Elena released a little bit of her killing intent. But that was enough to freeze the Mismatched Piece party. In her previous attack Elena didn't completely destroy the undeads instead she just damaged them enough to send them to the undead space every necromancer had. She would not be able to summon those undead for some time but she didn't lose any of her precious soldiers.

Elena didn't release too much of her killing intent so the adventurers were stunned not for long. The first one to break out of his stunned state was the swordsman of the team. He looked like a 27-28 year old man.

After that he instantly attacked Elena. Elena didn't take out a sword to fight him. She dodged all the attacks with minimal movements. The swordsman definitely had quite a lot of experience but in front of Elena it was nothing.

Soon others of the party also came back to their senses. The next one to start attacking Elena was the mage of the party. He looked like the oldest one in the team and was about 45-50 years old. He did insta-cast and multi-cust at the same time and about a dozen fireballs and wind arrows came toward Elena.

...

The swordsman was level 279. He had the highest level in the party. The necromancer girl was level 275. The mage old man had the same level of 275. One of the other members was a male thief or assassin type and had a level of 240. And the last member was a priestess and she was level 233. The team was overall stronger than both the Azure Legion and Five Armaments as there were three A rankers in the party.

So, to fight against them Elena restricted her level to 200. It might be a little bit of a hard work even for Elena to fight against veteran adventurers while mentioning a level gap of almost 80 levels. The main reason behind that would be because she had a limited amount of mana at this level. So she had to use every bit very carefully.

...

Elena also cast the same types of spells with the matching numbers the mage's spells and her spells not only cancelled every single one of his spells but it also carried enough momentum even after that. So the mage then cast an elemental barrier to stop the magic.

The swordsman was also getting nowhere with his attacks so he decisively used a martial art skill, {Rising Sun}. It was an upward slash and just as Elena dodged it, a downward swing followed. It was {Setting Moon}. Setting moon was about 1.5x faster than the rising sun so it was very tricky to dodge but Elena still did it effortlessly.

But he still didn't give and started to use more and more martial arts. He had quite a lot of aura and even Elena had to sometimes use her own aura covered hands to block some of the attacks that she failed to dodge. Elena only had the status of a level 200 right now so it was not possible for her to dodge every single attack from an opponent whose agility was higher than her.

There were even occasional magic spell attacks coming toward her. The mage and the swordsman had a very good teamwork and he was perfectly targeting all the gaps. While three of them were busy in combat the necromancer girl also came back to her senses. Even tho she had lost all her undead and couldn't use them for now she still had her dark elemental spells to support the team. Elena directly used light magic to block most of her spells but that increased her mana consumption even more.

Then, after about 5 minutes from when their battles begin the last two members also came back to their senses. After that the thief joined the swordsman in the frontline to do sneak attacks and the priestess started to cast several buffing spells.

Even tho the name of the group was Mismatched Piece, their teamwork was not mismatched at all. They all had a very good understanding of each other and could support each other by covering their faults. Elena was quite impressed.

But there were still many faults in their fighting style in the eyes of a transcendental person. After five of them came back to their senses, normally Elena should have been suppressed even more but the opposite happened. Elena suddenly raised the intensity of the fight by a notch. She didn't raised her restrictions but just started performing more complex actions.

If the first half of the fight looked like someone fighting against someone of the same power level but had more experience then now it looked like a veteran adventurer handling some rookies. To add insults to their injuries Elena even started to give the advice as to how they could improve more. And the most frustrating thing for them was that each and every one of her advice was spot on and when they followed it the effect was undeniable. They even started feeling gratitude for her.

It was really not her intention to insult them when she gave them the advice. She was actually very fond of this adventurer party and just wanted to improve them a little bit. After about 10 more minutes of fighting the whole Mismatched Piece stopped attacking at the same time.

In just these few minutes, all the members of Mismatched Piece had lost all the hostility toward Elena. They had also lost the little bit of arrogance that they had built up after becoming A ranks and completing all the missions perfectly. They had also gained a lot of things too, especially their combat skills had improved quite a bit. Now they also had a better understanding about each other and their teamwork had also improved a notch.

For all these reasons they felt immense respect toward Elena. Strong people were always respected and Elena was so much stronger than them that they couldn't even see her bottom. Her beauty was also top notch and when they entered the room they actually had to use quite a lot of willpower to not just stare at her.

Now after they stopped fighting they looked at each other's faces for a few moments and then all of them together released their weapons and raised their hands in surrender. They had understood that fighting her was a fool's errand. Seeing them doing that Elena smiled and told them -

"You all don't have to surrender like that. Do you all know why I gave you all some advice ? That was because I quite like you all. Jake, you're a very diligent person and have a very kind heart. Even tho what happened with your sister was enough for you to take a bloody path, you didn't take that path. Your straight forward sword swings are proof of that."

"As for Rizzile, even tho your family left you because you followed your passion, you didn't abandon them. Even tho I think being ruthless is a good thing I still respect your determination."

"Gon, your colleagues betrayed you and in a fit of rage you killed several innocents. That was definitely bad but you are at least doing a good job atoning for that so far."

"Drax, you have come far from your days in the slum. Even tho your situation was bad enough to die you never crossed the bottom line in your heart. That is very respectable in my opinion."

"And Sylvia. Fufu, you're a really kind girl. Just because you didn't want to always take money whenever you healed someone, you left a very profitable company behind. You are always doing your best to help as many as you can. How can I hurt a sweet girl like you ?"
