Frilian at Elden Ring

"The spread of corruption is greater than anticipated."

Her right hand showed signs of a scarlet, decaying mutation, but it returned to normal in the next moment; this level of change was not enough to break through her physical defenses.

"This guy has gone berserk again, and I've heard that corrupted creatures have unique prayers."

Melina reminded her.

He breathed a sigh of relief after glancing at the silver-haired girl's decaying flesh that had healed in the blink of an eye. If the Faded One were to go mad from the crimson decay, it would be a complete loss. Galid was indeed dangerous.

Having finally regained the initiative, Aegis was determined not to give up and threw his head back to unleash a powerful breath attack.

This time it spread in a filamentous pattern.

Like a firework exploding in the sky, wisps of decaying stench spread, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Based on the experience just now, Frilian can confirm that the infectivity cannot be judged by the superficial form of the putrid smell. It has been spreading all along, so they need to change their tactics.

Stormy foot!

The combat skill, once again unleashed, easily dispelled the corrupting breath.

This method would definitely not work for an ordinary person, but the sheer force of it made even Aegis's face darken. So, if the power isn't enough, you just force it with magic, right? Fine, you're impressive, but protected by corrupted flesh and blood, you won't fail so easily.

As expected, the broom stars that followed had little effect, as they wasted their energy in the decaying flesh and scales.

Moreover, most of them can avoid it.

The two sides have clearly entered a stalemate, intermittently engaging in ranged attacks to harass each other, and every move they make is ravaging the land.

The already reddish soil further crumbled, dissipated, and even collapsed, leaving no trace of life, only the aura of decay. The shockwave spared no one, blasting out one deep crater after another.

Soldiers far away at the border fortress felt the strong tremors and were not idle.

"The reserve reinforcements are about to arrive, and they bring long-range crossbows."

"Go and provide backup."

"Everyone prepare to fight the corrupted creatures—"

The commotion attracted the attention of the corrupt crows and wolves, who flocked to the side of the wall of flames, eyeing it with predatory intent.

The Southern Army would never allow their homeland to be trampled by these guys, and their blood boiled with anticipation, ready to fight.

Fortunately, a comprehensive support system was established in the border region from the beginning in Hyde's plan, with various outposts and fortresses maintaining contact and rushing to the aid of the troops as soon as a signal smoke was lit. Therefore, a large force was on its way from the rear.

If we wait a while longer, we might even encounter the advance scouts of the expeditionary force.

But leaving the minor enemies to them would only make our comrades laugh at us, so we'll cooperate with His Majesty here to eliminate the invaders.

Whizzing!

The arrow rain had already struck a small group of enemies, leaving the once arrogant and roaring corrupt creatures looking disheveled.

Even from a distance, Aegis couldn't help but feel angry. They were utterly useless. He had hoped these guys would cause some trouble for the powerful enemy, but they'd only made things chaotic for themselves. They were unreliable, and he had to take matters into his own hands...

Suddenly, its foot slipped and it sank back into the pit, the very pit it had just created.

Coincidence? No!

A moment's hesitation was more than enough for Frillie.

The silver-haired girl curled up, creating a dark moon, and sped away, the magic with mass attack striking her squarely on the forehead. Then, it rolled down her body, leaving a streak of ice that froze her target, rendering her immobile.

The corrupted dragon tried to struggle, but the dark moon exploded, shattering another wing.

Even worse, he felt his magic flow was blocked, and the scales and the decaying aura on the surface that he was using to maintain his armor were peeling away and disappearing, leaving him disarmed.

Lani's Darkmoon is indeed effective.

Frillie was very satisfied with the power of the magic she used in actual combat for the first time, and immediately decided to eliminate the Full Moon Queen's moon magic.

However, the important thing is to solve the immediate problem first.

Agkis struggled desperately, clinging to the edge of the pit. Unfortunately, his body was increasingly slowed by the freezing and magic damage, making it impossible for him to move at all. His once-proud aura of corruption could no longer reach ranged enemies, and he was in imminent danger.

It watched helplessly as the silver-haired girl stood in the distance, gripping her staff vertically, the tip pointing directly at herself.

Comet Yazler!

The azure torrent obliterated the dragon's head and erased its body as if by an eraser.

143

Chapter 143 The real blossoms.

After a sustained burst of Yazler's Comet, the corrupted dragon was reduced to a mangled remains, from its belly to its legs, no longer displaying its former arrogance.

"Did it become more fragile after being hit by anti-magic magic?"

Frilian weighed the staff in her hand; it was very light. Logically speaking, even a comet impact shouldn't annihilate the target in one blow. It seemed that the injuries accumulated by the battle had been too severe for Aegis, causing him to collapse in an instant.

It will no longer threaten the border security of Ninmgaf; the alert has been lifted.

It must be admitted that the advantages of the Flying Dragon amplified the threat of the Crimson Corruption, making the margin for error lower. As a rehabilitation exercise to return from reality, it is not bad.

Snapped!

The silver-haired girl snapped her fingers, and sparks ignited the remains of Aegis, turning them into a massive torch.

This move summoned a wisp of the evil god's flame, but its effect was not much different from starting a regular fire. It seems that its power stemmed from the giant's ability to worship the evil god; for ordinary people, it would simply be a matter of slightly increasing its power.

She clapped her hands as she witnessed the corrupt dragon turn to ashes.

You're just waiting around the whole time because you're afraid the crimson corruption might have some other tricks up its sleeve. The ashes have already been scattered, so there's no way it can be resurrected.

With the colossal creature no longer obstructing their view, the warriors of the Southern Army could be seen chasing after the lured, decaying creatures in the distance, easily dispatching the chickens and dogs.

Victory.

They're not strong, being the kind of people who can't even survive in the Galid Center.

Ultimately, they are marginalized figures in a corrupt ecosystem. In reality, the center contains larger crows, more ferocious wolves, and all sorts of other monsters. Legend has it that the Ionian Lake, left behind by the great war, is still emitting pollution...

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission."

The captain, whose armor was covered in scratches, excitedly reported the situation, and with the help of friendly reinforcements, the area was finally pacified.

Although they were covered in dust and panting, they had finally won, and had avoided corruption and contamination, holding the border and repelling the enemy's attack while controlling losses.

"But we still owe you a lot, otherwise Aegis might have breached our defenses."

"So your main task now is to defend. We'll talk about attacking once the main force arrives."

"It is indeed very dangerous."

Frilian warned, "My treatment is not a panacea. It can't help with slightly more severe Crimson Putrefaction in living organisms. You must be more vigilant. You are the South's most valuable asset. Evacuate if necessary. It doesn't matter if the land is infected with some putrefaction. I can handle it."

"I've heard that Your Majesty can repair the decay in the soil, is that true?"

"That's exactly what I'm doing now—"

Before she finished speaking, Frilian removed the Ionian flower from her head, causing the surrounding soldiers to shudder, but they still placed the utmost trust in the renowned First Mage.

As the flowers fell to the ground, they immediately burst into full bloom, absorbing a massive amount of energy in the process, resulting in a breathtaking scene:

The soil looked as if the paint had been removed, and the red color had vanished.

Instead, the soil regained its normal color, and the remaining scarlet decay flowed rapidly, converged, and was swallowed up by the flowers at a single point. Even more incredibly, the affected area was rapidly expanding.

call!

A gust of wind accompanied by energy fluctuations caused the crimson decay within a radius of several kilometers to gather on its own.

It was as if Frilian had given a command, and the swarm responded.

Even the eerie crimson sky was transformed; the chilling mist dissipated, and the winds of revival returned to the earth. While the pollution was superficially removed from a few kilometers of land, it actually diluted pollution across hundreds of square kilometers.

The changes in the sky were observable from a great distance, and were especially noticeable to perceptive people.

Rataen, who was gnawing on the corpses on the sand dunes, suddenly raised his head and let out a low growl.

Inside the cabin, Gwei clenched his fists and roared, "Who is destroying this great breeding ground of corruption? This is clearly the New World—"

"what is that?"

The red-haired girl in her travel attire gazed into the distance, a sense of peace welling up within her for some unknown reason, as the self-destructive quality unique to crimson corruption was gradually eroded.

Numerous spies sent secret messages, urgently informing their superiors. They never imagined that the Crimson Corruption could actually be cured! The Soul King wasn't joking; she might gain a fertile territory.

Regardless, news of the King of the Fragments' arrival in Galid spread like wildfire.

While focusing on healing, Frilian continues to increase her magical output.

Sensing that she was completely focused, Melina took the initiative to be on guard around her. Although she couldn't fight, having an extra pair of eyes watching over her was an extra layer of security, and she couldn't leave any openings.

moment.

The crimson corruption that was sparked by the silver-haired girl is finally coming to an end.

It wasn't because there wasn't enough magic; it was because the Ionian Flower was nearing its limit and couldn't hold any more energy. After all, it was merely a product of corrupt prayer, and it had an upper limit, so they had to give up.

"Stop blooming, close up."

At a command, it quickly shrunk to the size of a headdress, yet it gave off a dangerous feeling, its red color almost dripping blood.

It directly absorbed the crimson decay within a radius of about five kilometers, and then wore it on its head to slowly dilute it.

At this moment, Frilian's feat is more insane than great.

But no one can deny the risks taken to save lives. Whether it was his unparalleled strength or his compassionate character, he was the only one of his kind in the recorded history of the border region, and there will never be another like him.

It's not over yet!

Suddenly, the silver-haired girl held the staff in both hands, raised it high to condense magic power, and then slammed it into the ground with such force that she knelt down on one knee.

In an instant, colorful flowers bloomed at their feet, a vibrant tapestry of colors, quickly spreading out around the center of the Flolian. A sweet fragrance filled the air, petals fluttered and soared into the sky. Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the flowers swaying in the wind.

They spread at an astonishing speed, instantly replacing the previous scarlet, decaying soil, creating a veritable sea of ​​flowers.

"This is my latest research: a flower field magic that can bloom in border areas."

Frillie stood up and smiled sweetly.

He had acted as if nothing had happened with all the miraculous magic he had displayed before, but he looked pleased with this scene, because he genuinely liked its effect.

Melina bent down, picked up a bouquet of flowers with both hands, and went through it again.
