I had an odd strategy but it worked. I have a friend who has Tigre. I can beat the otherwise impossible-for-my-level quest with this setup:

4 of my most powerful mages: Lv44 Aelle Gloon, Lv 49 Cleora, Lv 27 Shakti, and Lv 21 Elemia.

To make this work I have to use Tigre as friend. That Tigre is level 38.

Because the team has enough firepower, I can auto through every wave except the boss waves. First encounter with Zaren = poison immediately with Tigre, then keep knocking him back with Cleora while she, Tigre and Aelle keep wailing on him. To delay for mana, sometimes I'll have Elemia or Shakti distract him for a few hits but usually I have enough mana.

Second Zaren encounter: poison immediately and keep moving out of the way until he stops trying to shoot. Then proceed with knockback strategy.

Third encounter: same as the first, poison immediately, keep knocking back.

Elemia is nice because she can cure blind if the in-between waves manage to tag one or more of the team with blind.

Using this I can beat Zaren quest even though the average level of my team isn't even close to the enemy level. Maybe try something similar? If you can arrange poison and knockback while surviving the in-between waves, you might be able to conquer this quest without being near the enemy level.
