Chapter 5: Highest floor

The group was still whole, the balance was maintained. Aarit was leading the team inwards on every floor before leading them up, this way, they avoided using the same ladder all the time. Aarit was a warlock with a very strong architectural intelligence. After moving a little inside a structure, he could visualize which staircase led to where, which door connected to where, the size of the rooms and the width of the halls. This was a talent that he constantly developed by building structures on his own. Aarit was famous for imprisoning his enemy or a group in a complex structure. Although the structures he built with his magic were not very resistant to impact, it was ideal for distracting the sorcerers he trapped in them. It would not be clear when or where a trap would come out, and Aarit could constantly change the structure according to the behavior of the person he would imprison. Although this was not an effective method for sorcerers with destructive powers, it was very ideal for finishing off low- or medium-level sorcerers, it could make a group advantageous. He is also pretty young which meant that after developing his magic even more, he could even potentially trap very powerful sorcerers.

Finally, the whole team had reached the highest floor, this time Aarit followed a very complicated route than he had done on the other floors, it was so unorthodox that Aarit had received a warning of slower progress from the back groups. He was excited, as he thought about the layout of the floors he had climbed up till now, a strong possibility emerged as to where the object was hiding. A little later he was going to see if he was thinking correctly. That's why he apparently accelerated his steps without noticing it.

He figured out the most sheltered building of the sorcerers during this task without even knowing any of its sketches or exterior appearance before. Just as he thought, he was standing in front of a room with a staff restriction... With the group's messenger, he gave a stop sign to the other groups and called Torck. Torck and Koresh, who is good at tracing down and searching, replaced two soldiers from the first group and came to Aarit's side. Aarit pointed to the room. Koresh sat down on the floor, made a strange sign with his hand, and took it to his head, stopped breathing and started telling what he saw. Aarit thought to himself how he could talk when he wasn't even breathing.

-A laboratory. There's a lot of magic that I've never sensed before... a familiar, but also a strange magic... interesting materials, solutions and..... Ahhh!!!

Koresh, who normally wears a very calm demure look, began to rub his head on the floor in an unusual groan. He was writhing in pain, and Aarit could see that he was trying to do it as quietly as he could, so as not to jeopardize the mission. Torck cut quickly Koresh's outfit with a knife of stone that he created in his hands, then he summoned the medic from the nearest group, in the meantime, he put the knife to Koresh's throat. The moment he screamed or made any sound that could endanger the group Torck would slit his throat. Fortunately Abreim, the healer of the group got it quickly under control. Koresh stopped crawling on the floor from the pain, but didn't completely recover himself. He opened his mouth to speak, but instead a green smoke that smelled like something was burning came out. Torck understood what happened.

Koresh uses the magic that he had cultivated in his mind in a special way for many years to perceive places not visible for the eye. Such perception abilities are taught by the army. Their education was very difficult, only special people were chosen. They first trained the spell they kept in their minds to perceive magic, and then they switched to sorcery. Although the warlock army had captured a lot of sorcerers, wands, weapons, materials, sorcery as loot, the resource was relatively limited to magic. Therefore, after the students are able to identify all the magic and sorcery in the repertoire, they were gradually sent to the battlefield to record new sorceries, and then they would have other perception warlocks identify them by imitating an equivalent of similar magic, even if it was not exactly the same. Koresh was one of the perception warlocks, whose source was the widest. He completed the academy with a second place, then worked with many teams of warlocks and thoroughly developed himself. Even if it was the first time that he had encountered a sorcery, he could predict what kind of thing might happen thanks to its structure and the feeling it gave. In this way, Hammer Team would know what sorcerers would attack them with in advance, target their weaknesses and apply a counterattack with increased damage. It was a well-known fact that perception warlocks faint when encountering a powerful foreign magic or sorcery. Because of this, they always carry a elixir that they keep that cleanses that magic or sorcery from their minds. Unfortunately, this mixture had a side effect, it was a powerful potion, and therefore it was easy to sense, so Koresh did not take the potion with him on this mission. Torck had heard that Koresh had never fainted before, that's why he invited him to the Hammer Team so that he could resist all kinds of magic.

Seeing Koresh like this was a sure proof that what they were looking for was inside. Torck wasn't too happy about them finding out where the object was, it wasn't good for Koresh to faint. He was the most resistant to sorcery among them, and when they found the object, they agreed that Koresh should carry it, and it was not good for one of his men to faint just before they entered the room. Torck entrusted Koresh to Aarit. He no longer had much of a task left, after all, he did not need a clean road to return, they were going to make a flashy exit. Torck called Anwir who was the leader of the third group and was an expert in imitation. He sent Koresh and Aarit to Tom, who had some knowledge of concealing spells, who had come to the infiltration team instead of Ari. Tom cast a concealment spell on Koresh because he fainted. Anwir used to go to the intuition academy, like Koresh, but he didn't succeed. His mind was insufficient to remember all sorts of magic. He used what he had learned at the academy to copy spells. He could only perceive and copy magic once, and then he couldn't keep it in mind. Except for formulas that he considers very valuable. Sometimes formulas that from sorcery would be more powerful when they found a similar equivalent in magic. Hence, he had become the leader of the third group, he had an answer to every sorcery, and he had very powerful magic.

Anwir touched the magic sensor on the door with his hand and sensed what kind of sorcery the device was hungry for. Yes, as if the device was alive, it was thirsty for sorcery. Anwir was scared for a moment. Although such a device could copy magic, it could eventually understand that it was not sorcery, after all, because its source was magic, it might not taste the same and alarm the entire building. He told Torck about his concern.

-Then you'll break down the door, Torck said.

He understood the message. They had already found the object, and if they activated the alarm, Hammer Team could easily take battle position and escape to the ship with little loss. Anwir concentrated and applied the desired sorcery in its magic equivalent to the place of the device that felt like a mouth. He sensed that the device found it a little strange at first, as if he had tasted the imitation from the tip first, and then began to eat it with appetite. He felt the device fill with an unexpected satisfaction, and the door opened without a sound. The Upper world, It was an interesting place, where sorcerers had strange methods. Putting an device that the only food he likes is a certain sorcery on the door, is that secure? It's crazy. But there was one thing the Hammer Team didn't know yet. This laboratory, which they now entered comfortably through its main door, was an even crazier place…
