Elena did not immediately gave them a definite answer and instead told them that she would make her decision after reaching the Inazuyan Archipelago and seeing the situation there with her own eyes. For the time being, it was time for her to raid the main base of this Red Fang Gang bandit group.

Their lair was located deep in a hidden cave. It was quite a secure place and without knowing the exact location, it was hard for anyone to find. Other than the two S rankers here, that base also had two other S rankers guarding it. But that would not be a problem with Elena and the three S rankers on their side. The angry merchants were also now on Elena's side and wanted to destroy this bandit group completely.

Mark went ahead of the group to scout out the location of the hideout. He was the most suited person for this job. The base was located not too far from here so Mark did not take too much time for this.

He returned after half an hour and then told the group that he had managed to find a safe way that went close to the cave. The S rank warriors and two members of his party did not went to the cave and instead stayed with the merchants to guard them. Everyone else joined Elena to raid the bandits.

...

Mark led their way and with his expert guidance, everyone managed to reach close to the cave without any problem. After that Ruby started casting a grand spell. This spell was called "Water elemental summoning". It summoned two slime like water elemental beings who were extremely useful for defense and had decently powerful offensive capabilities.

Both of these elemental beings were also S rank powerhouses so they increased the chance of survival for the members of the party by a large margin. That was especially true for the A rank of powerhouses. With this preparation done, everyone got ready to attack.

But before that, Elena used a powerful buff on all the people. As she had the support of so many people, she did not feel like she needed to work super hard all by herself. Feeling how insanely strong this buff was, everyone was surprised for a moment but soon their confidence increased by a large margin.

Mark was the first to enter the cave, followed by Elena and then everyone else. After going a little bit through the narrow cave path, everyone found themselves in a large open area.

The inside of the cave was much larger than anyone had expected and the bandits had created a whole village here. There were a few other holes too and they could see the bandits coming in and out of them.

The cave hole that Elena and the other adventurers had used was a narrow one that was mainly there to be used as an emergency exit. So in regular times, this place did not have anyone guarding it.

After coming out of the cave hole, everyone hid behind a large rock and Elena cast a wide area concealment spell to hide their presence. Then Mark again left the area of concealment to do a bit more scouting. This time he was out for even shorter amount of time and returned after only a few minutes had passed. This base was not very heavily guarded and the bandits here were too relaxed. This fact made his job incredibly easy.

According to him, the captives had not lied and there really was only two other S rankers here. He had not gotten too close to them in fear of revealing himself but he at least had managed to pinpoint their current location.

Elena decided to take out one of the S rankers and the husband and wife duo decided to take care of the other one. As for the A rank adventurers with them, that decided to join Elena to assist her.

...

As Elena went toward the location of one of the S rankers, she was able to sense a large amount of mana that this person was giving off. Elena had actually chosen this person to make sure that the others would not be in any danger. This man whom she was targetting was without a doubt the strongest person present among the bandits.

He was a level 389 powerhouse and he was also a summoner. So facing him was equivalent of facing a team of more than one S rankers as he had several summons whose levels were above 300. So against him, even Mark and Ruby together had less than 20 percent chance of staying alive, which Elena did not want at all.

Elena did not try to hide her presence that much, so when she got closer to the source of the mana, the owner of the large mana noticed her. He was inside a small house and he came out of it after sensing Elena.

He was a short old man who looked to be over a hundred years old. Obviously as a demon, he had lived for way more than just 100 years. So even in the standard of a demon he was extremely old.

Seeing Elena and the group, he got a serious expression on his face. Elena was not really revealing her aura as a Demigod but as this old man was unable to read her, it was not hard for him to judge that Elena was a demigod rank powerhouse as only they could hid from his senses.

So from the very beginning, he was sure that he had no chance of winning. So what he wanted was to somehow restrict Elena for some time while he would try to get away from here. That was the best he was able to do with his limited powers.

So he did not waste his time and took action. Fourteen large magic circles appeared around him and from each of the magic circle a S rank summon came out. Seeing this, colour drained from all the A rank adventurers who were accompanying Elena. Seeing the sudden appearance of fourteen S rank monsters and beasts was really traumatic for them.

Among the fourteen summons, twelve of them attacked Elena. As for the remaining two, one stayed close to the old man. This summon looked like a giant glass shield and it most probably had the duty to protect the old man. And the other summin was a small bird which was only level 301, weakest among all his S rank summons.

But underestimating this bird would be a big mistake. It had a very high affinity for space and even with its low levels, it was able to teleport for very long distances. So it looked like this bird was the trump card for this old man to get out of this situation alive.

Seeing this, Elena just gave a haughty smile to the man and cast a spell called "Dimensional Lock". Immediately the space of the area became more solid and the spatial bird was unable to break through it anymore. Noticing this, the face of the old man turned white and he lost all hope. Then to break the already broken man even more, Elena cast another spell called "Chaos Burst" and destroyed eleven of his summons with just this single move.

The remaining summon that Elena had not destroyed started to fight with the A rank adventurers. They themselves had experience of fighting against other S rank powerhouses and had the support of two S rank water elementals. So they were in no threat of dying and Elena allowed them to experience a tough battle against a S rank opponent.

While they were busy fighting, Elena tied up the broken hearted old man easily as he was not resisting at all anymore.

That was how, Elena's battle came to a successful end.

...

As for the couple's side, they also did not have a hard time with their battle. The S rank that they were targetting was also a scout type and was not even that strong. Even Mark alone would have been able to defeat him. So with his wife Ruby helping him out, he was able to score a victory quite easily. Elena's buff had also made them stronger, so there was no way he was going to lose.

Just like that, the bandit hideout was completely conquered by Elena and her team.
