It took a little longer for the ladies to return back to the village. That was because Elena suddenly told them to wait for some in the middle of the desert and she went somewhere without telling the ladies about her destination. Then when she came back, she had an extremely large snake with her. And from what the girls were able to observe, that snake was definitely a S rank one.

This was going to be a little extra gift from Elena to the girls. She had stayed in this village for quite some time and she was planning to stay here a little bit longer but she was going to leave in the near future. So she was planning to have a lot of fun for the next few days with the ladies.

After they reached the village and the snake was brought out, everyone cheered happily. This monster was a famous one in the desert called a Boasia. It was a powerful S rank monster which had taken quite a few lives. It was also supposed to be extremely tasty and nutritious. So for the B and the A rank ladies it was very useful.

So all of them started to have a lot of fun while eating the meat of this S rank snake monster and drinking some specially strong alcohol that Elena took out. Elena was also with them having fun and she had not noticed that she was wearing quite revealing clothing. She was definitely getting used to it.

When it was almost midnight, Elena was eating some fried meat and veggies alone at one of the tables. At that time, all three of the S rankers suddenly came to talk with her. They had brought some food with them and they started talking while eating them together.

...

This time Melline, Viola and Sanya had come here with a request for Elena and after living in this village for some time she had a good idea about what they were going to ask. And just as she expected, her request was exactly about the matter that she was thinking about.

There were more than 50 A rankers in this village but there was a huge power difference between them. That was normal as both a level 250 and a level 299 would be called A rankers but their strength would be vastly different.

Among the A rankers of this village, there was a tournament happening every 5 years or so to decide who was the strongest of this village among the A rakers. From that tournament 10 ladies would get special titles and would be called Valkyries.

Among these Valkyries, the person who was currently at the first rank was called Tomoe. She had reached level 299 more than 10 years ago but she had not crossed the line of being a S ranker. That was not because she was incapable of reaching the S rank but because she had intentionally stopped herself from reaching that rank.

She was actually born alongside Sanya from the divine pool so they were like siblings and were from the youngest members of this village. Among that batch, these two were extremely talented and were like rivals. Tomoe was the first one to reach level 299 and she also had the record of reaching the peak of A rank in the shortest possible time in this village.

But after that, she stopped leveling up. Not only that, Tomoe started to intentionally stop herself from reaching the S rank. Why ? The reason was actually very simple. It was because of an obsession that Tomoe had.

Tomoe was a sword fanatic. She had loved the sword since she was young and that was the only weapon she had used from the start to the finish. And it was not just any sword but a curved katana.

In various battles, she had managed to develop a fighting style suited only for herself. This was a sword art she had developed all by herself without any help from anyone else. Currently there was no one in this village who was better at using a sword than Tomoe.

So Tomoe wanted to perfect her sword art before reaching the S rank which was a brand new level of power. But she never really felt like she was able to perfect it. So it became an obsession for her.

Later her rival Sanya was able to reach the S ranks before her even though she had reached the peak of the A rank a long time ago. But Tomoe did not care about all that and just continued swinging her sword to somehow reach her goal.

She was overwhelmingly stronger for an A ranker and was capable of fighting against even a just advanced S ranker. But still this situation was very sad for all the members of this village as Tomoe was not really someone whose journey should stop at the A ranks. She was way better than that.

That was the reason why Melline, Viola and Sanya had come here to ask Elena to train Tomoe. Elena was a master of sword and so they were hoping that she would be able to help Tomoe in some way to fulfil her goal.

Hearing their request Elena smiled slightly and told the girls that she was already planning to do something about Tomoe. She was a very talented girl and Elena also liked her dedication. So she was planning to help her out before leaving this village. But now with the request from these ladies, she decided to start early with her planning.

...

The sacred village was located in this part of the desert for a special reason. This area had a secret realm where a lot of powerful monsters were trapped. There was once a huge outbreak of monsters in the desert and one of the demigod rank ancestors of the village created this secret realm to trap those monsters alongside the source of that outbreak.

So the ladies of the village needed to enter the secret realm once in a while to clean the monsters of that secret realm. As if the numbers of the monsters increased by a lot then there was a chance that the seal might be broken.

There were three floors in this secret realm. The first floor had only B rank monsters and the second floor had A rank ones. As for the last floor, only S rank monsters were kept there.

So what Elena wanted to do was to enter the third floor of this secret realm with Tomoe following her. Even though Tomoe was very powerful, she did not have the permission to enter the third floor as only S rankers were allowed to step foot there. So for someone like Tomoe the second floor was no challenge at all. That was the reason why Elena was planning to take her to the third floor with a variety of S rank monsters there.

Elena already had a good idea why Tomoe was unable to complete her sword art and she was planning several ways to give her that last push. After she got the permission to take Tomoe to the third floor, she started to make a training plan for her.

It was going to be very interesting.
