The moonlight refracted off the fragments of the Starlight Stone, creating light spots resembling a spider web, as Aelia's fingertip was grazed, drawing forth tiny blood pearls.
Qin Si hurriedly brought over a healing crystal, but upon touching the mistress's wrist, he recoiled in pain—Aelia's Frost Magic, dormant for twenty years, was now raging within her. The hem of her wedding gown, embroidered with Edelweiss, began to crystallize with ice.
“Maggie's Manor...” Aelia murmured the coordinates of Hot Spring Villa, her emerald eyes reflecting the black mist seeping from the codex base's ice cracks.
Those once-proud Starry Buttons now reassembled on the remnants of her self-stitched cloak, forming a map leading to betrayal.
Suddenly, a sound of shattering crystal chandeliers echoed from the library dome, piercing through the silence with the crunch of a wheelchair rolling over broken glass.
Her elder brother Pale gripped the wheelchair armrest tightly; beneath his tattered magic robe, the backlash of a curse mark glowed with blood light. “Mother, let my Thundercloud Puppet go…”
His words were abruptly interrupted by a loud cry from an infant.
Luna had somehow rolled off the soft couch and was now slapping at the codex base with her milk-stained hands.
As Aelia instinctively bent down to pick up her daughter, the baby’s warm palm suddenly pressed against her neck, right over the snowflake pendant.
In the explosive brilliance of an ice blue halo, Aelia saw her eighteen-year-old self standing at the wedding venue of Magic Castle.
As Leonard placed the snowflake pendant around her neck, a black spider tattoo hidden within his cufflinks began to devour the blessing magic from her hair tips.
Memories cascaded over her like a waterfall in reverse—each time during stormy nights when her husband spoke of "patrolling the barrier," and Maggie's Maid brought in calming tea with an expression that hinted at unspoken words...
“Luna?” Aelia suddenly realized that the infant in her arms had pupils glimmering with Yin Hui. Those buried doubts suddenly connected into a clear thread.
As her trembling hand brushed against the codex base, the Twenty-Eight Stars Button unexpectedly floated into a Northern Star Map, revealing that the missing seventh star region was indeed Maggie's Manor.
Her brother in the wheelchair let out a muffled groan.
The backlash curse mark on his hand twisted grotesquely into a spider shape as uncontrollable lightning elements surged towards the codex base.
In the black mist, the emerging Contract Scroll held everyone's breath—on the yellowed Parchment, Leonard and the Black Widow Council's Blood Pact were devouring the Core Energy of the Magic Castle's Defensive Formation.
"Mother, look!" Lucius lifted a shard of Starlight Stone with the tip of his sword, revealing more sinister patterns of the curse symbols under the moonlight. "These bone-eating curses disguised as the Albert Family Emblem require the blood of Close Kin for Automatic Activation."
Aelia's Snowflake Pendant suddenly burst forth with a cold light, frost spreading from her Skirt throughout the Library.
As the ice crystals crawled up Leonard's Portrait, a Purple-Black venom seeped from the back of the Frame, corroding three lines of Blood Text: Maggie's Courtyard, pregnant for seven months, Eldest Son Curse Seal, offering Frostblood Grafting Technique.
"So my Ice Magic decline isn't due to childbirth..." Aelia's Fingertip conjured an Ice Blade that hadn't appeared in Twenty Years but turned into gentle Water Mist upon touching Luna's Swaddling.
The baby suddenly grasped a strand of her white hair, pure Healing Magic flowing through her Hair, smoothing out some of the new wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
The Wheelchair emitted a grinding sound as her elder brother tore open his Magic Robe to reveal a chest covered in Curse Marks. "Detonate the Black Fog Contract with my Thunder Core! Since Father used Eldest Son as a sacrifice..." His damaged Magic Circuit suddenly lit up, and the Library Dome gathered Lei Yun.
"Wait!" Lucius swung his sword to sever the shadow cast by Lei Yun. "Don't those Starlight Stones resemble a gap in the Northern Defense Array?" As Jian Feng passed through, the curse symbols reconfigured into patterns of the Magic Castle Underground Altar.
Qin Si suddenly pointed at a flickering Milk Stain on Luna's Swaddling—it was clearly a miniature version of the Defensive Array Core rune.
The baby let out a Giggling sound, its drool-covered hand slapping against her elder brother's Hand Back on the Spider Curse Seal.
In an instant of Silver Light exploding, a sharp scream emanated from within the rebounding Curse Mark as a wisp of black mist fled frantically out the window.
Her elder brother stared blankly at the flowing Lightning Element. "Sister just... purified the black spider curse?"
As the moonlight shifted its angle, Aelia noticed half a snowflake-shaped Crystal embedded in the Codex Base Ice Cracks.
When she touched the Crystal with her Jade Pendant, Frost Magic suddenly surged into the Magic Circle beneath her feet.
The entire Library's Peacock Stone Tiles began to flip, revealing a secret passage flowing with a black-red liquid, the heavy Bloody Smell mingling with the scent of Nightingale Flower that Maggie often used.
Suddenly, the sound of a crystal chandelier swaying echoed through the corridor.
The Second Brother's silver cane came to a stop in the shadow outside the door, his Alchemical Pocket Watch Chain entwined with a wilted Iris Petal—precisely what his dear friend had pinned to his Mage Robe as a "Lucky Charm" three years ago.
The silver cane cast a spider web-like shadow on the Stained Glass as Second Brother Theodore leaned against the cold stone wall.
The Iris Petals wrapped around the Alchemical Pocket Watch Chain suddenly emitted a soft glow, projecting an image of that stormy night three years ago onto his pale knuckles—the moment when his friend Antonio pinned the "Lucky Charm" to his chest, while the Puppet Thread hidden behind the petals quietly seeped into his Magic Circuit.
"Ding—"
The Watch Case popped open, and the Ice Mist spilling from the Library's Door Gap froze the watch's Pointer.
Theodore watched as ice crystals crawled up to the top of his cane, inlaid with Amethyst. Those threads, once mistaken for Magic Circuit, suddenly manifested in Han Qi, wrapping around his heart like a spider web.
As the Bloody Smell from the Secret Passage enveloped in Nightingale Flower fragrance wafted through the porch, Theodore suddenly pressed his aching temples.
Memories surged forth like thawing glaciers—Antonio would always draw an extra Iris symbol at the seventh Node of Star Trail when teaching him to sketch Defensive Formations; every full moon night over the past three years, he inexplicably found himself at the abandoned clock tower in the Southeast Corner of Magic Castle...
"So those lost Magic Trajectories..." Theodore trembled as he tugged at his collar, and the Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly floated into the air.
The Iris Petals unfurled in the Ice Mist, revealing a Micro-Transportation Array hidden within their core.
When he touched the flickering Coordinate with Zhang Jian, a Three-Dimensional Projection of Magic Castle's Defensive Formation suddenly emerged from the back of the Pocket Watch, with the seventh Node directly connecting to Maggie's Manor's Jasmin Manor Hot Spring Pool!
A sudden crash of porcelain shattered through the Library.
Luna's swaddling had unknowingly rolled into a pile of Starlight Stone, her fingers stained with milk tracing patterns on Theodore's Alchemical Pocket Watch Projection.
The infant laughed as they playfully swatted at the floating Iris. Suddenly, where the water droplets fell, a pure Silver Light illuminated, burning the Puppet Thread on the surface of the Pocket Watch into Qing Yan.
"Second Brother, be careful!" Lucius shouted, swinging his sword to sever the Puppet Thread that had suddenly reached out from the Projection.
As Jian Feng grazed Theodore's ear, fragments of Starlight Stone unexpectedly adhered to the Sword Body, forming a miniature Defensive Formation.
Luna suddenly reached out and grabbed a fleeing wisp of black mist. As her chubby palm closed, everyone clearly heard the screech of the Black Spider.
Theodore staggered against the wall, and the Alchemical Pocket Watch clicked back into normal operation.
When he looked up again, on the Magic Star Chart emerging from the Ice Mist, those Error Nodes that had troubled him for three years were rearranging themselves in Luna's Silver Light.
At the Magic Castle's West Training Ground, Brother San Alvin punched down on the Testing Crystal.
The Detection Stone, which should have shone with seven colors, lay silent as if dead; only the Blood Pearl that had been ejected from his hand glimmered in the moonlight.
In the distance, an Ice Blue Light Column suddenly rose from the direction of the Library, causing his long-dormant Fire Element Magic Core to heat up unexpectedly.
"Even Sister..." Alvin tugged at his wine-stained clothing, gazing at the phoenix-shaped Luna that was emerging from his Heart.
This mark, once deemed a genius of Fire Element by a Mage, had not shone for five years since he believed the lie that "Magical Talent would awaken automatically."
The Training Ground trembled suddenly as ice crystals from the Library crawled up his Padded Boots.
The moment the first ice crystal touched Luna, a Gold-Red Flame ignited deep within Alvin's pupils.
His Magic Circuit, numbed by alcohol for years, awakened like molten lava. Twelve Flame Puppets in the Training Ground opened their eyes simultaneously.
He stared in shock at his hands; those Puppets that required complex spells to operate were now lining up and taking shape with his urgent breaths.
"Not a failure of talent..." Alvin tore off the Silver Wine Pot from his waist and smashed it against the wall. Amidst the splintering silver foil, he saw the truth reflected on the surface of the ice crystal—every time he cast a spell, half of his magical power was diverted to a hidden channel by Luna.
Following the direction indicated by the ice crystal, he clearly saw that the end of the passage led to his father's study, marked by the Obsidian Wall!
Suddenly, Luna's loud cry pierced through the stone wall.
As Alvin turned around, a protective dome in the Training Ground suddenly emerged, forming a light spot shaped like a baby palm.
Compelled by an instinct he couldn't explain, he reached out to touch the light spot. The dormant fire of his Phoenix Birthmark, which had been silent for five years, suddenly unfurled its wings, and the surging flames instantly melted the ice crystals throughout the Training Ground.
Inside the Library, Lucius knelt on one knee before a pile of Starlight Stones, laying Leonard's Sword horizontally beside Luna's swaddling.
The Northern Sapphire embedded in the sword's hilt suddenly resonated with the baby’s eye color, reflecting a swirling Star Map in his deep brown pupils: "Father suddenly asked me last week to learn the Dark Elf's Counter-Contract Spell—now that I think about it, those spells just happen to fill in the gaps in the Defensive Formation."
Aelia's fingertip ice blade was melting.
As she leaned down to gaze at her daughter, she noticed that on the fragment of Starlight Stone clutched by Luna, milk stains were automatically forming runes to repair the Defensive Formation.
The baby suddenly reached out and tugged at a strand of Lucius's black hair. As he instinctively bent down in pain, her drool-covered palm slapped against his Mei Xin.
Lucius stood frozen in shock.
Moonlight streamed through a crack in the dome and illuminated the damp mark on his forehead, which unexpectedly crystallized into a micro array interwoven with ice and fire.
When he instinctively grasped the sword hilt, the sword body suddenly emerged with a starry pattern identical to Luna's pupils. The cursed gaps that had been corroded were being filled one by one by silver light spots.
"Brother San's flames are restored!" Qin Si suddenly pointed out of the window in astonishment.
Underneath the rising Fire Phoenix in the southeast sky, twelve Flame Puppets were reassembling the damaged walls.
Alvin's figure flickered in and out of the flames, each step he took causing the scorched earth to bloom with crimson gold roses.
Theodore suddenly let out a muffled groan.
The Alchemical Pocket Watch in his hand erupted with an unprecedented purple light, its chain disassembling and reassembling itself, sketching a complete three-dimensional protective diagram of the Magic Castle in midair.
As his Zhang Jian unwittingly landed on a flashing red dot, a roar echoed from below the Library, the gears turning ominously—the secret passage flowing with black and red liquid began to slowly close.
Aelia's white hair danced in the magical turbulence, the Star Map projected by her Snowflake Pendant resonating with the powers of her three sons.
When she lifted Luna above her head, a silver-white halo suddenly burst forth around the infant.
As the halo swept across the walls, the venom behind Leonard's image began to boil violently, and two fine cracks appeared where the figure's pupils should have been.
Twenty miles away at Maggie's Manor Hot Spring Villa, Lucius in Leonard's hand suddenly exploded.
The black spider tattoo on his forearm writhed uncontrollably, and a large amount of stench-filled foam rose from the Jasmin Manor Hot Spring Pool.
As he irritably tugged at his collar, the silver bracelet hidden beneath his shirt suddenly grew hot—this was the "Blood Stabilizer" he had acquired that morning from a black market merchant.
When the moonlight shifted towards the Magic Castle Spire, Leonard's treasured family portrait began to seep blood.
The Full Moon Gift he had given to Luna—the silver bell embedded with black obsidian—began to move on its own within Aelia's jewelry box, and a strange red light flickered from the spider egg nestled on the Ling She.
