Frilian at Elden Ring

It seems that Frilian and the Red Wolf of Radagan have officially clashed, and it's quite fierce. Neither side shows any intention of compromising, as it represents a clash between two powerful forces in a sense.

The mages withdrew from the floors where the battle was taking place.

Even those who had been guarding the inner courtyard all gave way, because they had heeded the advice of their colleagues:

There's no need to fight to the death. Just observe how things develop, like the nobles of Stoneville. Right now, we should especially preserve our strength as leverage for allying with them. We can't possibly sacrifice ourselves for the ambitions of some fanatics in the academy.

slipped.

Rather, the current situation is even worse than in Stoneville, because back then at least there was Greg, a legitimate member of the Golden Clan, to choose from, and he had influence.

So what is the academy like now? It's filled with betrayal, infighting, and intrigue.

If you can't demonstrate a united and organized spirit, then stay away.

Meanwhile, the Legion of Bones seemed to sense their master's fierce battle and became even more determined. They rampaged from the academy gate to the middle section, eager to join forces and wreak havoc on the academy. Of course, the guards who were defeated along the way died in vain.

"Retreat quickly."

"Go to other lines of defense; we can't hold this position."

"A puppet at the front has issued a reconnaissance report: troops have been dispatched from the direction of Stoneville City. The first wave consists of air units of dragons and storm eagles."

"Damn it, the dragon-shooting crossbows have all been destroyed by the ashes. We'll have to go to the cover. Let's go."

The constant stream of bad news caused the morale of the academy side to plummet, leaving them with no will to fight and causing them to flee the battlefield.

If you get caught up in it, you won't even know how you died, so it's best to keep a safe distance. For example, don't care about any academy centers; try to stay on the periphery. They're not playing with you anymore; saving your life is the priority.

the other side.

Deep within the academy's tower, a series of vibrations stirred up dust.

The knights stood ready, prepared to deal with any enemy, even a demigod, not to mention they had powerful heroes to rely on.

Leading the group was none other than the Kalia Knight Mugram, a master of both swordsmanship and Kalia magic, undefeated in battle and renowned for his illustrious achievements. Even the academic mages who controlled the various facilities were wary of his power, and given the Queen's special status, they simply allowed this attic to remain independent.

Normally, the two sides keep to themselves, but today is different; the academy is in imminent danger.

"Perhaps we should take the initiative."

Mugram ordered his men, "Make preparations. Red Wolf is no match for Frilian."

"Your Excellency, it is valued by His Majesty Radagan, so it should not lose."

"It depends on who our opponent is. That newly crowned Fragment King is very powerful; she's just using this as a tool to hone her magic. We need to join forces to have any chance of defeating her."

Mugram gazed into the distance.

Sword flashes poured from the direction of the academy's discussion room, brilliance shone, and the rumbling explosions continued unabated.

A closer look reveals that Red Wolf's movements are slowing down, a sign of accumulating injuries. Meanwhile, Frilian maintains control of the battle's rhythm, switching between various spells with dazzling speed and precision, gradually gaining proficiency—and this is only from the perspective of a stargazer.

Therefore, she needs to drink elixirs to replenish her magic power, giving Red Wolf a chance to catch her breath. In fact, it would be more dangerous for her to use warrior techniques.

"Only those with warrior and magical abilities like me and Red Wolf can contend with it."

Mugram was prepared to sacrifice himself, willing to do anything to protect the Full Moon Queen, not only for the honor of a knight, but also to maintain the relationship between the Kalia royal family and the Golden Family, which held special significance...

call!

A gust of wind brought a blue projection that sat beside the railing.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

No one would mistake Lani's appearance; at least her soul aura was genuine. Some people had even seen the Moon Princess as a child and naturally recognized the heir at a glance.

"Don't worry, Sir Mugram, Frilian has no ill intentions towards Mother and will not harm her."

"Calling him by his first name... the rumors are true, you've had contact."

“Yes, the academy should be returned to the hands of true magicians, and the Kalia royal family cannot continue to allow usurpers to run rampant. Many things are changing rapidly, which I think is beneficial.”

"So that's it."

The two immediately understood each other's meaning: Queen Full Moon would be fine. As for Red Wolf, he was, after all, Radagan's spy, which was inconvenient, especially since Frilian, being a queen herself, would not tolerate the existence of another queen's confidant.

Eliminating the spies planted by the Golden Dynasty, whether intentional or unintentional, represents Lani's attitude towards her father.

Mugram couldn't voice more of his speculations, but he still asked:

"Won't a battle break out here?"

Lani glanced deeply at the Great Archives where the Queen was and murmured, "Not necessarily. Mother is currently closed off. She won't be able to be called back without a fight, and she can't see the Great Rune."

"Therefore, a battle between demigod mages will take place atop the tower."

Upon hearing Lani's warning, the atmosphere among the many Kalia knights immediately became tense.

Magicians are already prone to causing large-scale destruction, so how much would two demigods wreak havoc? It's unimaginable.

Whether it's the currently adept Frilian or the former genius stargazing girl Renara, both are among the top in the border region, and their all-out clash would be powerful enough to overturn the attic area.

Mugram said with concern:

“Your Highness, in His Majesty’s current state, even if the barrier sealing him is broken, there will be no positive reaction; he will be like an empty shell.”

Lani glanced at the attic door with a regretful expression.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her if necessary. I'm just worried that the trigger spell I set up to protect Mother might activate and create an illusionary space, which would then be controlled by a wisp of my will to make the Queen fight in her full glory... Because I've taken a lot of countermeasures beforehand, it won't be easy to dispel it. I need to go back to the mage tower to make some remote adjustments."

"Wouldn't that make it easier to start a war with Frilian?"

"She won't mind."

The blue-haired girl smiled sweetly: "Given her personality, she might even consider sparring with the Queen as a form of compensation for the collaboration."

"What a special person."

"That being said, I want to avoid friction. Even if Frilian likes it, we need to prevent the aftermath of the battle from spreading. We will control the situation."

Actually, Lani also wanted to use this opportunity to see what her mother's state was. In the past, she might have triggered some contingency plans when she was alone, but having an ally present made her feel much more at ease.

No matter how you look at it, Queen Full Moon's mental illness is problematic.

The conversation left Mugram stunned. He came to believe that birds of a feather flock together, and it turned out that Frilian and His Highness did indeed share common ground; they were both unconventional magicians.

and many more!

Doesn't that mean three demigod-level mages might be planning something big? That's going to be quite a spectacle.

"However, there is indeed no better time than now. We should have Her Majesty the Queen lift the barrier now, so that we can at least communicate with the outside world and protect ourselves. In addition, if there is a mastermind behind this, our current deployment is enough to give him a hard time."

The Knights of Caria are ready to go.

"The dark hand certainly exists, but it's uncertain whether it can manipulate the game. The border areas are too desolate these days."

Lani, who had observed the situation for many years, had a general idea of ​​what was going on and was not nervous.

She gazed at the distant entrance to the college.

The Legion of Bones had essentially dismantled the outer defenses, sweeping away everything in its path. The cowardly mages had already made their escape, leaving the area wide open.

It turns out that the summoning bell I gave away has such a wonderful use. No, to be precise, only those with strong souls can unleash its true power, and even create a powerful army of the undead.

boom!

Suddenly, a blue beam of light ripped through the sky, forcefully sending the massive red wolf flying. It landed in an arc in the high-rise courtyard, crashing through a large section of paving stones and sending rubble flying.

It was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and the ground was stained red, yet it still insisted on getting up.

Because the enemy will never give you a chance to catch your breath.

One after another, the broom stars appeared. Frilian emerged from the mist, casting spells while maintaining a stealthy, unwavering pace, remaining cautious and meticulous even at the very last moment.

"I heard you've been following Radagan for a while. Have you heard anything about him? Is he really dead as the rumors say?"

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Red Wolf's eyes, but his face showed refusal, refusing to reveal any information.

"It seems you don't know."

"Roar."

Her response was a fierce roar, a vow to fight to the end.

"It reminds me of a wolf named Schiff, who sometimes had to respond to loyalty with his death..."

As she spoke, Frilian took out the Greatsword Skull.

If the other side were willing to submit, they could easily shake hands and make peace, and even stop inquiring about Radagan's secrets. But the resolute Red Wolf was prepared to sacrifice himself; further hesitation would only insult a warrior. Let's give him an ending.

We need to hurry, because Lani's presence has surfaced in my magical perception; she's here to fulfill her cooperation.

The next moment, starlight shone around Red Wolf, revealing the Radiant Sword Array, the Radiant Stone Meteor, and the Red Blade in his mouth. Despite being severely injured, he seemed to have returned to his peak condition.

A desperate strike.

The body charged forward along with the magic, and as expected, the shimmering light was rebounded by the ripple force field, blocking every single one. But the next moment, its body suddenly crashed into the force field, trying to avoid being suppressed and change direction.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Red Blade swept across the opponent in one go, and the opponent chose to take the hit head-on.

With a crisp clang, the parrying technique transmitted a strong recoil, causing Red Wolf, whose momentum was waning, to momentarily halt his movements.

hateful!

Immediately afterwards, the greatsword pierced through his abdomen, and then he kicked the wound, pulling it out forcefully, drawing blood, and tearing away bones and flesh along with it.

A sudden chill enveloped the red wolf, and it collapsed, utterly exhausted. Its massive body could no longer leap. It was content; its only regret was that it still hadn't seen its master, and didn't know how he was doing…

The red wolf's wide pupils lost their color.

In its final moments, it stared at the majestic golden tree, for that was the direction Radagan had gone.

Frillie put down her weapon and looked in that direction as well, but ultimately didn't get any information.

"Hey, what are you guys doing hiding there?"

Her gaze locked onto the trembling mage behind the ruins, and she asked tentatively, "War or surrender?"

"I surrender."

The terrified magic professors raised their hands, their faces ashen and utterly demoralized. Even the powerful pawns left behind by the second King of Elden had fallen; were they really expected to fight to the death?

From beginning to end, the magic academy has always been a arena for competition; why be so stubborn?

The consequence of stubbornness is what happened to Red Wolf. He could have survived as a rare and exceptional being, but it's a pity.

“We will obey Your Majesty; you will be the king of Lake Lienia.”
