Frilian at Elden Ring

Only then did it realize.

Not only that, the katana just now rebounded and cleaved the keel, sending wood flying everywhere, and it was finally about to disintegrate. And all of that was done with one hand! Just how much strength does that require? It's unimaginable.

The next moment, the silver-haired girl raised her staff again, and holy light arrows enveloped her.

Caught off guard, the boat capsized, but fortunately the hull provided some cover and mitigated the damage.

Even so, he was seriously injured and unable to recover.

The experienced creature immediately thought of using the ruins as cover to slowly grind down the enemy, but the next moment, Frilian revealed the tracking soul crystal block. With a spare moment, she even remembered to support D and Oro in the distance, helping the two easily clear dozens of skeletons.

They didn't slack off either, unleashing magic whenever the summoned ship tried to create distance, its angles tricky and difficult to dodge.

If the distance were to be shortened, I would be attacked with a knife. Although physical attacks are not very effective against me, I am absolutely unwilling to gamble on that possibility.

How to do?

Caught in a dilemma, it made a mistake and suddenly got stuck in a pile of ruins, unable to move in its current damaged state.

No, it was the silver-haired girl's attack path that was guided in this direction from the very beginning.

As expected, Frilian picked up her staff with both hands, and with the infusion of magic, the lightsaber grew much larger. She didn't need to do much maneuvering to reach the enemy and deliver a fatal blow.

The magic tore the ship apart and also tore apart the undead.

It struggled but was powerless to resist and was annihilated. Bathed in holy light, it disappeared. This light reached the sky and was clearly visible from several kilometers away.

After unleashing this move, Frilian twisted her waist, drawing an arc that even pierced through the ruins, washing away hundreds and thousands of skeletons into ashes.

Having obtained the [Ashes of the Skeleton Militia], you can summon 2 skeleton soldiers.

You have obtained the [Dead Root] item.

The dust has settled.

The moment she heard the notification, she knew she'd succeeded. Without the rule and summons of the Tibian Calling Ship, this settlement would return to nature, and the Deadborn would be unlikely to erupt in large numbers again. She also gained a Dead Root, seemingly for exchanging...?

On the other side, the black-knife assassin Oro shrugged, having expected this; this level of skill posed no threat to you.

Feeling the lingering power of the magic, D was still shaken. His scalp tingled when the lightsaber slashed past him; if the opponent had wanted to, he would have been decapitated.

It seems I need to go back to the Round Table Hall to report and share the information.

The silver-haired girl strolled leisurely out from the depths of Huanshui Village. The explosion had stirred up a torrential downpour, leaving her soaked, but it did not diminish her joy at acquiring her new treasure.

"Mr. D, do you know how to use Deadroot?"

"You can use it to exchange for some treasures from the Beast Priest Granger; the items are all quite good. There's a portal not far from here that leads directly there; I'll point it out to you."

"Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you, otherwise I might not have made it back alive."

The two exchanged a smile. Although they had only met by chance, they seemed to be good people to each other, which was rare in a border area.

"Lady Frilian, I'll head back now. We can catch up again when you visit the Round Table Hall."

After saying that, he waved goodbye and left. As Faded Ones, they always parted ways and reunited. They would meet again if they were adventuring in the same place. Moreover, D had a premonition: this land, which had been ruled by the Storm King and resisted the conquest of the Gold King for many years, was already rebellious and unyielding. Perhaps it was about to be swept up by storms again.

The silver-haired girl also waved goodbye.

"Let's search again."

Her adventurous experience told Frillie that there might be treasures around, so the silver-haired girl began a thorough search with great enthusiasm.

Even though Auro had seen the underground tombs before, she was deeply shocked. Most people avoid all kinds of ruins and relics, because they believe that they are full of dangers and never go there.

Who searches with the same elation as their own boss? Oh well, it's normal for strong people to have quirks; in fact, it's more accurate to say that they became powerful by sacrificing their demonic sword.

After searching for a while, Frillie indeed found the treasure chest in the basement.

As expected, her intuition was as sharp as ever. Seeing this, she carefully observed the area around the treasure chest, then switched to the player's perspective to confirm that there were no mimics or other monsters around before cautiously opening it.

The [Green Turtle Amulet] equipment has been obtained.

[Amulets modeled after green turtles can increase the user's energy recovery speed.]

Turtles are a well-known nutritious food and a symbol of boundless energy.

People who call turtles wise creatures consider it a barbaric custom.

Reply with green bar?

That's incredibly useful. For many warrior classes, it's better to forgo mana than to lose stamina. Currently, Frilian's Stargazer character is quite weak, and continuous magic attacks or dodges require stamina, so a powerful amulet is certainly good news.

She received an unexpected surprise; indeed, collecting more items naturally led to increased strength, and the large sum of runes she acquired allowed her to level up. So, upon returning to the ground, she called out:

"Melina, please help me upgrade my stamina again."

"As you wish, this time we need to focus our energy and attention."

Given Frilian's current strength, she won't easily run out of health. Besides, having more health just means she can withstand one or two more hits; true strength lies in not getting hit at all.

Therefore, as instructed, she allocated all the runes she had accumulated to the blue and green bars. Now the Stargazer character would be more flexible than before, and sooner or later she would be able to stand alone with just this one account.

The black-knife assassin, who witnessed all of this, still couldn't see the mysterious witch. If it weren't for his faint sense of her presence, he would have thought it was just another of his superior's quirks.

It has indeed become even stronger.

The group then headed towards the portal, as Frilian was eager to exchange for the items.

"My lord, you and the witch can go ahead. I'll stay here. When we return, we'll rest at the Third Church of Maryka over there tonight."

"Ah."

After touching the stone tablet with the vortex in the center, her figure disappeared. Melina, who was in a spirit form and merged into the body, naturally came to a land with a reddish tone, the Galid region, the Beast Temple in the crimson decay.

As soon as she arrived, Frilian turned around abruptly. She was on the steps, and below her was a guardian with his back turned.

The health bar displays the name "Black Sword's Kin." So, who is Black Sword?

As long as she doesn't attack first, it's fine. Since she's here to see the priest, she should give her master some face. With that thought, the silver-haired girl stepped forward and pushed open the door.

Chapter 28 The Black Sword (Please add to your favorites)

crunch!

Upon opening the door, Frillie was shocked to see a huge beast wrapped in coarse linen, lying half-prostrate on the ground like a human, looking very haggard.

The Beast Priest, Granger, is a mysterious being who collects the Dead Root.

According to D, he always looked disheveled and颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, and lacking motivation), and he wouldn't even look people in the eye, let alone react with any significant movement. But now it was different. Sensing the uninvited guest, the priest immediately looked up and even couldn't help but lift the top half of his head cloth.

It had the appearance of a wolfhound, with white hair, piercing eyes full of sharpness, and beautifully sculpted muscles.

He also looked directly into Frilian's emerald eyes.

This person possesses a blazing, inextinguishable flame deep within their soul, carrying the weight of countless years. It is not something that can be found in dwelling or prayer, but rather something that is truly possessed and at their command.

Very strong!

In an instant, both sides confirmed each other's strength. Although they had both concealed their abilities, they were all exposed to a true discerning eye. That was the King of the Flames, who embodied countless battlefield traditions, and the assassin who had stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood after traversing countless enemies.

The Beast Priest couldn't understand why such a dignified person had appeared so quietly at the border.

Frillie frowned deeply.

Isn't the pacing off? Why are the combat skills teacher Bernal and the beast priest Granger, whom we meet in the very early part of the story, so powerful?

How powerful must Grek, the demigod who rules over a region, be!

He should at least be slightly better than these two.

After gathering her thoughts, she chose to break the silence and speak first: "Hello, Granger, my name is Frilian, a new Faded One. I heard that you accept Deadroot here for payment?"

"Yes."

His dry reply stemmed from his inner turmoil: when did newcomers become so outrageous? Goddess Marika, what kind of monster have you summoned to the borderlands?

"I only have one dead root here, which may be a small number, but I will pay attention to collecting more to support your business in the future."

"Then I'll give you this Claw Mark Holy Seal. It seems you're a magician, so using it for prayer should be quite suitable for you."

Frillie solemnly accepted an oval-shaped accessory.

You have obtained the rare item [Claw Mark Holy Seal], which enhances the power of prayer with strength.

The claw marks on the holy seal represent Quran's wrath and can strengthen the Beast Prayer he teaches.

It's good news to be able to use the medium of prayer. Although I can forcibly mobilize it myself, it's more convenient to have the relevant weapons. And wouldn't it be better if there were strength correction? Don't be fooled by the elven girl's frail appearance; she actually has more than one max-level account.

"Well, I'm leaving then."

"Wait, Frilian, what are your thoughts on the border region?"

"This topic is too broad. Overall, I think it is a world full of vitality and potential. As long as the Elden Ring is repaired, it will surely prosper."

"So you support Queen Marika's laws?"

"Not necessarily. The Dharma Ring is a tool for realizing great power. I'll have to consider what laws to use once I have it. Besides, many situations today are caused by imperfect laws. For example, we're all collecting the Dead Root. If normal death existed in the world, wouldn't there be no Deadborn?"

The Beast Priest's robes fluttered as he murmured, "I can interpret this as meaning that one day you will fight to reclaim normal death."

"perhaps."

It's quite a coincidence that, as the one guarding the destined death, I am also a guilty person who cannot escape the responsibility for the theft, which objectively contributed to the completion of the Night of the Black Knife and the subsequent disaster.

Collecting dead roots is to atone for negligence.

If the person in front of him is a weak Faded One, then Gulang won't bother with any words; if it's a powerful Faded One, then he won't hesitate to stretch his muscles and kill the ambitious one.

But Frilian is too strong, so strong that we must be fully prepared, as the battle will definitely be fierce and chaotic.

If a battle were to break out, it would be far more dangerous than the one against the Night-Eyed Queen and the Apostle of the Godskin.

"Gulang, don't show that murderous aura towards me." The silver-haired girl's eyes turned cold. "I still don't know much about the border region, and based on the information I have now, you're not the type to lose your mind over words, are you?"

"I apologize for my rudeness, so please take a good look at the border and feel it carefully, since you have the power to change the world."

"Of course I will."

Frillie openly exposed her unguarded back to the strongest assassin in the border region, walked out calmly, and finally disappeared into the blessed space.

So she is still the faded one who can see the blessing and use it?

Moreover, the assassin's eyesight would never be wrong about the Spirit Horse Whistle, which is a royal existence recognized by Torret.
