The three of them proceeded cautiously, relying on the strength and knowledge slightly superior to ordinary Mages, they successfully navigated through many traps along the way.
For instance, a Magic Rune attached to the wall, triggered paralysis when anyone approached, easily detonated by Kurs with a small pebble.
Then there was the pressure trap disguised as Gold Coins, which he bypassed without a glance, skillfully avoiding the trigger Magic Scrolls hidden in the ceiling.
The third trap was a mushroom releasing hallucinogenic spores, which he simply waved his Magic Wand at, unleashing a Flame Snake that wiped out the fungi attached to the wall.
After successfully dismantling three traps, Kurs's confidence soared. He even started to believe that these "tests" designed by Master Merk were nothing special.
Eventually, they reached the end of the trap area, where a treasure chest casually placed in the middle of the road was already within reach.
