Frilian at Elden Ring

"be careful."

The group exchanged glances for a moment before immediately looking away. Now was not the time for politeness; cooperation was all that mattered.

Upon realizing his opponent's change of tactics, Ratahn did not immediately retaliate. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings, and his small warhorse began to gallop, making a rapid maneuver.

He instinctively knew that the person he should be most wary of was the silver-haired girl.

The forces of energy intertwine and clash.

In contrast, Frilian moved cautiously and did not summon her spirit horse, as she was not yet familiar with the environment and wanted to play conservatively in battle.

Both Fragment Kings chose to move around at the start of the game, and the battlefield fell silent.

On the high walls of the castle, onlookers held their breath in disbelief.

Because of their wider field of vision, they could clearly see a tornado forming in the distance over the sand dunes—a sign that immense magical power, nurtured for years, could be mobilized to create clouds in all directions. Faced with the formidable enemy Frilian, even Rataen chose to mobilize all his magical power.

The stars were shifting; the solidified sky was even slightly shaky, enough to prove what a storm was brewing, a deadly insurmountable threat.

The Soul King, at the height of his power, was not to be outdone, and continued to strengthen himself with each movement, his aura rising steadily.

I've almost lost count.

The distinguishable ones include Flame Grants Me Power, Gold Establishes Oath, Vow of Revenge, Resonance of Wrath, and the Veteran's Banner, which maintain their status while running, clearly indicating an intention to sustain the entire battle.

Neither side is in a hurry and they are keeping a close eye on each other, so the real variable lies with the other challengers.

They are constantly closing the distance.

"The signal to officially begin war will probably be when we make contact with the enemy."

Melina murmured, "This is probably the toughest battle yet."

So far, she has gone through all kinds of battles with the Faded Ones, the most valuable of which is the Battle Festival. She even has to prepare for the worst, as she may perish.

"No, the battle will come later; the real signal is the stars."

"What do you mean?"

She wasn't surprised that Lani's spirit took the initiative to talk to her, since they had already discovered each other's existence.

"...I sensed it. My elder brother has released some of the magic that seals the stars, so he needs time. Frilian needs time too, because her style has always been to observe the enemy's moves rather than launch a sudden attack. Even those challengers can't change the strategies of either side."

"Speaking of which, I thought you were with Blazer."

"I am just as wary of enemies lurking in the shadows as you are."

Lani looked around and said firmly, "The Blood King will definitely come."

Now that the battle festival has begun, they need to keep an eye on Frilian.

Whoosh!

Rataen was the first to upgrade his combat level. He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Blaze, who was charging at the front. With the help of gravity magic, he arrived in the blink of an eye, leaving no room for dodging.

However, another arrow was faster, condensed from sapphire, and collided with and destroyed it. It was Frilian's sniping, as she always kept an eye on the enemy's movements.

The half-wolf burst out of the smoke without blinking, quickly closing the distance.

The greatsword has been swung towards its target.

"Let me see how powerful the strongest demigod is."

Ratan's greatsword struck first, about to hit his head, but he suddenly stopped as Alexander's full-force fist hit his waist.

He remained motionless, but that instantaneous shift in attention was enough for Blaze's greatsword to pierce his breastplate.

Click!

Unexpectedly, Ratan turned and used the spikes on his shoulder armor to deflect the blow. Immediately afterwards, a shockwave spread outwards from the center, and the few people who had managed to surround him were pushed back, avoiding the attack.

No wonder he greeted the invading enemy so generously, because he could repel them at any time. At the same time, he took off and retreated more than a hundred meters.

Such exaggerated mobility! The body seems weightless, moving as light as a feather, yet becoming as heavy as a mountain in battle.

"Get out of the way."

The instant Frilian reminded him, she unleashed the Radiant Sword Array, pouring forth in a flurry of attacks.

As expected, all of Ratan's dense barrage of arrows hit their mark. This time, he fired dozens of arrows in one go, each comparable to a siege crossbow. Fortunately, a mage of the same level intercepted them.

They landed just inches away, their sharp edges sweeping over your head and severing a few strands of hair.

If it happened to someone, they would probably be torn to pieces on the spot.

Fortunately, with Frilian's cover, the challengers were full of confidence. So far, General Shatterstar's attacks have been intercepted, and they have also been given enhancement magic. They felt very reassured.

I can't help but envy the Southern Army; they must have such a blast in team battles.

call!

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept across the beach, reaching to the heavens and earth, as if connecting with celestial magic. A torrent of magical energy, projected from the starry sky, enveloped him, clearly absorbing or rather, reclaiming the vast traveler's energy.

The magic that had bound the fate of the stars for millennia has been partially restored, as Rataen foresaw a difficult battle to come.

He let out a low growl, his muscles bulging under the terrifying pressure, making his figure appear even more imposing.

"Withdraw immediately."

Although Frilian's warning was timely, not everyone can react in time; the speed of thought is different from the speed of physical movement. When Ratahn unleashed his rapid-fire gravity magic, no one could dodge, and a series of booming explosions ignited a cloud of dust.

Known for its destructive power, the magic arrows sweep across the battlefield, and its dominance on the battlefield lives up to its name.

Seeing that the rhythm of the battle was disrupted, Frilian immediately used her healing ability.

Grace and blessings!

The massive healing magic transformed into droplets that fell like a light rain, and the warriors, who had just been covered in wounds, quickly got up.

The silver-haired girl flew to the forefront; only she could withstand the ensuing onslaught.

Frilian dared not be negligent and immediately unleashed Comet Azle, which had been stacked with countless states, sending a torrent of azure blue straight ahead in a short distance.

call!

Almost simultaneously, Rataen drew his bow and unleashed a continuous wave of gravitational energy, a direct confrontation.

Two terrifying magical attacks collided with perfect force, condensing to their extreme before shattering the stability and exploding in all directions. A deafening roar echoed in the ears, accompanied by a rumbling sound from the ground, and dust blotted out the sky.

The burly man on horseback was sent flying backwards, merging into the tornado.

In contrast, the silver-haired girl took a few steps back to steady herself.

Before her lay a mass of flesh and blood. The fully charged attack had torn through Rataen's defenses, but the flesh was mostly hollowed out by crimson decay, making it another monster without any vital points.

"The magic path was deflected just now, resulting in a loss of some of the attack power. That was truly precise gravity magic. I need to consider mid-range combat."

After a brief exchange, the experienced Frilian made a general judgment.

At this moment, all that could be seen was endless yellow sand.

However, Ratan was not the type to launch a sneak attack. With a roar and a shockwave that shook off the troublesome cover, his warhorse charged straight at him at full speed.

The silver-haired girl rushed forward, and the two instantly entered close combat range.

Rock Sword!

Two greatswords, each covered in thick rock armor, easily pierced through the petite girl's distorted light barrier defense. Frilian paid no heed, nimbly leaping to dodge, and simultaneously sweeping her Moonlight Sword in conjunction with Storm Legs, instantly covering her target in a layer of white frost.

Rataen broke free of the ice in an instant, but what followed was a dark moon pushed by Frilian.

The chalky photospheres exploded on the body surface.

You break my barrier, I weaken your magic resistance; it's a tit-for-tat exchange, and after a brief skirmish, neither of us gains an advantage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other challengers swarmed forward. The Great Horned Knight swung his hammer hard on Rataen's back, causing him to pause. He started by disrupting Rataen's balance, followed by the Old Man, Blaze's two swords flashing with blood as they moved with fluid grace.

Although they hadn't had any specific teamwork, their extensive combat experience taught them what to do, and their unspoken understanding allowed them to work together seamlessly.

With little success.

Aside from bleeding a little, he remained unfazed and was even recovering rapidly.

At the same time, the dual-wielding greatsword mage roared to the sky, sending shockwaves flying. Just then, Frilian tried to rebuild her defensive barrier, but the ensuing attacks gave her no chance.

"Everyone be careful, the Ring Fragment and Rataln have become highly integrated, and he is now in the activated Great Rune state—"

boom!

Suddenly, he created a purple vortex to attract everyone, and those who lost their balance were captured by gravity.

But one figure took the initiative and leaped out.

Millison unleashed a powerful attack under the protection of Sun Oath, deliberately slicing a gash in the weakest point of the armor, tearing away flesh and blood from her chest. In a fleeting moment, the light of a Great Rune seemed to flash.

There's no mistake, everyone in the borderlands is familiar with that powerful energy; it's the supreme power unique to the Elden Ring that's strengthening their bodies.

"Did you see that? That's the weak point."

"Be careful of yourself."

The greatsword slammed down on the red-haired girl. She had just launched a desperate attack and had no time to dodge as the blade struck.

Suddenly, a pulling force came from behind and threw Millison into the air. Other challengers were in the same situation, circling around Frillian's gravity ball. At the critical moment, a second gravity spell snatched the ball from her jaws.

I'm still a beginner in front of Rataen, so it's best to avoid using gravity magic as it can be a hindrance. But it's fine for rescues, as I can easily pull people back.

After missing his target, he immediately gave chase, his target being Millison.

Boom boom boom!

The relentless, high-frequency downward attacks enveloped the target, the greatsword leaving afterimages as it swung.

Millicon felt she was doomed, but the silver-haired girl, whose movements were even more agile, arrived first and resolved the situation one by one.

What grudge do you have against him?

A full-on attack from the Nerve Blade left Frillie's arms numb. She had to forcefully deflect the attack with her staff because she didn't have time to switch weapons. After the exchange of blows, she almost lost her balance.

Rataen, charging forward with all his might despite the lack of defense, was like a wild beast, and his demigod-like combat instincts made him extremely difficult to deal with.

"I don't know, but I will bear the hatred and defeat him."

As she answered, Millison used her Flowing Water Sword Technique to perfectly fill the gap left by Frillie, while Telagos and Blaze held off the attackers to prevent them from breaking through.

It was truly a perilous situation.

She stretched her arms to regain her magic power; the brief exchange just now was enough to prove that General Shattered Star was very lethal to mages.
