Aelia's fingertips brushed against the Ice Cracks on the inner side of the Ring, a deep blue Halo dancing on her trembling eyelashes.
The Projection of the Laurel Blossom Sealing Array spread from the collar of her Battle Robe across the entire Crystal Wall, revealing the winding Secret Passage on the sixteenth level of the Magic Castle—three newly appeared Golden Patterns perfectly aligned with the direction of the Gold Thread standing tall on Luna's Swaddling.
"Madam!" Qin Si burst through the secret chamber door, as magical debris from Xing Xu fell in a flurry. "The Geomancy Gargoyles of the North Tower have collectively betrayed us; they are... gnawing at the Projection of Aurora City’s map!"
Luna, swaddled in her blanket, suddenly let out a Giggling sound, causing the needle-like Gold Threads to abruptly soften and slip into the collapsing Wall through the Floor Tile Gap.
At that moment, as Aelia lifted the baby, the Ice Cracks on the Ring suddenly pierced into her Palm, and the Curse sealing Lucius's rampaging Bloodline from ten years ago slithered into her mind like a living snake.
When Leonard kicked open the secret chamber door, he was met with a floating Sheepskin Diary spewing black mist.
The Dark Gold Griffin Pattern embroidered on his sleeve suddenly heated up—that was the Guardian Spell sewn by Leonard's Concubine, Maggie—and within the black mist emerged an illusion of him kissing Maggie's Earlobe last night at Emerald Manor.
"My dear, this diary..." He raised his hand to grasp the floating book, but his Fingertip passed through the black mist and touched a chilling Memory Fragment.
In that illusion, his twenty-year-old self was stuffing a bloodied Marriage Contract into a Dark Compartment, a token clutched by Aelia's younger sister before her death.
Aelia took a step back and knocked over a moonstone lamp stand; suddenly, the Laurel Pattern on her Battle Robe surged forth, forcing Leonard back against the wall.
She stared at the looping scenes of betrayal within the black mist and abruptly tore open the Infant Swaddling—Luna's Heart Emerging Hexagram Birthmark matched perfectly with the burn marks on the Cover of the Sheepskin Diary.
"Three Hours Ago you told me you were patrolling the borders." Her voice was like a blade tempered in ice as Laurel Branches shot out from beneath her Battle Robe to ensnare Leonard's ankles. "But Lucius's Grimoire shows you are covered in Nightfire Butterfly Scale Powder unique to Emerald Manor."
Suddenly, Luna reached out and grasped a drifting Frost Flower; as everyone gasped, the Ice Crystal Arrow redirected and plunged fiercely into Leonard's right hand where his Griffin Ring lay.
At that moment when the Ring Face exploded, dozens of Gold Threads erupted from the Floor Tile Gap, weaving together a complete picture of truth from the swirling black mist—including the true reason behind his elder brother’s encounter with Magic Backlash twenty years ago.
"The magic stabilizer Father gave me back then..." Leonard's elder brother suddenly coughed violently in his Wheelchair, crushing the armrest with his Mechanical Prosthetic. "The ingredient list in column three has been altered!"
Leonard's body erupted with a Crimson Magic Shield, but he was horrified to find that the Gold Thread was consuming his power.
For the first time, he looked at Aelia with pleading eyes. "Those are necessary sacrifices; the Magic Castle needs..." His defense was abruptly interrupted by the suddenly cracking ceiling, as ancient runes from the Frost Dragon Clan crawled along the walls through the fissures.
Aelia handed Luna to the rushing Lucius, her Battle Robe transforming into Silver Armor that covered her entire body.
She crushed the moonstone scattered across the floor, and the splintered crystal dust coalesced in the air into a Judgment Sword. "Necessary enough to make my sister die in my place on the altar? Necessary enough to turn your sons into living seals?"
The Magic Castle suddenly shook violently, and Luna's hand, gripping Lucius's collar, glowed with a Red Glow.
The Gold Thread that had burrowed into the walls began to frantically restructure the building. The Nightlight Vine, which had been dead for ten years in Second Brother's window, suddenly bloomed, its petals forming a Blood Arrow aimed directly at the Calming Incense Burner sent by his dear friend. In Brother San's room, a mountain of Magic Talent Test Scrolls spontaneously ignited without fire, revealing tampered grading marks among the Ashes.
Leonard suddenly tore through a Space Rift but collided with his paralyzed older brother, who pulled out a Dragonbone Staff from his Wheelchair in the Dark Compartment.
The scars left by Magic Backlash were coursing beneath his skin like awakening Dragon Veins.
"Father," Luna, nestled in Lucius's arms, suddenly let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling. The Blood Pearl seeping from her Mei Xin traced a blood-red Blood Arrow in the air under the pull of the Gold Thread. "Do you hear the cries of the Defensive Formation? Those are the Three Thousand Vengeful Spirits buried beneath Aurora City by you—"
The entire Magic Castle tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, causing everyone to crash against Shan Na at the Crystal Wall. Luna subtly curled her pinky finger; a strand of Gold Thread slipped into Second Brother's Contract Ring, another wrapped around Brother San's bedside copy of Magic Talent Misconception Analysis, and the last one snaked along her brother's Mechanical Prosthetic into the Dark Compartment, pushing out a Potion Bottle glowing with Youguang.
Moonlight suddenly pierced through the collapsing Dome, and a roar of breaking chains echoed from deep within the Magic Castle.
Aelia's Judgment Sword hovered just inches from Leonard's throat while behind her, all three sons' rooms lit up with different colors of Magic Flame—Crimson, ethereal blue, and brilliant gold. The intertwining Magic Radiance illuminated through the shattered walls, casting light on the Soul Crystal Vein distribution map suspended in mid-air.
In that moment of tilt, the elder brother's wheelchair was lifted by the Gold Thread, suspended in mid-air.
His scarred fingers gripped the Dragonbone Staff tightly, sparks erupting from the joints of his Mechanical Prosthetic—remnants of the Curse Mark left by the backlash twenty years ago, now writhing under the staff's glow as if alive.
"The key to breaking the curse has always been with Ankeli." His raspy voice carried the weight of Longyin, as the Mechanical Prosthetic suddenly opened a hidden compartment, and a Potion Bottle rolled out, exploding into a purple mist at the tip of the staff.
Those Black Curses that roamed within his Blood Vessels suddenly screeched out through his pores, coalescing in the mist into a modified Manuscript by Leonard.
As Second Brother crashed into the circular Library of Hidden Books filled with ancient tomes, a Gilded Incense Burner gifted by a close friend tumbled from the shelf.
Petals of Nightlight Vine pierced through the Colored Glazed Window, branding his Hand Back with the shape of a Contract Mark.
When the first petal sank into the Gap of the incense burner, Shan Na, the Azure Bronze Beast Head suddenly expelled indigo Qing Yan mist, conjuring a scene from five years ago on a rainy night—when his close friend received a bag of gold coins from an enemy family, revealing the Emerald Bracelet left behind by Second Brother's Mother peeking out from his sleeve.
"You used my Mother's relic as a token..." Second Brother staggered to support himself against the collapsing bookshelf, and suddenly, the Contract Ring shattered.
Scattered Gem Fragments were pierced into the incense burner by Gold Thread, and within it, the Soul Devouring Gu bug let out a wretched wail.
All Contract-related Grimoires in the Library of Hidden Books began to turn their pages automatically, revealing fluorescent markings of tampered Contracts on yellowed pages.
Brother San was flung into the storage room for testing scrolls by the slanted floor, as Burning Ashes swirled around him forming a Star Map.
The marks once deemed "mediocre talent" now reassembled into an entirely opposite conclusion within the Star Map—a note in Dragon Language that had been deliberately erased flickered among the Ashes: "Elemental Affinity exceeds expectations; recommend specializing in Space Tear techniques."
"Father personally crossed out my mentor's comments..." Brother San grasped at an unburned fragment of a scroll, oblivious to the blisters forming on his fingertips from its heat.
Suddenly, a Space Rift was torn open by Gold Thread in the storage room, and all cultivation plans rejected by Leonard over twenty years surged forth from the rift. Among them, the most tattered scroll titled "Magic Rune Resonance Theory" still bore bloodstains coughed up by his Birth Mother before her passing.
Qin Si lunged towards Aelia amidst the chaos, only to be repelled by the Defensive Formation of Laurel Armor.
Seizing the opportunity, she grasped the crumbling Moonstone Shards and used her maid Yin Zhan to cut her palm.
Blood dripped onto the shards, instantly solidifying into a Prism, refracting the light of the Judgment Sword into a Sevenfold Phantom. "Madam! The city defense formation of Aurora City requires the Bloodline of the Laurel Flower Master branch to be activated simultaneously—You and the Three Young Masters must now..."
Aelia crushed the last piece of moonlight stone with Leonard's Boots, and a thorny Bud suddenly sprouted from the Laurel Branch that emerged from the gap in her Silver Armor.
As the Judgment Sword pierced Leonard's Magic Shield's Shan Na, she saw beams of light rising simultaneously from the direction of her three sons—a Crimson Pillar surged with the Cursed Black Mist forced out by her eldest son, a ghostly Blue Light pillar froze the Soul Devouring Gu in her Second Brother's incense burner, and within a brilliant golden pillar spun the Star Map of cultivation plans discovered by Brother San.
Lucius held Luna as they slid towards the slanted window, his back crashing heavily against the Stained Glass of the Emerging Defensive Array.
The warm breath of the infant brushed against his neck, and those Gold Threads wandering beneath her skin began to seep into the stone wall along his arm.
As he looked down, he caught sight of ancient runes swirling in Luna's pupils—identical to those on the Iris of the Magic Castle's Cornerstone tablet.
"Aunt..." He suddenly recalled that snowy night ten years ago when his bloodline had gone berserk and Aelia locked him in the Ice Cellar; in a daze, he had seen a Hexagram flash across his swaddled sister's chest.
At this moment, Luna's Heart was burning hot, so much so that it caused a dull ache in his old injury beneath his ribs.
Leonard's scream suddenly tore through the air.
As the Judgment Sword penetrated his left shoulder, a Light Spot on the Soul Crystal Vein distribution map exploded.
His eldest brother’s Cursed Black Mist transformed into chains that bound their father’s feet, while Second Brother’s frozen Gu Worm sealed off the Magic Patterns on his right hand. Brother San’s Star Map unfurled above him, revealing the true results of his Talent Test.
"Mother!" The cries of the three brothers echoed from different directions, accompanied by the sharp sound of chains snapping deep within the foundation of the Magic Castle.
Aelia's Silver Armor was overrun with the wild growth of Laurel Blossoms. Just as she was about to deliver the final blow, Luna suddenly let out a Loud Cry in Lucius's arms.
Tears from the infant fell like pearls to the ground, and all the Gold Threads instantly contracted into a Light Cocoon, wrapping her tightly.
The Peacock Stone Tiles beneath everyone's feet suddenly turned transparent, revealing the Blood Altar hidden underground—a Marriage Contract tightly clutched by Aelia's younger sister ten years ago as she took her last breath. At that moment, it was burning in the center of the altar, and from the flames emerged the image of Leonard and his concubine Maggie's illegitimate daughter.
Lucius suddenly knelt on one knee, his honor knight medal of Leonard falling away as a Projection revealed the true order of heirs to the Magic Castle.
As his blood dripped onto the Projection, Luna's Light Cocoon suddenly burst apart. Fragments of Gold Threads flew through the air, forming a blurred Prophecy Scene: a Frost Dragon soared from the ruins of Aurora City, while three different forms of Magic Circles devoured the sun, moon, and stars.
Aelia's Sword Tip hovered above Leonard's heart, but suddenly, a Laurel Branch turned and pierced her own chest.
The blood she coughed up painted a Curse on her Silver Armor that lifted the seal. All hidden Transmission Arrays within the Magic Castle activated simultaneously, and Maggie's gentle whispers to her illegitimate daughter echoed in every corner.
"It turns out Nightfire Butterfly Scale Powder..." Qin Si suddenly crushed a Palm Blood Prism, causing a Sevenfold Phantom to coalesce into a Holographic Map of Maggie's Manor. "It's used to feed these Wraith converters!"
At that moment, Luna stopped crying. Her small hand, stained with blood, gently pressed against the transparent Peacock Stone Tiles.
The Wraiths trapped on the altar suddenly fell silent. Three thousand translucent figures turned toward the infant and slowly raised their hands to point at the highest Spire of the Magic Castle—where the surface of the City Guard Bell was emerging with cracks identical to those on Luna's Hexagram.
