Inside the mana dense forest, Beel's group travelled while staying inside a defensive formation. At the edge of the formation, completely armour clad knights were holding the first line of defence. Behind them more knights were ready with their swords and spears. Then at the backline, mages were ready to rain down destruction. Then finally at the centre of the formation, the children were staying with highest degree of safety.
Beel and Elena were also at the centre. Beel was strong enough to hold any of the positions but her powers were most suited to be used from a distance. She did not want any of her subordinates to die, so she was ready to assist any of her subordinates who found themselves in danger.
Not long after entering forest, the first monster attacked them. It was large feline monster with extremely sharp teeth. As for it's power level, it was a level 246 powerhouse, so not even an A rank monster.
For a weak monster like this, Beel did not need to interfere. Her subordinates were able to take care of this monster without breaking a sweat.
The feline monster attacked with simple bites and scratches which were all easily blocked by the shields of the frontliners. After committing to an attack, the feline monster became defenseless for some time. That was enough for the second line to attack the monster with their spears and swords. That was how even without the mages launching a single spell, this B rank monster was defeated in seconds.
In the shallow parts of the forest, most of the monsters were of B rank and they were also individual monsters. But as they weny futher inside the forest, stronger monsters started to show up and they were now in groups of 3 to 7. So the fighters had to take them seriously and had to fight with all their might.
While most of Beel's subordinates were busy fighting, Elena herself was busy analysing the forest. Even though they were still not in the deepest part of the forest, the mana density of this area was almost 5 times higher than a regular place. For that reason, Elena was able to find various valuable herbs growing here. From this it was clear why the city of Atalea was so prosperous.
Such a high mana density was not good for people with limited power level. For that reason, Beel had given her children a few magic item that created a barrier around them and protected them from the extra amount of mana. Elena was also keeping an close eye on the children to make sure they were not in any danger.
Just like that, slowly but surely Beel's group went deeper inside the forest. Soon they encountered their first S rank monster. And it was just not one monster. The S rank monster was a deer with a pack of fifteen more deer monsters of A and B ranks.
Beel was a legendary powerhouse and her family also had seven other S rankers beside her. Among them two had stayed in the city to take care and guard the house and the rest of the five had came out for this expedition.
With those S rankers making their moves, the pack of S rank deer monsters was soon wipped out. Beel again did not have to make a move. But now that they were going even deeper inside the forest, more and more monsters with stronger power level would start to show up. So sonner or later, she would have to make a move.
After that two more S rank monsters showed up and were defeated. But then suddenly a large barrier covered all the people of this group. As the people inside were looking at this barrier with confusion, suddenly a large fireball came down from sky and fell on the barrier. From the colour and intensity of the fire, it was clear that it was extremely hot. Without the barrier protecting them, at least 20 percent of them would have died from this previous attack.
But before the knights could sigh in relief, a large chunk of ice also feel from the sky and was blocked by the barrier just like before. Then without any pause, lightning also fell on the barrier with extremely powerful destructive powers. The powerhouses who were inside the barrier shuddered after seeing these as they were sure that with just these three attacks, other the S rankers and a few super strong A rankers, most of them would have definitely died.
While feeling the chill going through their spine, they all looked at the beautiful golden haired lady standing in the middle of the formation with her extremely sexy perfect figure. She was the one who had erected the barrier to protect all of them.
After all three of the sudden attacks were blocked, nothing else happened. No more attacks came after that and the individuals who were responsible for the attacks also did not show up. Seeing this, Beel greeted her teeth in anger and asked Elena if she could detect the source of those attacks or not.
Elena simply nodded her head and said that almost 20 kilometres away from here, there is a trio of monsters who were responsible for these attacks. But they were not alone and had the support of a special magic item that increased their attack manifestation range. That was why they were able to attack Beel's group from such a long distance.
Monsters had almost no way to get their hands on a magic item if it was not supplied to them by a demon. There was a chance that these monsters had just luckily gotten this magic item after killing a demon who had entered the forest. But Beel had a lot of reasons to believe that to not be the case. She was sure that one of her rivals had given those monsters that item to launch a sneak attack on her group.
Beel calm her mind and requested Elena to lead the way. After those monster targetted her subordinates, she would not feel at ease if she could not wipe them out. Elena nodded her head with a slight smile and led the way.
...
The trio of monsters consisted of a squirrel, a cat and a pigeon monster. The squirrel was a master of fire element, the cat could control ice element and the pigeon was able to manipulate lightning.
After encountering them, Beel went to fight them all alone. This would be the first time when Elena would be able to see Beel fighting with her full strength. So she was looking forward to it. Seeing new fighting styles was always a pleasure for Elena.
As Beel stepped toward the monsters, they all attacked her together. Fireballs, ice chunks and lightning came flying toward her. But several vines filled with thorns appeared out of the ground and blocked all the attacks. Some of the vines were destroyed but the number of the vines was too much and all the destroyed vines were replaced in no time.
But creating vines was not the only thing that Beel was able to do. Several beautiful flowers bloomed on her vines and a peculiar scent released by the flowers filled the air. After some time, all three of the monsters started to feel weak and soon fainted. Then Beel simply just covered them with her vines and sucked them dry. That was how she was able to easily defeat these three S rank monsters.
