Tangled By Fate-Chapter 460

Chapter 460: CHOP THE HANDS

“I can take your arms and legs and leave the rest to the villagers. What can you do without your arms?”

The henchman’s eyes constricted when he heard her question.

He recalled how she sliced off his fellow’s hands. He couldn’t help but shudder.

“Not happening. I will kill you before you can look at my arms,” he said.

The other two henchmen shouted from the back.

“Yes, get that bitch. Show her what will happen if she messes with the Duke’s men.”

“Kill her! Finish her off!”

.....

The henchman with the sword smirked. “Hear that? I have two men with me and you are all alone. What can you do?”

Veronica wasn’t scared of his threat.

She muttered, “If I can’t defeat you, I’ll just kill you. It’s easier. Don’t you think so?”

Her voice was low and cold. The villagers or the other two henchmen didn’t hear her.

However, along with the henchman who was fighting her, Ovior, Ironin and Sebastian heard her.

Ovior was speechless. “Am I hearing this correctly? Did I hear it from her mouth?”

“You aren’t wrong. She indeed said that,” Ironin confirmed his suspicions.

“Why does she look like a different person? It’s like she has completely changed. I’ve never seen her like this,” Sebastian whispered as though he was scared to speak loudly.

“I bet Arthur hasn’t seen this sight of her. If he knew, he would freak out,” Ovior stated.

They weren’t exaggerating when they expressed their concern.

They had known Veronica as the kindest woman in the world.

She was so caring to the point sometimes she acted like a fool.

Just a few days ago she was whining not to kill the innocent children of the enemies. She argued with Arthur about this topic.

However, today, what they had witnessed was beyond their imagination.

She didn’t look like the usual kind Veronica who was worldly recognized as the blessed child.

She looked like a warrior who came to save the villagers from the disaster.

The villagers and Ovior, Ironin and Sebastian watched the duel in silence.

The voices of two henchmen slowly died down as they saw their fellow was being beaten by a woman with a sword.

Veronica and the other henchman’s swords clashed several times.

The fight wasn’t as intense as she expected. The henchman wasn’t as skilled as she anticipated.

While she was trained by warrior elves and the most powerful warriors like Ironin, Zinnia, Darius and Roxana, the henchman was rather a street fighter.

He probably learned swordsmanship from a lousy swordsman. His skill wasn’t near Veronica’s.

With another three moves, Veronica made him drop his sword.

The sharp blade of her sword touched his neck.

“If you don’t want to lose this neck of yours, leave with your people and never return. Tell the Duke that there won’t be any money coming from this village.”

Her voice was loud and clear. Everyone heard her.

The other two henchmen dashed forward when they saw their leader was defeated.

They didn’t care about honor in a duel. They didn’t give a damn who was the winner.

They had to attack Veronica and kill her before she could trouble anyone.

However, they were blocked by Sebastian and Ironin.

“That’s how far you will go,” Ironin coldly warned them.

As they hesitated to stare at his cold eyes, Sebastian threatened, “If you want a fight, I’ll give you a bloody fight. Trust me.”

The henchmen understood that their opponent wasn’t someone they could easily deal with.

If the woman was alone, they had a chance but the woman had two companions who didn’t look easy.

Therefore, they didn’t dare to stay any longer. They took their injured henchman with them.

The villagers cheered. They praised the bravery of the young woman who came to their rescue.

However, the village head was gravely injured and the brave man who went to save him was barely breathing.

Veronica quickly went forward and touched his hand to understand his situation. His hand was ice cold.

“He lost too much blood,” she mumbled.

His wife was sitting close to him, crying her heart out.

“He is still alive,” Ovior stated the man’s situation while examining his pulse. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

He looked at Veronica and asked her, “Can you heal him?”

“Are you a healer?” The man’s wife glanced at Veronica with expectation. “Please, please heal him. I want nothing more than that. Just please heal him.”

“I will try. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be successful. He lost too much blood.”

Veronica licked her dry lips nervously. Then, she closed her eyes and focused on her power.

Slowly, a yellow ray came out of her palms.

The wound was deep. It took minutes to heal his back.

Veronica’s body turned cold when he was completely healed.

Her head spun. Sebastian quickly caught her.

“Mistress...”

“Don’t,” Veronica forbade him to use a proper title to address her.

The man’s injuries were healed. He soon opened his eyes. His wife cried in happiness.

“Thank you, miss. Thank you for saving my husband and me.”

She bowed to Veronica again and again while thanking her.

“It’s nothing. Please don’t bow to me. Where is the elder?” Veronica looked around.

“He was taken to his room,” Ovior replied. “He was heavily injured after all.”

“Take me there. I need to heal him before he suffers more.” With Sebastian’s help, Veronica got up.

“You can barely walk,” Ovior muttered but he didn’t stop her.

After healing the village head, Veronica didn’t have an ounce of energy left.

The villagers let Veronica stay in the best house so that she could get some rest. They even served meals for her and her companions.

Veronica rested in the bed while Ovior, Ironin and Sebastian were sitting on the chairs.

“Veronica, would you like to tell me what you have done out there tonight?” Ovior mentioned it first.

“What do you mean?” Veronica asked. Her eyes were shut as she rested.

“You sliced a man’s hands,” Ovior reminded her.

“Why? Did you think I can’t do it?” Veronica smirked.

Ovior stated, “That’s not the point. You are the kindest person I know. You don’t like the idea of people getting hurt.”

“People, Ovior, people. The man’s hands I sliced and the man I fought weren’t people. They were worse than animals. They are monsters. I don’t mind chopping off a monster’s hand and saving a human.”

When Veronica calmly explained her theory, the other three quietly stared at her.

“What happened to you when you were gone for months?”
