Capítulo 660: Chapter 659 "The Story of Fay and Syaoran"

If Jerry had genuinely intended to eliminate Fei Wang, he could have seized the opportunity to do so when his clone incapacitated him.

However, Jerry refrained from taking immediate action and allowed Fei Wang to escape because he was still grappling with the mystery at hand.

He refused to be a pawn manipulated by Fei Wang, Miss Yuuko, and Clow.

Jerry needed to unravel the motives behind everything before deciding whether to confront Fei Wang.

Regarding Miss Yuko, Jerry could monitor their activities through Mokona.

He had been aware of this for a while but chose not to disclose it.

As soon as Jerry concluded his statement, two beams of light emanated from the white Mokona's eyes, converging on the captivating figure of Ichihara Yuuko adorned in a black rose cheongsam.

"Mr. Carmen, I'm willing to share this information with you, but I hope that after I do, you'll guide us in locating Fei Wang Reed and putting an end to this tragedy."

Yuuko acknowledged Jerry's formidable abilities and sought a way for him to safeguard Syaoran and Sakura.

This was similar to her arrangement for Kurogane to join the expedition.

Little did she expect Jerry to wield such power that he could directly withstand Fei Wang's attack and inflict substantial harm upon him.

"No problem. He and I have already become enemies anyway, so it will be a matter of time before I kill him," Jerry nodded.

Fei Wang Reed must be eliminated; having him as an adversary could bring unwanted attention from a Heavenly Father-level master, especially if he continues amassing laws.

Magicians differ from warriors in that their strength typically remains relatively stable.

Although Jerry can easily discern that Fei Wang is not as potent as him, it doesn't imply an inability to pose a threat.

For a magician at the heavenly father level, various tools like magic weapons, props, curses, and specialized magic circles offer numerous ways to overcome opponents beyond their level.

Jerry, being a magician himself, is acutely aware of these possibilities.

"Let Syaoran and Fay share their situations first, and then I'll provide additional details for a clearer understanding." Observing this, Yuuko directed her attention to the recently arrived Li Syaoran and Fay, who had composed himself after wiping away tears.

Fay sighed but did not object, slowly unveiling his concealed life experiences.

"I am the child of the younger brother of the King of Valeria Country from another world. Our country bears a curse: twins bring misfortune, and fate has it that my brother and I are twins. My name is Yui D. Florette, and my brother's name is Fay D. Florette.

We are born with potent magical abilities, and our magical strength continues to grow each day, albeit without deliberate practice. Unfortunately, the more powerful we become magically, the more misfortune befalls our country.

The king presented my brother and me with a dire choice: either one of us must perish to break the curse, or both of us would be confined to a tower in the valley. Within the tower, one of us would be placed at the top, and the other at the bottom. The country's fortune would improve in proportion to our increasing adversity.

Neither my brother nor I desired death, so we opted to endure imprisonment in the valley."

At this juncture, Fay's eyes welled up with redness, stirring the hearts of everyone present with the tale of Fay's tragic life.

"Then what?" Kurogane inquired with genuine concern.

Fay continued recounting his story, "Subsequently, my brother and I devised a plan to escape the tower when our magical powers surpassed those of the king. We intended to venture far away and never return.

Regrettably, before we could amass enough strength, an unforeseen incident occurred outside the tower, "Countless corpses were daily thrown into the tower. From those who were not entirely deceased, we gleaned that the king had descended into madness, initiating a ruthless massacre. Anyone capable of escaping fled for their lives, while those who couldn't were mercilessly slain and tossed into the tower.

Thus, day by day, the pile of corpses within the tower grew taller until, one fateful day, the king himself was cast into the tower.

He left behind a parting sentence, attributing the nation's plight to the actions of the siblings, and then took his own life."

At this juncture, Fay's body began to tremble, "After the king's suicide, Fei Wang Reed emerged. He informed my brother and me that we carried a curse, and only one of us could exit the tower alive.

While I hesitated, my brother had already leaped from the towering heights. He chose to sacrifice himself without a second thought, allowing me to survive, and I inherited his name - Fay in regret!

Fei Wang revealed that my brother would perish because of me, and thus, I would bear a curse: to kill someone possessing magic more potent than mine.

"Then what about this King Ashura you've mentioned? Is it fake?" Jerry inquired.

"Fay had previously shared that he refrained from using magic, fearing detection by King Ashura. His earnest desire was to avoid returning to his original world and escaping the clutches of King Ashura." Syaoran explained in Fay's stead.

"No, don't listen to whatever he's telling you!" Fay cut him off.

Upon the mention of King Ashura's name, Fay's eyes softened, "After Fei Wang Reed departed, a man adopted me. He was King Asura. He took me to his country, the Country of Celes, where I was born.

I grew up there, leading a content and joyful life.

However, one day, King Asura seemed to lose his sanity and began a ruthless killing spree. When I questioned him, he explained that he intended to help me break the curse.

As it turns out, his unique talent involved an increase in magic power with each person he killed. The more lives he claimed, the more potent his magic became. His plan was to surpass my magical strength, triggering my curse, and then have me end his life, thus breaking the curse.

Unable to bear the thought of killing him, I sealed him away and sought the help of Miss Yuko, aiming to escape into other worlds. Even if he managed to break free from the seal, he wouldn't be able to locate me." Fay concluded his explanation with a sad look as he stared off into the distance.

"Did Fei Wang never come to find you?" Jerry inquired once more.

Fay's narrative hinted to Jerry that there was more to the situation than it seemed. Fei Wang Reed had a purpose in seeking out Fay, and Jerry sensed there was a deeper motive behind it.

"He approached Miss Yuuko before my arrival. He told me he could help resurrect my brother, provided I joined Syaoran and Sakura on their quest to collect feathers. I brought a feather from Thrace, and I'm also familiar with some details about the little wolves."

Fay nodded and then glanced hesitantly at the two Syaorans. At that moment, the newcomer Syaoran stepped forward and declared, "Allow me to share my story!"

"Please proceed," Jerry encouraged.

After absorbing Fay's past, Jerry shifted his focus to listening to the new Syaoran's account of his history.

"My real name is Tsubasa; Syaoran is the alias I adopted when I traveled to Clow Country.

I hail from the same world as Miss Yuuko. When I was seven, my parents took me to Miss Yuuko's shop. They paid a price and made a wish to send me to the ruins of Clow Country for seven days.

There, I encountered Sakura undergoing a ceremony and we became close friends. I also met her father, King Fujitaka; her mother, the high priest Nadeshiko; her brother, Prince Touya; and Yukito, a potential priest candidate."
