Alessia was feeling frustrated. She is an A rank adventurer. Even the king of this country cannot look down on her. She is known as the {Sword Saintess} and is renowned throughout the world.
But right now she is going to die a pathetic and miserable death. She would have atleast felt a bit better if her death can save the life of her companions. That would have been a worthy death in her opinion. Alas, that is not the case. She is going to die and then her companions, who have stayed together with her in every situation will follow her soon afterward. She is really feeling like a absolute weakling.
As the paws of the giant bear monster was falling toward her, she felt like her whole life was flashing before her eyes.
She was born as a peasant, in the domain of a cruel lord. Once their little village was attacked by the knight of the lord and got completely destroyed. She was not aware of the reason for this. Her father, mother got killed, and even her little sister was caught by the knights.
But when Alessia was in utter despair, she found a fallen, half broken sword. Half-absent mindedly she picked it up and tried to put a last stand. But that was when her talents bloomed. She cut down all 20 of the knights and saved the village and her sister. Then she helped the survivors run away through a dense forest and killed all the monsters she faced.
After that she started working as an adventurer and reached A rank in just 7 years. She was also able to punish the corrupted lord and completed her revenge.
Now she was taking care of her little sister and was living a happy life. But everything was coming to an end. Her last thought before her demise was-
"Oh God of Weapon and Supreme Goddess of Heart sama, please somehow save my comrades' life and let my little sister have a good life going forward. Sorry, Milia for leaving you behi-"
But her thoughts were stopped. Even the time itself seemed to halt. A extremely beautiful women appeared out of nowhere and stopped the monster's paw like nothing with just one hand. Alessia was unable to think anymore. Then suddenly the large bear like monster was thrown away and Beautiful goddess spoke to her-
"You have quite a lot of wounds huh. Same goes for your companions.
After healing the heavily injured group Elena thought-
"A level 295 huh. And looks like it's actually even a mid boss. Let's restrict my stats at level 250 and try my basic sword style on it. I hope I can get some sort of inspiration."
After healing Alessia and her friends the supreme Goddess of Salvation gave her a insanely beautiful smile. Alessia and all three of her companions almost fainted by the power of that smile and started blushing like crazy.
Then all of them witnessed something they will never forget for their whole life. Their Goddess of Salvation turned into Goddess of War and using beautiful and perfect moves started playing with the huge monster. Yes playing. Her speed was not faster than the monster. Her size was nothing compared to it. If the monster even hit her once she will die. (It looked like so but was not the case)
This was supposed to be a battle between David and Goliath, but it looked more like a adult disciplining a child and that child being Goliath. Her sword play was so perfect that even the [Sword Saintess] was mesmerised.
All of her moves looked simple but absolutely perfect. So perfect that nothing can avoid it. In just mere minutes the large monster was cut into several pieces losing both arms, feets and finally it's head. Killing a peak A rank monster king looked like mere child's play to her.
...
After killing the monster, Elena was dissatisfied. Even tho this monster had higher stats than normal, it's movements were clumsy and very easy to predict. Even the battle with Greyis was more satisfying than this.
Even tho she was dissatisfied for a moment but she quickly came back to her sense and went to the group of previously injured adventurers. Then she asked the sword wielding girl if they are alright and hold out her hand to help her stand up as she was still sitting on the ground.
Alessia hold her hand with nervousness and said while standing up-
"Thank you very much, Onee-sama. We all would have died without your help. I don't know how to thank you."
"Don't worry about thanking me. Treat me to good food in your favourite restaurant and that will be enough. By the way, I'm Elena. Nice to meet you all."
Hearing her greeting Alessia also hurriedly introduced themselves-
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Alessia Ranneslac. A honorary Countess of Myrilia Kingdom and the leader of A rank adventurer party [Azure Legion]. I'm also an A rank adventurer and my title is [Sword Saintess]."
Others also introduced themselves-
"I'm Nina, member of [Azure Legion] and a B rank adventurer. My occupation is thief and I can also use bow."
"My name is Marina and I am a spear user. I can also use a little bit of healing magic. My adventurer rank is B."
"And I'm Shia, a mage. I can use magic of fire, wind and darkness element. I'm also a B rank adventurer. Thank you very much, Onee-sama for saving our life from the very bottom of my heart."
Shia bowed deeply as she introduced herself. Elena nodded and said-
"I'm here to collect "Noctura" grass. So if you all want, you can come with me. It will not take much time for me to collect the herb, then we all can return to the city together. Even tho your wounds have healed, it will still be dangerous for you all as you all are quite tired. So what do you think?"
Hearing her question all of them looked at each other and nodded to themselves. Alessia replied-
"We thank you once again for your kind benevolence. Please allow as to depend upon your kindness once again and let us accompany you, Onee-sama."
"Don't be so formal. You can call me Elena. I will also call you all by your name. Okay, Alessia?"
"Yes, please do so Elena-Oneesama. We cannot be any happier."
"By the way, is it common for monster of such strength to be this close to the city ?"
"No, it is not. There was increasing monster activity in the forest even tho there was a monster tide not long ego. So we were send to investigate. And there we found a new high level dungeon." Nina said.
"But we were unlucky as, as soon as got near the dungeon a monster outbreak occured and we were forced to fend off a horde of about 50 C and 5 B rank monsters. After a hard battle as we were all exhausted, this motherfucker attacked us, and Elena-Oneesama saved us." Said Marina.
Chatting like that Elena and the [Azure Legion] collected the herb first and then returned to the city.
