Frilian at Elden Ring

This place has been transformed into a monolithic entity. In addition to the original magic guilds, magic knights, and puppets, the Cuckoo Knights have also joined, bringing together almost all of the Lake District's mobile field forces.

Moreover, the magic academy has always been known for its defense, so having their support gives us an extra layer of confidence.

Even so, they were still uneasy, and many of them looked worried, after all, they had just received news that the Southern Army and Wang Cheng's army were engaged in a small-scale firefight on Lienia Avenue.

It's quite a scene; in any case, the claws of two enormous creatures have reached in.

"Everyone, stay alert and strengthen security."

The tense crowd paced around the entire defensive line, watching in all directions, especially the water and the forest. An attack would inevitably have to bypass these two areas, so they had to be defended fiercely.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a ritual bird appeared out of the clouds in the sky, its skeletal form sending chills down one's spine.

What's going on in broad daylight?

Then, in the next moment, they witnessed the silver-haired girl emerge from the bird's back, allowing its claws to hook onto her clothes, hanging her upside down, head down, aiming, the tip of her staff pointing towards the ground. This peculiar posture added an element of eeriness. Why?

In any case, this is a signal of a demigod's all-out offensive, not a title bestowed upon him as a king, but a genuine victory through force to rule over a region.

"Enemy attack, coming from directly above! Everyone prepare!"

It was too late. Then, Frilian's staff unleashed purple magic, enveloping the gate with a hum.

Gravity battle: the magic of ash transformation.

Everyone present felt a sudden loss of weight, as if they were being forcefully pulled into the air by a suction force. It was gravity magic, and its output efficiency was extremely high; with a single strike, it covered the entire defensive line in front of the door, without exception.

They struggled in the air to no avail, like drowning people desperately screaming but unable to resist being captured by the purple magic.

Even a magician skilled in academics wouldn't know that basic gravity could be used in this way. How did she come up with it? Attacking from directly above and then destroying everything in one blow?

The next moment, everyone was devastated to discover that Frilian had deliberately cut off the output.

"Fall."

Rain began to fall from mid-air, and the raindrops were like the guards of the entire defensive line, crashing down. The first person was thrown around, completely disoriented, and as more people fell and piled on top of him, the first person was immediately crushed, his internal organs ruptured.

The cycle repeated itself until the defending forces were completely destroyed, with even the fortifications suffering little damage.

They can actually fight like that!

So that's how you can play?

Frillian's astonishing understanding of magical tactics was a slap in the face to the magic academy's complacency; they had never expected that gravity could be used in this way.

The simplest round of attraction and release caused hundreds of people to fall and become dizzy.

The mage was weak, and this ordeal almost rendered him unable to fight. The warrior, clad in full armor, fared even worse; as he made intimate contact with the ground, the hard armor caused a second impact, severely shaking his internal organs.

The ground was littered with people lying haphazardly, groaning in pain, looking utterly wretched.

They deeply experienced the powerful magic of the demigods, and more importantly, the unfathomable comprehension of the fellow magicians. Ordinary people would never have imagined using gravity magic in this way.

However, some survivors managed to get up and tried to shoot down the enemy in the direction of the dragon-shooting crossbow.

But it didn't work.

Then, to their despair, they discovered that Frilian was concentrating her magic while hanging upside down and the ritual bird of death was flying at high speed.

Loretta's Great Bow!

Despite being a charged attack, the silver-haired girl fired one shot after another, like falling meteors. Her firing rate, accuracy, and destructive power were all impeccable, easily destroying large weapons.

How was it aimed in this situation?

Frillie's display of top-tier warrior skills was equally terrifying, enough to handle any combat environment.

Her arrows ceased firing after destroying the weapons, leaving her with virtually no means to threaten the enhanced, super-fast Death Ritual Bird. But everyone knew that the next attack was imminent.

The unadorned yet inherently insulting Demi-human Queen's Staff shone brightly.

Pyroxene ice cubes.

An attack imbued with intense frost swept across an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius; the range of this magic attack stretched out in a horizontal line, freezing the guards stationed within it.

And so, hundreds more statues filled the area around the academy.

Because Frilian wasn't there to slaughter, and humans are different from monsters, she held back a bit and was able to dissipate her fighting power without any problem. That's why she needed to personally lead the attack; sending a large army would easily result in mutual destruction and huge losses for both sides.

The surviving commander of the Cuckoo Knights barely managed to get up. He looked around and found that all he could see were ice sculptures, making him completely useless.

"You're all a bunch of useless trash!"

There was no time to complain. He watched as the ritual bird released its claws, and then the silver-haired girl floated down and stood steadily in front of the door.

Instead of heading directly to the sealed gate, they chose to proceed openly and honestly, symbolizing absolute conquest.

"I've heard of you; one of the few who are certain to be killed."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Cuckoo Knights felt a chill run down his spine. He gripped his longsword tightly and immediately activated his Endurance Technique. He had to withstand this initial onslaught and wait for more survivors to recover before engaging in further combat…

Click!

The suddenly lengthened Kalia Swift Sword pierced through his armor, striking his heart with unerring accuracy, killing him instantly. He froze, black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his pupils dilating as he collapsed.

He couldn't understand why the enemy's magic was so fast, even until his death.

The few people around who had just gotten up were immediately shocked. It was terrifying. The power that Frilian was showing at this moment was not due to any special bloodline or talent, but purely because of her solid and unfathomable basic skills. Even the simplest magic was infinitely varied and not to be underestimated.

No wonder he is the most famous magic collector; he doesn't just collect them, but integrates and understands them.

"Don't even think about going there."

"He's just a barbaric mage from out of town."

Frilian easily subdued these struggling targets with a few moves of Radiant Stone magic, knocking them all unconscious.

It's not too late to deal with it once we've taken control of the magic academy and there's still resistance. Anyway, we've already used the same approach once in Stoneville City.

Looking at the ritual bird of death in the sky, she instructed, "I am about to enter the academy. Have the city of Stoneville send an army to take over, secure a favorable position, and set off upon receiving the message."

Upon hearing this, it quickly changed direction and sped off towards its destination.

The ashes enhanced by soul magic possess greater intelligence and superior overall strength, making them perfectly capable of fulfilling their duties. As originally planned, a troop was already on standby within the city, and Professor Seren would also arrive together.

Everything is ready.

Frillie released a wave of magical perception and discovered that some people were simply lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and some guards at the main gate had also chosen to go deeper into the defense.

In their view, the attacking demigod possessed enough firepower to destroy a city, and they could not confront him head-on.

Ultimately, the academy isn't a military organization; it specializes in academics. While mages naturally possess some combat abilities, they are ultimately no match for a regular army, and in crucial moments, they often rely on forces like the Cuckoo Knights.

Now that the Knights Commander is dead, their morale has naturally declined.

However, just to be on the safe side, she still released a few pure magical shocks to make sure these guys were knocked unconscious before she came to the door.

The seal dissipated the instant the radiant stone key touched it, without destroying the structure. Instead, it opened an entrance in its broken form... A good design, worthy of reference as a sealing magic.

Frilian stepped inside.

As far as the eye can see, there is a cluster of pointed castles, antique and solemn.

If Stoneville City feels like a super fortress standing firm in the storm, exuding an oppressive aura, then the Academy is mysterious and tranquil, inspiring contemplation.

She enjoys this unique research environment.

"We should plan a route immediately after activating the blessing point and search every corner of the academy for treasures..."

"wrong."

Knowing that her partner was prone to getting engrossed in exploration, Melina immediately appeared and said, "The key is to quickly suppress the academy's resistance. Anyway, once you control it, you can still get those collectibles, and you won't have any other choice."

Whizzing!

The incoming meteor shower covered the spot where the silver-haired girl stood, this round of firepower inflicted most of the mage group's magic power, the sound reverberating in all directions.

However, they discovered that a ripple easily deflected the magic.

With her growing proficiency in the Topus field, Frilian can seamlessly switch between active and passive approaches, relying on the field and the light barrier, both of which have a rebound effect, as well as countless other defensive measures.

Dealing with this level is quite simple.

"It would be quite troublesome if I kept calling in by myself, so let's speed things up."

The summoning bell rang crisply, and a dozen or so ash-based combat units appeared.

Anyone who has ever seen Frillie's army of ashes would be shocked by its completely different behavior:

The weakest wolf pack, the zombie nobles, had grown more than twice their size, even more robust, exuding a powerful aura of oppression. Weren't those piercing eyes a manifestation of their souls? How could this be? It was practically a metamorphosis.

Unlike the necromancy found on the borderlands, it's more like a completely new form, resembling the Death Guard knights under the legendary Death Prince.

Moreover, the summoning continues.

Actually, Frillian had been thinking about creating temporary ashes for a while, and now it's the perfect time.

Summon the lobster soldiers!

109

Chapter 109 Broom Star and Dog with Sword.

The mages besieging the gate widened their eyes, some even removing their hoods for a closer look:

The ashes turned into a giant lobster, definitely a species from Lake Lienia, and it's been enhanced—how is that possible!

Damn.

Judging from its hazy form, it belongs to the necromancer class, but it's a different story in the hands of a soul mage, because the other warriors summoned by Frilian are clearly much stronger, which is not good.

The next moment, the lobster used its signature water gun.

A beam of water shot out precisely at the mage in the distance, and didn't forget to sweep around and knock down even more people. It was clearly a greatly enhanced being, a world of difference.

"Get out of the way."

"The Legion of Bones is charging up. Defend, retreat to the depths of the corridor."

At the same time, they discovered that the silver-haired girl had used her staff to become invisible, vanishing into thin air with perfect control over her magic, leaving no trace. She had escaped after all; that cunning fellow.

In reality, everyone was on tenterhooks, because if a demigod chose to fight to the end, he would most likely lose his life.

However, they soon realized they had been too happy.
