As the ice crystals fell softly, Aelia trembled as she touched the remnants of the Crimson Flower Pattern within Ashes.
Qin Si hurriedly gathered the last spark with Silver Chain Gloves, but was burned, leaving two scorch marks. "This is clearly the Encrypted Magic Pattern of a Contract Copy..."
"Boom—"
The West Corridor Pillar suddenly exploded with ice mist, and Leonard's Leonard's Silver Wolf Cloak swept in with the wind and snow, crashing into the side hall.
Lord Fingertip, still stained with Chen Lu from Iris Flower Manor, narrowed his pupils at the sight of the scattered Contract Remnants. "Who allowed you to tamper with the Original Document in the secret chamber?"
Aelia staggered to support herself against the Ice Sculpture's table corner, her palm pierced by the hidden Iris Relief along the table edge, drawing blood.
She suddenly recalled her wedding night ten years ago when Leonard had used those very hands to place the Ice Crystal Ornament on her: "Eternal Contract Witnessed by Heaven and Earth."
"Does the Eternal Contract require two Outer Chamber Manors to be empowered?" She flung the bloodied Contract Fragment onto the Ice Surface, causing the Crimson Flower Pattern to spin wildly. "Last winter festival, you said you were in Closed Door Training, but in reality, you were using magic to hasten roses at Dongjiao to please your lover?"
Lucius's guardian spirit suddenly emitted an alarm—Chang Xiao.
The hand adorned with a Redbud Ring on the Geomancy Model was drawing Ice Blue energy towards the Southwest—the very direction of the Outer Chamber Manor.
"Mother!" Brother San burst through the frost-covered Carved Door, and the magical potion in his Alchemical Vessel splashed out an eerie Blue Light.
His older brother stumbled after him, leaning on his Serpent Staff. The Magic Crystal embedded in its Staff Tip resonated with something deep within the Crypt.
Leonard unleashed an Ice Thorn Barrier around him, forcing his Eldest Son back three steps. "Who taught you to eavesdrop on your parents' conversations?" As he crushed a Contract Fragment under his Boot Sole, Second Brother's Best Friend's Gift Sword at his waist suddenly let out a mournful cry—the sword hilt's Iris Pattern perfectly aligned with Lord's cufflink.
Luna's loud cry carried a mage-level mental shock, causing the Guardian Silver Lines at each corner of the Cradle to snap in response.
When Aelia's Lacrima fell upon her Mei Xin, the Silver Moon Pattern suddenly reflected Xu Ying's Dragon Tail Reverse Scale—exactly where the Grimoire was hidden in the Dark Compartment.
"Look at you now!" Leonard chanted a spell, freezing the entire Spell Wall, yet from the Ice Layer emerged Leonard's Concubine, cradling twins from Leonard's Last Night. "The Glorious Demon Fortress needs a stronger heir..."
Before the words could settle, Qin Si suddenly snapped the silver chain and hurled it towards the Ice Surface.
Amidst the splattering Xing Huo, Aelia's blood contract, made to heal her husband twenty years ago, manifested, with the Fire Seal in the lower right corner being quietly altered into a Crimson Flower Pattern by some magic.
"So our engagement was a lie from the very beginning?" Aelia's Neck Ice Crystal Ornament shattered, and from deep within the Crypt came the mournful wail of a dragon's Remnant Soul.
She stumbled and fell beside Luna's Cradle, unaware that her daughter was using her bloodied fingers to draw a Reversal Spell on her Skirt.
Second Brother suddenly pressed down on the trembling Leonard's Sword. "Father gifted me this Dream Crystal last year..." He tugged at his collar to reveal the Purple Azalea Mark on his Collarbone, unmistakably a mark of a Contract Puppet.
Outside, the Twelve Ice Riders burst in through the window in pursuit of a cloaked figure, their sleeves adorned with an Iris Pattern that shimmered silver-blue under the moonlight, matching Leonard's Concubine's curtains.
Luna let out a deafening Screech.
Deep within the baby's Pupil, the Silver Moon Pattern resonated with the Geomancy Model, forcibly manifesting Xu Ying pressed against the model—revealing Brother San's Alchemist Mentor!
Lucius' guardian spirit lance suddenly changed direction, while Eldest Brother's Serpent Staff flew autonomously towards the depths of the Crypt.
"Everyone stop!" Leonard summoned a Frostwolf but saw Aelia cut her Wrist and smear blood on Luna's Mei Xin.
The baby's silver hair abruptly transformed into a Gold Foil color resembling a Contract Scroll, and a beam of light shot from Yue Wen on her forehead directly at Lord Heart—where the Purple Blossom Curse Seal emerged, altering the Contract.
The Geomancy Model suddenly exploded into countless Ice Spikes.
In the midst of falling crystal shards, Luna grasped a reverse scale Xu Ying; an ancient Grimoire Title Page unfurled above everyone's heads.
As the altered Contract's Crimson Flower Pattern coincided with Brother San's Alchemical Vessel containing Blue Light, a Roar echoed from the Southwest—the direction where Leonard's Concubine was located as the manor began to collapse.
"So you have already bound the lifeline of the Magic Castle to Leonard's Concubine..." Aelia coughed out blood laced with ice crystals, watching her husband hurriedly stabilize the Geomancy.
She did not notice Luna quietly injecting the Reversal Spell into the Geomancy Model through the cracks of the Ice Crystal Ornament with her blood-stained fingers.
As the chains of the Twelve Ice Riders ensnared the figure in the black robe, the infant suddenly let out an eerie laugh.
Lucius turned to see on the ice wall of the Crypt that Luna's Pupil was breaking down the Crimson Flower Pattern into basic Magic Patterns—those lines were identical to the Backlash Curse contained within his elder brother's Magic Crystal.
The Ice Spikes of the Crypt Dome emitted a sound of shattering, while Luna lay in Aelia's blood-stained embrace, the infant's uniquely soft knuckles gripping tightly onto Mother’s shattered Ice Crystal Ornament.
The Reversal Spell that had seeped into the cracks of the Ice Layer flowed along the Geomancy, projecting dense Mama's Magic Pattern Track onto her retina—exactly depicting the energy trajectory recorded in the original book just before the collapse of the Magic Castle.
"Ugh..." Luna emitted a sob like a young beast, actually simulating a Dragon Language incantation with her underdeveloped vocal cords.
Outside Lucius's Guardian Barrier formed by his spear, Brother San's Alchemical Vessel suddenly turned upside down, deep blue liquid drawing a Moon Wheel Totem on the Ground that matched Luna's Pupil.
Second Brother staggered as he tore open his blood-soaked clothing, revealing that the Purple Azalea Mark on his collarbone was beginning to peel away: "These Puppet Marks... are they an amalgamation of Alchemy and Contract Magic?" His trembling fingers brushed against Leonard's Sword, and suddenly dark red liquid seeped from its iris-patterned hilt—clearly the unique Dragon Blood Ink from Outer Chamber Manor.
"Don't touch it!" Luna's sudden loud cry carried a mental shockwave, precisely shattering the Blood Pearl that was about to touch down.
The splattered liquid corroded into Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes on the Ice Surface, reminding her of Second Brother’s horrific fate in the original book when he had come into contact with Puppet blood poison, causing his body to rot away.
Lucius's spear abruptly plunged into the Geomancy Model at the Southwest Corner, and as its tip lifted Ice Shards, they transformed into a structural diagram of the manor.
Upon seeing that the Defensive Formation of Leonard's Concubine's twin room originated from his elder brother’s Magic Crystal, his Lustrous Golden Pupils constricted violently: "Father actually used Eldest Son's Backlash Curse as a base for this Guardian Array?"
Aelia’s coughing intensified suddenly, and blood flowing from her wrist blossomed into Frost Flowers on the Infant Swaddling.
Seizing this opportunity, Luna pressed her bloodied fingers onto the Ground at a crucial Node of the Reversal Spell, causing those ice crystal cracks to emit a sound like Dragon Scales grinding against each other.
"Mother, look here!" Brother San suddenly raised the Alchemical Lens, and the Blue Light of the potion pierced through the Elder Brother's Serpent Staff, causing the backlash from the Spell Projection within the Staff Tip's Magic Crystal to strike against the ice wall.
Luna's Pupil, Yue Wen, immediately resonated with it, and those twisted runes surprisingly began to disassemble and reassemble before everyone's eyes, ultimately revealing Leonard's Soul Mark.
A roar from the Remnant Soul of a dragon echoed from deep within the Crypt, and suddenly, the frozen Contract Scroll burst forth from the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna bit her Tongue and shot a Blood Pearl mixed with Mage Soul Power toward the floating scroll—this was the Contract Retracement Secret Art she had found in her memories of the original book.
"No!" Leonard's Frostwolf lunged at the Original Document but was blocked by Aelia's suddenly erupting Ice Thorn cage.
The Blood Pearl that fell from the Lady of the Fortress's hair drew strange totems on the surface of the scroll, as the Newlywed Contract from Twenty Years Ago began to tear apart in midair alongside the altered Cercis Blossom Mark.
Luna's silver hair moved as if stirred by an unseen wind, and the Guardian Silver Line scattered from the Cradle suddenly coiled around everyone's wrists like serpents.
When Lucius's spear and Second Brother's Leonard's Sword resonated simultaneously, she finally grasped the key Node of what was mentioned in the original book—the "Bloodline Resonance Boundary Breaking Array."
"Southwest... Kun Position..." Her mumbling was received by Brother San's Alchemical Vessel, and the boiling potion within suddenly reflected Leonard's Last Night at Outer Chamber Manor—the countless Purple Blossom Puppets were gnawing at the Projection of the Magic Fortress Leyline.
The Elder Brother's Serpent Staff suddenly broke free from its icy prison, and a beam shot from its Staff Tip Magic Crystal intersected with Luna's Reversal Spell.
The Chinese Rose Pattern on the Geomancy Model began to flow in reverse, and surprisingly, the Collapse Sound coming from Outer Chamber Manor gradually weakened.
"So that's how Contract Backlash can be redirected!" Qin Si suddenly tore off his Silver Chain Gloves and injected Guardian Magic accumulated over Twenty Years into Aelia’s wound. "Madam, use your Marriage Blood Oath as guidance!"
Luna anxiously twisted in her swaddling; she remembered that this part required an Ice Crystal Ornament as a Magic Medium.
Her bloodied little hands desperately pounded on Aelia’s Forehead Ornament fragment until finally catching Mother’s attention towards the flickering Dragon Scales and Red Glow within the crack.
When the last fragment was embedded into the Geomancy Model, the entire Magic Castle suddenly shook violently.
The spear of Lucius flew automatically towards the Southwest Direction, its tip lifting the Ice Mist to reveal the panicked face of Leonard's Concubine—her arms cradling the twins who were crying out in resonance with Geomancy.
"So this is what they call an Heir..." Second Brother's Leonard's Sword suddenly changed direction, the handle's Iris pattern emitting a beam of light that incinerated the Redbud mark on the black-robed man's sleeve. "Just a Puppet that steals the family's fortune!"
Seizing the opportunity, Luna completed the final Reversal Spell, and the Moon Wheel Totem within the infants' pupils surged.
The altered Contract Clauses dissipated like a receding tide, and Leonard's Heart's Purple Blossom Curse Seal suddenly exploded, sending shards of Ice mixed with black goo flying.
A deafening sound of chains breaking echoed from deep within Geomancy, and Brother's Serpent Staff suddenly came to life.
As he trembled and stood upright, the Backlash Curse that had lain dormant in the Magic Crystal for Twenty Years transformed into Liuguang, merging into Luna's forehead at Yue Wen.
"My legs..." Brother touched his Twin Legs in disbelief as feeling returned. The track carved by the Serpent Staff on the Ground perfectly matched the Reversal Spell Luna had drawn earlier.
Aelia's Lacrima fell upon her daughter Mei Xin, merging with residual Dragon Blood to form Golden Light Spots.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luna encapsulated part of her original memories within. As the Light Spot sank into Mother’s forehead, the Lady of the Fortress suddenly raised her hand to weave the long-lost Ice Phoenix Seal.
"With the blood of the First Generation Fortress Master as a guide!" Aelia’s chant triggered a Resonance between heaven and earth. The shattered Marriage Contract Scroll reassembled, projecting images of Leonard's tampered Contract onto each ice crystal.
From the direction of Outer Chamber Manor came a thunderous Collapse Sound as Twelve Ice Riders finally ensnared the fleeing black-robed man.
Lucius silently gazed at Father’s crumbling image of authority, his Lustrous Golden Pupils reflecting the lifeblood of the restructured Magic Castle within the Geomancy Model.
When he noticed the shadow that lingered in the Southwest Corner, his spear suddenly emitted a warning hum—what should have dissipated black mist began to ooze strands of Purple Black Radiance.
Luna suddenly coughed violently, feeling a burning sensation in her underdeveloped lungs.
In terror, she realized that the Reversal Spell had not eliminated all dangers; those black goo seeping into Geomancy were coalescing in the shadows into bizarre patterns not recorded in the original texts.
As the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily calming the crisis, the blood-stained fingertip of the baby quietly traced a double seal on the ground.
Unfortunately, she did not notice that within the runes drawn with dragon blood, a slight deviation had occurred at a critical juncture—an entrance favored by dark magic.
As night fell, Lucius stood alone before the crumbling spell wall of the crypt.
He ran his fingers over the newly formed cracks on his spear and suddenly noticed a half petal of Cercis curled up in the shadow of an ice spike.
When he bent down to take a closer look, the petal transformed into black mist and slipped into the fissure of the spear, while a faint sound of shattering porcelain echoed from the nursery in the distance.
Luna stared wide-eyed from her swaying cradle, her forehead marked with flickering light.
She sensed a viscous darkness quietly spreading along the track of her reversal spell; its aura was both unfamiliar and familiar, reminiscent of something she had encountered in a past life...
Suddenly, cracks in the ice crystal ornament began to seep wisps of black mist, which coalesced into an eye-shaped totem under the moonlight.
Before Luna could let out her loud cry, the shadow dissipated into the plaid cast by the window lattice.
She stared at the gradually fading wet marks on the floor, a shiver that transcended her infant instincts crawled up her spine—it was unmistakably the scent of crimson moonflower juice, a favorite of dark magic.
