Aelia held the burning infant tightly in her arms, watching as the energy crystal on her eldest son Wheelchair suddenly shattered into ice shards.
At the end of the corridor, the Stained Glass reflected an eerie Purple Light, and she could hear Luna's urgent breaths beside her. The delicate fingers of the baby were gripping her flowing silver hair tightly.
"Mother, the Guardian Barrier in the West Wing has broken!" Young Master Pale pressed his palm against the frosty symbol on the Wheelchair armrest, and the Azure Purple veins formed by the magical backlash began to move strangely. "Someone is extracting the castle's Ley Line Energy..."
Before he could finish, Luna suddenly struggled to raise her small hand.
The ice crystal that formed at the baby's fingertip pierced precisely into Young Master's wrist, where a Magic Circuit protruded, amidst everyone's gasps.
In an instant, the Azure Purple veins that had coiled around the young man for years twisted like live serpents, sizzling under the burning ice crystal.
"Elder brother... reverse... third Magic Nexus..." Luna's child's voice carried a Magic Shockwave, causing all the candle flames in the corridor to turn a ghostly blue.
Blood seeped from the Ice Crystal Magic Pattern on her forehead, yet she stubbornly clutched her brother's convulsing wrist. "Trust me..."
Young Master's pupils constricted.
The heart-wrenching pain that had plagued him every full moon for ten years began to subside with the pure magical energy flowing from the baby's fingertip.
He looked at his frost-covered sister in swaddling clothes and suddenly recalled an ancient text he had discovered last night in the Library of Hidden Books—about the frost crystal Magic Pattern that appeared during a Great Mage's reincarnation.
"Using Wind Ring as a guide, channel magic into Star Sea Cavern." He trembled as he recited his family's Forbidden Technique incantation, and suddenly, twelve rays of Ice Spikes erupted from the Wheelchair armrest.
To everyone's horror, those Ice Spikes accurately pierced his vital points, and the previously reversed magical energy emitted a Qing Yue Longyin.
Ailya's silver hair was whipped about by the surging magic, and the baby let out a heart-wrenching loud cry.
She looked down to see a complete Ice Crystal Magic Array emerging from Luna's back while Frost Flowers condensed beneath her eldest son's Wheelchair, forming an ancient Breaking Curse Rune.
"Boom—"
The entire castle was suddenly enveloped in a blue ice rain.
As the Second Young Master stumbled into the corridor, he caught sight of his elder brother's wheelchair slowly rising amidst the swirling ice crystals—those dark purple veins that had entwined him for a decade were now turning to ashes and drifting away.
"Mother!
Father... he..." The Second Young Master pressed his bloodstained right hand against a stone pillar, but what seeped through his fingers was an eerie purple mist. "The Oath between the West Wing has been ensnared by a Double Barrier. When I activated the Breaking the Boundary Spell..." He suddenly coughed violently, and blood from his palm's family crest began to ooze out.
Luna suddenly writhed violently in their mother's embrace.
Beneath the frost flower-laden eyelashes of the infant, her purplish-red pupils reflected the swirling curse runes from her Second Brother's palm.
She suddenly grasped Aelia's moonstone pendant at her chest, using all her strength to press the gem against her brother's rotting curse mark.
"The Soul Contract... in... the mirror..." The infant's vocal cords bled from overexertion of magical power, yet she stubbornly pointed towards the Second Young Master's waist where Ailya's Silver Mirror hung.
That mirror, embedded with amethyst, suddenly shattered, and amidst the fragments emerged half of a beautiful woman's face—an unmistakable charm spell unique to Leonard's Outsider Family.
The Second Young Master staggered and fell to his knees.
The Protective Mirror gifted by a "close friend" three months ago was now converting his life force into a purple glimmer that surged towards the West Wing.
He gazed at his sister in swaddling clothes reaching out for him and suddenly recalled the blood curse that had appeared in the mirror after that fateful banquet.
The moment Luna's fingertip touched his Mei Xin, the entire Ailya's Silver Mirror emitted a screech.
The frost flower on the infant's palm spread along the curse's veins, forming an ice crystal chain on the Second Brother's arm.
As the last shard of the mirror shattered, Ailya's roar from the West Wing shook down the family crest flag hanging on the wall.
"Second Brother... when the moon is full... use Agave to wipe..." Luna's voice grew fainter, her small face nearly the same color as the Frost Flower in her swaddling.
She cast one last glance toward the corridor, where the Third Young Master's Alchemical Chamber was emitting strange green smoke.
Aelia trembled as she touched the blood-soaked Magic Pattern on her daughter's forehead, suddenly noticing a blood-stained Violet Petal that had appeared in the swaddling.
She recognized that Emblem—the one she had seen twenty years ago on the battlefield, belonging to the witch family that had used enchantments to destroy an entire Knight Order.
A loud crash echoed from somewhere in the castle, as if crystal had shattered.
When Maid Qin Si rushed into the corridor, carrying the unconscious Third Young Master, Luna was using her last strength to carve a twisted Curse into the stone slab.
The bloodied Fingertip of the infant suddenly pointed toward the West Wing, and the entire Glorious Demon Fortress trembled with a mournful vibration.
"Mother... let Brother San... stop... refining..." Luna's Pupil began to fade, yet she stubbornly clutched Aelia's clothing. "His talent... is Illusion Magic... not... not destruction..."
Before she could finish her sentence, an Alchemical Bottle hanging from the Third Young Master's Waist suddenly exploded.
In the thick green mist, everyone watched in horror as those Corrosive Liquids bizarrely crystallized into shimmering Bing Hua just as they approached Luna.
The infant coughed up Xue Mo, which twisted across the stone slab into a symbol—clearly the long-lost Elemental Reversal Spell.
As the second barrier of the West Wing shattered and Strong Light pierced through the night, the Second Young Master knelt at the center of the magic circle that Luna had inscribed.
He gazed at the Violet Mark still lingering on his Palm and, following his sister's instructions, dripped Agave Juice onto the remaining Lens.
Moonlight streamed through the Colored Window of the corridor, but instead of revealing a Dispel Rune in the mirror, it showed a poisonous snake coiled around the Outer Chamber Family Crest suddenly opening its eyes—
The cold moonlight penetrated through Stained Glass, cutting out Diamond Light Spots on the trembling Hand Back of the Second Young Master.
Agave Juice seeped along the cracks of the Lens, but as it touched Zi Wu, it instantly evaporated into a cloud of Stench.
"How could this happen..." He knelt in the center of the Ice Crystal Magic Array, watching as the rotting Curse Mark spread up to his elbow.
Suddenly, the Snake Eye in the mirror turned, and half of a beautiful woman's face sneered, "Poor little young master, do you even believe the babbling of an infant?"
Luna coughed violently in Aelia's arms, blood pearls spilling from her lips and freezing into ice crystals upon hitting the stone slab.
The bloodied fingers of the infant suddenly grasped Second Brother's silver chain, drawing overlapping circular runes on the surface of the moonstone. "Wait... moonlight..." Her purplish-red pupils reflected the moving Star Trail from the skylight, while her blood-stained swaddling emitted a faint Blue Light.
As the clock tower chimed for the eleventh time, frost patterns resembling an emerging spider web suddenly appeared on the mirror's surface.
Second Young Master felt a chill in his wrist as those wandering Zi Wu materialized into countless thin snakes, yet they were firmly bound by Luna's pre-drawn Ice Crystal Chain.
The Beautiful Woman let out a Qian Jiao; her Xu Ying was pinned in the center of the magic array by moonlight, and the serpent emblem began to shatter inch by inch.
"Now is the time!" Luna suddenly called out with a clear Child's Voice, her plea draining her last ounce of strength.
Second Young Master had an epiphany and splashed the remaining Agave juice onto the mirror—upon contact with the Curse Source's Shan Na, the liquid flowed upstream along the Ice Crystal Chain, merging with Luna's Blood-red Runes to form a dual Dispel Array.
The sound of shattering glass echoed from within the mirror as the poisonous snakes formed from Zi Wu abruptly changed direction and sank their fangs into the Beautiful Woman's throat.
When the last wisp of black smoke dissipated, Second Young Master's Curse Mark on his arm had faded into a light pink scar. In the center of Luna's drawn Ice Crystal Magic Array lay quietly a Violet Petal marked with Tooth Marks.
Aelia gently stroked her daughter's burning forehead; as she turned, her silver hair brushed against Third Young Master's pale face.
The boy slumped at the door of the Alchemical Chamber, green corrosive liquid burning scorch marks into his pants, yet he remained oblivious to the pain. "After all... I will never learn true magic..." He tore off seven empty Potion Bottles from his waist, his Emerald Eyes clouded with a dull mist.
Luna suddenly struggled and reached out her small hand.
The ice crystals formed at the infant's fingertip transformed the corrosive liquid at Brother San's sleeve into Liu Ying the moment they touched.
Those emerald light spots danced around the boy, gradually coalescing into a blurred iris—exactly like the one he discovered in the corner of Father's Study when he was twelve, in a book titled "Elemental Essence Theory," which contained a remnant page.
"Brother San, look..." Luna's weak voice sent a shiver through the boy.
Her blood-stained swaddling suddenly emerged, revealing a rotating star map. The alchemical symbols abandoned by Third Young Master began to reorganize, ultimately forming the complete prologue of the Illusionary Grimoire.
Aelia's Moonstone Pendant lit up at just the right moment, projecting the runes drawn in ice blood by the infant onto the wall.
Third Young Master stared blankly at the sentence composed of Liu Ying: "Illusion Magic is not deception; it is another form of reality." He suddenly recalled his seventh birthday when he had refracted a rainbow over the entire rose garden using Chen Lu, only for Father to shatter the Crystal Prism and dismiss it as a "Useless Trick."
More Blood Pearls oozed from Luna's forehead, yet she stubbornly clung to her brother's index finger.
The suspended corrosive liquid suddenly transformed into Transparent Butterflies, their wings scattering fine particles of light as they fluttered.
Third Young Master's pupils constricted; in a moment when one butterfly flapped its wings, he distinctly saw the basic formula of Elemental Recombination pulsing within its compound eyes.
"So that's how it is..." The boy's finger, stained with medicine, traced Ling Kong. The shattered fragments of an Alchemical Bottle suddenly floated and began to reassemble into a Prism under Liu Ying's guidance.
As the first ray of moonlight penetrated the Prism, the Illusionary Grimoire on the wall suddenly materialized, flipping to the chapter on "Elemental Vision."
Ailya's silver hair moved without wind as she watched her young son’s eyes reignite with light. Suddenly, she noticed that the infant in her arms was losing body heat rapidly.
The Ice Crystal Magic Array on Luna's back began to flicker, and the vibrations from Geomancy grew stronger. Somewhere in the castle, another sound of crystal explosion echoed.
"Mother..." Third Young Master suddenly knelt on the ground, his palm cradling an Ice Rose formed by Illusion Magic. "Can I borrow your handwritten copy of 'Astrology and Elemental Resonance'?" The shadows faded from his eyes as they reflected Luna's reassuring smile; those misled years turned into fine snow that melted into spring water upon touching the Illusionary Rose.
Qin Si hurried past the Library of Hidden Books with a newly replaced candlestick when a sudden flash of purple light streamed through a crack in the window, dazzling him.
As the Maid crouched down to adjust her skirt, she discovered a pair of Serpent-Shaped Earrings nestled in the gap of the stone bricks—its design, adorned with a deep Sapphire, unmistakably belonged to the Vera Family Crest that had perished alongside the rebels twenty years ago.
When the Illusionary Rose of the Third Young Master unfurled its seventh petal in the morning light, Castle Leyline suddenly shook violently for half a minute.
Qin Si tucked the Serpent-Shaped Earrings into her apron pocket, oblivious to the mysterious gemstone that was seeping out a light purple mist.
Outside the shattered barrier of the West Wing, a figure wearing matching earrings was burying a new Curse Crystal into the Leyline Node of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
As Qin Si clutched the Serpent-Shaped Earrings and traversed the spiral Emerald Corridor, moonlight stretched her shadow into a twisted vine.
The tremors from Geomancy caused the flames in the candelabra to flicker erratically. She gazed at the Sapphire in her palm, glowing with Youguang, and suddenly recalled the Violet Petals floating in the corrosive liquid during the explosion in the Third Young Master's Alchemical Chamber.
In Aelia's Chamber, a Cedar Fragrance wafted through the air as the lady cast a Healing Spell over Luna's icy crystal swaddling.
The Magic Pattern on the baby's back oozed faint Golden Blood Pearl, but upon touching the Moonstone Pendant, it solidified into a Frost Flower.
"Madam!" Qin Si stumbled over the threshold, spilling Calming Tea from the Silver Tray onto the Woven Carpet.
She trembled as she unfolded her Handkerchief; under the magical candlelight, the Serpent-Shaped Earrings cast an emblem of a snake entwined around a rose. "I found this in the ruins of West Wing's tower, just like what was in Master’s Study Room Secret Compartment..."
Aelia's Fingertip Healing Spell suddenly twisted into an ice spike, striking out at the Malachite Vanity and creating a web-like crack.
She remembered this emblem—twenty years ago during the border suppression battle, when Leonard had pulled her from a cloud of poison, Jian Feng had been picking up a pair of identical Moonstone Earrings.
"Someone must have replicated these old items." The lady's pale fingertip brushed against the sharp fangs of the Moonstone Earrings. Frost began to creep up her arm along Shi Wen’s path. "Master even reforged my Moonlight Necklace last month..." She abruptly fell silent, recalling Leonard's neck that day, still lingering with Violet Fragrance, reminiscent of that sweet scent from twenty years ago amidst the poison mist.
Qin Si suddenly collapsed to her knees and pulled out a charred Magic Letter from her apron’s hidden layer.
On the fragment of Parchment, the purple lacquer seal of the Vera family re-emerged under the influence of Magic Pattern, and clearly marked in the lower right corner was the date of Luna's birth.
Geomancy brought forth a more intense Zhen Chan, and Luna's cradle suddenly erupted with Ice Blue Strong Light.
The infant, unaware, clawed at the air, etching a totem of a venomous snake devouring the moon in the void.
Ailya's Silver Hair frosted over as she recognized this as the projection technique from the Great Mage's prophetic dreams—twenty years ago, when Leonard slayed the Witch Leader, this very pattern was embroidered on the blood-stained battle flag.
"Go fetch the Memory Crystal from the dark room." The lady's voice carried the Cold Wind of the Northern Territory, and the Moonstone Pendant suddenly shattered, sending splintered fragments projecting onto the wall, revealing Leonard's movements from the previous night.
As Leonard's Last Night froze in place amidst the barrier's fluctuations deep within the white birch forest in the western suburbs, Qin Si's crystal ball emitted a piercing hum.
Aelia pressed her bloodied palm against the crystal ball, ice crystals spreading along with an Ancient Incantation.
In that fleeting moment as the mist dissipated, she saw Leonard’s cloak sweep past the Wisteria Arbor, his long fingers adorning a beautiful woman with Serpent-Shaped Earrings.
The curve of that woman's protruding abdomen stung more than the Heart Devouring Curse did back then.
"Crack!"
The brittle sound of the crystal ball hitting the ground startled the sleeping Luna awake.
Aelia staggered to support herself against the Cradle, Ice Crystal Magic Pattern spreading from her Fingertip toward her heart.
Memories tore open like a venomous snake breaking its seal—on their wedding night, Leonard had cut his Palm with his sword blade, letting drops of blood fall onto the Moonstone between her Collarbone: "The Geomancy of Glorious Demon Fortress will forever resonate with your heartbeat Zhen Chan."
Geomancy suddenly emitted a dying wail, and a Roar echoed from the West Side of the castle as its barrier shattered.
Aelia's tears crystallized into Ice Pearls in front of Luna. She gazed at her reflection in the mirror as it gradually climbed up her neck in Frost Pattern and suddenly went mad, tearing open the ornate wardrobe.
Twenty gowns embroidered with Twin Sword Emblem hung neatly, each Lining sewn with Aster that she had stitched herself.
"Mother......"
Luna's weak call was enveloped by a Magic Shockwave, and the infant's Pupil reflected the Curse Totem emerging behind Aelia.
The lady suddenly turned around, discovering that frost on the wall was automatically forming a pattern of a poisonous snake entwined around a heart—exactly the "Heart Devouring Curse" that Leonard had once lifted for her, now reactivating with the resurgence of memories.
Qin Si suddenly covered her mouth and stepped back, seeing the moonstone between the lady's Collarbone turning black, while Luna's Swaddling oozed Golden Blood, which pooled on the floor to form a Blood Arrow pointing towards the West Wing.
The infant's blood-stained fingers suddenly Ling Kong sketched in the air, writing three Burning Magical Text: he is lying.
Ailya's Silver Hair began to dance wildly without wind, and all the mirrors in the chamber shattered simultaneously.
She picked up Luna and rushed to the terrace, seeing the Guardian Spirit of the Glorious Demon Fortress hovering over the white birch forest in the western suburbs—those glowing Spirits should have resided in the Earth Vein Core, but now they seemed drawn away, flying into the distance.
"Be careful, my lady!"
In Qin Si's scream, Aelia suddenly raised her hand to catch a falling violet.
The petals ignited with ghostly flames upon touching her Palm, revealing Leonard's handwriting: "Tonight's Geomancy maintenance, do not wait." Meanwhile, Luna was carving an entirely opposite truth with ice crystals on the Railings—the surging energy within the western suburbs' barrier clearly indicated new streams of Geomancy being born.
As the clock tower chimed the Midnight Bell, Aelia stood deep within the Treasure Chamber.
She trembled as she pressed down on the mechanism of the Dark Compartment, where a Talisman woven from their hair—last year's Birthday Gift from Leonard—was now revealing three layers of Curse Runes in the magical detection array.
The detection crystal displayed a spellcasting time that coincided with her three months of unconsciousness during her time as Luna.
Suddenly, Luna let out a heart-wrenching Loud Cry, and the infant's Ice Crystal Magic Pattern resonated with the Curse Totem on her mother.
In excruciating pain, Aelia saw memories flashing back: when Leonard fed her with An Tai Yao, an eerie light flickered from the amethyst on his ring; on the day she went into labor, an explosion suddenly rocked the West Wing, and all faces of the midwives were unfamiliar.
"Madam, the Third Young Master's Illusionary Rose..." Qin Si burst in, holding the Illusion Crystal. Inside Leonard's Last Night, the young man was refracting the entire castle's Magic Flow with Chen Lu.
The blue Light Bands that should have merged into the main fortress's Geomancy now extended toward the western forest like Blood Vessels.
Aelia's Ailya's White Nails dug deep into her Palm, blood dripping onto Luna's forehead, solidifying into an Ice Blade.
She cast one last glance at the Magic Portrait on the wall from her wedding day, where Leonard's gentle gaze as he crowned her now pierced her heart more than a serpent's fangs.
Suddenly, the moonlight was swallowed by Wu Yun, and the castle rang with the warning bells of collapsing Geomancy.
Aelia handed Luna over to Qin Si, and as she turned, Frost Patterns had already spread across half of Luna.
She drew the Ice Spirit Longsword hanging on the wall; its Sword Body reflected a fierce expression she had never possessed—this was Leonard's Sword, used when he taught her swordsmanship at sixteen.
In the fragrant Magic Laboratory, Luna curled up in the swaddling sewn by Qin Si, her Emerald Color eyes reflecting the Ice Cracks of the magic array beneath her brother's Wheelchair.
This young man, paralyzed for three years due to a Magic Backlash, was now ensnared by a ghostly blue Electric Arc around his neck.
"Laughter!" Luna suddenly waved her arm like an Oujie, accurately flicking a black Obsidian off the Experiment Table.
The stone fell into the center of the magic array’s Shan Na; the rampaging elemental flow suddenly stagnated. From his Wheelchair Armrest emerged a Spider Web-like Rune Chain—the very Curse Medium that had caused his magic to spiral out of control in the Original.
Lady Aelia tightened her grip around Luna: "Qin Si, bring me the Moonlight Sand from the third level of Lord's Study Ankeli." Her luxurious purple silk Starry Gown swept across the debris-strewn floor as her gaze fell on Luna’s mouth corner smeared with Milk Stain. She suddenly realized that this foundling baby always pointed to the hidden dangers within the Magic Castle whenever she cried.
As Luna drooled on Second Brother’s Magic Contract while drawing a Reversal Rune, a once-in-a-century blood moon descended upon Glorious Demon Fortress’s Dome.
Aelia stood beneath the Elemental Holy Tree, gazing at the Memory Crystal presented by Lucius—her husband was embracing Guild Master Wu’s daughter from Northland Chamber of Commerce, wearing an Ice Crystal Ring on his right hand’s ring finger, symbolizing eternal Oath.
"Mother, those who split from our family have begun to contact Starfall Chamber." Before Lucius could finish his sentence, the Sacred Tree suddenly erupted with seven-colored radiance.
The golden leaves belonging to Lord suddenly dimmed, while the tender shoots representing Third Young Master Lucius grew at a visibly rapid pace.
In front of Luna's Cradle, Brother San held the Ancient Demon Codex that she had forcibly shoved into his hands, and the dormant magical power within him surged to life after years of silence.
Dried violet flowers falling between the Yellowed Pages emitted a peculiar fragrance, clearing the fog that had lingered in his Awareness for years—those so-called hints of "Insufficient Talent" were merely mental shackles planted by the family elders.
As the first rays of dawn pierced through the Magic Castle Tower, Aelia entered the Assembly Hall, holding her Thorned Staff. New branches from the Elemental Holy Tree intertwined with her silver hair, and behind her followed three transformed Heirs.
Leonard watched as his wife’s Fingertip pulsed with Judgment Fire, finally understanding that the girl who always cried Loud Cry at critical moments had already set Destiny's gears on an irreversible path.
Moonlight filtered through the Colored Glazed Window, casting mottled Light and Shadow on the Starshine Altar.
Luna curled up in Qin Si's embrace, her Amber Eyes reflecting her elder brother at the center of the altar—his Pale Fingertip wandered along the Magic Circuit, with Silver Magic Runes flickering beneath his skin.
"Cough!" Blood splattered against Yue Bai's stone pillar as her brother staggered and clutched the edge of the altar.
Luna felt an invisible hand tighten around her heart; in the Original, this Magic Backlash would render her brother unable to walk forever.
"Madam, Young Master's Magic Circuit is going haywire again!" Qin Si's voice trembled with a cry.
Aelia rushed up to the altar, her Skirt billowing as her Dark Red hair swept past Luna's eyes. Suddenly, an Amethyst Hairpin in her hair emitted a hum reminiscent of Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum.
Luna stared at the Hairpin as memories from her past life surged forth—this was a Magic Amplifier she had personally Refined during the era of the Great Mage.
"Ugh!" Luna let out a Loud Cry unique to infants, desperately reaching for the Hairpin with her small hands.
As her Fingertip touched the cool Crystal of Shan Na, the altar's Ground suddenly Emerged with a Golden Star Map.
Aelia stared in shock at her daughter in her arms, the infant's pupils shining with a wisdom that did not belong to her age.
Countless Magic Runes surged in Luna's mind as she infused her Original Magic Power into the Hairpin.
The Amethyst erupted with a brilliant beam of light, piercing precisely into the twisted Magic Pattern Node at her brother's neck.
The Magic Torrent suddenly halted, and the rampaging Silver Patterns began to slowly reorganize, weaving a brand new Magic Circuit on the skin of the pale youth.
"This is impossible..." Her brother trembled as he touched his neck, the previously blocked magic now flowing smoothly like a spring stream.
He tried to lift his right hand, and Twelve Rays Ice Spikes instantly condensed above the altar, refracting the colorful moonlight.
Aelia suddenly staggered back, the weight of the infant in her arms reminding her of something as she turned her head.
A Crystal Mirror floated in mid-air, revealing Leonard gently caressing the pregnant belly of a blonde woman. Behind them stood Lucius, The Third Son of the Demon Fortress, holding a Sheepskin Contract still stained with dark red blood.
"Mother, you should see the Canary Father is raising in the Separate Courtyard to the west of the city." Lucius's voice came from the mirror as he twirled the black Obsidian on his Tail Ring, a mark of the Heir of the Magic Castle. "And Second Brother's dear friend, who lost our Family Crest at the casino last week."
Luna felt Aelia's embrace suddenly turn cold.
The Lady of the Fortress's emerald eyes glimmered with bloodlust as crystal lamps around the altar shattered one after another.
When the last piece of crystal hit the ground, the entire Magic Castle shook violently, and a roar from an Ancient Barrier echoed from below.
