Frilian at Elden Ring

Thud! The phantom dragon, with its broken body, managed to block the attack.

Its battle-tested body finally fell, but it also created a space for its master to cast spells. At this moment, Renara dodged a shot with her combat instincts and tried to regroup while moving around, and also gave herself protection.

Having failed to catch the enemy in a long-range pursuit, Frillie immediately changed tactics and created ice mist to restrict the enemy as well.

Both sides lived up to their reputation as top-tier mages in combat intuition. After dozens of rounds of fighting, they gradually became familiar with each other's attacks, and their success rate in dodging increased, making it a close and evenly matched contest.

What truly determines victory or defeat is the state of mind.

The Full Moon Queen is currently mostly on the defensive and cannot come up with any effective threatening attacks. After all, a portion of her magic is channeled through Lani's will, and her own body is gradually becoming too tired to continue.

In contrast, the silver-haired girl did suffer several injuries, but recovered much faster.

Just take the medicine.

Moreover, she showed no signs of fatigue and remained enthusiastic. Her unfathomable magical power and combat experience allowed her to maintain a high-threat yet low-consumption strength. The leeway provided by her dual staves established an absolute advantage, and the gap was widening.

In reality, Frilian was more observant than aggressive.

Because once the battle begins, the main focus is on predicting the enemy's combat movements, and besides, the Full Moon Queen cannot be hurt too much.

She is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to break through the equilibrium threshold, but more importantly, she is actively creating one.

hum!

The silver-haired girl used two staffs to continuously release ancient, vengeful spirits of the dead, which relentlessly pursued her, and also carried out soul attacks.

Lena, who had just barely managed to cope, was suddenly thrown into a panic. She was able to block with all her might, but was repeatedly thrown to the other side by the impact, and was unable to steadily output attack magic power for a long time.

No, we must save a full moon spell in case the other party comes to us.

Even when at a disadvantage, she maintained her composure, repeatedly moving around the enemy, and even unexpectedly used the Kalia Greatsword to cut through Frillian's armor.

That's really tough. How can a mage stack such thick armor?

In fact, it is Renara who needs to close the distance now, because it is clear that the silver-haired girl is gradually losing ground and her aggressiveness is decreasing, which seems to present an opportunity.

Let's observe for a while first.

At this moment, magical attacks from both sides filled the illusion space, exchanging blows without yielding an inch. The pool water, which had originally reflected the moonlight, was now stained with multicolored magic. A fierce wind swept through, obscuring vision, and people relied almost entirely on magic to perceive each other.

Even so, there are still many illusions, clones and other techniques to confuse people, making it easy to be deceived.

Their duel was not only about powerful legendary magic, but also about basic battlefield skills, leaving no room for error.

The mage's attack power limits the margin for error, especially since both of them have stacked various amplifications, and a single attack is enough to break through the city wall.

A realm of magic!

The Full Moon Queen, standing in the center of the totem, has her damage output further increased.

Frilian, who had been observing the spell, was slightly taken aback. With the eyesight of a seasoned mage, she could naturally see the general structure. It wasn't profound, but the effect was outstanding, increasing the power by about 30%. She definitely had to learn this in the future, as well as that moon.

Despite the relentless bombardment, she nimbly dodged most of the damage, even employing hound-like footwork.

Queen Full Moon frowned slightly, gradually sensing that the pursuit was becoming less effective.

However, Frilian remained stalemated, as if she wanted to settle the matter with ranged combat, which made her wonder, "Are you not in good shape either?"

The next moment, the Queen transformed into the moon.

Ordinary magic was instantly annihilated by the anti-magic properties, and the surrounding vengeful spirits vanished completely. Frost covered the area, and the magical power of the crescent moon blade fell towards the illusory water, heading towards its target.

Instantly, Frilian unleashed an unprecedented magical barrier, which shattered layer by layer, but also slowed the attack. Letting it continue flying towards her, she then used the "Kalia Returns" move, using the surface of the sphere as leverage, her staff making a crisp sound against the surface.

It was a head-on collision that unleashed the torrents of the soul.

Ping——

Rena's confident attack was blocked, and she paused slightly, having just unleashed the Moon in the distance.

Oh no, my concentration has wavered, and this opening has been exploited. The silver-haired girl channeled lunar magic into her staff, then raised both hands together, unleashing a greatsword of light.

Holiness Caria!

At this moment, her energy reached its peak, and a magic mirror appeared beneath her feet. She had learned it in a flash after just one glance. The extreme compression led to the extreme explosion, which suddenly burst forth with a delicate shout.

The impact sent the Full Moon Queen flying, and the light from above shattered the illusion barrier, causing vision to rapidly disintegrate.

The formidable enemy collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. The moonlit pool beneath his feet completely disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in the Great Library room.

The sudden tremor threw them into a panic, unsure of what had happened. Had even the illusion created by the demigod been breached? Moreover, the energy dissipation was terrifying, shaking the entire magic academy, and it seemed as if sword light had streaked across the sky.

Even the royal army, far away at the end of the Lienia Avenue, could see it.

The ultimate magic unfolded before their eyes, and everyone's gaze was fixed on the smoke and dust; those who could move were considered victors.

A silver-haired girl with twin ponytails walked out. Her signature silver half-body armor was pitted and covered in wounds. Although it was healing, the traces of a fierce battle were still visible.

Frillian glanced around at the familiar faces and, to their astonishment, announced:

"The strategy for conquering the magic academy is complete."

The seemingly simple sentence carried immense weight. Everyone stared at the silver-haired girl, clad in silver armor and wielding two magic staffs. Only the winner stood; the battle between demigod-level mages had a clear outcome.

Although Rena La hadn't fought for many years, her record was outstanding, and her reputation as a genius still resounded far and wide. Unexpectedly, she was defeated by the new Fragment King, who was also a mage.

it is true!

The honor of being the top mage in the border region has probably been handed over to someone else. Times have changed, and a new powerhouse has already stood at the top.

If there were some doubts about the Battle of Grik, then there is no doubt about this battle.

In the Grand Archives, the Soul King defeated the Full Moon Queen in a one-on-one duel, a truly impressive feat. Other factors, such as Lani's will, her mental illness, and Frilian's past depletion, will not be considered; otherwise, the outcome would never be clear. Strong individuals should not be easily swayed by their environment.

The strong don't always win.

Rather, the winner must be stronger.

At this moment, Queen Full Moon collapsed to the ground, exhausted and delirious, while Frilian, on the other hand, was still full of energy and seemed capable of fighting another battle.

Melina was the most worried. If the faded one suffered any serious injury, the entire plan would be ruined, the borderlands that had finally started to improve would fall back into decline, and she would be heartbroken.

"There will probably be a lot of things like this in the future. I hope I can help out..."

"Your Majesty is victorious!"

The people of Stoneville breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

If Soul King loses, he'll have to consider rescuing people and fighting his way out of the academy to get medical treatment. On a smaller scale, this battlefield will result in heavy losses. On a larger scale, the world situation will change, and the South is destined to be in turmoil.

Too many nobles exist in a system dependent on the king; if that banner falls, they will retreat to their manors in no time, preferring to endure decay and extinction rather than take any proactive action.

It's very simple. In border areas, power is the only passport, the ability to truly protect one side and establish order. Otherwise, you can just hide away and live a quiet life.

Frilian's rule was once unstable.

Things are different now. Having the title of the strongest mage in this area will only make people believe in the Southern Army's banner even more.

Of course, it's too early to be happy now; no one has forgotten that the Blessed King's army is stationed around the elevator.

"His Majesty……"

"It must be about the eastern side of Lienia, right?"

She glanced in that direction. "I saw a strong magical reaction, but that's not the point. Lani, you check the situation first."

The officer wanted to report the situation but was stopped by the silver-haired girl. The most important thing was to check on Queen Full Moon's condition first, so as not to damage her brain.

Lani came to Renara's side and carefully examined her before nodding. Renara seemed to have briefly woken up and said something, her face showing a hint of nostalgia.

The group chose to leave without disturbing the mother and daughter's reunion.

Taking this opportunity, the group went to the library entrance to exchange information:

The magic academy has largely succeeded in suppressing the group, thanks to the leadership of Professor Serenity, who is very familiar with dealing with these people. Uncooperative mages were dealt with, and the rest, intimidated by the demigod's prestige, were willing to submit. Things will only become more stable from now on.

As a key figure in the Origin faction, she still possesses leadership qualities sufficient to unite a portion of the professors, and the Cube Witch is strong enough to stand alone, easily controlling the situation with the help of the army.

very smooth.

The main reason was that Frilian and the Legion of Bones had dampened their spirits; otherwise, the die-hard academics might have put up a stubborn resistance. Now that even the Kalia royal family had become active, they had no choice but to accept reality and surrender.

"Disciple, there are still some staunch opponents who have been imprisoned. What do you suggest we do about it?"

"No time to waste with them, kill them."

Those who cannot heed kind advice are no different from demons and should be severely punished, depending on their stance; swift and decisive measures should be taken.

If Frilian, like in previous game worlds, leans more towards the traveler, that's fine; I won't bother with her unless she jumps in front of me. But now I have to be responsible for the larger group and the safety of my subordinates. Rather than worrying about them betraying me, it's better to get rid of them.

In fact, her on-the-spot decision won the approval of the Kalia faction.

Well done! Her Majesty the Queen was too good to you in the first place, and now you've taken advantage of it and even put the Lord under house arrest. Since you've rebelled, you should be thoroughly purged.

“Your Majesty Frilian, my name is Mugram, and I am the Knight Commander responsible for Her Majesty Renara’s safety. As discussed with Your Highness earlier, I am willing to go to the eastern battlefield.”

"Welcome."

"Actually, it's not just because of Lady Lani. We believe that you are the one who can become the King of Elden, and we hope to witness that moment together."

There's no need for cryptic talk; it's simply a matter of voluntarily pledging allegiance to

She is impeccable in terms of strength, influence, and character; she is a once-in-a-millennium talent, and if you miss her, you can't afford to wait for the next one.

Therefore, the Knights of Kalia will set off as promised to the eastern side of Lienia, just to show Frilian their strength and let those reckless invaders of the royal city see Lienia's determination.

Moreover, she was very grateful to Frilian for finding the princess and helping the queen recover from that state, and she was determined to repay the kindness.

A moment later, Lani arrived at the door.

"Don't worry, everyone. Mother is fine. She just needs a little sleep... She's exhausted and definitely needs rest. As for Frilian, don't worry about the life secrets. The Great Rune Amber can be researched. Just don't leave Mother's side."

"If you continue your healing experiments on the apprentices who have failed in their arcane endeavors, I will gladly offer more knowledge in return."

"In addition, she wished us success in our cooperation."

Lani's message put everyone at ease, and it seemed that the matter had been settled.

Although the Full Moon Queen remained withdrawn and only communicated through her daughter, and showed no intention of further communication, it was still better than her constantly creating various experiments and causing chaos within the barrier.

The Kalia royal family and related nobles can now become active, the disgraced mages are destined to be marginalized, and the former welcome the troops sent by Stoneville City.

Mugram immediately suggested that since the Queen no longer needed protection, she could temporarily join the army.

“Not only to thank Her Majesty Frilian, but also to protect the Lakelands, I must not allow the army of the Evil Commander to set foot here.”

"That's right, drive them away."
