Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

The Holy Astore Barrier, supported by nearly ten eighth-order mana resonance casters, became unbreakable within a two-kilometer radius.

"These people are the true bloodthirsty audience."

Now the companions of the White Robed Pope have all stopped, staying with the rebelling War Gods on the south side, while the remaining War Gods are on the north side where Simon Luo, the Eleventh Military God, is, either supporting the barrier or "closely" observing the main battlefield two kilometers away.

"They indeed have the ability to watch from such a distance, and now, whether they wish it or not, they must approach the battlefield and stand at the forefront."

"Anyway, protecting Brilda seems to be the best option for everyone, also the wisest choice from a benevolent standpoint."

This could be the only comfort they can get outside of the Loren battle situation.

No matter how dire the battle situation in Loren is, it won't add further pressure to the main battlefield externally.

"At this point, it's hard to say who's right or wrong, who's true or false; history is written by the victors."

Regarding the broadcast of the Blood Moon City scene, as citizens of the kingdom, they would unconditionally believe that the White Robed Pope and Loren are the just side, but they also know, for the Cerryti Empire, it's another stance.

The true victory or defeat today can only be decided by the ninth-order battle within the barrier.

The winning side is justice, and the losers will only be buried in history.

Within the Holy Astore Barrier, the battle between Loren and Hesintos continues.

Loren gathers the power of the wind to unleash a deadly heavy punch.

If struck by the heavy punch, it will trigger a storm and inflict multiple hits.

Using the power of the wind, Loren dashes a certain distance instantly, causing damage and rigidity effect to Hesintos upon collision, and within a certain time can dash again through additional spell casting.

This is Loren's most crucial flexible linking spell, able to forcibly interrupt current spell casting and immediately cast Gale Dash.

But all this was blocked by Hesintos' all-encompassing sword Qi circle.

Hesintos has an advantage in attack power, and similarly an advantage in defense.

There's a constant stream of wounds from Hesintos' slashes on Loren's body, and he rationally gives up on this offensive.

"Alright, let me give you an end."

After releasing a planar slash, Hesintos instantly moves into the danger zone to unleash a wide-range attack.

Loren's intuition tells him he must quickly move behind Hesintos after the planar slash judgement, or he'll surely be hit head-on.

"Sequence of cause and effect."

The sword Qi circle, deployed where Loren is, starts shrinking, seemingly out of sync with space-time, making any direction of evasion wrong; in a moment of desperation, Loren expends significant mana to teleport several hundred meters away, as the sword Qi circle exploded upon shrinking.

No sooner had Loren recalculated the space.

Another formed sword Qi circle enveloped him.

Loren intended to evade it again.

"Reverse sequence of cause and effect."

Hesintos locks onto Loren, launching a ring attack, this time with an expanding sword Qi.

The ring attack sweeps across the battlefield like a tidal wave, carrying endless destructive force.

Completely struck Loren is covered in mist and explosions.

Hesintos hasn't held back, he thrusts his sword into the ground, detonating most of the safe area, leaving only a small area safe.

Loren is bound to be struck, or hide within the sword Qi sea to avoid the explosion.

In the storm, Loren struggles through blood-blurred eyes, a frame later sees Hesintos already has assaulted him face to face.

Hesintos swings his sword thrice, the first two are linear slashes, while the third is a planar slash with safety only around Hesintos.

Loren must not stay too far from Hesintos while evading the first two linear slashes to avoid getting hit by the third planar slash.

Yet Loren judges accurately, shimmering to Hesintos' back covered in blood, with the wounds on his body beginning to heal rapidly.

It's all thanks to his Wind God protection informing him how to evade.

"Your healing spell is indeed useful."

Hesintos applauds by patting the sword hilt, glancing back at Loren.

Without warning, he summons a clone to execute a horizontal slash, while the main body and another strongest clone jump above or below to launch slashes.

The light of the slashes tears through the darkness like lightning.

At this distance, combining with the previous battle experience, Loren's better solution is to continue close-range evasion or directly block with spells rather than evade far.

But Loren's eyes suddenly froze.

The spell barrier he intended to cast—Wind God's Whisper, was interrupted by unknown resistance during casting, causing him to involuntarily spit out blood.

"Collapse of causality."

Only to see Hesintos' lips muttering as he unleashes his strongest sword technique, accompanied by his counter-spell, countless swords descend from the sky.

In the sword rain, Loren frantically weaves between swords, leaping to avoid the circles created by their descent.

Every sword landing resonates with the Holy Astore Sky Barrier.

Hesintos transforms into a storm to chase Loren, releasing ring slashes from swords touched on the ground.

As the storm passes, dust flies, tiles are uprooted, magic power shattered, the entire first level barrier crumbles in the sword storm.

Hesintos summons a massive number of dark golden sword Qi circles, pursuing Loren, the explosive impact like a dark golden sea of fire shakes the entire battlefield, Loren is swallowed in the wrathful aftermath of explosions.
