As the Lan Mou in the stone coffin suddenly opened, Lia's breath caught in her throat. Deep within those eyes floated the same Crescent Rune as hers, as if they could pierce through three thousand years of time. The priest's corpse began to emit a faint blue glow, and the magic surging from the depths of the two Crescent wounds intertwined with Kalan's Dark Moon Power, forming two swirling Crescent vortices in the underground cell.
"Heir." The priest's voice sounded as if it were coming from the depths of water, her Lan Mou reflecting the runes on Lia's wrist. "The Bloodline of the Moonlight Heart... and the host of the Dark Moon Power... must complete the final ritual."
Suddenly, Lia's knees buckled. Her Old Scar flared up again, blue light surging from beneath her skin, manifesting two Crescent runes in her palm. As Kalan supported her, his silver hair had completely faded, but a dark red glow flickered in his left eye's Void, as if two moons were eclipsing each other within.
"Three Hundred Years Ago." The priest's voice became clear, her fingers gently touching Kalan's Dark Moon Brand. "The Silverclaw Chieftain sealed the Dark Moon Power with my blood, but he did not know... that true sealing requires the Twin Blood Oath of the Moonlight Heart and the Dark Moon Host."
Lia's pupils constricted. She suddenly realized that the priest in the stone coffin was identical to the remnants of her mother's clan genealogy—on the last page that had been burned, beneath the priest's name was drawn a pattern identical to Kalan's Dark Moon Brand.
"Sebastian is your heir?" Lia's voice echoed in the underground cell. "He wants to use the Blood Moon Crystal to break this seal..."
The priest's Lan Mou suddenly dimmed. Her body began to turn transparent, and the magic surging from the depths of her two Crescent wounds suddenly backfired, forcing Kalan's Dark Moon Power back into his veins. Lia saw dark red ripples spreading in Kalan's Yin Tong, his spine cracking with a series of pops as his back began to split open, revealing growing strands of Silver Fur beneath.
"The ritual needs your blood." The priest's voice grew urgent, images of Lia's brother being controlled by the Blood Moon Crystal flashing in her mind. "Otherwise... the Eternal Night will descend on this Blood Moon Night."
Before Lia could respond, the underground cell suddenly shook violently. The stone floor cracked like a spiderweb, silver dust and dirt swirling in the air. Suddenly, Kalan grabbed Lia's wrist and pressed her against the stone coffin lid.
"The Purification Gate requires a Twin Blood Oath." His voice turned hoarse yet commanding as drops of his blood fell from his wounds onto the runes on Lia's wrist. "Use your blood... to complete the seal."
As soon as her fingertips touched the runes on the coffin, a powerful surge of magic struck her back, sending her flying against the stone wall. As she collided with it, she saw that Kalan's silver hair had regained its metallic sheen; dark red ripples were gaining dominance in his eyes while his back continued to crack open, revealing more wolf fur growing beneath.
"The Dark Moon Power is rebounding!" The priest's Lan Mou erupted into dazzling blue light as her body became completely transparent. "Quick! Use your blood to activate the Purification Gate!"
Stumbling towards the stone coffin, dust-filled bricks clung to her boots. When her blood dripped onto the runes, the coffin suddenly opened inward, revealing a stone tablet sealed with silver dust behind it. The tablet bore an intertwined pattern of two crescents; at that moment, realization struck—this pattern matched perfectly with that found on her mother's genealogy remnants.
"Moonlight and the Dark Moon's Twinborn Pact." The voice of Kalan, low and strained as if forced from deep within him, echoed through her mind. His blood dripped onto the tablet; dark red light surged dramatically before being replaced by blue radiance. "Now... it needs your blood."
Before she could struggle, he pressed her against the tablet. As his fangs pierced through her wrist runes, blue light and red glow wove together at their point of contact, casting an eerie silver hue throughout the cell. When her blood fell upon the tablet, it erupted into brilliant blue light; two patterns of crescents began to spin before merging into a single vortex shaped like a crescent.
At its center appeared a transparent crystal ball containing an image of Lia’s mother. In that woman’s eyes shone a reflection of a similar Crescent Rune, and her voice emerged like echoes from underwater: "The true name of the Bloodfang Clan is the Crescent Guardian, and it was meant for the Moonlight Priestess to purify the power of the Silverclaw Chieftain. After usurping power, Sebastian tainted this seal with a Blood Moon Crystal ; now... only a Twin Blood Oath can prevent an Eternal Night ."
Suddenly breathless, realization dawned upon Lia as she watched her mother’s image within the crystal grow increasingly transparent until it finally transformed into two points of light shaped like crescents that merged into Kalan ’s Dark Moon Brand . The dark red ripples in Kalan ’s eyes began to fade; his silver hair gradually regained its original color while his left eye’s Void still glowed ominously red.
"The Purification Gate requires blood from the Moonlight Heart ." His voice became deep and clear again as drops of his blood fell onto the tablet; dark red light was gradually replaced by blue radiance. "Now... it is complete."
Silence enveloped the underground cell. The runes on Lia ’s wrist continued to faintly glow in response to Kalan ’s Dark Moon Brand over his left chest. The priest’s corpse gradually turned to dust within the coffin until only two crystal crescents remained at Lia ’s feet.
"This is your Purification Key ." Kalan ’s voice resonated like a whisper from below as he picked up one crystal. "Use it to unlock the seal of Yueyue Spring ... or else Sebastian will complete his ritual for an Eternal Night on this Blood Moon Night ."
As soon as Lia ’s fingertips brushed against the crystal, a Holographic Projection suddenly materialized within the cell—her brother was pinned on an altar by a Mechanical Werewolf while a glow emanated from his temple where a Blood Moon Crystal was embedded. Suddenly, Sebastian ’s mechanical arm plunged into his shoulder blade; dark red magic gushed forth from that wound, coalescing into two swirling crescents in mid-air.
"You have three hours left." The mechanical voice echoed throughout the underground cell. "Otherwise, all of Ironforge City will witness an Eternal Night ."
With a primal roar erupting from him, Kalan ’s silver hair lifted without wind; dark moon power surged forth from his wounds forming two swirling crescents within their confines. As Lia stumbled backward, she saw that new crescent vortex on the tablet activate suddenly; silver light enveloped both her and Kalan simultaneously.
As the light faded, they stood at the edge of the Black Forest. Moonlight filtered through the towering ancient trees, casting silver patches on the ground. Lia's boots sank into the soft moss, and she suddenly noticed that the moss was growing along a specific path, forming two crescent-shaped trails.
"Yueyue Spring is just ahead." Kalan's voice was deep and authoritative, his Yin Tong reflecting the runes on Lia's wrist. "But Sebastian's Mechanical Werewolf army has surrounded the forest."
Lia's breath quickened. She suddenly heard the rumbling of mechanical devices coming from all directions as the Bloodfang Clan's Mechanical Werewolves emerged from the shadows of the trees, their steel limbs glinting in the moonlight. The leading Mechanical Werewolf raised a firearm loaded with silver bullets when Lia abruptly pressed the Purification Key against the center of the mossy path—silver runes activated instantly, wrapping her and Kalan in a dark red glow.
When the light faded again, they stood at the edge of Yueyue Spring. Lia's boots sank into the silver surface of the water, and she saw two crescent-shaped crystals floating in the spring, rotating around each other and emitting a soft blue glow under the moonlight. Kalan suddenly grasped her wrist, dark red ripples reappearing in his Yin Tong.
"Purification Spring requires a Twin Blood Oath." His voice became hoarse yet commanding as Yin Xue dripped from his wound into the spring. "Use your blood... to complete the final ritual."
Before Lia could respond, a gunshot from a Mechanical Werewolf rang out. A silver bullet struck Kalan's shoulder, and Dark Moon Power surged from his wound, forming two swirling crescents above Yueyue Spring. The moment Lia's blood dripped into the spring, the entire forest was engulfed in silver light, and the two crescent crystals shot forth beams of light straight into the night sky where the blood moon hung high.
