Chapter 656 "Jerry Carmen Vs Wei Fang Reed"

"So, it's you!" Wang Fei shouted while pointing at Jerry.

While he didn't recognize the man standing before him, he could discern the magical aura emanating from his body.

It matched precisely with the mana fluctuations of the individual who used magic to observe them during their initial visit to the first world.

This man seemed to be the orchestrator behind all the events Jerry had been speculating about.

Their pupils constricted as soon as Fay and the newly-arrived Syaoran laid eyes on the middle-aged man in the black robe.

It was evident that both of them were acquainted with this mysterious figure.

"Mr. Carmen, be cautious; he is Fei Wang Reed, the origin of all these troubles!" warned the newcomer Syaoran, swiftly drawing his magic sword as though preparing to face a formidable adversary.

Upon Fei Wang's appearance, he cast an inexplicably doubtful gaze toward Jerry. "Who are you? Logically speaking, you should not exist. Are you a pawn that Clow Reed and Yuuko concocted to disrupt my plan?"

"Uh... a pawn? I'm just a patron at Miss Yuuko's shop, and I made a simple deal with her," replied Jerry, looking at Fei Wang with a calm smile.

His composure stemmed from his own formidable strength.

Although Fei Wang was undeniably powerful, the magical emanations from his body were merely three points stronger than those of Miss Yuuko.

But Jerry is above them both. There is no need for him to feel small in front of them.

"If you're open to it, I can offer you double than what Yuuko has promised you. Making a deal with me will grant you even more." Fei Wang scrutinized Jerry, adjusting his glasses.

Initially intending to appear and eliminate Jerry, he found himself unable to discern the opponent's magical power upon arrival, making him somewhat cautious.

While he considered only Clow Reed his equal in the world, the other's ability to conceal strength made him rethink underestimating Jerry.

Persuading Jerry to join him could potentially smoothen his plan to resurrect Yuuko.

"Sorry, I value integrity more!" Jerry spread his hands, declining Fei Wang's proposition.

Not only did he prioritize integrity, but he also considered Yuuko, Syaoran, and Sakura as friends, while the man across from him was merely a stranger.

Moreover, Jerry's goal was simply to traverse various worlds to collect laws, without any desire for additional offerings.

"In that case, I'll have to send you to your demise!" Observing Jerry's refusal, Fei Wang gathered magical power, preparing to eliminate Jerry directly.

At this moment, Jerry raised his hand, "If it's convenient, let's take this outside. Otherwise, if we cause harm here, that's not something you'd want to see!"

Fei Wang's strength is also at the level of the Heavenly Father.

Subduing Syaoran and the others isn't as simple, and their battle would likely cause considerable havoc, possibly leading to the destruction of the entire building in the aftermath.

Having just created the magic circle, he was reluctant to go through the process again.

Fei Wang glanced at the group behind Jerry but didn't object.

He tore apart space, reaching the high sky outside the capital hall.

While he wouldn't mind if everyone else perished, the clones of Syaoran and Sakura he had created were indispensable.

He needed these two individuals with special bloodlines to collect feathers from various worlds and then alter the fundamental law that prevents people from being resurrected after death.

Jerry promptly followed from behind Fei Wang.

Observing this, everyone else hurriedly vacated the basement, heading outside the capital hall to witness the impending battle's outcome.

"Light, darkness, wind, fire, thunder, water, earth, shadow." Above the capital hall, Fei Wang repeatedly waved his hand, unleashing countless spells of various attributes upon Jerry.

Jerry, positioned opposite him, employed every trick to dismantle the magic activated by Fei Wang.

"How is that possible!" Fei Wang entered a state of shock upon realizing that even the time magic he had just activated to immobilize Jerry was effortlessly broken by Jerry's counteractions.

He didn't understand why, but an uncanny familiarity with his magic emanated from the opponent.

With every spell he unleashed, Jerry effortlessly found a corresponding method to dismantle it.

Then a realization dawned on him, and he stared at Jerry, remarking, "You're Clow Reed's apprentice. He taught you these methods to counter my magic!"

"Apprentice? Not quite, but I did study his magic." Jerry explained before he raised his finger, pointing to Fei Wang, "Are the both of you brothers, by the way? I mean… Clow Reed and Fei Wang Reed, both of you have Reed in your name." Jerry asked.

While combating Fei Wang, Jerry noticed an uncanny similarity between the magic used by Fei Wang and that of Clow Reed.

The resemblance was striking, and it was essentially the same magic present in Clow Reed's cards.

Having thoroughly studied the magic in Clow Cards and even making numerous enhancements, Jerry had created his own Carmen Mahjong, gifting it to Aisha.

Therefore, the magic employed by Fei Wang had little impact on him.

"Humph, brother, since you've learned Clow Reed's magic, then face my own magic. This was originally the magic I prepared for Clow Reed!" Fei Wang snorted coldly, displaying evident disdain.

He crossed his hands, concentrating his immense magical power, and a massive magic circle swiftly materialized in front of him.

A magic sword adorned with intricate runes slowly materialized within the expansive magic array, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.

Upon the appearance of this magic sword, the relentless acid rain across the entire world momentarily ceased.

The destructive energy exuded by the sword disrupted the prevailing law of the acid rain, creating a temporary respite.

The colossal mutated beasts lurking underground erupted from the earth in a frenzied escape, desperately fleeing the vicinity of the capital hall.

Every moment delayed seemed to spell imminent doom for them.

For all the living humans within the capital hall, as well as Fay, Kurogane, Syaoran, and others who had just reached outside the capital hall, an oppressive feeling gripped their chests as ominous black clouds gathered over the city.

Even Jerry, confronting the magic sword, displayed a rare expression of concern.

In this critical moment, he, too, sensed the looming threat.

Jerry comprehended the impending danger, realizing that if the magic sword made contact with him, both his soul and body would succumb to the destruction carried within the sword's destructive aura.

"Go!" Fei Wang strained, propelling the magic sword forward as it transformed into a streak of light hurtling toward Jerry.

"Protego Maxima!" Jerry swiftly invoked the armor spell he had refined through countless iterations.

"Boom!" A resounding crash echoed as the iron armor enchantment endured for five seconds before shattering.

"It's futile. The destructive nature of this sword is devised to dismantle all energy shields. Neither you nor the shield magic employed by Clow Reed could ever withstand it!" Fei Wang observed with a sneer as Jerry's protective barrier was effortlessly pierced by the magic sword.

Having invested considerable time and effort collecting precious materials from myriad worlds, Fei Wang had meticulously crafted this magic sword, specifically intended to defeat Clow Reed. It was not easily thwarted.
