Chapter 340 - [Bonus ]SLICING ARMS

Onlookers on the streets pitied Catherine who was a bloody mess and four men were torturing her. However, no one dared to come forward to help her.

They were all commoners with no power. If these thugs targeted them and got revenge, they would have no way to protect themselves. 

How could they dare to go against the thugs?

The thug leader slapped Catherine's cheek and she bled. That made him feel even better. It increased his sadism more. He raised his hand once more to slap her. 

However, he suddenly realized that his right hand's palm and fingers were gone. Instead, there was a flat wrist. It looked ugly and disgusting. In the next second, blood sprayed from that area.

"Aaahhh!"

The leader screamed as he realized that the main part of his hand was gone. Someone sliced it when he didn't even notice.

The other three thugs were drunk and baffled. Their heads could hardly process the horrifying scene. 

Before they could react, they sensed sharp pain in their vital parts. One by one, they all fell to the ground. 

It wasn't that they were dead. They were alive and rolling on the ground, groaning in pain.

The thug leader was terrified. "Someone! Someone, save me!!!" He cried pitifully.

No one came to assist him as he cried and begged for help. They gave him a frightened look and stayed away. No one wanted to save such a wretched man.

Catherine watched them suffering just like her. but she felt nothing. Just like her body, her mind was going numb. 

Her eyes were almost closed when she sensed someone holding her carefully and taking her in their arms. 

'Who…?' Curious, she opened her eyes and tried to focus her blurry vision on the person. She met Sebastian's teary face.

"Catherine, you will be fine. You will be fine. I will take you to the Mistress. She will heal you. Can you endure a bit?" 

He cupped her face and continued with his quivering voice, "Don't close your eyes. Keep them open for me. Keep them open!"

He was anxious and couldn't figure out if he could take her first or take care of those thugs.

As if to help him out, Darius was walking past them. He was with two women. At that moment, he spotted the injured Catherine and desperate Sebastian.

He left the women and ran toward them. "What happened?" he asked.

Sebastian saw him and narrated shortly, "These bastards kidnapped her and tried to kill her."

"Damn these fuckers!" Darius kicked the thug leader who was groaning. "Take her to Veronica. I'll bring those bastards to the tower."

"All right." Sebastian carried Catherine in his arms and then used a magic stone to teleport to the Magic Tower.

Veronica was about to fall asleep when someone knocked on the door with urgency. She exchanged glances with Arthur who was reading a book on the bed.

"It seems urgent. Will you open the door?" she asked him in a sleepy tone. 

She might have stayed in the tower all day, but she worked extra hard; which made her too tired to get out of bed.

"I will." Arthur shut his book and got up. 'I will have to make new rules so that others don't disturb Nica in the bedroom,' he thought.

As soon as he opened the door, Sebastian cried out in a shaky voice, "Master, please ask the Mistress to heal Catherine. She bled too much."

His voice was loud enough. Veronica jumped out of the bed. She forgot to cover her body with something thick. Wearing a light nightgown, she came closer.

"Where is Cathy? What happened to her?" she asked anxiously. 

Arthur was stunned when he saw a bloody mess on Sebastian's clothes. He became concerned about Catherine. 

However, the thing that worried him most was his wife was almost half-naked in front of his subordinate. 

He hurriedly took off his white shirt and placed it on her shoulders. Then, he buttoned it. After he checked that her chest was covered, he relaxed.

Neither Veronica nor Sebastian cared about her half-naked appearance. Sebastian told her, "I left her in her room. She is bleeding profusely."

Veronica grabbed her husband's hand. "Arthur, teleport me to her room."

Except for Arthur and Ovior, other magicians couldn't use teleportation inside the tower. For emergencies, some Senior Magicians were permitted to use teleportation for a short period.

Others could easily teleport one place to other places, but not inside the tower. 

Even so, most of them would use magic stones to teleport as this magic could be too powerful and not everyone could handle it because of lack of mana.

As for Arthur and Ovior, they mastered the magic and could use it without needing any magical stone.

Others who mastered the magic were all Senior Magicians. They use their mana to create teleportation magic stones. They earned a lot from it as the stone was valuable and rare.

Anywhere in the world, teleportation magic stones would be expensive. In Tybu, this magic stone could be found anywhere, and so, it was less expensive. 

After Arthur, Sebastian, and Veronica went to Catherine's room, the couple found Catherine on her bed, laying on her stomach. There was a dagger on her back. Her clothes were drenched in her blood.

"Oh, my goodness!" Veronica gasped. She strode forward. She tried to grab the dagger.

"Let me take it off!" Sebastian hurriedly interrupted her. He marched to the bed and carefully held the dagger. His hand was trembling. He closed his eyes and yanked the dagger.

"Ahhh!" Catherine was half unconscious. She yelled as soon as she felt pain in her back.

Veronica placed her hands on her friend's body. Gradually, a white light sipped through her palms and the bleeding successively stopped.

Catherine could barely hold it any longer. Sensing all the pain going away, she relaxed her muscles. Soon, she passed out.

After Veronica healed her friend's entire body, she began to unfasten her bloody clothes. 

"Sebastian, bring a bowl of warm water," she ordered him.

"Heh? Oh, oh…"
