Actually Elena was extremely dissatisfied with this mission. She did not use any powers other than what a level 330 runic caster would be able to do. But still this whole mission was extremely easy for her. She did find anyone who was able to pose any challenge to her. Actually it was Elena's own fault.

While she was traveling in the flying ship, she was trying to create a few new methods of fighting with her runic caster job and she came up with a few good ideas. The current strategy that she was using was one such plan that she came up with.

It might look like she was sending the runes to her opponents at high speed but that was not the case. She was actually using a technique that any decent rune user should be able to use. That technique was called "Instantaneous Transmission". This allowed Elena to transfer an already ready rune to anywhere her eyes were able to see.

She had created quite a few powerful runes while she was resting. So now she had quite a large reservoir of runes so she was able to use them without holding anything back. And unexpectedly no one had a countermeasure for this strategy of hers.

Actually countering this was quite easy. One just needed to release a slight amount of mana to cover their surroundings. If that happened then Elena would not be able to use the Instantaneous Transmission technique anymore. But the enemies Elena was facing this time were too inexperienced and no one was able to figure her out. That was the reason why she was able to steamroll through everything just using a single technique.

Elena wanted to try two other techniques out in these operations. If her first technique was countered somehow then she was ready to use the other two techniques. But her first technique was way more effective than what she had expected so she never needed the other two techniques.

...

Elena returned back to the secret base of the knights with all four of them. All of them were extremely excited and happy. The slave trading group that they caught here were a very big target for the knights, so after this they were sure to get big bonus payments and promotions. But in their excitement they did not notice that even though the captured slave traders were looking sad, fearful and angry, they were not worried. And the only person they were fearful of was Elena. The knights were not given any importance from them.

After reaching the secret base, which was a tavern, the owner of the tavern immediately exclaimed after seeing the slave traders. He was a former retired royal knight and he still had more influence with the royal knights than the newcomers like Cremonia and the other knights. Not only that but for elves, age was not really an important matter. So even though he was retired, he was still in his top form and his level was above 400.

Immediately after seeing the captured slave traders he took action, he tried to knock the knights and Elena out. When they were here before, the knights and Elena were having the meeting in a private chamber, so he was not aware of the content of their meeting. If he knew that these youngsters were actually able to find the hidden base of these slave traders, he would have stopped them long ago. Even killing a few and blaming bandits was a possible path.

It was still not too late. If he just attacked these fools now and knocked them out then he could still avoid the blame saving these slave traders. Thinking about the person who was behind these traders, he increased his speed to release the traders as soon as possible.

But suddenly a few runes appeared before him. He was caught off guard but was still able to throw a quick barrier to protect himself. But while doing so, he was forced to stop his attack too.

After composing himself, he looked at Elena who was responsible for the previous attack with venom in his eyes. Elena also was not in a mood of talking and was quite excited as now she would be able to try her other moves out. She immediately used Instantaneous Transmission and sent a few more explosive runes toward the tavern owner name Harris.

...

While this fighting was happening, the knights were looking at all these with immense surprise. But they were not completely dumb and were able to figure some things out. From the looks of things, it was clear that at least the retired royal knight Harris was supporting the slave traders. a chill ran down their spine after thinking what would have happened if Elena was not with them.

At the same time, the captured slave traders were also extremely surprised. Even though they were a bit fearful, when Elena did not immediately kill them, they were relieved of any worries. They knew what type of big pillars were supporting them from behind and they also knew that a few level 400 plus people were also working with them. So they were very sure of their safety. But they had never expected in their wildest dreams that a level 300 person would be able to exchange blows with a level 400. It was unbelievable.

...

But that unbelievable thing was currently happening in front of them. This male elf named Harris not only had a higher level than the people Elena faced before, but he was way more experienced than them too. So immediately when Elena used her Instantaneous Transmission trick again, Harris was able to deduce the right countermeasures immediately.

He coated his surroundings with a thin layer of mana and now Elena was unable to send her runes close to him. Now that her first technique was completely countered, Elena immediately moved on to her next technique. She started to use runes to block Harris instead of hurting him and at the same time she was using runes to make herself faster and faster. She was also running around the whole room. It looked like, Elena was barely able to keep her life while desperately using her all to keep herself alive.

But that was not the case. All this running was planned and Elena was already done with her preparation for the next technique. Now she just needed to perfect the time of execution of her second planned technique.

Very soon Elena was able to cleverly able to bring Harris exactly where he wanted him to be. Immediately she activated her new technique. A total of 12 runes lit up in the room and created a circle and Harris was currently standing at the middle of the circle while holding his sword. He had mkh noticed at all when Elena drew these runes. A very bad premonition hit him and he tried to move away from the runic magic formation as fast as possible.

But the activation of the formation was faster than his own. He was unable to get out of the runic magic formation in time and was roasted by lightning that suddenly appeared inside the formation. This runic magic formation was called "Grand Chain Thunder Array" and even a level 400 plus like Harris was able to endure it and fainted. Not immediately dying from it actually proved that he was actually quite a powerful person.
