The Frost Barrier crashed through the Carved Door of the North Tower, and as Aelia's skirt hem, embroidered with Silver Thread and Iris patterns, swept across the threshold, the Peacock Blue Carpet released a vapor similar to that in the Duke's study, thick with Asphalt Slime.
Her Qian Si Embroidered Shoes kicked aside an overturned treasure chest, causing seven Blood Crystals to roll beside Luna's swaddling. Each Crystal shimmered with Leonard's Magic Mark.
"Three years ago, Zhen Mo Shi disappeared in the extreme northern Ice Cave, and now it has become the Zhui Zi on Mistress Amethyst Hairpin?" Aelia's Scepter struck heavily against the Emerald Screen, ice crystals spreading along the tail feathers of the Liujin peacock.
Suddenly, a Dark Compartment exploded from behind the screen, releasing a cloak woven from Xing Hui—this was indeed the Heirloom that Leonard claimed had been burned by the Magic Dragon during last year's Winter Solstice Festival.
A sound of spatial Tear echoed from the courtyard, as Leonard's Jian Feng was still smeared with the Soul Insect Egg slime from the Underground Altar.
He lifted his foot to cross the Ice Spike barrier when his elder brother on the Wheelchair suddenly tightened the Thorn Vine wrapped around Leonard's Concubine's neck, forcing her to emit a near-death Sobbing. "Father might as well guess," he said, "the blood-stained Right Eye of Second Brother gazes through the Prism at the sword hilt's Iris pattern. When Mother sees you nurturing your lover's youth with Soul Devouring Insect Eggs, will it not freeze her heart directly?"
The Servants of Duke's Manor gathered outside the Moon Gate holding Insecticide, their fingers letting Fluorite light spill out to illuminate Aelia’s Memory Crystal, which was melting in her hand.
A clear holographic image projected into the air: a Horse-drawn Carriage on a Stormy Night carried a Starry Cloak towards the outskirts of town. Beneath that cloak extended a Jade Wrist adorned with an Emerald Bracelet that should have been offered in the Magic Castle’s Ancestral Hall—at this moment, that bracelet jingled against the wrist of the woman behind the screen.
"Control Eldest Son with Heart-Eating Insects and manipulate Second Son with Huan Meng Die; destroy San Zi with a fake Talent Test..." With each word Aelia spoke, her Scepter struck the Ground, leaving behind Web-like Frost Marks.
As she approached Leonard, her Ice Crystal Phoenix Hairpin suddenly transformed into a living creature, its sharp beak aimed directly at her husband's throat. "For twenty years, what you prepared for our Children as their Rite of Passage was merely to turn them into sacrifices for an Insect Nest?"
The Teleportation Circle at Leonard’s sword hilt exploded, corroded into mud by Brother San’s Alchemy Mist as he staggered and knocked over an Enamel Candelabra.
In the flickering firelight, Luna saw her mistress’s Image flowing down as Asphalt Slime gathered beneath the Duke’s feet to form a Summoning Array.
Amidst the sudden Loud Cry of an infant, Qin Si unleashed a Peacock Feather from her sleeve that precisely pierced Leonard’s neck Magic Pattern, interrupting his attempt to chant for Automatic Activation of Shadow Magic.
"You think I truly do not know that the Rose Essential Oil shipped from Black Marsh every month is mixed with Blood Essence Powder?" Aelia Boots said, as she crushed the Blood Crystal that rolled to her feet, the splintered shards leaving a trail of blood on Duke Luna.
Her frostbitten fingers suddenly brushed against her husband's Family Crest, and in front of all the household servants, she tore off the Oath Diamond embedded within it. "From this day forth, Ailya of the Northern Guardian shall don the apron of the Cocoon Administrator."
As Leonard reached out to grasp the drifting diamond dust, Luna noticed the Dark Red Contract Line emerging from his pinky finger, quietly extending towards the unconscious Leonard's Concubine.
The infant, wrapped in a Starry Moon Swaddle, suddenly grasped the Breaking the Curse Totem that hung down from Second Brother, and in what seemed like an innocent motion, struck the totem against the Contract Line—instantly exploding Golden Runes illuminated the Duke's momentarily pale face.
At that moment, the Courtyard Bell tolled midnight. Leonard gazed at his wife, who remained upright amidst the chaos on the ground, and suddenly let his sword-hand drop.
His ice-crystal lashes trembled as he slowly knelt down to touch the Marble Floor soaked with Black Slime, amidst the rising gasps from those around him.
Leonard's kneeling figure froze into an Ice Sculpture, while the Scepter clashed against the Ground, sending Residual Magic reverberating across the Peacock Blue Carpet.
His silver hair fell over his eyes, obscuring his pupils swirling with Dark Purple Magic Patterns. Yet, veins bulged on his left hand back, quietly coalescing beneath an Ice Layer into a Repentance Totem—this clever magical trick was instantly pierced by Aelia Boots' ignited Ice Flame.
"The Oath Ring on the Full Moon Altar ten years ago was far more sincere than this petty trick." Aelia's fingertip entwined with the Ice Blue and Dark Purple Thread that unraveled from the totem; it was an Emotion Spell forged from Frostwolf Blood by Leonard back in those days.
Now, as the Dark Purple Thread broke inch by inch in her palm, it transformed into Crystal Dust drifting towards Leonard's Concubine, who trembled behind the screen, forming Demon Binding Shackles around her neck with Xu Ying.
Luna reflected this exquisite manipulation of magic; her fingers wrapped in Starry Moon Swaddle curled up without awareness.
The Breaking the Curse Totem hanging before her still dripped Indigo Liquid, subtly reacting with the Blood Marrow Crystal Powder absorbed by the carpet.
The infant suddenly emitted a vague sound, and its seemingly random flailing hands pressed a totem against Brother San's waist, where an alchemical bottle rested.
"Crack—"
A sudden explosion of alchemical mist enveloped the blood crystal dust, gathering above everyone's heads into a half-formed crescent moon.
The thorn vine lurking on the armrest of the elder brother's wheelchair suddenly grew wildly, ancient runes emerging densely on its leaves.
These sealing spells, which should have vanished three years ago with Zhen Mo Shi, were now seeping into Leonard's nape, faintly revealing an insectoid mark as the mist swirled around.
"It seems even the Soul Devouring Insect Egg despises your filthy bloodline." Aelia reinserted her ice crystal phoenix hairpin into her hair, the phoenix tail feather brushing against her husband's stiff shoulder.
The curses that had seeped into his skin suddenly manifested as chains, pinning the duke firmly in place as he attempted to wield shadow magic.
Frost climbed along his luxurious garment, ultimately coalescing into a blood-red ice spike at the family crest on his chest.
In the courtyard, the servants holding insecticide instinctively took half a step back, their fluorite lamps casting light on the cracking elegant mask on the duke's face.
Leonard's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the curse; his sword, tainted with the slime of the soul insect egg, suddenly transformed into rose vines that playfully entwined Aelia's skirt—this was their favorite romantic magic from their newlywed days.
"Mother, be careful!" The elder brother on the wheelchair suddenly hurled a magic inscription tablet.
Just before the vines could reach Aelia, they erupted with spikes but were shredded into stench by the defensive formation inscribed on the tablet.
The blue blood fern juice that fell to the ground twisted into writhing red thread worms, which were promptly burned to ashes by Qin Si's timely sprinkle of peacock feather powder.
Aelia's emerald-colored pupils were filled with ice shards, and the Ice Crystal Storm gathered at the tip of her scepter sent Leonard crashing to the ground.
She stepped on her husband's right hand, which he had tried to use to Jie Yin, her boots embroidered with Frost Flowers pinning him down. As she leaned over, her cascading silver hair intertwined with his hair, creating a cruel reflection. "Do you remember the night you proposed to me, when you swore your Blood Oath in the Moonlight Forest?"
Memories flickered like shadows on the wall, carried by the Ice Mist flowing from her fingertips.
The younger Leonard, ten years her junior, knelt before the Unicorn Skeleton, driving a short sword embedded with an Oath Diamond into his heart. "By the eternal frozen Ice Field as my witness, my soul shall forever be bound to Elysia Frostsong..." The blood-soaked totem of his vow was now burning into reality's ground, scorching the Duke's hand and leaving a mark.
Luna's loud cry rang out at just the right moment.
The infant's swaddling fell away, revealing a heart with a faint Hexagram Birthmark. This mark, a sign of the Great Mage from the original tome, made Leonard's pupils constrict sharply.
He struggled to see more clearly but was blinded by Aelia's Ice Spike. "Go to the Ice Cellar and reflect on your actions! Don't let me see your hypocritical face before the Winter Solstice Festival!"
As the Duke staggered, dragged toward the Moon Gate by Thorn Vines, a sudden sound of jade bangles falling to the ground echoed from behind the screen.
Leonard's Concubine's emerald bracelet shattered into two pieces, but instead of blood, a viscous asphalt-like creature oozed out.
These writhing black substances lunged toward the nearest Second Brother but were halted mid-air by Luna wielding the Breaking the Curse Totem—unbeknownst to them, the infant's palm had grasped a fragment of Blood Crystal left behind by Qin Si.
Aelia's cold smile was more chilling than any Frost Barrier.
She raised her hand and sealed the frozen Asphalt Slime into a Crystal Bottle, its mouth entwined with the Moonlight Ribbon that Leonard had given her during their engagement. "Send these filthy things to Black Marsh," she commanded, her Ailya's White Nails painted in Dan Kou lightly tapping the bottle. "And remember to include a handwritten apology letter from the Lord of the Fortress."
As moonlight swept over the West Tower and Castle Spire, all that remained in the courtyard was a scene of devastation and an elusive scent of blood.
Luna cast one last glance at the Emerald Screen as Qin Si carried her away—behind it lay a broken jade bracelet and a hairpin adorned with a Canary design, quietly resting.
The infant Violet's eyes narrowed slightly; this was clearly a relic of Lucius, the Third Son of the Demon Fortress, from the Original, belonging to his birth mother.
Aelia's Ice Crystal Staff suddenly refracted into Sevenfold Phantom, each beam of light piercing precisely into Leonard's Concubine's trembling pupils.
The intricately painted Liu Ye Mei began to frost over, and the pearl tassel that hung at her temples shattered into powder amidst the magical tremors.
"Using Succubus Powder to mask the stench of decay is quite fitting for your new master," the matron said, flicking her fingertip. The Purple Firestone Amethyst Hairpin embedded in Leonard's Concubine's hair exploded, releasing Asphalt Slime that coalesced in midair into the Ancient Demon Script for "prostitute."
Black Slime dripped onto the woman's expensive Silk Dress, corroding it with numerous Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes.
Luna noticed that as Aelia cast her spell, the tip of the Scepter consistently avoided Leonard's Concubine's protruding belly.
The infant Violet's eyes rippled—this was unmistakably the Magic Fetus of Lucius' half-sister from the Original, yet to take form.
"Mother, the Purification Barrier in the East Tower needs recalibration," her elder brother said as he turned his Wheelchair. The Thorn Vine, entwined with runes, silently sealed all exits.
His pale fingers pressed against the Magic Crystal Stone on the Wheelchair Armrest, and suddenly, the Blood Marrow Crystal Powder absorbed by the carpet surged into a crimson Blood Mist that enveloped Leonard's Concubine.
Leonard struggled to rise but was held down by Brother San's Alchemical Chains gripping his ankles.
The Sealing Rune flowing on the chains resonated with the Insectoid Mark on the back of his neck, causing him pain that made him smash his knee against the Marble Tile. "Aelia, the child in her womb..." Duke Hoarse's defense was interrupted by the matron's cold laughter.
Aelia’s skirt embroidered with Frost Flowers swept past Leonard's Concubine’s rigid body, and suddenly, twelve bells dangled from her waist chain embedded with Ice Spirit Stones.
With each chime of the bell, the Peacock Pattern on the Emerald Screen came to life, its sharp beak pecking at the remnants of Guardian Magic surrounding the woman. "The Rose Essential Oil from Black Marsh mixed with the scent of your tears," the mistress said, leaning down to grip Leonard's Concubine's chin. "Next time you indulge in an affair, remember to choose a different spice merchant."
At the right moment, Qin Si presented the Gilded Incense Burner, which was filled with the alluring Xunxiang extracted from Leonard's Concubine's Grooming station.
Aelia lightly tapped her Scepter, twisting Qing Yan into an illusion of Leonard entwined with the woman in a passionate embrace.
As the duke in the illusion placed an Emerald Bracelet on his lover's wrist, Aelia suddenly slammed the incense burner onto the woman's head.
"Take your spoils and crawl back to your rat hole." The mistress's Fingertip erupted with an Ice Blade that severed Leonard's Concubine's Waist Sash, causing the protective talismans embroidered with Oath Diamond powder to fall away.
Second Brother's bloodied Right Eye suddenly shifted, and a Prism refracted the moonlight into a Judgment Sword, pinning the talismans into the Ground to form a forbidden Magic Circle.
Luna's swaddling blanket suddenly shimmered with starlight, and a seemingly Unintentional kick from the baby sent an Alchemical Bottle rolling right into the center of the forbidden Magic Circle.
The Indigo Liquid spilling from the bottle mixed with Blood Marrow Crystal Powder, drawing a fragmented Sacrificial Totem on the Ground—this was precisely what Leonard's Concubine had attempted to use as a Fate-Reversing Array with her Golden Hair magic.
Aelia's Emerald Color Pupil abruptly constricted as her Scepter unleashed Bing Ling, freezing the totem into an Ice Sculpture.
As she turned, her Ice Crystal Phoenix Hairpin traced an eerie arc through her hair, its tail feathers brushing against Leonard's suddenly pale face. "So you intend to turn even an Unborn Child into a Container?"
The duke opened his mouth but was interrupted by the sudden loud cry of the baby.
Luna waved her small hand and grasped Qin Si's drooping Peacock Feather, revealing a tiny Contract Rune at the tip coated in Asphalt Slime.
Aelia squinted her eyes, recognizing it as the unique Puppet Curse Seal of the Black Marsh Witch.
"It seems someone has torn the mask off before me." The matriarch suddenly chuckled, the Scepter striking heavily against the Ground.
Frost rapidly spread across the Peacock Blue Carpet, encasing Leonard's Concubine in a crystalline Ice Coffin.
The Asphalt Slime that had been swimming through the woman's Blood Vessel was forced towards Mei Xin, coalescing into a trembling spider-like form.
Leonard suddenly erupted, a Dark Red Contract Line shooting out from his pinky finger.
But Aelia had anticipated this, unfolding her Ice Mirror Barrier to deflect the Contract Line back into the duke's own Pupil.
Amidst a piercing Scream, Brother San's Alchemical Bottle accurately caught the falling Blood Pearl, the liquid within instantly boiling into a cursed shade of dark green.
"Take your bugs and Puppet and get out of my sight." Aelia raised her hand, summoning Frost Wind that sent Leonard crashing into the Enamel Candelabra.
Burning Wax dripped onto the hem of his luxurious Magic Robe, the melted Gold Thread mixing with the Soul Insect Egg and Black Slime to form a disgusting yellow-brown substance.
As the matriarch stepped over the shattered ice crystals towards the Moon Gate with Qin Si, Luna noticed Aelia's left hand hanging at her side was trembling slightly.
The baby suddenly emitted a Yiya Sound, its small hand grasping at the matriarch's drifting Silver White Hair—at the end of that strand was entwined an extremely fine Dark Red Contract Line.
Aelia paused momentarily, and her Ice Crystal Phoenix Hairpin came to life, pecking away at the contaminated Hair.
She lowered her gaze to the infant in the swaddling cloth, a rare ripple of Han Shuang flickering in her eyes: "Little one, some games are not meant for babies to partake in."
As the Courtyard Bell rang for the third time, Leonard finally struggled to rise.
His disheveled Magic Robe was stained with Ice Shard and insect fluid, twisting his once-proud features into a ridiculous expression.
The Duke staggered a few steps forward, but the collar embroidered with the Family Crest snagged on a shard of his Leonard's Sword, the Tear silk fluttering in the night wind like a fallen banner.
"Aelia... my lady!" His hoarse call shattered in the Frost Snow, as his meticulously cared-for fingers grasped the icy Door Frame.
The mistress, her skirt adorned with Silver Thread and Iris, vanished at the end of the Emerald Corridor, leaving only Qin Si's mocking laughter to brush past his nose like the tail feathers of an Ice Crystal Phoenix.
The moonlight shifted over Shan Na, and suddenly, the Leonard's Concubine in the Ice Coffin opened her eyes.
From her cracked Fingertip oozed an asphalt-like substance, winding across the Ground into a plea for help.
As the end of the spell touched Lucius's Birth Mother's Enamel Hairpin, the Canary eyes on the Hairpin flashed with a sudden blood-red glow—this slight movement was perfectly concealed by the shadows cast from the shattered screen.
When the last Servant's Fluorite Lamp disappeared in the East Tower, the Frost Flower formed by her eyelashes in the Ice Coffin suddenly began to fall like snowflakes.
Her swollen abdomen emerged with spider web-like dark patterns, as Asphalt Slime slithered beneath her skin, quietly corroding the inner walls of the Ice Coffin.
Dark Matter seeped between fragments of the Emerald Bracelet, gradually coalescing on the Ground into the shape of a Baby Palm...
The brittle sound of shattering ice erupted in the empty courtyard.
Leonard's Concubine's Dan Kou Fingertip dug into the Peacock Blue Carpet, grinding Blood Crystal shards into her Palm.
Her protruding belly suddenly bulged grotesquely with waves of flesh before quickly settling back into a pitiful curve.
"He promised me..." The woman's frosted eyelashes trembled, and when the Lacrima fell to the ground, it corroded a wormhole the size of a Needle Tip.
The material between the Emerald Bracelet Fragment suddenly came to life, crawling up her trembling ankle and weaving a Dark Red Magic Pattern on her Skirt.
On the terrace a hundred meters away, the Emerald Corridor, her elder brother's Wheelchair rolled over the boundary of moonlight and shadow.
His Pale fingers pinched a piece of Prism Shards, reflecting the scene of Leonard's Last Night, where Leonard's Concubine was Sobbing. "The Demon Seed writhing in her belly is gnawing at the Ice Coffin." His Hoarse voice wrapped in the unique Han Wu of the Northern Territory said, "It's even more ferocious than the Soul Devouring Insect raised in Father's Study."
Second Brother leaned against the Carved Stone Pillar, wiping the Prism, his blood-stained Right Eye reflecting the twisted shadows in the Ice Coffin: "Mother should know..." Before he finished speaking, Brother San's Alchemical Bottle suddenly tipped over, spilling Indigo liquid onto the Ground and painting a fragmented Celestial Chart.
The sediment at the bottom of the bottle formed a grotesque baby’s smiling face.
Luna let out a muffled Nasal Sound in Qin Si's arms, her baby Pink Toes just kicking off the Swaddling Tie.
The falling Silver Ribbon was swept toward the Ice Coffin by the night wind but spontaneously ignited before touching the Moon Gate, with Ashes emerging into a phantom of Leonard's Family Crest.
"Mother knows better than we do where the snake's Seven Inches lie." The elder brother turned his Wheelchair, and the armrest entwined with Thorn Vine bloomed with Frost Flowers. "Three years ago at the Winter Solstice Festival, Father sent a Snow Marten Cloak that hid a Dream-Eating Spider Egg—back then I learned to swallow Poison Apples with a smile."
The Courtyard Bell suddenly struck an offbeat rhythm, and the Sobbing from within the Ice Coffin abruptly ceased.
The remaining Emerald Bracelet on Leonard's Concubine's Wrist suddenly oozed Black Slime, winding into a Rescue Talisman on the Ground.
When the end of the talisman touched Lucius' Birth Mother's Enamel Hairpin, blood tears suddenly streamed from the Canary eyes on the Hairpin.
Luna's Pupil slightly constricted.
The infant's seemingly unintentional flailing hand grasped the scent pouch at Qin Si's waist, and the torn golden dark purple thread floated down right into the center of Brother San's alchemical array.
Blood Marrow Crystal Powder mixed with incense ash, suddenly emerging from the three-dimensional projection of the Magic Castle Underground Altar.
"Second Brother, look!" Brother San's exclamation startled the night owl resting in the tower.
In the projection, countless Soul Insect Eggs could be seen wriggling within the altar's intricate patterns, while at the center of the altar lay a dark red crystal, identical in origin to the magic fetus within Leonard's concubine.
Suddenly, the thorn vine belonging to the eldest brother grew wildly, its leaves glowing with ancient runes as bright as daylight.
The tip of the vine hovered above the ground, over blood tears, drawing in the blood pearl seeping from Canary's eyes into the rune array. "Father actually offered the filth from Black Marsh to the Ancestral Hall..."
A harsh scratching sound came from the direction of the ice coffin, echoing with Ailya's white nails.
Leonard's concubine's meticulously maintained fingers revealed stark white bones; those asphalt-like substances corroding the carpet were reshaping her knuckles.
On her newly formed black Ailya's white nails emerged a canary pattern identical to that of Lucius's birth mother's relics.
Amid Luna's sudden loud cry, Qin Si fumbled to shake the swaddling cloth.
In the infant's tightly clenched fist, a peacock feather stained with ice crystals was quietly melting, and the memory crystal powder sealed within its quill dispersed into the wind—this was diamond dust collected by Luna in the swaddling cloth when Aelia crushed the Oath Diamond just fifteen minutes earlier.
Brother San's alchemical array suddenly shook violently, and Leonard's figure emerged in the underground altar's projection.
The duke’s palm, smeared with insect fluid, pressed down on the dark red crystal, reflecting a scene from within Leonard's concubine’s swollen abdomen—the curled magic fetus had a brand identical to that of Third Young Master Lucius: a golden sparrow birthmark.
"Turns out Father even has to fake the Bloodline..." Second Brother's Prism suddenly shattered, and the fragments cut through his trembling Hand Back.
A drop of Blood Pearl fell onto the Dark Red Crystal in the Projection, igniting a blinding red light.
Within that red light emerged the scene from twelve years ago when Lucius's Birth Mother died during childbirth. Behind the Wedding Canopy, Leonard's Concubine appeared, wearing a Succubus mask, alongside Lucius.
Luna's Pupil rippled with emotion.
The baby kicked its tiny feet, striking Qin Si's Waist where the Transmission Bell hung, producing a clear chime that startled the three lost in the illusion.
Eldest Brother's Thorn Vine instantly crushed the Projection below, and the Ice Shard wrapped in vines froze the Alchemical Array into a matte black Obsidian.
"It's time to go to Mother," he said as his Wheelchair rolled over the frozen Alchemical Array. The pale light of the moon cast a silver edge on Eldest Brother's face. "Some truths need the right moment to become sharp blades."
Suddenly, a crisp sound of shattering glass came from the direction of the Ice Coffin.
The Cloth on Leonard's Concubine's abdomen was torn apart, revealing a gaping hole. But instead of a baby's hand, what emerged were slimy insect-like Tentacles.
At the tips of those Tentacles, an opening revealed tiny Canary Feathers.
Luna's lips curled up unconsciously as the baby's Violet eyes reflected the Magic Castle and West Tower.
Behind a Colored Glazed Window adorned with Frost Flowers, a figure was using a Golden Sparrow Birthmark to gesture strange Curse Marks in the moonlight—none other than Third Young Master Lucius, who was supposed to awaken his Dark Bloodline three years later in the Original timeline.
As the last Ice Crystal Phoenix Tail Feather vanished from the East Tower Castle Spire, the Tentacles protruding from Leonard's Concubine suddenly stiffened.
The material between the Emerald Bracelet Fragment and Asphalt formed a blurred outline of a baby, making a sucking gesture towards the direction of Lucius in the West Tower.
Deep within the Magic Castle Cellar, the shattered Oath Diamond Remains of Leonard suddenly oozed Blood Pearl, flowing along the altar's patterns towards the Dark Red Crystal... Blood Moonlight passed through the Stained Glass, casting eerie patterns on Luna's Light Gold hair.
She curled up in Qin Si's embrace, her Grape Purple eyes reflecting the banquet hall beneath the Crystal Chandelier—this was the trial venue she had meticulously prepared for Leonard.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius is in the rose garden..." Before Qin Si could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the loud cry of the baby.
Luna clutched the Nurse's Pearl Earrings, Magical Fluctuation seeping through the Floor Tile Gap along the Dark Purple Thread.
Three kilometers away in the greenhouse, violets suddenly grew wildly, entangling the Wrought Iron Arch and trapping the lovers in a Vine Cage.
Aelia's Ailya's Silver Gloves brushed against the Golden Handrail, delicate chains jingling with her trembling wrist.
When she saw Lucius's collar stained with Blue Iris Pollen commonly used by Leonard's Concubine, her carefully drawn lip line finally cracked: "A Twenty-Year Marriage Contract, just to teach you to use my Dowry to support a Mistress?"
The crystal chandelier in the banquet hall suddenly shook violently; Luna bit her tongue and flicked the Blood Pearl towards the ceiling.
Amidst gasps from the crowd, Seven Hundred Twenty Prisms exploded simultaneously, ice shard-like fragments suspended to form a Thorned Crown above Leonard's head.
Her elder brother's Wheelchair rolled over a floor covered in ice crystals, and his damaged right hand glowed with a long-lost Magic Emblem from ten years ago.
"Father," Brother San parted the crowd, his fingers flowing with Luna's taught Elemental Perception Technique. "You have Magic Crystal Dust from Black Market Dealings on you—it's from the same source as last month's assassin who attacked Second Brother."
Leonard's Scepter struck heavily against the ground, and a black Obsidian Base cracked open like a Spider Web.
At that moment, Qian Jiao pierced through the Dome, amplified tenfold by the sound amplification array set up by Luna in advance.
The cries of infants intertwined with the wails of women, forming a haunting Blessing Melody. The Contract Beasts beneath the guests' Magic Robes began to stir uncontrollably.
In the chaos, Luna grasped the moonstone at Qin Si's chest and inscribed the coordinates of the Outer Chamber Cellar with her remaining magical power.
When the first Hellhound shattered a ceramic vase, she finally revealed a smile befitting a Great Mage—this storm was enough to nurture the seeds lying dormant in her three brothers' hearts.
The Blood Moonlight suddenly thickened like plasma, and Luna caught a whiff of the Curse Aura permeating the air.
She gazed out at the swirling Murder of Crows, knowing that the true crisis was only just beginning.
The Defensive Rune on the Outer Wall of the Magic Castle was seeping blood, while the Emerald Cufflinks gifted by her Second Brother flickered with an Eerie Red Light.
