As the smoke from the dungeon explosion wafted into the dining hall, Luna was tracing a Teleportation Circle on the tablecloth with her fingers, still sticky from Ling Gui Soup.
Emerald Eyes reflected the bulging veins on Leonard's neck—his black Spider Tattoo was oozing purple-black pus, crushed beneath the weight of a tortoise claw bone.
"Madam!" Qin Si burst through the toppled Silver Candelabra, presenting a half-shattered Marriage Contract Scroll to Aelia.
The moment the Ice Blue Tassel at the edge of the scroll brushed against Aelia's Wedding Ring, a Vine Flower Bud suddenly bloomed with crimson petals, devouring all the Puppet Threads from the illusion of Third Young Master Lucius.
Noah's Wheelchair emitted a crackling sound like glaciers breaking apart.
This Eldest Son, disabled for ten years due to Taboo Magic Backlash, surprisingly steadied himself against the dining table and slowly stood up.
The steam from Ling Gui Soup wrapped around his pale knuckles, mending the meridians that had been corroded by Dark Element.
"Father once said that Glacier Magic would shake the foundations of the Magic Castle," he said, glancing at Leonard's collar where the Black Spider struggled. "Yet your neck's Dark Night Spider clearly requires Millennium Ice from Extreme North Land to thrive."
Luna suddenly giggled and pushed the last half bowl of Ling Gui Soup toward her trembling Brother San.
As the soup bowl touched the table, Shan Na, the young boy's Hand Back Magic Circuit suddenly glowed with golden radiance—those talents guided by Error were being restructured by pure spiritual energy.
"We set off immediately." Aelia tore off the wilted rose from her Wedding Ring, and the thorny vines instantly transformed into Xuan Tie Chang Jian.
As she turned around, ice crystals swept off her skirt and formed a Star Map on the ground, revealing the Magic Fortress Underground Passage. The Defensive Formation that Leonard had altered over twenty years began to materialize under the surge of spiritual energy.
As twilight soaked into the misty forest surrounding the Magic Castle, remnants of Ling Gui Soup's effects still flowed through everyone's bloodlines.
Lucius held up a Detection Crystal to clear a path; those ancient trees once tainted by Black Magic spontaneously lowered their branches, paving a starlit path for this Awakened Team.
"Madam, the prisoners in the West Dungeon..." Qin Si suddenly grasped Aelia's cloak.
She held the Astrolabe in her hands, and the dark prison area, which should have been pitch black, was now enveloped by the Rainbow Light refracted from the Spirit Turtle Shell—those deemed irredeemable Dark Sorcerers by Leonard were regaining clarity within the Purification Barrier.
Aelia pressed down on the newly formed Thorn Pattern on her Wedding Ring. "Let's finish dealing with the Contract Scroll first..." Before she could finish, Second Brother, walking at the back of the group, suddenly groaned and fell to his knees.
The spiritual power awakened by Ling Gui Soup was tearing at the Curse Mark on his chest, a Heart Devouring Curse planted by a so-called close friend.
Luna's Turtle Shell Hat suddenly emitted a hum reminiscent of Leonard's sword.
Baby Fat's small hand precisely pressed against Second Brother Mei Xin, guiding the Curse Power into the core of a nearby man-eating flower.
When Yao Hua exploded into Zi Wu, everyone saw through the mist Leonard exchanging tokens with a Fox-Fur Cloaked Woman at the Northern Ice Cliff.
"Pick up the pace." Aelia's Sword Tip pierced through the illusion, but she stumbled back a step as ice crystals fell—on the unnamed woman's ring finger was a Spider-Shaped Ring that mirrored the tattoo on Leonard's neck.
At midnight, the moonlight over the Magic Castle Spire was suddenly swallowed by dark clouds.
Lucius's Crystal Compass spun wildly at the edge of the barrier, its Pointer directly aimed at the Back Mountain Chaos Burial Mound.
A cry mixed with Resentment pierced through the Defensive Formation, startling all the Ye Ya in the forest.
"It's a freshly buried grave." Brother San's Magical Talent was exceptionally sharp under the enhancement of spiritual power.
The light ball he gathered at his fingertip illuminated the still-damp Blood Text on the tombstone, revealing the name of the Magic Castle Steward’s daughter who had died unexpectedly two weeks ago—but everyone clearly remembered seeing that Freckled Girl stealing Cherry Pie in the kitchen just three days ago.
Luna suddenly ripped off her Turtle Shell Hat and threw it towards the grave.
Amidst the loud cries of a baby, the Spirit Turtle Shell unfolded a barrier in mid-air, trapping the escaping Resentment into an Ink-colored Vortex.
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly sprouted thorny vines that wrapped around the coffin, but when they touched the coffin lid, they were repelled by a chilling force.
"Mother, look." Luna dipped her fingers in Ling Gui Soup and traced a simple magical array on the coffin lid.
As the soup seeped into the wood grain, everyone saw dozens of ice blue and dark purple threads emerge from within the coffin—identical to the dark purple threads that Third Young Master Lucius manipulated with the cursed doll in his illusion. At this moment, they connected to the carved bed where the Demon Fortress Master lay.
Aelia's Jian Feng hovered three inches above the coffin, the vine-like hilt blooming with toxic buds. "The private punishment of the Glorious Demon Fortress is not for..." Before she could finish her sentence, Luna applied the last drop of Ling Gui Lei onto Mother’s blade.
The purifying power cleaved through the coffin with Shan Na, and a dark aura, originating from Leonard, surged forth, manifesting under the moonlight as a remnant page of a contract scroll.
Aelia's Jian Feng trembled slightly above the coffin, as the newly sprouted thorn pattern on her pale fingers spread along her knuckles.
In the twilight, a gust of foul wind suddenly swept through Luanzanggang, sending Luna's Turtle Shell Hat rolling to the foot of a gravestone.
"Mother," Luna traced a starry pattern on the coffin lid with her fingers smeared in Ling Gui Soup. The unique mental resonance of an infant directly entered Aelia's mind. "The remnant page of the Magic Castle Contract is with Luna."
Brother San suddenly pressed down on his overheated magic circuit, golden radiance piercing through his embroidered defensive charm sleeves. "There's a fluctuation of Space Folding Technique at the bottom of the coffin; at least three layers of mirrored barriers have been overlaid."
Lucius's Lucius' Crystal Compass suddenly shattered into pieces. He staggered and leaned against Second Brother's thin shoulders. "The source of resentment isn't the corpse; it's embedded in the hidden layer of the coffin... ah!" His palm suddenly revealed bite marks from an ice spider that mirrored Leonard's neck tattoo.
"Everyone step back!" Aelia's Xuan Tie Chang Jian abruptly changed direction, and thorny vines ensnared her three sons' calves.
The thorn pattern on her Wedding Ring had already climbed up to her neck, blooming into a bloody black rose at her collarbone—this was a primal magic instinct to protect her bloodline from the Glorious Demon Fortress matron.
Luna suddenly let out an urgent loud cry, her small hand covered in Ling Gui Soup striking heavily against the blood text on the gravestone.
The name of the freckled girl, "Emily," twisted into a totem of a dark night spider. The still-wet blood flowed back along the stele inscription under the moonlight, converging into Leonard's family crest.
"Last month, my father sent me a Space Ring..." Noah suddenly pressed down on the Wheelchair Armrest, his temples throbbing as the repairing deity Meridian worked on him. "There was a shipping order for the Northern Ice Crystal signed by Emily, but the butler said she contracted scarlet fever six months ago."
Qin Si's Astrolabe suddenly hovered above the coffin, its surface reflecting the butler's bedroom where Xu Ying was.
Everyone saw that on the Grooming table, Ankeli had six Voodoo Dolls with Ailya's Birthday Rune affixed to them. Three of the dolls were eerily twisting their limbs in perfect alignment with the old injuries on Noah's knee, Second Brother's heart, and Brother San's fingertip.
Luna suddenly reached out and grabbed Aelia's Wedding Ring, the remnants of Ling Gui Soup flowing upward against the Thorn Pattern.
At the moment Light Gold energy infused into the black rose Bud, Leonard's Ailya's Roar exploded in their ears: "Who dares to touch the Contract of the Lord of the Northern Territory!"
"Dig." Aelia suddenly severed the vine bindings, her Xuan Tie Chang Jian plunging into the grave and causing countless ice crystals to fall.
The black rose on her Wedding Ring was turning snow white under the purification of Ling Gui Soup. "The authority of the Lady of the Demon Fortress covers all territories, including Luanzanggang."
Noah's Wheelchair suddenly disassembled into hundreds of ice crystals, reassembling in mid-air into a chilling Ice Pick.
As his pale fingers gripped the Ice Pick, his nerves, once corroded by Dark Element, precisely controlled Magic Element to freeze the grave soil into fragile Ice Shards.
The scar on Second Brother's chest from the Heart Devouring Curse suddenly glowed, and residual Curse Power transformed into black mist that burrowed underground, corroding the outer layer of the coffin's Protective Barrier.
Brother San's Magic Circuit lit up entirely, golden radiance casting a three-dimensional Magic Circle Diagram onto the Coffin Lid: "The Hidden Layer contains a living Soulfire Transfer Array; energy fluctuations and Father's Bedroom..."
His unfinished words were interrupted by the sudden lifting of the Coffin Lid.
Thick resentment surged forth like Asphalt but emitted a baby's loud cry as it touched Luna's Purification Barrier.
The Astrolabe that Qin Si held suddenly revealed the butler’s grotesque face as he brandished a bloodied Spider-shaped Dagger aimed at his own heart.
"Don't touch Lining!" Luna's mental Resonance exploded in everyone's minds.
With her fingers stained by Ling Gui Lei, she pointed towards the interior wall of the coffin—on the crimson velvet that should have held the girl's corpse, a dense web of Ice Spider Silk glimmered with Blue Light. These Dark Purple Threads penetrated the bottom of the coffin, connecting to the "purifying" prisoners of the Magic Fortress Dungeon wearing the Crown of Heaven.
Aelia's Sword Tip suddenly froze in mid-air.
As the Purifying Power traced back along the Ice Spider Silk to the dungeon, a scratching sound echoed from within the Hidden Layer of the coffin, as if Ailya's White Nails were clawing at the wooden boards.
Brother San's Magic Circle Diagram abruptly twisted, revealing five weakly breathing children curled up in the Hidden Layer space. Each of their ankles was bound with Thorned Chains identical to Leonard's Wedding Ring.
"The mirror is about to reverse!" Lucius suddenly threw out a spare Detection Crystal.
Everyone saw that the coffin Lining was devouring moonlight, and those Ice Spider Silks visibly shifted from blue to black at an alarming rate.
Luna's Turtle Shell Hat suddenly flew back to her head, and a Rainbow Barrier erupted around the baby, enveloping the entire Luanzanggang in a surge of spiritual energy.
As her elder brother's Ice Pick pried open the last layer of boards, Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly burst forth with a blinding Strong Light.
Everyone witnessed fresh blood handprints covering the interior wall of the coffin. The still-flowing blood suddenly reversed back through their fingers, congealing into blood scabs resembling Ice Spiders under the moonlight.
Luna's Purification Barrier emitted a sound like shattering glass, as an ancient pressure beyond Ling Gui's power swept in from the Underground.
