The moonlight froze like frost at the Magic Castle Spire, and Luna's Cradle hung in the Light Spot cast by the Star Chart.
The residual Blue Light from the New Moon Necklace around the infant's neck projected dual shadow characters burned from the remnants of a broken engagement onto Aelia's snow-white Hand Back.
"Adeline Garden..." Aelia murmured the characters in a daze, her Fingertip brushing against the Jin Mang floating above Luna.
Those twisted Star Trails suddenly spelled out Leonard's Last Night in her Pupil—Leonard gently pinned a Rose Hairpin into the hair of the Red-Haired Witch with his hand adorned with the Dark Moon Ring, while the curve of her abdomen pressed against the stone tablet of the Magic Castle Crypt.
At that moment, Luna let out a Yiya Sound, her small hand, sticky with Poison Spider silk, shattered the remnants of the engagement.
The splattered starlight wrapped around fragments of oaths from Eighteen Years Ago, exploding before Aelia's eyes into faded memories: on their wedding night, when Leonard kissed her Luna, the Dark Moon Emblem branded on her Collarbone matched exactly with the mark on Lucius's Wrist at this moment.
"Madam!" Qin Si exclaimed as he caught his collapsing master.
The Crystal Lamp Shade that fell from under Aelia's Magic Robe crashed onto the gilded Peacock Stone Tiles, startling a Three-Eyed Night Owl resting outside the window.
She stared at the Prism reflecting Memory Fragments scattered across the floor and suddenly tore open her pearl collar, revealing the already dimmed Contract Mark on her Collarbone—where her husband's Dark Moon Magic Pattern should have entwined was now covered with Ice Cracks resembling a Spider Web.
A muffled Roar echoed from Underground, and her elder brother's Wheelchair rolled over Magic Runes, growing louder as it approached.
On his Pale Hand Back, a Teleportation Circle drawn in Dragon Blood emerged, while three Mechanical Spiders carried a yellowing Family Crest illustration. "Mother, there's Dark Elf Blood Curse mixed in with the Sacrificial Array at Underground Third Altar." He waved away the Holographic Projection emitted by the Mechanical Spiders; within the illustration, the First Patriarch and Dark Moon Elf’s forbidden Contract pierced everyone's eyes with pain.
Luna suddenly reached out her small hand towards her Second Brother's room.
The infant's Loud Cry transformed into golden sound waves that shattered the Confinement Spell wrapped around the Door Frame.
The Second Brother stumbled out, frantically calculating Magic Formulas with an ice crystal pen; ink spilled from his Sleeve solidifying in mid-air into Ancient Demon Script reading "Betrayer's Bloodline."
He stared at the Contract Projection hovering before Mother, and suddenly, his Feather Quill Tip pierced through the Parchment: "No wonder my Elemental Sprite always goes wild on full moon nights..."
The eerie silence was shattered by Qin Si's voice, calling out from the Third Young Master's Experimental Tower.
A sharp crack echoed from the Southeast Tower as glass shattered, and a torrent of purple smoke surged forth, carrying fragments of the Star Totem.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grasped Aelia's trembling fingers. As Luna's golden light swept through Mother’s cascading silver hair, eighteen Ice Sculpture Roses suddenly bloomed amidst the strands—each petal sealing the Love Words that Leonard had spoken long ago.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings fell into the Earth Rift of Shan Na, and suddenly, all the moonlight in the Magic Castle converged upon Luna's Cradle.
Around the infant, a translucent Oath Codex floated, its yellowed pages bearing the Warning written in Blood Tears by the First Generation Saintess before her fall, now overlaying Leonard's tampered Contract.
As the Ancient Demon Script Brand declaring "the betrothed shall forever fall into the abyss" seeped into the Peacock Stone Tiles, every person's Magic Bloodline resonated with a chilling tremor.
“Mother, look!” Lucius suddenly raised his wrist adorned with the burning Dark Moon Emblem.
On the Castle Outer Wall, the Glory Family Crest was being devoured by Thorn, while Rose Vines twisted around the sword hilt, growing wildly into a shape resembling a Vine Cage.
From his wheelchair armrest, an image of the First Patriarch’s Dragonbone Staff projected forth. Gritting his teeth, he infused it with magic: “The seal of the Abyssal Corridor is loosening; we must…”
Luna’s Loud Cry transformed abruptly into a clear and melodious chant.
Within the infant's Pupil, a Star Chart spun, and a Coordinate wrapped in a Blood Vein cocoon flickered violently.
Aelia’s handkerchief, stained with Silk, ignited spontaneously without wind. Emerging from the Ashes was an Underground Passage Map that perfectly overlapped with the recorded location of the Saint Maiden’s fall.
As new Castle Floor Tiles began to ooze Dark Red Liquid, everyone finally saw clearly—the so-called cracks in the long-neglected magic array were meticulously drawn Sacrificial Magic Runes.
Brother San stood before the laboratory's Astronomical Observatory, his fingertip absentmindedly tracing over the Black Slime left by a Poison Spider Egg.
The rotating Star Chart suddenly cracked open, and a Curse Coordinate that should have been extinguished was seeping black mist from the Phoenix Totem he had drawn himself.
He turned to look at the strange Aurora rising in the direction of the Family Tomb, as the Starlight Grass on his Experimental Robe curled up into a defensive posture—this was an instinctive reaction of the Star Mage to foresee danger after three hundred years.
The Astronomical Observatory in the lab emitted a piercing hum, while Brother San's fingertips dug deeply into the edge of the Observation Platform.
The black mist seeping from the Phoenix Totem twisted with the Curse Coordinate into the shape of a Two-Headed Serpent, clearly a precursor to Bloodline Rebound recorded in the Star Trajectory Mutation Theory.
He trembled as he tore off his gloves, now stained with Venomous Spider Silk. The Starlight Grass on his Experimental Robe curled into a Defensive Sphere—these magical plants that had accompanied him for twenty years now refused to unfurl their leaves due to his weakened magical aura.
"So it turns out everything Grandfather said was true..." Elaine stumbled back, knocking over a Crystal Jar filled with Yue Lu.
The splashing liquid coalesced in the air into Xu Ying, the First Patriarch from three hundred years ago, who was revered as a Star Mage and was now looking at him with disappointment in his eyes.
The shards of the jar reflected his disheveled Platinum Long Hair, and the Magic Energy Diminishing Talisman tangled in its tips seemed so ridiculous at this moment—these illusions meant to evade training had left him unable to comprehend the warnings from the Star Observation Instrument and Twelve Star Tracks at such a critical time.
A violent Magic Shockwave suddenly erupted from the Southeast Tower, and Elaine lunged toward the Observation Window.
The eerie Aurora above the Family Tomb was forming a strangling vortex with the black mist rising toward the Crypt; his carefully designed Protective Barrier shattered like a fragile Spider Web.
When a Barrier Stone inscribed with "Elaine · Glory Era Year 199" exploded into Powder, he grabbed his grandfather's Star Codex and slammed it against his knee—years ago, he had used this Grimoire as padding while sneaking bites of Poison Spider Egg; now, the Gold Foil chapter on "Forbidden Technique" was automatically flipping open before him.
"Third Young Master?" A hesitant knock came from outside the door.
Elaine suddenly ripped open his Experimental Robe adorned with playful runes, revealing a dim Starry Brand on his heart.
With fingers smeared in Black Slime, he drew a Penitent Star Map in the void. The Codex sensed the true Star Bloodline and finally unleashed the Family Heritage Memory sealed for twenty years.
At the other end of the long corridor, Qin Si was kneeling on the Peacock Stone Tiles, gathering the shards of the Crystal Lamp Shade.
She deliberately let the sharp edges cut into her fingertip, watching as the Blood Pearl seeped into the gilded Gap—this was a blood tracing technique taught by the Head Maid. When Lady Aelia's Pearl Earrings vanished into the Earth Rift, she had resolved to find all evidence of betrayal for her mistress.
"Has my lady taken the calming elixir?" Qin Si suddenly grabbed the skirt of a passing maid, her bloodied fingertip leaving a Tracking Talisman mark on the other's sleeve.
Upon seeing the maid shake her head in panic, her emerald-colored pupils revealed serpent-like vertical slits unique to Magic Pets: "Go to the Cellar and fetch three vials of Moon Owl tears, labeled 'Adeline Garden.'"
Outside, a Three-Eyed Night Owl let out a mocking hoot, and Qin Si crushed the Crystal Shard in her hand.
Seventeen years ago, on that rainy night, she had personally helped Aelia don her wedding veil.
Now, memories of Leonard gently pinning a Pearl Hairpin on her mistress overlapped perfectly with the image from a Holographic Projection of the Red-Haired Witch receiving a Rose Hairpin. This realization stirred something poisonous within her stomach like a vine with Poison Spikes.
"Aunt Cessy?" Lucius's voice echoed from the spiral staircase.
The boy's Dark Moon Emblem wrist was wrapped in Hemostatic Bandages, yet he pinched between his fingers a fragment of the Family Crest brought by his brother's Mechanical Spider.
As he pretended to casually reveal the inverted "Adeline" in Ancient Demon Script beneath the bandages, Qin Si suddenly became aware that this usually silent Third Young Master Lucius might no longer be just a child hiding in his brothers' shadows.
In the Forbidden Zone of Crypt Level Three, Lucius pressed the Dark Moon Emblem against the Relief of the First Generation Saintess.
The stone wall oozed Blood Pearls with a rose scent, identical to the aroma of the fertility Magic Potion he had stumbled upon when he was seven years old while watching Father brew it.
The Holographic Map unfolded in his palm; those marked Coordinate Points labeled "Outer Chamber Annex" perfectly overlapped with areas of magical anomalies he had secretly documented over the years.
"Indeed at the Sacrificial Array Eye..." The boy embedded the Family Crest fragment into the wall, watching as red light spread along the Underground Passage Map.
When a certain branch connected directly beneath the Mother's chamber, he suddenly recalled the Loud Cry of Luna around the Cradle, where the Oath Codex had clearly passed—this was unmistakably the Protective Magic Rune personally drawn by Father during last year's renovation of the chamber.
A surge of Star Magic emanated from the direction of the Experimental Tower, causing Lucius to turn in surprise.
At the top of the Southeast Tower, a true Celestial Shield illuminated, its intricate Hexagram nested structure was certainly not a product of Brother San's haphazard experiments from days gone by.
He quickly inscribed the newly discovered Coordinate on a bandage, and as the released Blood-Red Paper Owl pierced through the Colored Window, it was suddenly frozen in mid-air by an unexpected beam of moonlight—the entire castle's moonlight at that moment displayed the embossed Jin Wen of the Oath Codex.
Inside the Aelia chamber, Luna's Cradle floated at the center of the moonlight-woven Oath Codex.
The New Moon Necklace around the infant's neck continuously absorbed the overflowing Jin Mang from the Codex, while the Star Trail on Luna quietly restructured itself.
When the Codex turned to the chapter titled "Bloodline Bond", Luna suddenly reached out her tiny hand towards the Southeast, a strand of Gold Thread diving straight into the Observation Window of Brother San's laboratory.
Elaine Bloodshot eyes suddenly cleared, as the Star Map projected by the Codex resonated with his recently repaired Defensive Formation.
The boy tore off his disguise, breaking free from the constraints of the Magic Energy Suppression Necklace, as the true Starry Brand spread from his heart throughout his body.
At the moment he uttered the first Forbidden Spell from the Codex, all the Observation Windows in the Experimental Tower exploded into brilliant Stardust, and the hexagram on the protective barrier suddenly opened its ancestral eye.
Deep within the Crypt, the Sacrificial Pool began to bubble violently, and a crack emerged in an altar entwined with Rose Vines.
Before dissipating at the surface of the pool, a shadowy figure resembling the Red-Haired Witch Xu Ying, was being stripped away layer by layer by the power of the Oath Codex, which had been inscribed by Leonard himself as a protective spell.
All of this was captured in its entirety by a certain Mechanical Spider Eye Socket at the bottom of the pool—its metallic limbs entwined with silver hair, identical to that which had fallen from Aelia This Morning.
In a dark room within the East Wing, the Dark Moon Emblem Ring suddenly burned Leonard's fingers.
He stared in shock at the wall-mounted Glory Family Crest, as those thorns gnawing at a massive sword unexpectedly rebounded against his own dark moon magic pattern.
An urgent message from the Outer Chamber Annex reached him, but as it touched the Window Lattice, it was suddenly incinerated by the Oath Codex's Jin Mang, turning to ashes that fell to the ground, faintly spelling out "Adeline."
The Abyss Gem atop the Head of the Family Scepter exploded without warning, ice cracks spreading as a cold wind, carrying the scent of Ice Rose, pierced through the Eighteenfold Barrier he had set up. It was unmistakably the essence of the moonlight hairpin he had personally placed in Aelia's hair on her Ten-Year Birthday.
Leonard pressed his burned fingertip against the Scepter's ice cracks, oblivious to the shards of Abyss Gem cutting into his skin.
Every thorn mark on the dark room's walls was devouring the lies he had meticulously woven over twenty years. The coordinates of the Outer Chamber Annex burned into his retina—shockingly, they perfectly overlapped with the site of the First Generation Saintess's fall in Adeline Garden.
"It's just an illusion of a prophetic child..." he murmured to the air, as Dark Moon Magic Pattern spread from his neck to Luna.
As Xu Ying, the Red-Haired Witch, coalesced at the tip of the Scepter, a sharp sound of ice crystals shattering suddenly echoed from the direction of the Head of the Family's Sleeping Chamber—it was the sound of his wedding gift to Aelia, the Moonlight Ice Rose, wilting.
On the edge of Aelia's palace terrace, eighteen Ice Roses were melting under the moonlight.
Aelia gazed down at the remnants of their marriage contract floating in her palm, while Ice Blue Magic began to repair the Codex's damage along the ice cracks.
When the last fragment adorned with Dark Moon Magic Pattern was removed, Luna suddenly giggled, her golden light illuminating a newly sprouted Starry Hairpin in Mother’s hair.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius requests an audience." Qin Si entered with a silver plate filled with Star Sand, deliberately stepping on and shattering a section of Dark Red Patterns on the Peacock Stone Tiles.
As Star Sand scattered around forming a Defensive Formation around the Codex, Lucius's wrist bore a Dark Moon Emblem that unexpectedly oozed black mist. Yet, he remained unfazed as he sealed the toxic fog within a Crystal Bottle.
"Mother, the Sacrificial Array in the Southeast Corner of Crypt requires a Star Mage's Bloodline to activate." Lucius placed the Crystal Bottle at the edge of a cradle; its reflection revealed Luna’s pupil displaying a Rotating Star Map. "Brother San's laboratory just activated its First Generation Defensive Formation; his Starry Brand..."
Aelia's fingertip felt a sudden tension as a Gold Thread from her Codex flipped open to the chapter titled "Bloodline Bond."
When Elaine’s page emerged complete with a Star Totem, an intense tremor shook the entire Magic Castle. All areas covered by Dark Moon Magic Pattern lit up with Confessor Star Array.
The Sacrificial Pool on Crypt’s third level boiled like lava as Leonard appeared at its edge draped in a shadowy cloak.
He cut his wrist and let Hei Xue drip into the pool, but what floated up from the bottom was a silver-haired Mechanical Spider. "Aelia..." His pupils constricted sharply as the Dark Moon Magic Pattern suddenly surged back, piercing his heart.
When he attempted to summon the Red-Haired Witch Xu Ying, the reflection in the water showed Luna's Cradle surrounded by the swirling Oath Codex.
A roar echoed from the Abyssal Corridor as chains shattered, causing Leonard to stagger and brace himself against the altar.
The Guardian Spell he had inscribed years ago was being purified by some pure Starlight Power. This revelation drove him to tear open his collar—where his heart connected to Aelia through the Contract Mark, a blooming Ice Sculpture Rose emerged.
"Father?" Elaine's voice came from outside the Starry Protection Array.
The Starlight Grass on the boy's Experimental Robe unfurled like a sword, while the Ancestral Codex hovered over his shoulder. The Yellowed Pages, once tainted by Venomous Spider Silk, now flowed with genuine Starry Magic Runes.
Leonard's pupils were suddenly pierced by Xing Mang, and he was horrified to discover that the magical energy swirling around Third Son shared the same origin as the Oath Codex.
As Elaine's Star Chain wrapped around the altar, the Head of the Family Scepter flew uncontrollably toward the Defensive Formation—into the Ice Cracks of the Abyss Gem, where Luna's New Moon Necklace flickered incessantly.
When the Midnight Bell tolled, Leonard stood in the shadows of the palace terrace.
He gazed at Aelia’s newly sprouted Starry Hairpin, blood seeping from his palm where the Dark Moon Ring pressed down: "Those illusions..."
"They are reflections of real history that have occurred over the past eighteen years." Aelia caressed the newly formed Ice Rose Emblem on the Codex, while Luna’s Cradle illuminated her collarbone, where the Contract Mark had completely vanished.
As Leonard attempted to touch the Codex, the Oath Text suddenly transformed into chains that ensnared his wrist.
All around Magic Castle, Xing Huo lit up simultaneously, and anxious murmurs from the Elders drifted along Feng Ling.
Lucius stood atop the bell tower, watching as his Dark Moon Emblem on his wrist was purified layer by layer by Starlight Power. Elaine’s Experimental Tower was expanding the Defensive Formation across their entire territory; meanwhile, deep within the Crypt, his elder brother’s Mechanical Spider Legion had surrounded the last Core Altar.
Leonard suddenly let out a low laugh as the Dark Moon Magic Pattern writhed beneath his skin like a living creature.
He quietly crushed the teleportation talisman hidden behind his back, but in the moment the spatial rift opened, it was shattered by a golden light from the Codex—amid Luna's Loud Cry, the baby Luna projected a Star Map that enveloped the entire castle.
"You think you can change..." His threat was abruptly cut off.
The Ice Rose in Aelia's hair suddenly bloomed, each petal reflecting the vows made under the moonlight Hairpin of that year. At this moment, these Leonard's Last Night were transformed into tangible Curses under the enhancement of the Codex.
The alternating Midnight and Shan Na caused all Dark Moon Magic Patterns in the Magic Castle to emit a dying Screech simultaneously.
The clansmen watched in terror as the Thorn on the Family Crest began to wither, yet no one noticed the black mist seeping from the withered part, quietly infiltrating the Geomancy.
As the last of the Dark Red Patterns was purified by Starlight Power, ashes carrying a Sulfur Smell suddenly fell from the sky—these did not originate from any known Magic Flame but resembled Dust spilling forth when some ancient seal loosened.
Luna suddenly reached out her small hand towards the north, and all of the Oath Chain surrounding the Cradle pointed toward the direction of the Family Tomb.
Aelia followed the baby's gaze and saw that the tombstone of the First Generation Saintess was oozing a Rainbow Halo. The light twisted into a shape resembling a creature's Spine upon contact with moonlight.
The Wind Vane atop the Magic Castle Spire unexpectedly spun backward three times, startling flocks of mourning Night Owls.
As the last Night Owl's tail feather swept past the observation tower, Elaine's Celestial Shield suddenly rippled with fish-scale patterns—this magical surface, which should have been perfectly smooth, now reflected an eerie outline that did not belong to this world.
Meanwhile, deep within the Crypt, Leonard stared at his Palm as it automatically healed around the Scepter. Ice Cracks whispered, "Let you taste a moment of hope..." Behind him, shadows in the wall revealed that the First Patriarch and Dark Moon Elf's Contract Scroll were seeping a substance akin to Asphalt. Where this Black Slime flowed, even the golden light of the Oath Codex showed subtle delays.
