The blood scab burst, and the moonlight over Luanzanggang twisted into a vortex.
Aelia stumbled back, scorched by the strong light emitted from the Wedding Ring. Ice crystals that had formed on the hilt of Liujin's sword fell like snowflakes, sizzling as they touched the blood scab, reminiscent of meat frying in hot oil.
"Step back!" The Ice Pick wielded by the eldest brother suddenly blocked everyone’s path. The broken blade reflected the eerie scene within the coffin—fingers as withered as tree roots scratched at the interior, each bloodstain glowing with a phosphorescent green.
Lucius threw a Detection Crystal into the air, which hovered above the coffin, revealing a black line writhing beneath the rotting skin of the Old Woman's neck.
Brother San's Magic Circle Diagram suddenly collapsed into a light spot, and he staggered against Second Brother's shoulder. "Look... look at her hand!" His voice trembled, laced with laughter that rattled his teeth.
Those bony fingertips, still clinging to fragments of flesh, bore clear marks of a dark purple spell.
Leonard suddenly wrapped Aelia's trembling hand in his cloak. The Gilded Family Crest shimmered in the moonlight, reflecting a cold light. "To think they would use a living person to feed a Soul Devourer spider—this kind of evil magic..." He swallowed hard and stepped back but fell silent when he caught sight of Luna's Turtle Shell Hat glimmering with rainbow light.
The Thorn Pattern on Lord Leonard's Sword was bizarrely absorbing the splattered blood scab.
"Wooah—" Luna suddenly erupted with a deafening cry, her chubby little hand deftly grabbing Second Brother’s waist where the Starlight Stone was located.
Pure magic flow exploded forth, forcing back the encroaching black mist that was devouring the barrier by three inches.
Aelia’s Wedding Ring directed its strong light toward the infant, leaving an Ice Crystal Mark on her Mei Xin.
Clang!
The eldest brother's Ice Pick slipped from his grasp and plunged into the ground, causing frost flowers on its handle to spread along the Earth Rift into a Hexagram Formation.
Everyone stared in shock as an Ice Spider, thin as hair, crawled out from the Old Woman’s sunken eye sockets. These creatures, which should have been transparent, were now covered in barbs and were ravenously gnawing at the bloody handprints on the coffin's interior.
"It is the Symbiotic Curse." Lucius suddenly extinguished the blood scab on his palm, revealing a spider web-like black mark on his pale fingertip. "The Caster has intertwined their life force with..." He coughed violently, expelling a shard of ice along with Xue Mo, causing the Detection Crystal to shatter into powder.
Aelia swiftly swung her sword, severing the black mist that enveloped Lucius. As Jian Feng brushed past Leonard's cuff, the gilded cufflinks sparked unexpectedly.
She failed to notice her husband's suddenly darkened expression; all her attention was drawn to the bizarre occurrence within the coffin—the old woman's cracked lips were opening at an unnatural angle, revealing a tongue covered in dense Mama's Curse.
"Fall back to the edge of the spiritual barrier!" Second Brother suddenly tore off his Starry Stone Necklace, and the shattered gems formed a light cocoon around Luna.
Brother San trembled as he infused magic into the formation, only to see his palm print being eroded by a black line.
An ancient pressure from underground suddenly materialized into a bone claw, lunging fiercely toward the infant swaddling.
At that critical moment, Luna abruptly ceased her loud cry.
From the Turtle Shell Hat erupted a rainbow light, revealing emerging ancient runes that froze the bone claw just half an inch from her nose.
The baby's clear pupils shimmered with lustrous gold as her chubby right hand pierced through the barrier, pressing firmly against the old woman's sunken chest.
"Yee...ah!" A soft cooing sound filled with milkiness echoed as the Ice Spider Silk woven swaddle suddenly expanded.
Aelia realized that the ice crystal on her wedding ring was melting, and a black line began to emerge from within the gilded ring's inner wall, mirroring that on the old woman's neck.
She lowered her awareness to remove the ring but was grasped by Leonard at her wrist. "Madam, beware of backlash."
A thunderous roar resonated from underground as Luna's rainbow barrier suddenly contracted into a glowing sphere.
The crowd watched in shock as the infant's forehead, marked with the Ice Crystal Mark, cracked open with fine lines, oozing Golden Red Blood Pearls.
The falling Blood Pearls aligned perfectly with the Coffin Blood Handprint, piecing together a fragmented Magic Fortress Totem under the moonlight.
"It’s the Sacrificial Array." The eldest brother suddenly sliced his palm with an Ice Pick, smearing blood on the chipped edge of the pickaxe. "With my Ice Bloodline..." He didn’t finish his sentence before a violent cough erupted, and the ice crystals on the Wheelchair Armrest suddenly spread across the Spider Web cracks.
The Second Brother's Starry Stone Necklace exploded in response, sending shards flying that cut into Brother San's fingers as he was performing Jie Yin.
Amidst the chaos, Luna suddenly giggled, her small hand stained with Golden Blood grasping a wisp of black mist.
Aelia's Wedding Ring unexpectedly slipped off her finger and hovered in midair, casting a Lustrous Gold Thorned Crown over the infant's head.
Leonard's hand back bulged with veins as his cloak billowed without wind.
As the Thorned Crown aligned with the blood totem in the coffin, Shan Na let out a screech that sounded like sandpaper scraping against wood.
The Ice Spiders gnawing at her eyes burst apart, and the splattered Hei Xue crystallized in midair into a Little One—Traitor Forever Falls into Spider's Nest.
"It’s Mother’s Tiny Inscriptions!" Aelia suddenly stumbled and pushed past Lucius, causing her Wedding Ring to drop and leave an icy scorch mark on her skirt.
Leonard swiftly caught the falling ring, and as his fingertip brushed against its inner circle, a Blood Pearl emerged.
Luna suddenly grasped Aelia’s Moonstone Pendant at her chest, her fingers stained with Golden Blood tracing crooked runes along the silver chain.
The Ice Crystal Mark on the infant's forehead suddenly glowed brightly, casting a Rainbow Light on the Coffin Lid that formed a distorted Ancient Elvish Language—"Save."
"She wants us to save someone!" Qin Si exclaimed, covering her mouth as the Ice Crystal Pendant on the Gilded Hairpin jingled wildly.
Aelia looked down at her daughter's Pupil, which shimmered with Lustrous Gold, suddenly recalling what the Nurse had said last night about Luna laughing at the crystal ball in a peculiar manner.
The infant Chubby's Palm was now pressing against the Ice Crystal Fragments left on her Wedding Ring, and those fragments that should have melted were inexplicably reconstituting into a Micro Star Map.
Leonard suddenly grasped his wife's shoulder. "The Soul-Eating Spider's symbiote cannot be saved." The Obsidian Ring on his pinky finger felt slightly warm; it was the Blood Curse artifact given by Leonard's Concubine last year during Ailya's Birthday Rune.
The Thorn Pattern of Leonard's Sword had unknowingly crept along the edges of the coffin, greedily sucking up the Hei Xue seeping from the Old Woman's decaying skin.
"Wah—" Luna suddenly spread her Five Fingers, and the Rainbow Light bursting from her Palm pushed Leonard's Sword back by three inches.
The Ice Spider Silk on the Infant Swaddling surged violently, wrapping around Qin Si's trembling Wrist and yanking her toward the coffin in a staggering motion.
Brother San's Wheelchair emitted a piercing screech as his damaged Magic Circuit briefly revived under the illumination of the Rainbow Light, causing Ice Blue Xing Mang to burst from his Fingertip.
"Do as Young Miss says!" Qin Si gritted her teeth, gripping the edge of the coffin as the Gilded Armor hissed under the corrosive effect of Dark Magic.
Suddenly, Leonard's Sword from three Magic Castle attendants unsheathed and hovered in mid-air, with the Family Crest on its hilt projecting a Bloodlight Column that enveloped the coffin in an interwoven Light Web.
Lucius suddenly covered his Right Eye and knelt down, black mist seeping through his fingers—he had been invaded by a similar dark mist when he destroyed an Extramarital Token for Father last night.
As Shan Na shredded the Coffin Lid with Ice Spider Silk, the entire Ground of Luanzanggang suddenly collapsed into a Spider Web formation.
The Old Woman's withered body floated in a vortex of decaying earth and Rainbow Light, and three Compound Eyes suddenly opened on her rotting neck.
Aelia's Wedding Ring shot out Ice Spikes in a panic, but upon touching the eyes, they melted into a black liquid of Stench.
"Use Starlight Stone to purify it!" Second Brother suddenly tore off three strands of hair, which ignited into Silver Fire the moment they touched Luna's Swaddling.
However, the Starlight Stone that should have shone was now shrouded in Haze—ever since his dear friend gifted him the poisoned artifact half a month ago, these Magic Gems had not glimmered again.
Luna suddenly grasped Second Brother's poisoned finger, and the Golden Red Blood Pearl seeped into the Starlight Stone along her palm lines.
The baby let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, and everyone was horrified to see the Old Woman's neck burst with Compound Eyes in the Rainbow Light, splattering Hei Xue that condensed mid-air into a totem of the Magic Fortress Dungeon.
Aelia suddenly recalled the Bronze Torture Rack she had dreamt of during her pregnancy; the Chain Patterns entwined around the stone pillars were now Emerging from the Old Woman's decaying ankle.
"Lift Bing Shu away." Luna grabbed Aelia's collar and pointed towards the direction of the Magic Castle, her baby's voice wrapped in an unusual Resonance.
The Gilded Thorn Crown's Xu Ying suddenly appeared atop her head, and Leonard's hand back pressed against his sword as his Veins bulged—this was clearly the Crown form of Heir of the Lord.
During transport, the Old Woman's rotting skin continued to peel away, leaving charred Curses imprinted on the ice crystal stretcher.
As the Mage lifted her tattered clothing, the entire Bing Shu's Defensive Formation emitted a wail—embedded at the heart was half a Gilded Family Crest, perfectly matching the pattern on Leonard's cufflink.
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly fell to the ground, rolling along the Ice Surface towards her husband's boots. At the moment Leonard bent down to pick it up, everyone saw dark Spider Web marks Emerging from his nape, identical to those on the Old Woman.
"The dark Dark Magic has eroded the Lingmai core." The Mage trembled as he picked up a writhing piece of flesh with his tweezers. "Unless we can find the Mother Body of the Symbiotic Curse..." His unfinished words were interrupted by Luna's sudden Loud Cry; the baby was slapping a Crystal Bottle with hands smeared in Yao Zhi, causing an Ice Spider inside to frantically crash against the cork marked with an Outer Courtyard Emblem.
Second Brother suddenly kicked over an Herb Basket at his feet, and withered Moonlight Grass twisted into a "danger" character on the Ice Surface.
His poisoned fingers caressed the Jade Ring gifted by his dear friend, the remnants of Dark Magic quietly eroding his heart through the Bloodline.
When the Old Woman suddenly convulsed and spat out an Ice Shard along with Hei Xue, he took a step back, knocking over the Spellbook that Lucius was holding. Among the Yellowed Pages, one page annotated with a map of Outer Chamber Villa was soaked by Hei Xue.
The Dome's Magic Crystal was suddenly shrouded in Haze, and the poisoned Fingertip of Second Brother left a Scorch Mark on the icy surface.
He stared at the half Gilded Family Crest within the Old Woman's chest, stepping back as his Adams Apple rolled. "This pile of rotting flesh is filled with curses; it would be better to..." As the Jade Ring brushed against his sleeve, memories of Leonard's Last Night three months ago flashed before him, "...let it self-destruct."
The brittle sound of Aelia's Wedding Ring hitting the ground echoed in Bing Shu.
Luna suddenly grabbed her Mother's flowing silver hair, her small hand stained with Golden Blood tracing Rainbow Light runes on her Earlobe.
The Ice Crystal Mark on the baby's forehead projected onto the ice wall, revealing the curled silhouette of a girl in the Magic Fortress Dungeon—none other than Liujin's distant illegitimate daughter who had gone missing twenty years ago.
"The Third Young Lady's guardian butterfly..." Qin Si suddenly covered her mouth as the Family Crest inside her Gilded Wristguard began to heat up.
Years ago, when she accompanied Aelia's Dowry, she had seen this illegitimate daughter’s Image in the Lord's Study; the figure in the painting also had a similar moonstone on her Earlobe.
Luna suddenly broke free from her swaddling, and the Ice Spider Silk woven Fabric unfolded into a Star Map in mid-air.
The baby's Chubby feet accurately landed on Second Brother's Waist, where Leonard's Sword had its Liujin swallowing mouth. The sword's hilt released a frozen butterfly wing—a remnant of the guardian spirit from the Image of that illegitimate daughter.
Leonard suddenly pressed down on the sword hilt, and Ice Shards falling from his cloak transformed mid-air into a Thorned Cage.
The dark marks of the Spider Web spread from the Lord's nape to his Ear, his voice wrapped in a cracking noise like an Ice Layer: "The symbiote of the Soul-Eating Spider must..."
"Yi Ya!" Luna suddenly grasped the floating remnants of butterfly wings, Rainbow Light enveloping Golden Blood seeping into the ice crystal.
The Defensive Formation of Bing Shu's walls suddenly reversed, and beneath the rotting skin of the Old Woman, Emerging Golden Veins resonated with the Ice Crystal Fragments left behind when Aelia's Wedding Ring fell to the ground.
Lucius suddenly knelt on one knee, the silver chain binding his hair sparking with fire.
The black mist he had been tainted with when he destroyed the Extramarital Token last night was now burning along his spine, scorching his Lingmai: "I'll carry her." The young man tore off the cloak embroidered with Purification Rune and wrapped it around the Old Woman. "Ice Spider Silk can temporarily isolate..."
"Not allowed!" The Second Brother's Jade Ring suddenly erupted with Black Radiance, the Poison Curse gifted by a dear friend burning through his Bloodline to his Heart.
He stumbled and knocked over the Magic Potion rack, withered Moonlight Grass forming the character for "danger" on the Ice Surface, now being rewritten by Luna's Golden Blood—fragments of Ancient Elvish Language spelling "hope" flowed within the Rainbow Light.
Luna suddenly grasped Lucius's trembling Fingertip, the Temperature of her infant Palm briefly causing the black marks of Spider Web on his Hand Back to fade.
The Old Woman on the ice crystal stretcher suddenly convulsed, her rotting Lips moving to expel Ice Shards, each fragment reflecting the patterns of Glazed Tiles from the Outer Chamber Villa.
"Take her to the East Tower." Aelia suddenly picked up the Wedding Ring, and Ice Crystal Fragments reformed in her Palm into Xu Ying, a key for Liujin.
This mark could unlock the family’s secret vault, and at this moment it resonated with half of a Family Crest located at the Old Woman’s heart: "Use our ancestor's Eternal Frozen Coffin."
During transport, Lucius's cloak's Purification Rune continuously peeled away.
With each step he took on the Stone Steps, Web-like Cracks emerged on the surface of Judgment Ice Steps.
Luna curled up in Qin Si's embrace, her clear eyes reflecting the thorned tattoo gradually appearing on the back of the boy's neck—an emblem that should belong to the Heir of the Lord.
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly grabbed Lucius's silver chain.
Amidst the crushed ice crystals beneath the boy's boot sole, a substance seeped out, resembling the dark blood of the Old Woman.
At the moment the Ice Coffin activated, the moonlight surrounding the East Tower twisted abruptly. The Ice Spider Silk on Luna's swaddling suddenly ensnared Lucius's wrist, branding his palm with the Xu Ying of a Gilded Thorn.
As the Eternal Frozen Coffin closed around Shan Na, Lucius stumbled and leaned against a stone pillar.
Between his fingers, ice crystal fragments trickled out, faintly revealing the carved window lattice of the Outer Chamber Villa—the same patterns adorned the bloody letter destroyed last night.
The thorned tattoo on his neck suddenly throbbed, and in a daze, he heard faint sounds from deep within the Ice Coffin, like a swarm of spiders gnawing at bone joints.
The spiral stone steps of the East Tower glimmered in a bluish-gray hue under the moonlight as the Old Woman on Lucius's back suddenly convulsed.
A gnawing sound echoed in his ears, and he hazily saw ice crystals growing in a spider web pattern from his fingertips—those blood-stained silks had formed similar designs in the ashes when he burned the Extramarital Token last night.
"...the spiders are gnawing at the moon..." Lucius's silver chain suddenly snapped, and the Ice Crystal Pendant struck the stone steps, sparking flames.
A layer of haze floated in his pupils, and he realized that his boot sole had unknowingly seeped out dark blood similar to that of the Old Woman. "The Ice Brick on the seventh level of the dungeon... bears my mother's family crest..."
Aelia suddenly tightened her grip on her wedding ring.
The black line remaining on the inner wall of her gilded ring traced along her ring finger's bloodline, coalescing into a rose tattoo identical to that of the Outer Courtyard at her palm.
The wheelchair of Brother San suddenly emitted a harsh screech, as his damaged Magic Circuit sensed a certain Resonance. The Ice Blue Xing Mang flickered uncertainly at his fingertips.
Luna abruptly seized the clasp of Qin Si's Gilded Wristguard, her infant fingers, smeared with Yao Zhi, tracing ripples across the icy surface.
The Old Woman's emaciated chest suddenly erupted with the sound of a heartbeat, causing the surface of the Eternal Frozen Coffin to crack with spiderweb-like patterns.
Those Hei Xue that should have been frozen began to writhe like living creatures, crawling along the Ice Coffin's Inscription towards Lucius's neck, where the Thorned Tattoo lay.
"Don't touch!" Second Brother suddenly flung a Jade Ring, and the poisoned artifact exploded into green mist in midair.
From the seams of his darkened Ailya's White Nails seeped Ice Shard—Healing Holy Medicine gifted by a close friend three months ago—now producing a strange Resonance with the Ice Coffin.
The Defensive Formation of the Magic Castle Dome unexpectedly reversed, and moonlight solidified into sharp arrows shooting towards the Old Woman, Mei Xin.
Luna suddenly burst into laughter reminiscent of Yin Ling.
The Ice Spider Silk of the Infant Swaddling surged and ensnared the Light Arrow, while Golden Red Blood Pearl seeped into the Ice Coffin along the Silk.
When the Blood Pearl touched the Gilded Family Crest at the Old Woman's heart, the entire East Tower's Peacock Stone Tiles suddenly emerged, revealing the Bronze Statue of the First Lord of the Magic Fortress. An Ice Spider was frantically gnawing at Leonard's cufflink pattern from within its eye socket.
"Awake... awake!" Qin Si's Gilded Armor hissed as it corroded.
The Old Woman in the Ice Coffin suddenly opened her eyes, murky pupils swirling with a lustrous gold similar to Luna's.
Her withered fingers grasped Aelia's Wedding Ring as it fell from its silver chain, and her throat emitted a raspy roar akin to sandpaper: "...the blood moon hangs high... the spider nest emerges..."
Lucius suddenly staggered and leaned against the Ice Coffin.
The Thorned Tattoo on the back of the boy's neck was burning, and in a daze, he saw himself standing on an altar covered with ice Spider Eggs—this scene overlapped with the mural he had seen when he accidentally entered the secret chamber of Outer Chamber Villa at the age of seven.
The silver chain binding his hair suddenly melted into Liquid, and the dripping metal formed the External Family Crest on the Ice Surface.
"Be careful of the backlash!" His elder brother's Ice Pick suddenly blocked the way in front of everyone.
The ice crystals on the Wheelchair Armrest crawled up the Black Line, and those curses that should have been suppressed by Bloodline were now reviving along with the Coldness spreading from the Ice Coffin.
Luna suddenly grabbed her brother's tattered sleeve, and the Rainbow Light from her infant Palm illuminated the Spider Web scar on the inner side of his Wrist—that was a mark left by Magic Backlash three years ago.
An Old Woman suddenly let out a piercing Qian Jiao, her decayed Fingertip pointing towards the reflection of the Ice Coffin.
Everyone was horrified to see Ice Spiders crawling all over Leonard's cloak, as the Gilded Family Crest was being wrapped layer upon layer in Silk.
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly floated in mid-air, casting a Residual Shadow of a missing illegitimate daughter from Twenty Years Ago on the ice wall—at that moment, the Moonstone Pendant from the girl's Earlobe was hanging on the Old Woman's shriveled Ear Bone.
Luna suddenly pressed her forehead against the Ice Coffin, and the Liujin Thorned Crown flickered atop her head.
From the Rainbow Light bursting forth from Infant Swaddling, everyone saw a complete Magic Circuit Emerging beneath the Old Woman's decaying skin—it perfectly matched the path of her brother's Lingmai before he was struck by backlash.
The Eternal Frozen Coffin suddenly erupted with a rainbow halo, dyeing the Defensive Formation of East Tower Dome into Lustrous Gold. A curse seal long buried deep within the Magic Fortress Leyline was quietly loosening as it spread along with the cracks in the ice crystals.
