As soon as the little girl attacked her, Elena used a barrier spell to defend herself. But to Elena's surprise again, the lightning katana actually managed to cut through the barrier after stopping for just a moment.

But still, with the blade getting obstructed for a moment, Elena was able to easily dodge it. After that she analysed the katana and soon found out the reason why her almost unbreakable barrier failed this time.

This sword of lightning was not a simple weapon but a divine one. Not only that but it was a top grade divine weapons. That was not all. This little girl also has two extremely unique abilities called "Divine Blessed" and "Limit Unleashed".

With the combination of these two skills and the true power of the sword, this girl was able to release an attack that was infinitely close to the realm of the gods. That meant, an attack that could even endanger a level 699 powerhouse. And the sword was also created by a high goddess whose level was above 900, so even if the sword could not kill a level 700 plus god, it was more than capable enough to injure one.

As currently Elena was limiting herself to be at around level 400, it made sense that this attack was able to break through her barrier. This made Elena excited and she got ready for a blood pumping battle. But then she noticed that her opponent had weaken slightly after unleashing that full powered strike.

But still, she attacked Elena again and this time, Elena fought back. She also took out a katana like sword and started fighting. They used their sword art and exchanged blows again and again. After exchanging about hundred strikes, the little girl fell on the ground, unconscious. It looked like maintaining the extra powerful mode with the help of the divine sword was extremely tiring for her and she had reached her limit.

Elena also put her sword back and started to cast a few simple healing magic on the girl. If she had access to more of her skills, she could have healed her right away. But as she now only have limited amount of skills, she started waiting for the girl to naturally wake up but from what she observed, it looked like this little girl was not going to wake up anything soon.

But just as she sat down to wait, the world froze once again. This time Elena had not done anything planned to interfere with the trial, so Elena was curious about why this was happening again. Soon the figure of an man with rare slim body appeared before her. He looked extremely young but he was standing in such a way that made him to look like a very old man.

Looking at the man, Elena was able to see the astonishment in his eyes. The elder did not keep Elena in the dark and said -

"Miss, how did you managed to survive an attack that could kill anyone who was below the level of a god ?"

Hearing the question, Elena understood why the elder was astonished. The first attack that the little girl had used was supposed to kill her. But Elena had miraculously managed to survive that sure kill attack which made the old man who had prepared this trial to be dumbfounded.

Elena smiled a little and said that she was just lucky. Her barrier had managed to stop the attack for a moment, so she was able to use that opportunity to dodge out of the way. It was mostly her luck that allowed her to be alive.

When Elena told the man this story, he did not believe any of this. He even started to suspect that Elena was not even a demigod but a real god who was playing a game with them by acting like a demigod. But even though this was something that the elder though in his heart, he did not say anything to Elena and instead started to explain how the trial was supposed to go.

Elena was supposed to die from this attack and then revive immediately with the help of the barrier that was here. After reviving, she would get killed again and again. The little girl who was killing her was actually under a status effect and was going berserk.

But as she was a kind of girl in her heart, after killing someone again and again, in her sadness and distress, she would be able to break the berserk state with her willpower. And then, a fox spirit who was responsible for controlling her would have came out after getting injured because of the little girl breaking the status effect.

That fox would have been a level 480 powerhouse after getting injured. Way weaker than the little girl who was killing Elena again and again. So by defeating the fox, Elena would have cleared the trial. The little girl would have thanked Elena for killing the evil fox spirit controlling her by giving her the fifth ring.

If Elena was unable to get her courage after getting killed so many times in a row, she would have failed the trial. It was a very straight forward trial that also provided the participants with a very unique experience of actual death. It was a very well thought out idea.

But the elder had not expected that Elena would be such an anomaly. Let alone dying, she actually ended up defeating the little girl who was actually almost as strong as a god and was supposed to be invincible in the demigod rank. So while fighting her, the evil fox spirit went into overdrive in frustration and perished. The little girl's soul was also damage and she went into a coma. She would only wake up after resting for at least a year or so.

With Elena's unexpected strength, the trial that he had prepared had completely derailed. That was why there was no way but for him to interfere. He told Elena with a sigh that she had passed the trial that he created. Then he handed her a ring with a purple gem.

This ring was something that the little girl was supposed to give Elena in gratitude. But now that she was not going to wake up anytime soon, the elder decided to give it to her own his own. Elena was also supposed to know about her next destination from the little girl but as that was not possible anymore, he also told Elena about that.

A few kilometres away from this island, there existed a group of underwater volcanoes. That was the next spot that she needed to visit. After telling Elena this much in a single breath, the elder was about to go away and sulk in private but Elena stopped him. Then she asked if this island was an actual location of the Valhalla or not.

Hearing the question, the elder told Elena that it was a real location called the Inazuyan Archipelago and the island that Elena visited was just one of many. After telling her that, the elder finally managed to run away.

After he was gone, Elena found herself standing on top of the sea. The whole island had completely disappeared. Seeing this, Elena again smiled slightly and started walking toward the location where the underwater volcanoes were located.
