Several sci-fi weapons that was surrounding the man started bombarding Elena as the starting signal of the battle. Each projectile that came toward her were extremely powerful and had the power to kill her. Dying once would not be a problem as she found that these projectiles did not have the ability to stop resurrection but were strictly meant for penetration power.
But if Elena died even once, the resurrection would take some time. That would be a major gap and her opponent would be able to exploit it. So Elena was sure that if she died even once, the flow of the battle would completely go away from her hands and she would be in a lot of danger.
So the best thing that Elena could do in a situation like this was to block the projectiles and to destroy them. Just dodging was not enough as there was a high possibility that these projectiles would be able to change direction and came toward her again.
There was another thing that was worrying Elena. That was the legendary world behind her. Legendary worlds were very powerful and destroying them was not easy. But Elena was sure that if she and this man started to fight in earnest, then just the aftershock of their battle might destroy the world. So before she could start the battle with all her might against this mighty foe, she needed to do something in order to secure the safety of this world.
That was why, at the same time when her opponent activated a long ranged bombardment on her, Elena did nothing to protect herself and instead used a skill from her Eternal Guardian occupation. This skills name was "Guardian's Determination". As for what this skill did, it linked the user of the skill with the thing or individual the user wanted to protect. In the linked state, the protected individual or item would enter an intangible state and would became invincible for as long as this skill was activated and the user of the skill was alive.
So with the activation of Guardian's Determination, Elena made sure that as long as she was alive, the world behind her would be safe. So this man could now only destroy the world after turning Elena into a corpse. Seeing this, the smile that this man had became even ferocious and he started advancing toward Elena with his melee weapons while the other weapons continued their bombardment.
As for how Elena was defending herself from the saturation attack, her swords were doing the job. She was controlling all the swords with her mind while performing various transcendental sword arts with it. When the projectiles and sword arts clashed, both of them destroyed one another and cancelled each other out.
Elena had also tried to use various concepts like Space, Time, Fate and more to stop the projectiles. She tried to banish them with space concept magic, tried to trap them in an eternal loop with time concept magic and even tried to changed herself from being the target of the projectile with the fate concept magjc. But all of those methods failed.
It looked like even amongst super high level powerhouses, this man especialised against people who mostly used the concept magics as their main weapon. All his attacks were super effective in facing the concept magjc. With just this first exchange, Elena immediately realised that with her low power level, the concept magjc she could use would be useless in this fight. So she would need to depend on her trusty warrior skills in this battle.
Controlling swords from far was fine and dandy but she would only be able to utilise her true strength by wielding the sword with her own hands. So she held one of the strongest of the 365 swords and went to clash with the man who came at her with a large axe.
Elena first tried to understand the strength and the skill of her opponent with a probing move but that turned out to be a mistake. Even though Elena managed to block the attack, with just the rebound of the force, she lost more than a million of her HP. But obviously the man would not just attack once or twice, instead he started to continuously land blows after blows on Elena.
Even with her high HP amount and HP regeneration speed, Elena would only be able to withstand a dozens of such attack. Even continuously healing herself with creation concept magjc would extend her life for a little bit more. But that would not be enough to give Elena any winning chance in this battle.
Elena immediately understood that against an opponent this overwhelmingly stronger than her, she had no ways to probe or to hold back. She immediately decided tn go all out as well. First and foremost, Elena was a hero and savior. So to show her full strength, she needed to have something to protect other than her own life. In this situation, she was trying to protect the world behind her, so this condition was met.
Elena also needed to be in a difficult situation and her life should be in danger. For that the opponent she was facing needed to stronger than her. That was Elena's nature and against a level 9000 opponent, this condition was also met.
Finally, she needed to have a determined will that was not fearful or unconfident. And currently, even when the opponent standing against her was overwhelming stronger than her, Elena had not lost her will to fight. So the third and the final condition was also met.
When all the conditions were in right order, Elena was able to use a special move that was responsible for her first step in the transcendental realm as a warrior. Obviously as a swordwomen at heart, the sword was also the weapon that she needed for this move. This move was the transcendental sword art that Elena had developed while using all her experience as the savior to the fullest. The name of this move was -
[A Saviour's Heart: Last Stand At the World's End]
This was a move that allowed Elena to utilise all her abilities through the swings of her sword. It was also an all or nothing attack. When she used this technique, either she would win the battle or she would die trying. There was no other option in between.
As soon as Elena used this move, the tide of the battle changed. For the first time in this fight, the large man was pushed back. It was just a slight pushback and the man was still in an overwhelmingly advantageous position but still it was enough to shock the man.
After clashing with Elena, this man realised that she was way weaker than him in terms of stats and it was also clear that she had not lived for long. According to his judgement, this lady was at most in the 8000 in terms of levels and had lived for less than one million years which was almost nothing in his eyes. So he was impressed that she was able to last a little bit against him but at the same time, he did not have any doubt about his eventual easy victory.
That was why he was extremely surprised when Elena started to recover from her disadvantageous position. This was almost unbelievable. But seeing this also pushed the man to get serious and to give his 120 percent in this battle.
