Chapter 851: Loren's Heavenly Divine Punishment_11
So many years have passed, yet there's abundant documentation on Loren's habitual strategies and tactics, available for any opponent to study.
However, understanding the true strategies of the opponent, or determining how many trump cards they hold, is something Loren has to analyze and discover during the battle itself.
Watching Loren fight, while Loren's heart can handle it, the audience can't.
"You always say I have a good mindset, but actually Loren's mindset is monstrous, don't you think?"
Lanci told his companions.
If one doesn't enter a state of clarity and enlightenment, they'd probably collapse, but Loren held strong.
"Mediocre state, bad start, trapped in a hard fight, falling behind, making blunders, defeat inevitable, giving a winner's speech."
The Bingxue Witch murmured as she looked at the center of the battlefield gradually coming under Loren's control.
In the past, she couldn't understand why Loren always managed to make a comeback from absolute defeat, but now she fully understood.
A powerful strength combined with a stable mindset, unmatched psychological tactics and problem-solving abilities, enabled Loren to repeatedly perform miraculous comebacks against the odds.
This holistic excellence made Loren seem like an ordinary and solid priest, but in truth, he was a divinely chosen, naturally gifted priest.
"Wait a minute, Teacher Almis, during the last seventh-order Shadow World, Dean Loren was holding his ground in the real world for over a month, all because of this guy Lanci's doing. If Loren didn't have such a good mindset, he would've exploded long ago!"
Hyperion believed that Loren's good mindset was, at times, forced upon him.
Ever since he met Lanci, Loren's life had elements beyond his control.
Suddenly, a burst of lightning in the sky caught their attention.
No one spoke again, all holding their breaths and focused on the mana that was powerful enough to penetrate the barrier.
Loren hovered in mid-air, his black robe fluttering without wind.
His face was expressionless, and his azure eyes reflected the image of Hesintos, wielding a sword, locked by intersecting beams of light.
Hesintos was no longer unscathed, instead eroded by the turbulent elemental forces, with blood beginning to flow from his ears and eyes.
"This is... elemental poisoning?"
Hesintos coughed up blood as he muttered to himself.
With an overwhelmingly abundant elemental force, it could typically be beneficial. However, if one's affinity for the current element is insufficient, the excessive elemental force in the environment can cause the body to lose balance.
Even during battle, Loren discerned the elemental affinities of his opponent.
And Loren, with his unique elemental affinities, could subject Hesintos to multiple layers of elemental poisoning.
Simultaneously, a dazzling light erupted from Loren, illuminating the entire battlefield like the sun.
This light contained pure elemental power, as though it sought to annihilate everything in its path.
Hesintos immediately felt an excruciating burning sensation, akin to extreme heat and cold simultaneously, both cutting and corroding.
Under Loren's command, all the elements converged, transforming into the purest natural disaster strength that created even as it destroyed, wreaking havoc on everything. The particles of light undulated in the air, and even from a distance, the intense light scorched Hesintos' skin. Flames raged beneath Loren's feet, painting the sky red, while frost covered the barrier, turning it into an extreme cold world. The dark insect chirps solidified into a heavy shield, impenetrably forming dark walls that completely blocked Hesintos' attack and escape routes.
Then, Loren's speed suddenly soared, swift as the wind, with wind-attribute mana forming slicing lines around him, the entire battlefield was enveloped as if by a hurricane.
Even from afar, beyond the barrier, all the eighth-order strongmen adopted defensive postures.
They knew this was the strongest finishing move Loren had ever used!
"What Loren has always excelled at is the full element attribute. Perhaps the Goddess of Destiny guided him to choose the gentlest wind, also the least likely to provoke natural disasters, hence he's deemed most proficient in Wind Magic."
Migaya's black hair was swept by the wind, but her face was filled with a rare joy,
"In reality, for Loren, what he truly excels at is triggering natural disasters. If he were to act without regard to consequences, he would indeed be the embodiment of catastrophe."
When the power of all elements converges, it not only reverts to the most primal natural forces but also embodies divine calamity and retribution.

Although Loren's current power slightly fell short of Hesintos, he was already able to successfully avoid Hesintos' counter-spells.
He wore an expression of someone determined to conclude the battle swiftly.
Because the disasters triggered by their fight might not dissipate for a long time, continuing might lead to unimaginable consequences, even causing the land to begin fracturing here.
Eventually, the Botswana Province might become just like the Sea of Disaster between the North and South Continent, uninhabitable for residents, with the entire South Continent potentially experiencing extreme climate changes from this point.
The power of natural disaster even caused Hesintos to show a terrified expression.
"This might be the only situation where Loren dares to use the Heavenly Divine Punishment."
Lanci looked at the Holy Astore Barrier, speaking with relief.
