Lothar led Shia to the next floor of the order's base, the Gauntlet, while Lothar holds the enemy in the Shield floor, the enemy is approximately 50 strong fighters againts the destroyer, Lothar.
Shia while running, he said something to Lothar; 

    "You better win and survive or else I will kill you myself" Shia to Lothar.

   Lothar raises his hand clinching his fist while facing his back on Shia. The alarm plan did not succeed, so plan b is to fight the Grim Order
   Lothar had been fighting almost non-stop, taking on an entire legion of warriors loyal to the Grim Order. He was determined to protect Shia as he ran to the stairs, which would lead him to the next level. It was the only option if they wanted to get the Elixir and Lothar's sister.
   He was vastly outnumbered, all in full battle gear. But neither his courage nor his strength wavered.
  He braced himself for the oncoming wave of warriors, standing firm among the dirt and rubble. He shouted that he would not be defeated by them. His bravery struck a chord in each of them, and they all stopped for a moment, as if his words had cast a spell on them.

   But the moment soon passed, and the battle resumed. Every time Lothar managed to block a blow or dodge a strike, his courage seemed to fortify the enemy's conviction that he could be conquered. He clawed back, defending his own life and securing Shia's escape.

    Here he was: standing alone against fifty members of the Grim Order, labeled as the Dark Organization. With no choice but to fight, he held up his axe; attacking, dodging and blocking.  The Grim Order's forces were relentless. Lothar felt his axe arm weaken with each strike. Sweat dripped down his face, his wounds only growing with every blow he blocked. He was feeling the strain of the battle, but somehow he managed to stay standing.

   Still, the fighters of the Grim Order weren't backing down. Wave after wave came at him, and with each blow his gear was pounded with more force. Despite his best efforts, his body was weakening. He was sure he'd soon lose the fight.

The number of the enemy has decreased but there are still many left.

    "What's wrong Lothar?! Is this all you can do!" Lothar talks to himself in a tired voice.

   The elite officer runs towards Shia but Lothar stands his ground to anyone who will go towards Shia. The elite officer told his subordinates to bring Lothar's head to the Lord then the remaining enemies surrounded him. Lothar can feel the numbness in his body, breathing heavily while still observing the enemies.

   "Come! let's end this, I will show you the underworld's gate" Lothar panting.

The enemy attacked again but now with long range attacks.

  "Fireball"

  "Icycle Shard"

  "Wind Tornado"

  "Water Arrow"

   All these magic spells are going to hit Lothar, but Lothar really doesn't want to fall. He has suffered a lot of wounds and blood-loss after the attack was made. 

    "I'm close to seeing my sister, so I can't lose here" Lothar is determined.

  Lothar rushed before he could be overtaken, Stealthaxe Technique: Second Style; Splitter Earth *smashes the ground* it caused a mini-earthquake that cracked the ground. Many enemies have lost their balance and here Lothar has the chance to kill those who were hit by his attack, but the Shield's floor general came, hit Lothar hard with the Star Shaped Shield and Lothar was thrown far away, after the hit he spits blood while holding his rib-cage.

  "I think I broke a bone near my ribs" *feeling the pain*

  While Lothar was sitting, Shield's floor general Aspis the Minotaur came to him, grabbed his head and pulled him up.

    "Oh boy Lothar, I had high expectations of you, I would have made you my second in command but you betrayed us, for what?!" Aspis to Lothar in big deep voice.

  Lothar looked at him in the eyes, and said he wanted to see his sister but Aspis laughed loudly.

  "You fool!" and hit Lothar at the same time.

   It is said that only those in the Core stage know about this, but he said that Lothar will not reach there because he will kill him right here.

   "Any last words?" Aspis said while raising his weapon.

   "G-E-O" Lothar said.

  "What's that? What a lame last words" Aspis while laughing.

After a few seconds, someone arrived.

   "What's so funny about my name?!" The man said in a cold looking face.

  Aspis turned around and here he saw a man wearing a black hoodie and a sword on fire walking towards them.

  "Who's this wimpy kid? Is this one of your friends?" Aspis said while laughing.

   In just a blink, Geo immediately went in front of Aspis and he was in a attacking stance Flame-Dragon Technique; Second Style: "Flammenheib", Aspis couldn't even get away from it because Geo's attack was going to his neck at such a high speed.          

          "Sh*t!" Aspis said ~
