The light spots cast by the Crystal Chandelier flickered on Luna's eyelashes.
She curled up in the silk swaddling adorned with the Star Pattern, inhaling the scent of Cedarwood Incense wafting from the Magic Castle Banquet Hall, mingled with the faint, decaying taste of Iron Rust.
Her three-month-old fingers pressed against the edge of the Lustrous Cradle, the Reversal Spell burning her palm red—just moments ago, as guests raised their glasses, she distinctly saw the Crimson Curse creeping up her Second Brother's Adam's Apple along the silver cutlery.
"Mother, look at the carpet." Luna formed her words into a secretive lullaby, and a light gold Magic Circle blossomed by Aelia's ear.
Aelia, adjusting the Qin Xian, paused slightly.
On the scarlet Woven Carpet, the Iris Pattern symbolizing glory writhed unnaturally, while dark green Black Slime seeped from the veins of Gold Thread Embroidery.
In Brother San's fallen Lucius, a purplish liquid bubbled and frothed ominously.
"Stop it, Luna." Aelia wrapped the Cradle in a Guardian Spell, her silver moon totem skirt radiating a soft glow. "The Magic Fortress Barrier was forged from Dragon Bone by the First Patriarch; these are merely..."
"A chronic Blood Curse." Luna suddenly grasped her Mother's dangling Pearl Necklace.
The milky luster reflected floating Dust in the air; what should have appeared as Light Gold Magic Particles had transformed into tiny skeletal shapes.
Aelia stood abruptly, twelve moonstone pendants jingling at her waist.
She waved her sleeve to scatter Detection Silver Powder; instead of adhering to the Barrier Rift, all of it seeped into the wall crevices of Dark Red Zhuan Shi.
Those foundational stones of the Magic Castle soaked in Dragon Blood were silently consuming the detection magic.
"Does your Guardian Totem on your neck stab painfully every time there's a Lunar Eclipse?" Luna manipulated a spell to draw a mandala in midair, twelve petals corresponding to the Magic Castle's Twelve Spires. "After Father reinforces the barrier each time, do your Brothers' magical powers inexplicably dissipate?"
Suddenly, the Piano Stool was overturned by magic, and Aelia stumbled to steady herself against the Colored Window.
She belatedly realized that the Eye of the Lineage Head Image on the Colored Window had turned towards the main castle without her noticing.
At the tip where the Bright Stone should have been embedded, a swirling black mist like Asphalt surged.
Luna's swaddling suddenly floated on its own, and the Reversal Spell projected the Blood Star Map onto the Dome.
Between the Light Spots representing the Magic Castle and the Energy Node, a Dark Red Dark Purple Thread was weaving into an Inverted Pentagram—clearly the embryonic form of the Black Witch Altar.
"You smell Cedar Fragrance mixed with corpse wax, and the Harp Sound conceals the wails of lost souls." The voice of the infant carried the weight of a millennia-old Great Mage. "When the last Node takes shape on Winter Solstice night, the souls of the Brothers will become the altar's kindling."
Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly snapped, and the round beads floated into an Astrological Compass.
As the third pearl was embedded in the position of "Disaster," the Glory Flag outside spontaneously ignited without warning.
The panicked footsteps of guards echoed from the corridor but fell into sudden silence as they approached the banquet hall—a viscous darkness was devouring all Sound Waves.
"Did Leonard take your Morning Dew Rose this morning?" Luna suddenly pointed to the wilted flower at Mother’s temple. "What clings to it isn’t Ye Lu; it’s a Dark Magic Potion mixed with Contractor’s blood."
Aelia trembled as she touched her hair, her Fingertip instantly corroded into Qing Yan.
She finally recalled how her husband had been returning home draped in frost and dew at dawn, often with his black robe hem stained by Phosphorescence from graveyard Ying Huo insects.
Even more terrifying was when Luna's talisman swept over her Leonard's Twenty Years Wedding Ring; the Ring Face and Family Crest twisted into a weeping demon's face.
A roar from a Pipe Organ echoed deep within the castle.
Luna's pupils constricted as she saw countless translucent Spell Chains emerging from Underground, hungrily wrapping around every passing Servant's ankles.
When the Head Maid passed by with a Silver Tray near a Colored Window, a demon Image on the glass suddenly extended its claws, branding her nape with a Curse Mark identical to Second Brother's.
"Mother, look!"
Luna suddenly poured all her magical power into the Reversal Spell.
The incantation transformed into a Gold Thread that pierced the wall, peeling away a section that was oozing blood from the Zhuan Shi.
In the Brick Gap, numerous shrunken human skulls were densely arranged, each skull's Crown of Heaven engraved with the birth runes of Lucius and his two brothers!
Aelia's Silver Moon Gown suddenly erupted with blinding light, and the Guardian Totem manifested a phoenix, Xu Ying, which crashed against the wall.
As the Demon Phoenix's claws tore through the fifth layer of disguise, everyone finally saw inside the Wall—thousands of Wraiths were encased in amber-colored magical gel, their sharp Ailya's White Nails just inches away from the Third Young Master's Bedroom wall!
"These undead are waiting for the moment the Blood Curse is completed," Luna's voice was as soft as a falling phoenix feather. "When the Brothers' magic is completely consumed, they will tear through the final barrier and drag the living Container into eternity..."
The sharp sound of Qin Xian breaking interrupted her words.
Aelia's Ailya's White Nails dug deep into her Palm, and where her blood dripped, the writhing Iris on the carpet suddenly let out a wailing cry like a baby's Loud Cry.
She finally became aware that every time her husband stroked their Children's heads, what flickered in his Dark Bag sleeves was not a father's Magic Radiance, but rather the Soul Devouring Stone imprisoning Wraiths.
From afar, the tower bells rang out, and Luna's Reversal Spell suddenly trembled violently.
The center of the incantation emerged with Leonard's figure—he was pouring some Purple Black Liquid into the Family Holy Grail in a secret chamber, and the lip print left on the Cup Rim matched exactly with what Aelia had found on her husband's collar this morning: Yan Zhi Hen.
Thick Hei Xue seeped from the Floor Tile Gap, and a nauseating gnawing sound surged from all directions.
Aelia's phoenix guardian spirit let out a mournful cry as its tail feathers were being slowly strangled by suddenly appearing Spellbinding Chains.
When Luna attempted to strengthen the incantation, the entire Magic Castle tilted fifteen degrees, and the Lineage Head Image hanging on the wall revealed a sinister grin.
"Go get the Three Young Masters..." Aelia's command was not yet finished when an earth-shattering Long Xiao erupted from the East Wing.
She had given the Eldest Son the Emerald Dragon Statue for his twentieth birthday, and now it was exploding in a magical frenzy.
The roar of the Emerald Dragon Statue swept through the East Wing Corridor, carrying with it a Magic Turbulence, causing the Crystal Chandelier to shake violently under the impact of the Black Magic Shockwave.
Luna's cradle was instantly reinforced threefold by Aelia's Guardian Spell. She saw the Celestial Chart on the ceiling oozing a liquid like asphalt, while murals depicting the changing seasons began to peel away, revealing stark white bones beneath.
"Mother!" Lucius burst through the Golden Gate of the banquet hall, his silver-gray hair tangled with emerald fragments. The Hemostasis Spell on his left arm was being eroded by some dark substance.
The usually elegant Third Young Master Lucius was now stained with blood, his Magic Robe marred, and more than half of the Elemental Crystal beads at his waist had shattered. "Brother's wheelchair has been dragged into the eye of the storm by Spellbinding Chains!"
Aelia's Silver Moon Gown suddenly burst forth with a halo of Twelve Rays, but as it touched the East Wing Barrier, it was consumed by a Crimson Curse.
She staggered to support Luna's cradle and noticed that the Moonstone Necklace given to her by her Eldest Daughter was growing hot—this was the very necklace Leonard had placed around her neck when he proposed before the Moon Goddess Statue twenty years ago.
"Brother San, be careful!" Luna suddenly cast a Reversal Spell, barely deflecting sharp crystals falling from the chandelier with a Gold Thread.
She noticed that Lucius's neck bore an Emerging Curse Mark identical to that on Second Brother's Adam's Apple. Those dark red patterns pulsed in rhythm with the Magic Castle's Zhen Chan, resembling blood vessels connecting to some evil heart.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wheels grinding over gravel in the corridor.
Eldest Brother maneuvered his wheelchair through the Magic Turbulence, where tentacles resembling rotting flesh coiled around what should have been an Elemental Crystal-inlaid armrest.
Above his disabled twin legs floated a shattered Astrolabe, while what should have been shining Xing Zi fell one after another into darkness.
"Mother, the Defensive Formation at West Tower..." Second Brother crashed into the door frame, supporting his bleeding forehead. The Intimate Friend Badge on his chest had split in two—an oath exchanged last year during the Winter Festival with Leonard, Royal Guard Captain.
Worms crawled out from the crack in the badge, ravenously gnawing at his Healing Spell.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings suddenly exploded into powder.
She trembled as she reached out to touch the Eldest Son's wheelchair, but the Guardian Magic crackled with a sizzling sound as it made contact with the rotting tentacles.
The family motto, "Glory Is My Life," carved into the wheelchair armrest, began to melt, dripping metallic liquid that formed the alluring face of the Outsider Woman.
"It’s the Bloodline Curse," Luna said, her lullaby voice wrapped in coldness. She manipulated the spell to cut open her brother's sleeve, revealing the writhing Black Curse beneath his skin. "These Curse Marks require the blood of Close Kin to activate. Father took the Morning Dew Rose this morning..."
"Impossible!" Lucius suddenly crushed the elemental crystal in his palm, sparks from the explosion casting shadows on his pale face. "Father took me to the Dragon Tomb last month to pay respects to our ancestors. He said the Magic Fortress Barrier..." His protest halted abruptly as Luna's spell reflected deep within his pupil—there, it mirrored Leonard and Leonard's Concubine secretly meeting in the cemetery on Leonard's Last Night.
Aelia's wedding ring let out a screech.
The demon face twisted from the ring's family crest exhaled purple-black smoke, forming a map of Leonard's movements from last night: at midnight, he retrieved the Soul Devouring Stone from the secret chamber; at ugly hours, he met with Leonard's Concubine in the cemetery's southeast corner; and at a quarter past the tiger hour, he poured a potion mixed with corpse oil into the Holy Grail...
"Mother, look!" Second Brother suddenly tore open his shirt; blood was seeping from the scar of his Intimate Friend Badge on his heart.
As Luna’s spell swept over the wound, it revealed Leonard and Royal Guard Captain trading with a Black Sorcerer at a tavern on Leonard's Last Night—the chronic antidote contained in Liuli Bottles was mixed into every month’s family dinner Blood Wine.
The Magic Castle suddenly tilted again, causing Brother San’s waist Element Bottle to explode one after another.
He hurriedly summoned magic to repair it but found that years of neglect had led to a decline in his Elemental Affinity.
Luna was quick to throw a reversal spell, pinning the Wraith that lunged for his neck against the wall—the Wraith’s face was eerily identical to that of their tutor who had taught him magic five years ago.
"Father gave me the Dragon Crystal Staff last month..." Eldest Brother suddenly tore open the wheelchair’s dark compartment and retrieved the staff embedded with black obsidian.
As Luna’s Purification Spell touched its surface, the disguised Soul Devouring Stones began to peel away, revealing a baby Unicorn Skeleton soaked in blood—these were indeed the twin embryos Aelia had miscarried twenty years ago.
Aelia's Silver Moon Gown suddenly ignited with pale flames as her phoenix guardian spirit was reborn in a mournful cry.
She drew forth the Wedding Oath Dagger hidden within her petticoat; crimson blood tears seeped from the heartstone embedded in its hilt.
As Luna's spell swept over the blade, memories of Leonard using this dagger to draw blood from Leonard's Concubine's wrist last night emerged.
"To the dungeon." Aelia's voice was as cold as ice, capable of freezing lava. She tore off her burning skirt, revealing her battle armor. "Leonard should be..." Before she could finish, the entire Magic Castle was suddenly engulfed in thick darkness, and the twelve Colored Windows in the banquet hall simultaneously reflected Leonard's figure.
Each reflection was engaged in different activities: kissing Leonard's Concubine, mixing an antidote, applying Yanzhi at the edge of the Holy Grail, and chanting curses at a baby Unicorn Skeleton...
Lucius suddenly covered his ears and fell to his knees; his Elemental Affinity was being forcefully extracted by some unseen power.
Luna's swaddling cloth flew to his side, forming a Light Cocoon from her Reversal Spell that barely protected him within a three-inch radius.
Under the glow of the spell, everyone was horrified to see the Third Young Master's shadow gradually transforming into the outline of an Outsider Woman.
"Mother, be careful!" The eldest brother's wheelchair suddenly launched chains that bound Aelia's ankles. His broken Astrolabe spun wildly. "Father buried something in your battle armor..." The warning morphed into a scream as a black hole opened above his twin legs, pulling him and his wheelchair into the void with countless curses and tentacles.
Aelia's battle armor erupted with a Moonlight Barrier but melted into silver Black Slime upon contact with the black hole.
She swiftly severed the chains, only to find that what poured out was not blood but the stench of asphalt—over the years, Leonard had claimed to have brought back a "healing potion" from Sanctuary, which had instead transformed Eldest Son into a half-human, half-Puppet monster.
"To the secret chamber!" Luna suddenly poured all her magical energy into her Wedding Ring, causing the demon face within to twist and scream in agony under the Strong Light.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace automatically reformed into a compass, its Pointer frantically directing towards the castle's Northeast Corner—where there should have been a family forbidden zone, yet now echoed with the Outsider Woman's lullaby.
As they broke through the seventh barrier, countless blood eyes suddenly opened on the corridor walls.
Luna's Reversal Spell tore open a passage amidst the pouring blood rain when Qin Si came running around the corner, holding Hemostatic Gauze. Her maid Yin Zhan was flashing an unusual red light...
Aelia's Leonard's Boots crushed through the final barrier, and the Demon Relief on the Secret Bronze Door suddenly opened real eyes.
Just as she swung her Wedding Oath Dagger to stab at the lock, Qin Si’s gasp and some ancient Magical Fluctuation surged from behind.
Aelia's Leonard's Boots came to a sudden halt just half an inch from the Bronze Door.
Qin Si stumbled and fell to her knees, while the maid Yin Zhan lay sprawled in a pool of blood, the Communication Crystal embedded in her hairpin glowing with an eerie red light—an unmistakable Magic Mark unique to Leonard's study.
"Madam, think twice!" Qin Si trembled as she clutched the blood-stained gauze. The Healing Spell lingering on the Fabric twisted abruptly into Thorns. "Three Days Ago, when I helped you organize the Dressing Table, I discovered that all the jewelry had been cursed with a Symbiotic Curse."
If we force the door open now... The maid's neck suddenly bore the Emerging Azure Purple Curse Mark, and her last words turned into painful sobs.
Luna's swaddling suddenly erupted with blinding Jin Mang.
The Reversal Spell transformed into a sharp arrow that pierced through Qin Si's Hair Bun, revealing a half-exposed Soul Devouring Insect among the shattered fragments of Yin Zhan.
Aelia gasped in shock; it dawned on her that her husband had "thoughtfully" replaced all the maids' Hair Ornaments last month.
"The Symbiotic Curse requires a living medium." Luna's Lullaby Voice wrapped around them with Coldness as the spell swept over Qin Si's bleeding Earlobe. "Father, did you reward her with rose honey tea this morning?"
Qin Si suddenly covered her mouth and coughed violently, black blood mixed with flower petals seeping between her fingers.
Lucius acted swiftly, casting an Ice Spell, but it was deflected by suddenly emerging Spellbinding Chains when it touched the maid’s thin shoulders—those chains bore patterns identical to those on his brother's wheelchair.
"Mother!" Lucius raised an elemental barrier to shield against the splattering Poisoned Blood. "Do you remember teaching me Astrology Divination when I was eight?"
A true hunter would never disturb its nest while a venomous snake coiled nearby. His waist-crushed Crystal suddenly floated into a fragmented Star Map, revealing three indistinct figures swaying behind the Secret Bronze Door.
Aelia's Wedding Oath Dagger emitted a Longyin-like Zhen Chan.
The Heartstone at the hilt cracked with fine lines, oozing Blood Pearls scented with Rose—this was the Holy Relic exchanged with Leonard on their wedding night twenty years ago for Heart's Blood Refining.
As Luna's spell brushed against the blade, the Blood Pearl suddenly exploded into mist, projecting within it a Dark Ritual taking place in the hidden chamber: Leonard poured an elixir mixed with Leonard's Concubine’s blood into the Holy Grail, and on the altar lay Aelia's Wedding Ring, lost during her difficult childbirth years ago.
"Step aside." Aelia's voice echoed as if it came from the depths of a glacier, and the Battle Armor's Gap seeped with Moon White Light Mist.
She swung her blade to sever the Spellbinding Chains that ensnared Qin Si, only to find the broken chains frantically absorbing the maid's life force. "Luna was right; every stone in this castle is soaked in lies."
Suddenly, Lucius crushed the last spark of fire within the Waist Elemental Crystal.
The exploding sparks formed a Warning Rune in the air: "Father deliberately sent away the East Wing Guard this morning; the gap in the West Tower's Defensive Formation was created by his own hand!" The young man tore open his blood-soaked collar, revealing that the Family Crest at his Collarbone was gradually transforming into the Outsider Family's Emblem. "If you ignite Jade and Stone Burn Together now, you will fall right into..."
"Enough!" Ailya's silver hair stirred without wind, and the Guardian Spell entwined within began to unravel.
She swung her blade toward the Bronze Door, but at the moment the Blade Edge touched the Demon Relief, the entire corridor plunged into a viscous darkness.
The floating Reversal Spell emitted a sound like tearing silk, casting a chilling reflection of Leonard's Last Night—each person's shadow morphed into the outline of an Outsider Woman, even Luna's swaddled shadow curled around a baby-shaped Wraith.
Qin Si suddenly let out an unearthly Screech.
From the maid's hollow eye sockets emerged fine Curse Tentacles, which frantically licked at the Bloodstain on the floor. "Doesn't my lady want to know why the Snow Leopard that saved your life ten years ago during Dong Lian suddenly went mad?" Her vocal cords had been altered by some force, producing an eerie blend of male and female tones. "That Moonstone Brooch you cherish most—does it not cry out like a baby each time it nears your Heart?"
Luna's swaddling suddenly shot forth Twelve Rays of Gold Thread.
The spell transformed into a cage that trapped the mutated Qin Si, but upon touching the maid's Crown of Heaven, it erupted with a familiar Magical Fluctuation—clearly Leonard's unique ice-thunder dual-element fusion technique.
Aelia felt as if struck by lightning; she suddenly recalled her husband personally guiding Qin Si through magical advancement last month.
"Mirror Spell." Luna's Reversal Spell abruptly redirected into the void, and Gold Thread sketched Leonard's Xu Ying in the darkness. "Father is watching us through Qin Si's eyes right now."
As if to validate this statement, Qin Si's shattered Pupil suddenly reflected a real-time view of a secret chamber: Leonard elegantly approached the altar holding the Holy Grail while an Outsider Woman dipped Aelia's Wedding Ring into Poisoned Blood.
At the moment the Cup Rim touched her lips, a heartbeat-like tremor surged through the foundation of the entire Magic Castle.
Lucius suddenly fell to his knees, the shards of the Elemental Crystal deeply embedded in his palm.
A torrent of ice and fire swirled around the boy, a precursor to the Magic Surge: "Mother... my Elemental Affinity... is being..."
Luna's swaddled form suddenly lifted into the air.
The infant bit her fingertip and drew an ancient Forbidden Spell in the void, blood coalescing into symbols that formed chains binding Lucius's wrist: "Brother San, quickly sever the connection with the Elemental Crystal!
Those crystals are mixed with Soul Devouring Sand!"
Aelia's Battle Armor emitted a sound of cracking under pressure.
The moonstone embedded in her Heart Shield erupted with ice cracks, each fissure oozing an asphalt-like substance—these Blessing gems from the Sanctuary were now violently rebounding against her Guardian Magic.
As the second moonstone shattered, she finally discerned the transfer spell array drawn with Invisible Ink on the inner layer of her armor, prominently signed at its center with Leonard's Flourished Signature.
"Mother, look above!" Luna suddenly channeled all her magic into her Wedding Ring.
With a scream from the Demon Relief, the Glory Family Crest on the ceiling began to melt into a vortex of flesh and blood.
Countless translucent ghostly arms reached out from the center of the vortex, each palm clutching an object imbued with Aelia's essence: a Combing Mirror, a Handkerchief, even the Calming Incense Candle she had extinguished last night.
The Demon Relief on the Bronze Door suddenly burst into laughter.
Sound Waves shattered the last few Magic Wall Lamps, and just before absolute darkness fell, everyone saw the Purple Black Liquid seeping from the Door Gap forming a malicious Curse Script—"With the blood of a wife, I offer to my new love."
Aelia's Silver Moon Armor finally disintegrated completely.
Barefoot, she stood on Hei Xue that drained magic power, but as the tip of her Wedding Oath Dagger touched the door lock, it abruptly changed direction and uncontrollably lunged toward her heart.
At a critical moment, Luna's Forbidden Spell collided with Lucius's Ice Shield, deflecting the Blade Edge just in time. The dagger plunged deep into the stone wall, and the Heartstone at its hilt shattered into dust.
The entire Magic Castle suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Thick darkness receded like a tide, and from the direction of the banquet hall came the melodious sound of a Harp.
Luna's Reversal Spell illuminated the suffocating scene of Leonard's Last Night: all the broken Curse began to Automatic Repair, the shattered Emerald Dragon Statue reassembling as if it had never been damaged, and even the Curse Mark on Qin Si's neck vanished without a trace— as if the life-and-death crisis moments ago had merely been a collective illusion.
"Cognitive pollution," Luna's Lullaby Voice wavered for the first time as she watched Aelia's Battle Armor fragments automatically return to her body. "Father has altered our perception of reality; now, aside from us, no one will remember..."
Lucius suddenly covered his mouth.
The boy was horrified to discover that the Family Crest on his Hand Back had transformed into an unfamiliar Evil Dragon Totem. When he looked up at his Mother, he saw that the Family Crest on Aelia's Wedding Ring had somehow reverted to a sacred Unicorn—only now, the Unicorn's sharp horn dripped with Hei Xue.
From deep within the Underground came dissonant notes from a Pipe Organ.
Luna suddenly coughed violently, Light Gold Magic Particles escaping from her body.
Aelia instinctively reached out to catch her daughter but felt a dizzying disorientation as she touched the swaddled infant—she clearly saw the baby transform into the twins that had been miscarried twenty years ago.
At that moment, shadows in the East Wing Corridor rippled unexpectedly.
A Magical Fluctuation that transcended comprehension surfaced like a colossal whale from the depths of the ocean, causing even the Curses undergoing Automatic Repair to come to a halt.
Luna's Reversal Spell was obliterated upon contact with this wave; the baby in her arms suddenly opened its eyes wide—this was the first time it showed shock since Luna's journey began. "Wah—"
Luna deliberately spat out her Crystal Pacifier onto the swaddled infant adorned with Defensive Magic Patterns. Her Light Purple eyes reflected the Magic Halo swirling within the Crystal Chandelier.
The light that should have shone silver like Xing Hui now glimmered with an eerie dark green at its edges.
The corrosion of Black Magic had indeed seeped into the Core Defense System.
She struggled to turn over, her chubby little hand pressing against the Magic Crystal Stone embedded in the wall.
The icy touch sent a dark current of Zhen Chan through her— the entire floating Magic Castle's Magic Circuit was emitting a mournful wail.
Three Days Ago, she had quietly modified the Guardian Spell while Aelia was patrolling the barrier, but now it was being overridden by a more powerful force.
"Is the young lady throwing another tantrum?" Qin Si entered with the Yao Zhan, and suddenly, the Detection Crystal on the Silver Tray burst into red light.
The Maid hurried to press the alarm bell, but was stunned by Luna's sudden Loud Cry.
Seizing the moment, Luna used her Fingertip hidden in her saliva cloth to draw a Silencing Spell, precisely erasing the dark mist that was forming within the crystal.
(This is bad; this body hasn't even fully developed its Magic Circuit...)
Luna felt a sharp pain in her Fingertip and looked up to see Qin Si's neck Family Crest Necklace starting to ooze Hei Xue.
That was the Guardian Mark bestowed by Aelia upon her personal Servant. At that moment, a fine crack appeared in the center of the inverted cross Emblem, revealing faint patterns of skeletal vines.
"Madam! Something has happened!" A panicked shout from Lucius came from outside.
The sound of a Wheelchair rolling over the Marble Floor grew closer. Luna saw her elder brother Pale gripping the armrests tightly, fresh blood staining the hem of his tattered Magic Robe—what should have been sealed, the Flame Rebound Curse, was now burning on his knee.
As Aelia burst into the room, shards from her Ice Crystal Crown fell like snowflakes.
Behind her followed her second brother, his face ashen. The handsome young man's face was marred by water-like cracks, each Gap bubbling with murky foam—the Blessing gifted by his dear friend had finally revealed its true form as a Soul Devouring Curse.
"Mother..." Brother San stumbled into the Door Frame, the shattered Astrolabe digging into his Palm.
The Stardust, symbols of talent, began to transform into writhing black worms, crawling out between his fingers. "The Magic Circle of Xi Tower... suddenly reversed..."
Aelia's trembling hand brushed against Luna's face, her meticulously maintained Ailya's White Nails suddenly fracturing to reveal the stark white bones beneath.
Luna's heart jolted—this was no ordinary Black Magic; it was a Forbidden Technique fused with a Bloodline Curse!
(Leonard actually used his own flesh and blood as a sacrifice...)
In a sudden burst of determination, Luna grasped Aelia's index finger and bit down hard, using all her strength to pierce her Fingertip.
As blood dripped onto the Silver Tray, Yao Zhi erupted, revealing a dense web of Mama's Curse.
The Magic Patterns entwined in Aelia's daily meals finally bared their fangs.
"Go to the dungeon." Aelia's voice was as cold as the iron of the far north as she tore apart the Moonstone Necklace that bound her Marriage Contract.
When the gemstone hit the ground, a Strong Light exploded, revealing Leonard and the Black Veil Woman locked in a kiss within the hidden chamber. Beneath them lay the operational Inverse Pentagram Formation.
The entire Magic Castle suddenly shook violently, while outside, the Eternal Night transformed into a blood waterfall cascading down.
Luna suddenly sensed an eerie disturbance emanating from Underground—it was not the aura of Black Magic; rather, it felt like... some ancient existence being awakened?
