Chapter 273: She Is Different

"I wish I could," said Third Eye with a shake of his head. "But it is not that simple. This traitor of yours is hiding too deep, and I might be sounding like an idiot, but they seem to have a sort of protection. The kind that keeps witch hunters like me at bay, see this?" He circled his finger around the changed runes and tapped on them. A second later, the entire surroundings turned colder than they already were, and a dark puddle erupted beside Third Eye; from it rose a silverly blue spirit, who walked to the edge of the magic circle and was set on fire almost immediately the second it touched it.

"Woah, what happened?!" Ajax stepped back as the soul, which was already dead, let out an ear-splitting scream of anguish and disappeared.

"We use the spirits of our ancestors, the ones who died with a grudge against witches, to trace them down," replied Third Eye as he got to his feet. "Usually, it works all the time, unless the witches or wizards have some kind of really strong protection around them. This traitor of yours has that very protection."

"What kind of protection?" Killian asked.

"It could be anything," shrugged Third Eye. "From a little divine artefact or something that was blessed by the devil himself. We can never be sure when it comes to witches; they are neither evil nor pure. They are more in the grey area, aren’t they?"

"They kill for fun," deadpanned Finn.

"I know. But they don’t kill as much as the demonic worshippers, and they do it quite cleanly instead of dragging their agony."

"Who says–"

"There is no point in starting another pointless discussion," said Killian through gritted teeth. "It doesn’t matter if the witches are more evil or the demonic worshippers. For all I care, even the Zealots are in the same league. They are all evil."
