Chapter 124: _Nothing She Could Do
"H– He’s dead," I said with a shaky voice as I closed my eyes and drew in a deep breath while Kaelos held me close.
As much as I wanted Tonka dead in the first place, actually seeing him dead with my own eyes when all I wanted was to track him down was... Bone-chilling.
Who or what could have killed him after he ran away?
"How do you even know he’s dead?" Kaelos suddenly asked as he slowly let go of me when he noticed I was okay, a frown etched on his face. "Also, even if he’s dead, can’t you track him?"
I could see his frustration and felt bad, but there was nothing I could do.
"The spell I used was meant to track down a living being, using the traces they left behind on an object of their possession," I explained, scratching the back of my head. "I don’t know how I saw Tonka dead but I couldn’t... I couldn’t feel him. At all. I can’t track him because he’s dead."
I shook my head when I remembered the image once again, causing me to rub my forehead as I walked toward the balcony.
I could feel Kaelos’ intense staring on my back but I paid no heed to that and kept on moving. If only I knew how to cast other locator spells, then maybe I would’ve been able to bypass the rule of only tracking living beings.
"Were you able to at least see the things around his body?" Kaelos asked from behind me when I finally got to the balcony.
