult Great Mage, Ailya's Roar, which incinerated all the black mold growing in the wall crevices to ashes.
"And your transferred Firstborn Tears." Luna's final words dissipated in the Sound Wave created by the Moonlight Butterfly's fluttering wings.
The infant curled up in Qin Si's arms and fell into a deep sleep, while the ice crystals forming on her eyelashes reflected a terrifying sight: three hundred Crystal Coffins on the Underground Altar opening their eyes simultaneously during Leonard's Last Night.
Aelia picked up the Wedding Ring that had rolled to her feet and discovered liquid seeping from a crack in the moonstone, emitting an aroma identical to that of the Wraith in the Magic Bottle—a scent reminiscent of Rotten Rose.
The Canary Wing of the Moonlight Butterfly Specimen suddenly covered all Window Lattices, piecing together a massive blood Formation Diagram on the Outer Wall of the Magic Castle.
The ice crystals crushed by the Lady of the Fortress drifted from her fingers; each grain burned a Brand of Star Oath into the carpet—those magical traces that should have belonged to Leonard were now resonating strangely with the Thorn on her Ice Wings.
