The feast last night was very sumptuous. Elena used meat of the S rank level 399 dragon. As that was meat from a high leveled monster king, it was not only tasty but also helped the adventurers to raise their stats by quite a lot.
After eating to their hearts content and then getting a very good sleep all the Adventurers were on cloud nine. But they got serious as now they were going to dive into the sea. But all their seriousness got blown away when Elena declared the continuation of last night's feast and cooked a lot of S rank sea monsters and made them into delicious dish for their breakfast.
After completing the breakfast Elena told them the plan she made for today-
"Today you all are going to fight 3 A rank sea monsters and 2 S rank sea monsters. That will be all. Don't worry the S rank monsters will be at just level 301. Then I will just give you all free time of 1 whole day to do whatever you all want. You can either train or just spend the whole day sleeping, I don't mind. I will take that time to go to the fourth and the fifth floor and clear them.
You all don't have to follow me for that as it will not be useful for any of you. All of you have seen a lot of fights between higher level individual already, so seeing more will not be very useful.
And also not taking care of burdens like you all will let me finish it quicker. So yeah, just do whatever you all want. I will put some summons behind for any uncertainties."
The adventurer were sad to hear that they were just burden for Elena. As she always had restricted her level at 300 when fighting they didn't thought her stats were out of the world as most monsters she fought looked to has better stats then her. But the level of her skill was out of the world so the adventurers were unable to judge her true strength. Seeing their dejected expression she smiled at them kindly and told them-
"I'm not calling you all burden to belittle you, but to make sure you all understand that there are always someone stronger. All of you had gotten quite a lot stronger than your previous self, haven't you? But don't let this get on your head and remember to be diligent.
We haven't been together for long, it's only been 3-4 days but I really enjoyed it. I did had some disagreement at first but now I can proudly say they I am, right now very happy to meet and spend time with all of you."
All the Adventurers stood up and altogether bowed toward Elena and said in perfect sync almost like they had practiced it beforehand-
"Thank you very much, Elena-sama to teach and guide us. We are ever grateful to you for your advice and kindness. Please accept our heartfelt respect."
Elena smiled sweetly seeing them bowing toward her and went ahead to hug each and every one of them. Both the men and women got a bit embarrassed by a very gorgeous person like Elena hugging them. She also patted the head of the individuals who had done very well like- Alessia, Marina, Rishia, Shia. Then she casted a spell {Mass [Water Conqueror]} to let them freely roam the sea and fight the mentioned monsters.
She then very quickly killed all the monsters except the mentioned A and S ranks which included even the boss of this floor which was a level 420 Giant Whale like monster. And then she left for the fourth floor.
...
After Elena left the adventurers who were left behind decided to make three teams and to kill the A ranks first. And after that they will gather together to fight against the S rank ones.
The first and second groups content the A rank parties and the third group was made of off all the remaining B rank adventurers. They each are going to face of against one A rank each. The third group chose the weakest one and Alessia's group chose the strongest one.
Going to their each different ways Azure Legion reached the place where Elena told them, they would find a level 299 Eel monster. Shia was astonished not by the large eel but but Elena's spell-
"I can't believe a spell like this exists. This is not a rank spell or even a grade spell but only a tier spell. How can the effect be so strong? We can walk or run in the water, inside the deep sea just like above ground. This is amazing."
Alessia replied to her as she unsheathed her sword-
"Yes, but you should not be surprised right? We all know that Elena-Oneesama is amazing. She is the best in the world."
Everyone nodded their head. Alessia spoke up again-
"Let's go Marina, Nina. I will attacked it from the front and you all can be right behind me. Shia, support us with water magic. Everyone be extra careful of its lightning."
Instructing so Alessia went ahead and started fighting the monster. Marina was right behind her and using the gaps in the defence of the monster to stab it with her spear. Nina fired one arrow after another to exploit more flaws and also to create new flaws in this monsters defence.
But as they were under water the arrow were very slow. The movement speed of Marina and Alessia was not slowed down because of the magic's effect but the effect didn't extended to their weapons. Other magic will also be weaken inside the water so Shia was restricted to cast only water magic which didn't have much effect on this monster.
But with perfect coordination and understanding between each other, they were slowly but surely able to gain an upper hand and were able to be victorious after a long bout.
The electric sparks died down as the monster fell. They stored the monster inside a storage item that Elena gifted all the members of the expedition team. Items capable of this function were known as divine artifacts in this world so all the adventurers were moved to tears by her generosity.
So after storing the monster they returned to the campsite.
...
The leader of the Five Armaments Drago was filled with guilt for bad-mouthing Elena at their first meeting and was always in a depressed mood after entering the dungeon. Rishia, their mage actually had a crush on Drago as she preferred older gentleman but now she had completely forgotten about that as she became the biggest fan of Elena and she was the person who blamed Drago the most. The other female member of the party, the healer Helena was also a member of "Sister Society" and "Elena Appreciation Committee".
The brawler Jack and thief Nick were also indebted to Elena so had no sympathy for their leader. But today Elena specially called Drago and officially forgave him in front of his team. For last three days, even though their team was working perfectly fine in the surface but there was always some hidden tension as Helana and Rishia blamed the leader. But now, all such tension was gone. So, Drago was no more depressed and was determined to redeem himself. Seeing their targeted monster, a level 280 seahorse, he loudly said-
"C'mon guys. It's time to have some bloody fun."
