Leonard suddenly turned around, meeting Lucius's cold gaze, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, intensifying the anxiety that already gripped his heart.
The eerie laughter echoed throughout the Magic Castle, like a death knell, sending chills down his spine.
He forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "Lucius! What are you doing? Step aside!"
"Father, where do you intend to go?" Lucius ignored Leonard's Ailya's Roar, his tone still icy as he advanced step by step, the In Hand wand flickering with a ghostly blue light, resembling a venomous snake ready to strike.
"With the Magic Castle surrounded, shouldn't you stay to oversee the situation?"
Sweat trickled down Leonard's forehead as he felt an overwhelming pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.
It was then that he became aware of his usually docile son’s current demeanor.
Meanwhile, in Luna's room, Xiao Luna sat cross-legged on the soft carpet, her small brows furrowed tightly, her pink lips pressed into a straight line.
She could sense a tense atmosphere in the air; a powerful Magical Fluctuation was emanating from outside the Magic Castle, oppressive enough to make one gasp for breath.
This was the turning point where the Glorious Demon Fortress in the original story began its decline!
She suddenly opened her eyes, determination shining within them.
No, she absolutely could not allow tragedy to repeat itself!
She would protect this home and those she cared about!
Taking a deep breath, she slowly closed her eyes and began to channel the magic within her.
A powerful energy surged through her small body, like a slumbering dragon awakening, radiating an awe-inspiring aura.
On the other side, Aelia stood atop the high city wall, gazing at the dense crowd in the distance; they were the magical forces from The Nations.
Recalling her husband's betrayal, her heart still ached, but at this moment, she had to muster her spirit to protect the glory of the Glorious Demon Fortress!
“Qin Si,” she turned to the Maid beside her, her tone resolute, “go summon all the elders to gather at the Assembly Hall!”
Qin Si looked at her mistress's determined eyes, filled with admiration. She knew that although her mistress appeared fragile on the outside, her inner strength was immense.
She respectfully bowed and turned to leave, her steps firm and powerful.
In the elder brother's room, he gazed out at the overcast sky, his brow furrowed. The once vibrant spirit within him had long been replaced by the pain of Magic Backlash; he felt like a wounded eagle, unable to soar through the skies.
Suddenly, he sensed a powerful Magic Fluctuation coming from Luna's room. A jolt of surprise ran through him—could it be…?
He sprang to his feet, hope flickering in his eyes. Luna, this extraordinary child, might bring him new hope!
Leaning on his cane, he made his way toward Luna's room, his steps growing faster and more determined.
In the Second Brother's room, he held a ring intricately carved with Magic Patterns, a gift from a once dear friend that had now become an everlasting pain in his heart.
He recalled the betrayal by that friend, filled with resentment and bitterness.
At that moment, Brother San rushed in, panting heavily. “Second Brother, it's bad! The Various Nations' Magical Forces are closing in on the Magic Castle!”
Second Brother looked up sharply, gripping the ring in his hand. After a long sigh, he finally placed it back into the drawer.
"Let's go," he patted Brother San's thin shoulders. "Now is not the time to dwell on personal grudges; we must unite to protect the Magic Castle!"
Brother San looked into Second Brother's determined eyes, filled with admiration.
He knew that although Second Brother appeared indifferent on the outside, he was filled with a strong sense of responsibility and justice within.
They stepped out of the room together, gathering the Mages of the Magic Castle to prepare for a united defense against external threats.
A powerful force of unity spread throughout the Magic Castle, like a wildfire that could not be contained.
In Luna's room, the intense Magic Fluctuation grew stronger, causing the furniture to tremble slightly and filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Luna slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling with brilliance, like the brightest star in the night sky.
She gently extended her small hand and whispered, "Guard!"
A dazzling light shot from her hand, soaring into the sky...
In the Assembly Hall, Aelia sat upright, listening to the Elders' reports with a furrowed brow.
At that moment, a Knight rushed in in a panic, kneeling on the ground and shouting in terror, "My lady! It's bad! Above the Magic Castle..."
Leonard looked into Lucius's scrutinizing and cold eyes, feeling his remaining authority as Lord crumble like a sandcastle in a storm, teetering on the brink of collapse.
He feigned calmness and coughed twice, trying to mask his inner turmoil. "Nonsense! The defense arrangements of the Magic Castle are proceeding in an orderly manner; I just... just wanted to see if there was anything overlooked!"
As he spoke, he discreetly glanced around with his peripheral vision.
The guards of the Magic Castle continued their patrols dutifully, but their eyes betrayed unease and confusion.
He realized that his status as Lord had diminished significantly in their eyes due to the approaching Various Nations' Magical Forces and the exposure of family scandals.
"Father, let me accompany you," Lucius's voice remained cold but carried an imperceptible hint of concern. "After all, your safety is what matters most."
Hearing his son's words, Leonard felt a mix of emotions swirling within him.
He knew that Lucius was watching him, preventing him from fleeing at the last moment.
Yet he had no choice but to accept this "kindness," for he understood that he could no longer control the situation.
He forced a smile and nodded, "Well, with you here, I can feel a bit more at ease."
The two walked one after the other down the corridors of Magic Castle, the atmosphere stifling to the point of suffocation.
Leonard appeared to be directing the Mages of Magic Castle to reinforce defenses and set up Magic Traps, but deep down he knew it was all in vain.
The Various Nations' Magical Forces had come prepared; their strength far surpassed that of Glorious Demon Fortress, and the fall of Magic Castle was merely a matter of time.
He even began to regret his earlier greed and betrayal.
If it weren't for his infatuation with Leonard's Concubine, if he hadn't misappropriated the resources of Magic Castle to satisfy his own desires, Glorious Demon Fortress would not have fallen to such a state.
"Father, you seem a bit distracted," Lucius suddenly stopped, his sharp gaze fixed on Leonard. "Are you hiding something from us?"
Leonard was taken aback and quickly waved his hands in denial. "No, no! I'm just... just worried about the future of Magic Castle."
Lucius sneered but said nothing more, silently following behind Leonard.
The battle soon erupted.
The Various Nations' Magical Forces surged toward Magic Castle like a tidal wave, their spells intertwining in a dazzling yet dangerous display across the sky.
Lucius took the lead, rallying the Mages of Magic Castle to resist fiercely.
His wand moved swiftly in hand, casting magical barriers that lit up along the walls of Magic Castle, defending against the enemy's attacks.
But the enemy's assault was too fierce; the magical barriers were quickly shattered, and cracks began to appear in Magic Castle's defenses.
Lucius felt his magic rapidly depleting, and he began to feel overwhelmed.
He gritted his teeth, striving to maintain his defense. Just as despair began to settle in, a warm light suddenly enveloped him.
He looked up in surprise to see Xiao Luna standing behind him, her small palm pressed against his back, continuously channeling magic into him.
"Brother Lucius, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!" Luna's voice was youthful and clear, yet filled with strength.
Lucius felt a powerful force surge into his body; the magic that had been nearly exhausted was instantly restored, even becoming stronger than before.
He gazed at Luna in astonishment.
"Thank you, Luna," he said softly, then turned around and threw himself back into the battle with renewed vigor.
With Luna's assistance, he felt as if he possessed boundless strength.
His wand in hand moved faster and more fiercely, unleashing powerful spells that repelled the enemies before him.
He saw those who had once looked down on him, those who had mocked his mediocre talent, now staring at him with shock and awe.
He knew he had proven his worth; he had become the hero of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
And all of this was thanks to Luna.
As the battle reached a fever pitch, Luna suddenly closed her eyes and began to chant an Ancient Spell.
Her voice, though young, resonated with authority and power, as if an ancient Magic Goddess had descended upon the world.
As she chanted, a tremendous surge of magic erupted from her, sweeping across the entire Magic Castle like a volcanic eruption.
A dazzling beam of light shot from her, piercing the sky and turning it a brilliant gold.
The radiant light was filled with divine and pure power, dispelling all darkness and evil.
The magical forces of various nations were stunned by this powerful force, their assault halting instantly.
They looked in terror at the dazzling light above the Magic Castle, their hearts filled with fear and unease.
"What... what kind of power is this?" one Mage stammered, "Could it be a Miracle?"
"Impossible! This cannot be!" another Mage vehemently countered, "How could there be such a powerful force in this world?"
Yet, no matter how they denied it, the truth was right before their eyes.
The power unleashed by Luna had far exceeded their comprehension, even surpassing the limits of this world.
Aelia stood on the castle wall, watching the brilliant light released by Luna, her heart filled with comfort and excitement.
She knew that Luna was the hope of the Glorious Demon Fortress and the key to changing the destiny of the Magic Castle.
She turned to Qin Si beside her and said firmly, "Qin Si, send the order down for all Mages to fully cooperate with Luna. We must defend the Magic Castle!"
Qin Si looked at her mistress's determined gaze, filled with admiration.
She understood that although her mistress appeared fragile on the outside, her inner strength was immense.
With a respectful bow, she turned and left, her steps firm and resolute.
Under the illumination of Luna's light, the Mages of the Magic Castle were invigorated. They unleashed their most powerful spells and engaged in a desperate battle against their enemies.
The Magic Castle, which had been on the verge of collapse, regained its vitality with Luna's power.
The defenses of the Magic Castle became even more robust, and the Magic Trap grew increasingly lethal.
Although the Various Nations' Magical Forces were numerous and powerful, they could never breach the defenses of the Magic Castle under Luna's radiant light.
The battle raged on for an entire day and night, with heavy casualties on both sides.
In the end, the Various Nations' Magical Forces chose to retreat.
They understood that under Luna's protection, capturing the Glorious Demon Fortress was impossible.
When news of their retreat spread, the entire Magic Castle erupted in celebration.
People cheered and rejoiced, commemorating this great victory.
They regarded Luna as a hero, a deity.
They knelt before her, expressing their gratitude and admiration.
Luna looked at the grateful faces around her, her heart swelling with joy.
She knew she had successfully defended the Glorious Demon Fortress and protected those she cared about.
Yet, she also recognized that this was merely the beginning.
The crisis facing the Glorious Demon Fortress was far from over; Leonard's betrayal and internal family conflicts posed looming threats.
She had to continue striving and growing to truly change the Destiny of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
Within the Assembly Hall, the atmosphere post-battle was not entirely relaxed; instead, it was shrouded in a peculiar heaviness.
Aelia wearily rubbed Mei Xin's shoulders but could not hide the glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Luna's performance undoubtedly gave her a glimpse of hope and further solidified her resolve.
At that moment, Leonard, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up. His face was pale, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.
"You all," he began slowly, his voice hoarse, "I have an important decision to announce."
Aelia's heart sank. She sensed that what Leonard was about to say would bring even greater turmoil to the Magic Castle.
She stared at him intently, trying to see through to the true thoughts hidden deep within him.
"I have decided..." Leonard paused for a moment, taking a deep breath as if he had made a certain resolution, "to pass the title of Lord to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp voice interrupted him: "Father, what are you saying?!"
It was Lucius, looking at Leonard with shock on his face, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Leonard ignored him and continued, "to..."
"Enough!" Aelia suddenly stood up, glaring at Leonard. Her voice trembled with anger. "Leonard, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Leonard looked at her with a complex expression, hesitating to speak.
"You..." Aelia's chest rose and fell rapidly. Remembering his past betrayals, a surge of fury rushed to her head. She gritted her teeth and said each word deliberately, "Have you... been planning this all along?!"
