In the Ice Cellar, Luna felt the Curse Fragment in her palm suddenly heat up amidst the falling shards of ice.
The swirling star trails deep within her infant pupils abruptly halted. Through the bond of bloodline connecting her to her elder brother, the frozen Thorn Patterns materialized into a three-dimensional Magic Pattern Map—clearly a variant of the Soul Devouring Curse recorded in the Dark Grimoire.
"Yay!" Luna suddenly grasped the silver chain hanging from her brother's Ice Armor gap, her saliva-coated fingers tracing twisted runes across the surface of the Chain Pendant.
Frost spread from where she touched, forming a complete Dispel Array Projection on the silver chain.
The young man in the wheelchair trembled violently, his right leg encased in Ice Armor cracking with a sharp sound.
Memories of Leonard's Last Night at the Magic Arena, which had exploded seventeen years ago, surged into his mind. Details once deemed accidental were laid bare under the analysis of the Curse Mark—the flash of Xing Mang from the Chief Judge's sleeve mirrored the black mist that now festered within the Ice Armor.
"Luna, be careful!" Qin Si lunged forward to take the baby just as Luna's brother's damaged right hand erupted with Ice Blue Magic Light.
The floating Dispel Array precisely fitted into a crack in the Ice Armor, causing the dormant black mist to screech as it transformed into three hundred and twenty chains that Xu Ying shattered one by one.
With a second roar from the North Tower, Luna's brother steadied himself against the icy wall and slowly stood up.
Fragments of Ice Armor fell away, revealing Moonlight Patterns flowing over his newborn skin.
He trembled as his fingertip touched the Frostflower Mark on his sister's head, feeling magic that had not flowed for twenty years roaring through his limbs.
"The finals at Tomorrow Noon’s Magic Arena..." Aelia’s holy sword suddenly shifted direction, pinning a Contract Projection against the ice wall. "Lucius, take your father's Scepter topped with the Record Crystal."
Underneath the Liuli Dome where a celebration banquet would be held three days later, Luna's brother still trembled as he held the Champion Trophy.
Luna sat in Qin Si's arms at the front row of the viewing platform, watching as magical fireworks wove into a glorious totem around the young man.
When her brother tied the champion Ailya around her swaddling cloth, Luna deliberately smeared her milk-stained fingers across his palm, drawing a Guardian Charm only understood by Great Mages.
In the West Side Library, Second Brother was lost in thought, staring at the Astrolabe gifted by his close friend.
The saliva stain left by Luna during her nap on his collar now shimmered under the moonlight, revealing the Prophecy Poem—an echo of the Contract Text she had bitten apart in the Ice Cellar three days ago.
"You mentioned observing the Fated Star Path..." Second Brother suddenly crushed the Communication Crystal in his hand, his deep purple pupils reflecting the Curse Magic Pattern of the Astrolabe's base, Ankeli.
The memory of his friend adjusting the astrological angles during Leonard's Last Night replayed in his mind. The edge of Leonard's Family Crest was unmistakably adorned with a silver Serpent Pattern identical to that of the Curse Master's Magic Robe from the black market.
On the Training Ground, shrouded in morning mist, Brother San had been hit by his own fireball spell, Ailina's Burn, countless times.
Luna suddenly broke free from the Nurse's embrace and crawled toward the charred Oak Stump with a series of babbling sounds.
The traces of her infantile Awareness scratched into ancient Elven Script formed a pattern, while the charred bark peeled away to reveal a hidden Ice Elemental Core—this was clearly a tampered Element Conversion Device.
"So all these years..." Brother San trembled as he crushed the Ice Elemental Core, watching as the Crimson Gold Flame rose from his palm and engulfed the false Frost Talent.
He suddenly recalled a moment from his childhood during the Awakening Ritual when an Elder in Black Robe had stroked his head, and ice crystal powder had fallen from their sleeve.
When the spectacle of twelve silver moons hanging in the sky occurred, Aelia was at the Grooming table, polishing the Holy Sword.
The newly embedded Star Pattern Stone in the hilt emitted a buzzing sound, reflecting Luna's image as she danced joyfully with Astrology Paper in her hands in the nursery.
The Lady of the Fortress gazed down at her reflection in the Sword Body and suddenly noticed that on the back of the Jade Brooch her husband had given her half a month ago, there was a trace of unfamiliar Iris Powder—a scent characteristic of Succubus Powder recently circulating in the black market.
Aelia's fingertip pierced through Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum into the Jade Brooch, and a Magic Contract lifted into the air, crystallizing into an Ice Crystal Rose.
The milk stain that Luna had left on his collar during the day transformed into Xing Mang, illuminating every detail of that trace of Iris Powder on the back of the brooch.
"The Succubus Powder from East Street in the black market requires three ounces of Moon Fox Tears for its preparation." The Lady of the Fortress positioned her Holy Sword before the Dressing Mirror, which suddenly rippled with blood-red waves. "Leonard, do you need me to ask a Sorcerer to verify your whereabouts last night?"
In the instant the Magic Crystal Lamp exploded, Luna let out a sharp cry in the nursery.
The entire castle's Defensive Formation activated in response, and Twelve Rays of Moonlight Chains pierced through the Liuli Dome, pinning the Lord to the Malachite Peacock Stone Tiles just as he was about to cast a teleportation spell.
"It’s just a business engagement..." Leonard's neck bore the Emerging Golden Magic Pattern, a symbol of the loyalty Contract he had forged with his wife on their wedding night twenty years ago.
He attempted to raise his hand to touch Aelia's Pale Luna, but the holy sword suddenly changed direction and aimed at the Contract Projection instead.
The Ice Crystal Rose blossomed with seventeen layers of petals beneath the blade, each petal reflecting different moments from Leonard's Last Night.
Luna's scratching against the Cradle Railings echoed through the stone walls, and those traces devoid of Awareness perfectly matched the images on the petals—within the eleventh petal, a Succubus from the black market auction house was handing a swaddled infant to a Black-Robed Man.
"Five years ago, you said you wanted to expand trade routes in the Western Realm; it turns out it was for this Nefarious Offspring!" Ailya's Silver Hair stirred without wind as the holy sword cleaved through a Jade Brooch, revealing a hidden Translucent Magic Core.
Three hundred Broken Diamonds burst into a Star Map, reflecting a Silver-Haired Boy playing in a private residence to the south of the city, his forehead marked with a Magic Pattern identical to Leonard's.
Leonard was engulfed in Heiyan, his skin scorched by the Moonlight Chains emitting a burnt smell.
Suddenly, bone spurs erupted from his mangled right hand—remnants of an old injury sustained twenty years ago when he had picked Xueling Binglian for Aelia: "The Magic Castle needs an Heir! Look at those worthless offspring you’ve borne..."
Before his words could fade, an Ice Barrier enveloped the entire room.
Aelia plunged her holy sword into her Heart, crimson Blood Pearl flowing down the hilt embedded with Star Pattern Stone, tracing out a Frost Crown on the Contract Projection: "Did you really think I was unaware during these twenty years? Every time you said you were inspecting the borders, the Ice Element of the Magic Fortress Leyline would stir restlessly—because you were using our family's Secret Technique to channel magic into your Private Residence!"
Suddenly, Luna's Loud Cry transformed into Giggling.
The sound of shattering crystal echoed from the nursery, as an ancient spell mingled with the scent of milk, filling the entire corridor.
Leonard suddenly realized he could not summon his magic; the hexagram formation emerging beneath his feet was identical to the anti-magic barrier from seventeen years ago in the Magic Arena.
"Miss!" Qin Si burst through the door, revealing Luna in her arms, gnawing on a severed silver chain.
The astrolabe hidden in the maid's sleeve automatically unfolded, displaying the Soul Devouring Array buried beneath the Private Residence—dark mist siphoning off the talents of the Heir from the Magic Castle was now flowing back along the Bloodline Curse.
Aelia's holy sword suddenly slipped from her grasp, cleaving the grooming table in two.
The marriage certificate hidden in Ankeli ignited, and the gold foil text reformed in midair into a blood-red edict: In the name of frost, strip Leonard Glory Magic Castle of all authority.
"Do you think I let Lucius play dumb all these years for no reason?" The Lady of the Fortress removed her crescent pendant from her neck, transforming it into an Ice Crystal Staff that she pointed at her husband, Mei Xin. "From the moment Luna broke your brother's curse, all the talents you diverted are returning to their source."
A heavy object suddenly crashed to the ground in the corridor.
Lucius staggered back against the gilded door frame, scattering alchemy notes he had prepared for his father all over the floor.
The pale youth's fingertips dug deeply into the relief of the door frame, his dark red pupils reflecting the chaotic Ice Fire Vortex within—the uncontrolled magic of his parents was tearing at the Magic Fortress Barrier.
Luna suddenly reached out her small hand toward the silver moon outside.
The baby's palm glowed with Xing Mang, piercing through the crystal window and gathering at Lucius's feet to form an ancient magic script: Breaker.
Third Young Master Lucius looked down at his trembling right hand; his long-suppressed magic, disguised as mediocrity for years, was now boiling like lava within his bloodline.
Moonlight crystallized into frost on Lucius's trembling fingertip, and golden patterns suddenly emerged on the scattered parchment of his alchemical notes.
He paused mid-motion as he bent down to pick them up—Luna had drawn messy lines with her saliva on the title page, which now overlapped with the star trail outside to form a complete alchemical formula.
"Watch out, Third Young Master Lucius!" At the end of the corridor, the Magic Fireworks suddenly changed direction, casting a warm orange glow on the young man, Lucius Pale.
Instinctively, Lucius raised his hand to cast a spell. What should have been a low-level Water Shield instead blossomed into an Ice Crystal Rose at his fingertips, precisely encasing the out-of-control fireworks in a crystal ball.
The sound of clapping echoed from the nursery.
Luna swung back and forth, clutching Qin Si's silver hair, her grape-like eyes reflecting Lucius's rigid silhouette.
As the third burst of fireworks veered off course, a baby suddenly spat out Luna, and the bubbles' surface displayed a Star Pattern that mirrored the spell Lucius had mistakenly used moments ago.
"So that's how it is..." Lucius crushed the crystal ball that had formed around the fireworks. The splattered sparks reassembled into a three-dimensional Alchemical Array in his palm.
The Magical Talent he had deliberately suppressed for twenty years tore through its disguise, projecting an animated diagram of the entire Magic Castle's Energy Flow onto his retina—those magical energies that should have supplied the Defensive Formation were instead flowing through seventeen underground channels toward the southern Private Residence.
As dawn broke through the clouds, Brother San's maniacal laughter shook loose the Ice Spikes hanging from the Training Ground's eaves.
The Crimson Gold Flame he conjured consumed an entire row of Oak Stumps, revealing flickering Ice Blue Magic Cores beneath their charred surfaces.
Luna, held by the Nurse as they passed under an archway, suddenly reached out to grab a passing spark. The baby's unaware grasp transformed the fire element into a Transmitting Crystal.
"Reverse engineering of an Element Conversion Device?" Second Brother crushed the apology letter sent by his dear friend, his deep purple pupils reflecting the Magic Pattern emerging within the crystal.
From the Astrolabe Base Ankeli crawled a Cursed Black Mist that ignited upon touching Luna's milk stain smeared on the table corner, turning to ashes that formed a badge emblem of some black market Curse Master.
In the noon Magic Castle Council Chamber, Aelia's holy sword was plunged three inches into Malachite Peacock Stone Tiles.
Leonard hung suspended by Moonlight Chains before a Dome Mural, blood flowing from his forehead where an Ice Crystal Staff had left its mark, spilling silver-blue blood.
Suddenly, Luna squirmed in Qin Si's arms, her small hand smeared with Rice Paste patting against the edge of the council table, leaving behind a flickering Guardian Charm.
"Miss, Third Young Master Lucius...," Qin Si exclaimed, but before he could finish, Lucius burst into the hall, clutching the Alchemical Notes.
The boy's dark red pupils swirled with dual Star Trails, projecting a Magic Flow Diagram towards the Private Residence beneath the Gilded Dome.
Ice crystal powder from his sleeves drifted down, forming a blood-red Blood Arrow in response to Leonard's Ailya's Roar, aimed directly at a White Rose Manor in the southern part of the city.
Luna suddenly giggled, her chubby fingers pointing towards her elder brother.
The Youth Champion was leaning on his Ice Crystal Staff while being examined by a healer. The Moonlight Patterns on his newborn skin shimmered in the sunlight.
However, when the healer touched his old injury on the right leg, a wisp of black mist suddenly erupted from the Champion Trophy Base, slithering up the Ice Crystal Staff towards his back.
"Luna, stay still," Qin Si hurriedly pressed down on the baby who was trying to crawl under the table, only to see that the silver chain Luna was gripping had suddenly become hot.
Amidst the Milk Fragrance, the Thorn Pattern that quietly emerged on the back of her elder brother's neck flashed in the sunlight, vanishing as quickly as an illusion cast by moonlight.
The Youth Champion sensed something and turned his head. The Ice Element gathered in his palm suddenly went out of control, freezing the healer's Crystal Bottle into an Ice Sculpture.
The baby's pitch-black pupils slightly constricted, reflecting the fleeting black mist from her brother's fingertip.
Luna stuffed a saliva-soaked Astrology Paper into her mouth and, unnoticed by anyone else, bit out a fragmented ancient spell with her Milk Tooth—exactly the incantation for the Soul Devouring Curse: Final Chapter recorded in Chapter Three Hundred of the original text.
