Frilian at Elden Ring

So far, my efforts to save the day have outweighed my offensive actions, all so that someone can probe ahead.

Since it's a battlefield, being surrounded or ganged up on is normal, and it's good that everyone is willing to share the pressure. However, Frilian regretfully discovered that Rataen hadn't used his full strength at all, probably reserving most of his power for those of equal strength. His earlier suppression of Millison showed that he had plenty of energy left over.

boom!

Suddenly, the old man was struck hard by the Shattering Star Greatsword. Even as a master swordsman, he had not expected the opponent to be wielding a door panel. He was sent flying backward and lost consciousness.

He couldn't help anymore; the first one to leave appeared.

"Don't worry about us, Frilian. You can't handle this. Fighting Rataen is the best cover."

"I understand. I've done the necessary probing. Let's move on to the next stage."

The silver-haired girl pointed her staff at her target: "You agree, right? I won't let you deviate from your course anymore."

The sky lit up with patches of totems, revealing the comet Yazler launching in a continuous, three-dimensional burst.

They lit up with lightning speed, suddenly enveloping Rataen.

Boom!

Even someone as robust as him couldn't withstand the onslaught of several azure torrents. His defense lasted only a moment before he was sent flying and disappeared. This attack left him with all the buffs.

"How much damage did you inflict on that guy?"

As Millicent asked her question, she noticed Frillie staring intently at the horizon with a furrowed brow, and immediately turned around and shouted:

"Run! Watch out above!"

Before the words were even finished, a meteorite streaked across the sky, and not only that, its tail trailing thick smoke from the burning Moting. A single, simple flight swept across the battlefield, lifting countless rocks from the ground into the air, making it seem like a constellation of stars surrounding the moon.

These things were actually lifted up entirely by gravity magic—what terrifying energy! Even the people on the city wall felt the meteorite carrying a typhoon pressure.

Frillie's warning proved to be correct, as they began circling to gather their strength.

The spiraling acceleration provides even greater gravitational acceleration, much like a swarm of mosquitoes in summer, but the rumbling roar heralds apocalyptic power. Once it crashes down, there's no chance of survival; there will be absolutely no remains.

Only at this moment did General Shattered Star truly become serious.

"coming."

The next moment, meteorites fell—one, two, three, until they covered the entire beach battlefield.

The earth shook violently, and smoke and dust obscured the sun.

First, the shockwave overturned all the uneven sand dune bunkers, then the scorching wind evaporated all the moisture, and the extremely high temperature and pressure caused crystals to form on the ground. The escaping dust was suffocating, and the lungs felt like they were boiling.

Even when breathing heavily, I felt my life force constantly draining away, and my vision was blurred.

The sandstorm even reached a height exceeding that of the Red Lion City's walls, causing the onlookers to cough violently and even feel cracks appearing in the brick walls.

They looked at each other, forced to move away from the edge of the wall.

"Who can still move?"

Blazer stood up from the sand and looked around. Luckily, he had taken cover in the dunes in time, or he would have been in trouble. But it seemed there were few left who could help him; the situation was dire.

Could he be the only one left?

"I."

Alexander raised his hand and pointed to Millison, who was hiding under the pot. The two were disheveled but still had the strength to fight.

Not far away, Telagos also shouted back, proving that his armor was indeed the thickest.

However, their joy was short-lived; the smoke and dust were rapidly dissipating. It wasn't the sea breeze, but a powerful, magical siphon that created the storm. What was it coming from the heart of the dunes?

With a loud bang, Ratahn descended from the sky, and before he could even get his footing, a sword light shot up from the ground.

"Great is Kalia!"

The arc of light flowed, splitting mountains and seas, releasing itself from sand dunes to the coastline, creating ravines, its momentum unstoppable.

It was met by the Shattering Star Greatsword, which was also enhanced by the Rock Sword and Gravity Distortion. Even so, it forced the strongest demigod to retreat step by step. The magic that was supposed to be released in an instant has continued to this day and formed a tug-of-war.

Oh no, we can't fight head-on, we have to parry.

He swung his greatsword to the side with all his might, sending out an arc of light. In an instant, the sandstorm dispersed, and the valley, which had seemed to be just a narrow strip of sky, was cleared away.

When the sword energy reached the ocean, it continued its momentum, carving out a rift. The surging sea roared and thundered, yet it could not quell the power of this strike for a long time.

At the end of the ravine stood a silver-haired, silver-armored girl, her hands condensing magic power.

Loretta's Great Bow.

Gravity Arrow.

Both sides simultaneously employed long-range magic, exchanging arrows in mid-air while maneuvering and weaving. Each shot, capable of creating a breach in the city walls, had now become mere probes. It had only been a short time since the last fierce attack, and they hadn't even needed a moment to catch their breath.

They showed no signs of being worn down by a major battle; instead, they grew stronger with each battle and displayed a constant stream of new abilities.

When two equally matched opponents meet, or when two equally talented generals clash, it's difficult to determine who is superior.

As they ran, both sides inflicted damage with ranged magic. As the distance closed, injuries appeared, and several radiant stone arrows were seen stuck in Rataen's body, causing him to bleed.

Frillie, on the other hand, was relatively neater.

Thanks to their small size, those gravity arrows were not easy to hit, but now the two sides have reached a point where they can engage in close combat.

Swift Sword!

The slender blade, combined with the hound's agility, allowed her to aim her rapier at Ratahn's chest. Suddenly, her warhorse lurched forward with all its might, dodging the attack perfectly. Having missed her target, Frilian seized the opportunity to step onto his shoulder, transforming her rapier into a greatsword.

The lion's slash passed by his ear, but was dodged, while at the same time the Shattering Star Greatsword slashed upwards.

Despite being in mid-air, the silver-haired girl used the gravity ball to dodge and then launched another attack, which Rataun met without hesitation.

In a near-zero-distance battle, one would expect to touch the other with any movement, yet the two sides' ultra-high-speed attacks and defenses remained completely unaffected. Their movements, swordsmanship, physical prowess, and magic were all impeccable, flawless, and without any weaknesses.

True, ultimate power has no weaknesses and is not limited to the methods of mages or warriors.

Reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

The level of top demigods was fully displayed in them, dazzling the eye and leaving only afterimages.

"Is this the battle she fought with all her might?"

Millison murmured, "Swordsmanship is only a small part of her strength."

"No, it is all the power that constitutes greatness."

Blazer's voice was high-pitched.

As expected of the Soul King, his chances of winning have increased. He took the elixir and prepared to rejoin the battle. He and the remaining challengers charged forward together, offering their martial prowess as a tribute.

Once inside the siege of Frilian, more magic can be used. In an instant, ancient, vengeful spirits fill the surroundings, and endless skeletons accompany the soul magic attacks.

Even the strongest demigod would not be able to escape this extreme attack attribute.

As expected, Rataen let out a cry of pain and a roar, but more than that, he was excited, his body leaping with joy, and even the Great Rune was trembling.

It's resonance!

How could he not be excited to have two fragments of the magic ring together? The next moment, he mobilized his great power to enhance his body, increasing his health, mana, and stamina, breaking through his existing limits, and unleashing an unparalleled surge of power.

With a roar, a purple-white shockwave forced everyone back, followed by a powerful swing of the greatsword into the ground.

It is both a weapon and a staff, and it is now operating at full speed.

Frilian, who was being targeted, felt the sharp edge strike her left-hand meteor staff and had to use her right-hand Luther's staff to draw on gravity in order to barely catch it.

click!

However, the armor still cracked, and the sword energy alone left a jet of blood on the body.

She didn't even have time to recover from her injuries, because after repelling herself, the next blow landed on Millison and Blaze. There was no time to recover, so she could only give each of them a Sun Heal, which was enough to keep them alive.

In top-level battles, missing a crucial opportunity can be fatal; choosing to provide support means there's no escaping it.

The rock sword slammed into the silver-haired girl.

Combat skills, patience!

Enveloped in white light, Frillie took a half step back, outwardly appearing to be holding on, but inwardly suffering internal injuries and bleeding. Fortunately, her balance remained intact, and her resilience was remarkable; this was her chance to counterattack—

The evil god's flames instantly covered Ratahn's armor, turning him into a human torch, but he still charged forward without stopping.

Boom!

The Great Horned Knight's massive warhammer swung behind him, causing him to pause in his movements.

Taking this opportunity, Frilian immediately charged up her Soul Torrent, intending to try and inflict true damage with this move. Unfortunately, a rock ball rose from the ground to block the attack, and after missing her target, she used her experience to immediately switch to mobile evasion, jumping to avoid the subsequent shockwave.

Although Telagos had anticipated it, his full suit of heavy armor made him less agile, and he was sent flying by a sweeping attack from the rock sword.

The annoying guy is gone, time to unleash full power.

Ratan roared to the sky, then pushed off with both feet and soared into the heavens, disappearing into the clouds.

what happened?

The spectators on the city wall were puzzled. Logically speaking, why would General Shattered Star, who had such a great advantage, have to leave the battlefield? Or did he feel that his advantage was not enough and that he had to make other preparations to defeat the last powerful enemy who was already injured? Only Frilian was worthy of the strongest demigod to use his full strength.

At a whistle, the spirit horse appeared, and the silver-haired girl, gripping the reins, galloped swiftly towards the widest and flattest coastline.

"What is this doing?"

"Idiot, look at the sky, everyone should hide."

I don't know when it started, but the sky has disappeared from the clouds, leaving only the rain of rocks floating silently.

166

Chapter 166 One against two.

Ratahn, hovering in the air, showed no intention of attacking. Instead, he observed the situation and carefully watched any movement on the beach.

Moreover, even when only instinct remains, it never forgets to fully mobilize the Great Rune that is highly integrated with itself, and even benefits from the Crimson Corruption Body to reach an even higher limit.

"Is this a transitional phase?"

The sight of the Shattered Star General below the clouds sent a shiver down Frilian's spine.

well.

It would be beneath him to be the strongest demigod at the end of his rope; this is how he tests the gap between himself and the top ranks of the borderlands. Moreover, he demonstrated how to fuse with the Great Rune, while I was merely a tool for casting spells.
