The seahorse monster was quite tough. It had high regeneration capability so it can heal from most wounds instantly. It can also create poison and change the fallen part of its body to poisonous substances. That was not all, as it can also create and control plants.
This monster's weakness was fire magic but as Five Armaments were fighting inside the water the power of fire magic was at its lowest. Physical attacks could definitely deal some damage but it could heal from that damage instantly too.
All in all, the Five Armaments were having quite a lot of trouble fighting against this monster. Helena was very tired by casting healing magic without rest to counter the poison.
Among the two frontliner only Drago was able to deal any meaningful damage by using a special aura skill which deals fire damage. Jack was completely resisted and was unable to do anything useful. Nick was also stumped as his attack power was not enough to offset the regeneration.
Rishia's strongest element was without a doubt Lightning but that was something this monster was resistant to.
But to break this deadlock situation the person who stepped up was her. She actually hid herself and went closer to the monster, even tho she was a mage very unsuitable for close quarters combat. There, in the close range she used a highly concentrated single target damaging fire magic Grade spell {Concentrated Star Flairball}. This was one of the spell Elena taught her.
So by that spell the monster was dealt huge amount of damage and Rishia herself was injured. But the other three combatants didn't miss this chance and finish of the weakened and wounded Seahorse monster named "Palesoria".
Even tho the battle was tough they were able to win without much problem. So they happily stored the monster in a storage artifact given to them by their beloved Elena Onee-sama and left the sea heading for their camp.
...
In the meantime when the both A rank parties were having hard time against the Sea Monsters, the B rank adventurers were having none of that. One of them shouted loudly-
"Back off, you Basterds, it's my turn to attack. Don't break the line you Asshole. Here, take this, my special move {God slaying Slash}."
Another one shouted back-
"Fuu, you little shit call that a special move. Hahaha, behold my special move {Heaven Piercing Thrust}."
A female mage scolded them-
"Shut the hell up with those embarrassing names. And move aside, as I, the Great Witch of Darkness, am going to use my supreme magic to annihilate the ultimate evil."
Yes, they were in way too high spirit. The monster they faced was a turtle of level 255. Even tho the monster was quite strong for some B ranks, they all were trained by Elena and also had a huge number advantage. Not only that but the monster was also super slow with high defence so it was unable to do anything except accepting an one sided beating.
Even tho it has a high defence the pure violence of 7 B rank adventurer teams with 30+ members were too much for it to handle and the monster was dead not long after. The adventurers quickly kept it in the storage artifact and went back to the campsite.
...
Returning to the campsite all the adventurers called for a meeting and decided to target the weaker looking monster first. It was a level 301, five headed sea serpent type monster. It's abilities were kinda similar to the seahorse as it can also regenerate and use poison but didn't have the ability to create and control plants or to resist lightning.
Beating this monster was quite tough specially because, it's regeneration was way stronger than the seahorse. The poison was kept in check as there was more healers in the group this time but it took Marina, Drago, Alessia, Kandra(level 243 axe user) and Makoto(level 243 katana user) to attack all five head at the same time with their strongest attacks to kill this monster off.
The magic users were very useless in this battle as the sea serpent had high magic resistance scales so it resisted almost all types of magic and took minimal damage from them. But they were somehow able to beat this monster even tho they were dead tired.
...
The next S rank monster was a level 303 Sea cucumber monster called "Tantalapse". It had a lot of tentacles and a very slippery substance on the skin. Physical attacks almost did no damage to this monster because the attacks just slid off because of the liquid and it can also resist some magic. But as it was quite weak to fire, and there was a lot of mages. So, some of them focused to clear away all the water and some others fired super strengthened fire magic spell following that cleared path to kill the monster. And that is how the adventurers were able to complete the mission given to them by Elena with flying colours.
After that they all returned to the campsite in very cheery mood. Some of them started to make ruckus and started drinking booze. Some just entered their soundproof tent to get some rest after those tiring fights. And some actually started honing their skills even further to get even stronger. So yeah, as Elena told them, they all started doing whatever they want to pass the time until Elena returned after clearing the dungeon. They had absolutely no doubt that Elena will be able to clear the dungeon easily.
...
Just as they thought, Elena was too strong even against the dungeon creater, so there was absolutely no chance that this dungeon would give her any trouble. As the adventurers were fighting against the monsters she was actually calmly enjoying the scenery of fourth floor which was actually not scenic at all. It was a swamp and there was also a lot of undead there. The name of this floor was
