"The mind is everything, your thoughts will become your reality" --

  Geo successfully cut off the head of the shield general Aspis without even reacting to Geo's attack, even Aspis's subordinates were stunned by what happened because they didn't think that only one hit killed the shield general that even His subordinates couldn't even hit Aspis. Geo was still in a fighting stance against whoever wanted to rush after him but instead of fighting, the opposite happened, they were all happy as if celebrating the death of Aspis. They thanked Geo because they seemed to have been released from prison.

     "Huh? what happened?" Geo is confused while watching them celebrate.
    "I'm sorry Sir Lothar, we were just ordered, I'm really sorry" Everyone said to Lothar

   After what happened, Lothar passed out, Geo immediately went to him to use medicine, because he doesn't know how to use healing magic, but there are healers among Aspis subordinates who volunteer to heal Lothar. After they finished performing healing magic, Lothar woke up, he was healed but not fully because he had many deep wounds.

  "Geo, thank you very much" Lothar said.
  "Don't say thank you yet, we have three more floors to go" Geo replied.

  Geo has memorized the map inside the base so it's easy for them to get around here. While they were running towards the Gauntlet Floor, Geo apologized to Lothar because he took a long time to arrive *in a cold looking face* because he was still talking to Shia in the Muffs.

   "Geo, can I ask? What did you say to Shia? Lothar asked.

  "It's hard to say now" Geo replied.

  And they kept running until they reached the Gauntlet Floor, when they opened the Skull Shaped door they saw Shia standing with a serious face.

  Meanwhile, Aspis' subordinates follow Geo and Lothar to see their family on the Core Floor.

 (Gauntlet Floor)

   So Shia was just standing there, he had defeated all the undead mercenaries on this floor including the Gauntlet General. There are no living creatures here, they are all undead powered by magic all recruits who land on the Gauntlet floor are eaten by the floor general. The other undead mercenaries asked for Shia's help, they were begging Shia to kill them rather than live like this, so Shia did it without hesitation. Shia didn't even get a scratch or wound in his fight. When Shia saw Geo, he knelt in front of him and said;

  "I have defeated the enemies from here my master" Shia said.

  " Hey, you're strong, and it's good thank you Shia" Geo said.

   A big smile was seen on Shia's face because his master praised him.

  "Ohhhh, I don't deserve your praise my master, I'm just a lowly butler" Shia said while putting his hand in his chest.

   Even if Shia doesn't want Geo to go inside, but he can't do anything because Geo also needs experience if they are to face the demon army.

  The next destination they will go to is the Academy floor where the Elixir of Life is hidden to heal Julie. There aren't that many strong mercenaries on this floor because they're just doing experiments. Aspis' subordinates still followed until this point. When they arrived at the Academy Floor, they saw in the distance that the people here had black eyebags, their bodies were almost bones and skin, their hair was falling out, and if you looked at it, it was like working corpses.

    "It is indeed a dark organization" Geo said while hiding in the pillars.
  
   The alarms didn't trigger here because Shia had destroyed everything.
Geo opened the door slowly and this is what he saw.
   Geo was taken aback by what he saw when he stepped into the Academy laboratory floor. Massive machines, tubes, flasks full of mysterious liquids, and strange human specimens lined the walls. In the center of the room was what looked like a giant brain, with eyes.

    Geo approached with caution, and noticed that the brain-like creature was connected to the various tubes and experiments. He also noticed that the creature was connected to the various human specimens in the room, and he realized that he was looking at some sort of gruesome scientific experiment.
   This giant brain is the one who runs the Academy Floor General, Cerebe. It can detect your fears and thoughts, when Aspis' subordinates saw the human specimen they remembered it. Some are their family, others are friends or maybe lovers.
    Geo told them to calm down because the giant brain might wake up.
Shia asked Lothar if he could see his sister here but he said no, his sister's face seemed to be blurred in his mind. Shia and Geo stared at each other.

     "How old were you Lothar when you enter the Order?" Geo asked.
    "All I remember is that the Grim Order rushed to our village and took away everything they could use, like me. I didn't follow their orders then but when they said they had my sister and they were curing her because she had a magic-curse, so I did everything they ordered me to do so that she can be healed and we will meet again, and this is that day" Lothar replied.
   
   After they talked, Geo looked back at the Giant Brain and just a few minutes Aspis's subordinates rushed at the Giant Brain to kill it but it awoke, it's eyes glaring and before they could get close to the brain they instantly attacked each other.   

     "What's happening?" Lothar said.
     "Giant Brain targets people's fears and thoughts and uses it as their weakness. He may have shown them the illusion that their companion is the thing they want to kill," Geo said.
  They thought about how to kill it when Geo saw the tube-like liquid in the center of the giant brain.

   "Wait, that's the Elixir that Yve told us about"
Geo said ~~
