Chapter 663: Fai and Syaoran's Story (Second Update)
Chapter 663: Fai and Syaoran's Story (Second Update)
If Jerry really wanted to kill the Fairy King, he could have done so the moment the Fairy King was knocked down by the clone.
The reason he didn't act and even allowed the Fairy King to escape was that he still didn't understand what was really going on.
He didn't want to be a pawn for the Fairy King, Yuzuki, and Clow Reed. Therefore, he needed to figure out the reasons behind everything before deciding whether to kill the Fairy King.
Yuzuki could observe their situation through Mokona, and Jerry had known this all along but hadn't mentioned it.
Sure enough, as soon as Jerry spoke, the white Mokona's eyes shot out two beams of light, forming the alluring figure of Yuzuki, dressed in a black rose-patterned cheongsam.
"Mr. Carmen, I can tell you everything, but I hope that after I do, you will help us find the Fairy King and end this tragedy."
Yuzuki knew Jerry was very powerful, which is why she had arranged for Jerry to protect Syaoran and Sakura, just as she had arranged for Kurogane to join the journey.
However, she hadn't expected Jerry to be so strong that he could directly confront the Fairy King and nearly kill him.
"Sure, I already have a grudge against him. Killing him is inevitable."
Jerry nodded.
The Fairy King had to die; otherwise, being targeted by a God-level expert would not be a good thing, especially since Jerry needed to continue collecting laws.
Unlike warriors, whose strength remains relatively stable and can be easily assessed, a God-level Mage has many ways to kill across levels. This was something Jerry, as a Mage, understood very well.
He himself was capable of the same.
"Then let Syaoran and Fai tell you their stories first, and I'll fill in the gaps. That way, you can understand everything more clearly."
Yuzuki turned to look at the newly arrived Syaoran and Fai, who had wiped away his tears and stood up.
Fai sighed, not refusing, and began to recount his hidden past:
"I am from another world, the son of the younger brother of the King of Faiaria. In our country, there is a curse that states that twins will bring misfortune. Unfortunately, my brother and I are twins.
My name is Yui D. Floret, and my brother's name is Fai D. Floret.
We were born with powerful magic, and our magic grew stronger every day without any training. Tragically, the stronger we became, the more misfortune befell our country.
So, the king gave my brother and me a choice: either one of us had to be killed to lift the curse, or both of us would be locked in a tower in the valley, one at the top and one at the bottom.
The more misfortune we faced, the more fortunate the country would be.
Neither my brother nor I wanted the other to die, so we chose to be locked in the tower."
At this point, Fai's eyes began to redden, and the others' hearts were also gripped by the tragic story of his past.
"Then what happened?"
Kurogane asked, concerned.
Fai continued his story:
"Then my brother and I planned to escape the tower once our magic grew strong enough to surpass the king's. We wanted to go far, far away and never come back.
Unfortunately, before we could grow strong enough, something unexpected happened outside the tower.
Every day, countless bodies were thrown into the tower. From the mouths of those who were still barely alive, we learned that the king had gone mad and was slaughtering the people. Those who could run away did, and those who couldn't were killed and thrown into the tower.
Day after day, the bodies in the tower piled higher and higher, until one day, even the king fell into the tower.
Then, before dying, the king blamed everything on his sons, claiming that the country had come to this because of them, and committed suicide."
At this point, Fai's body began to tremble:
"After the king's suicide, the Fairy King appeared. He told my brother and me that we were both under a curse, and only one of us could leave the tower alive.
While I was still hesitating, my brother jumped from the tower without a second thought. He chose to die so that I could live. In regret, I inherited his name—Fai!
The Fairy King told me that it was because of me that my brother died, and as a result, I would bear a curse. This curse would cause me to kill someone with greater magic power than myself."
"So what about the Asura King you mentioned? Was that a lie?"
Jerry asked.
Previously, Fai had told them that he couldn't use magic because it would be detected by the Asura King. He wished not to return to his original world to escape the Asura King.
"No, he's a fool!"
At the mention of the Asura King, Fai's eyes showed a hint of tenderness:
"After the Fairy King left, someone adopted me. It was the Asura King. He took me to his country, which is the Thracian Kingdom I mentioned to you before.
I grew up there and was very happy.
But one day, the Asura King went mad, slaughtering many people. When I asked him why, he said it was to help lift my curse.
It turned out that his talent was that every time he killed someone, his magic power would increase. The more he killed, the stronger he became. He wanted his magic power to surpass mine so that my curse would activate and kill him, thereby lifting the curse.
How could I bear to kill him? So I sealed him away and came to Miss Yuzuki, hoping to escape to other worlds. Even if he breaks the seal, he won't be able to find me."
"Did the Fairy King ever look for you again?"
Jerry asked, sensing that there was more to the story. The Fairy King wouldn't have appeared without a reason, and there must have been more to his purpose in finding Fai.
"He found me before I came to Miss Yuzuki. He said he could help resurrect my brother if I joined Syaoran and Sakura's journey to help them collect feathers.
The feather I brought with me came from the Thracian Kingdom, and I also know some things about Syaoran."
Fai nodded and then hesitated, glancing at the two Syaorans.
At this moment, the new Syaoran stepped forward:
"I'll tell the story!"
"Please begin."
After hearing Fai's past, Jerry adjusted his mindset and began listening to the new Syaoran's story.
"My real name is Wing. Syaoran is the alias I took when I went to Clow Country.
I was born in the same world as Miss Yuzuki. When I was seven, my parents took me to Miss Yuzuki's shop and paid a price to wish for me to be sent to the ruins of Clow Country for seven days.
There, I met Sakura during her baptism. We became good friends, and I also met her father, King Fujitaka, her mother, High Priestess Tomoyo, her brother, Prince Touya, and the priestess candidate, Yue."
