Frilian at Elden Ring

Frillie used an invisibility spell to temporarily move over a hundred meters away, watching Vic struggle around, choosing to avoid direct confrontation for the time being.

The other party showed no intention of pursuing, having clearly become a highly assimilated host in the transition phase. Next, they would face a special enemy that was half mad fire and half red spirit.

On the other side, Melina added a small golden tree.

The light helped her suppress the growing madness, but she dared not be careless.

"Since you like using fire so much, I'll use my own flames first, so you won't have any chance to take advantage of me."

The flames give me strength.

With this thought in mind, Frilian proactively activated an enhancement, which indeed made it even harder for the Maniacal Flame, which also belonged to the fire category, to penetrate. The idea was correct; after all, there were quite a few flames on the border, and their incompatibility actually increased the margin for error.

Then she gripped the sword of night and fire tightly; everything was ready.

Vik, engulfed in flames, finally stopped his indiscriminate attack. Clutching his head, he regained some consciousness. His wounds hadn't healed yet; he needed to take some medicine…

boom!

Loretta's great bow knocked the elixir away, causing the red spirit to let out a shrill roar in anger, continuing her escalating madness.

"Why is it that every time I encounter a puppet, it gets possessed by an Outer God and then unleashes unexpected power?"

"Unfortunately, you're still lacking. You're not the original form; you have the power but lack the skill."

The Flowing Water Sword Technique was unleashed once more, and the silver-haired girl, with her exquisite skills, actually cut through the flames and boldly charged into the sea of ​​fire, forcing Vic, who was trying to drink the medicine, to stop.

Swords divide the thoroughfare.

Even the user hadn't expected it to be so effective against the madness, which allowed Frilian to unleash the Comet Impact, the blue light hitting the bullseye perfectly.

Caught off guard, Hong Ling was sent flying backward and crashed into a boulder.

Yet he still did not forget to send the mad fire flying.

Having mastered this tactic, Frilian calmly enveloped herself with chaotic flames, only to have the envelopment shatter upon contact with gravity magic. A clustered mass is a threat, but guiding it away to other areas solves the problem; prevention is worse than cure, avoid a direct confrontation.

Guided by multiple magical spells, a long, fiery serpent suddenly appeared in the sky, stretching for hundreds of meters and roaring aggressively.

It roams the sky, showering down fiery meteors like scattered fragments of a disintegrating meteorite.

Beautiful and deadly.

The attack that the Mad Fire Will had placed so much hope in was caught steadily by Frilian, and then dissipated into the air, unable to gather any more intent, and completely vanished without a trace.

This final fire looked incredibly fierce, but it couldn't harm the target.

Only absolute control and precise judgment of magic can accomplish this. At this moment, she used no seal but it was as good as a seal, preventing the raging mad fire from causing trouble. Even if it rushed up recklessly, it would be repelled.

Her nonchalant response stemmed from adaptation, while Vic, on the other hand, lost energy in his frenzy.

Pfft!

The body that had been struggling to stand up collapsed weakly. Without the enemy making any follow-up moves, it couldn't hold on any longer; it was ultimately the corrupting power of the Outer God.

He picked up his spear and aimed it at the enemy.

Even at this point, the weapon remained unmoved, displaying unwavering willpower, and seemed capable of unleashing even more exquisite combat techniques.

Therefore, this was no time to be negligent. The silver-haired girl took out her Moon Shadow Blade and assumed a stance for charging up her Iaijutsu. Then, she dashed forward like an arrow, her footsteps turning into afterimages as she arrived in front of her target.

He watched helplessly as Frilian's blade pierced his heart.

Vic sighed and gazed at the tranquil church.

"Don't worry, I won't desecrate the dead."

The silver-haired girl stood leaning on her sword, showing no murderous intent, and said, "My Finger Witch didn't even meet me alive, and I was the one who buried her body, so the one in the church will also be properly taken care of, and I will grant her soul protection."

"..."

Hongling continued to stare at the dilapidated building, then lowered her gun and disappeared, her battle-hardened weapon still stuck in the lush greenery.

Frillie stretched her muscles and calmed her heartbeat, which was quite suitable as rehabilitation for returning to the border region.

Meanwhile, Melina, still shaken, put away the golden tree and said:

"That last burst of madness had a very strong will of the Three Fingers, or rather, the collective will of all the madness-affiliated beings in the world was urgently seeking a new host. Your fates are now intertwined."

“It’s okay. Even if He doesn’t come to me, I will come to Him sooner or later, and I’ll even have some unexpected gains.”

Unfortunately, it's a contaminated weapon that's unusable.

Vic's Spear

The spear bearing the marks of molten fingernails was the weapon of Vic, one of the Knights of the Round Table.

This weapon, like the Vic's, is tormented by yellow, raging flames, burning from the inside out.

[Combat Skill: Frenzied Fire Assault]

[A combat technique that involves leaping forward after entangling the spear in madness, then thrusting it downwards, triggering a violent explosion. The user will also accumulate madness points.]

After grasping the spear, Frilian raised an eyebrow and then pulled out a wisp of soul energy into the void, producing a painful roar.

"It's the will of the three fingers!"

Melina immediately reminded her.

"They hid it on their spears, intending to launch a sneak attack... Although the aura was very faint, the general direction was towards the royal city of Rodel. The most prosperous and absolute center of the border region is hiding the Mad Flame? What kind of capital is this? Is it being used or sealed away?"

After the spiritual energy in her hand dissipated, she gazed at the light on the Altar Plateau, which was reflected by the golden dome of the Rodel building.

The water was already deep to begin with.

Now they're involved with the fire demons again. They're really restless. They seem prosperous on the surface, but they're sitting on a powder keg. I knew it was the right choice to do some preliminary investigation first.

"It must be a seal, otherwise something would have happened to the royal city long ago, and I would have noticed it too."

Melina knew how much her partner distrusted the capital of the Golden Dynasty. In her mind, every royal city was a natural breeding ground for monsters, and she had to speculate and eliminate them with the utmost malice.

Changing people's minds is impossible, but at least try to defend them.

Frillie remained noncommittal; after all, important people always liked to tinker with some inexplicable dangerous things.

For example, there is another new and special discovery:

【Fingerprint Grapes】

[Knight Vic's burned and yellowed eyeballs. Like the burn marks all over his body, the finger-like burn scars were clearly visible.]

[If offered to a blind witch, it will guide her to the light on the other side.]

[Make her the Finger Witch]

It felt strange, and an evil and deep aura wafted over me. Even after being captured, it was still restless and released its seductive power, eager to find a new host and then shine brightly.

It should be some kind of quest item, but what exactly is going on?

Frilian, who was reading the player's advice, was slightly taken aback. Information such as "Irena is Haida", "the witch of the King of Mad Fire" and "the Shapolili conspiracy" flooded in. It turned out that things had changed a long time ago, and the daughter of the Lord of Moen was alive and well.

Whatever.

I've seen side quests break down all the time, it's okay. We'll find Three Fingers' hiding place eventually, and then we'll settle the score.

"Forget it, it's too early to investigate it. Right now, let's clean up the mad fire contamination. I'll need to use a little magic."

Frilian switched her staff and lightly tapped the ground.

hum!

The domineering magic swept across the earth in the most direct and efficient way, and all the mad fire that it touched dissipated without leaving a trace.

At the same time, the addition of two large runes allowed the magic to resonate with the purification of the source, dispelling all evil. How to deal with the various bizarre contaminations on the borderlands? She was already adept at this; it was a piece of cake.

As the soil is dispersed and purified, its vitality is further awakened.

The grasses are lush and the flowers are in full bloom. Vines climb up the ruins of the Madfire stronghold, and ivy adorns the hillside. Even the collapsed earth and rocks have been reshaped by gravity.

They repair themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye; creation is a greater manifestation of power than destruction.

"All alert lifted."

The highly alert Lienian army issued a signal.

Everyone almost thought something big had happened again, but a battle between demigods is not so easy. It seems that a powerful hero fought against His Majesty, most likely Hong Ling.

In short, it's good that they didn't continue to cause trouble; otherwise, the lake area they had just started to develop might have faced a wave of losses.

Rather than a blessing in disguise, the Madfire stronghold has now been completely eradicated. As long as Frilian goes there, no demons or monsters can hide. It now looks lush and green from afar, and in the future, it may even be able to build a new town, just like the purified land of the dead in Nymgford.

"His Majesty's purification has become stronger."

Mugraram murmured.

Edgar, standing beside her, chimed in, "From the south to the central lake region, her magical resurgence is becoming increasingly perfect, further enhanced by the Great Rune."

"Yes, many people are wondering why the Soul King, who possesses two large runes, did not exhibit the special activation effects of the two original owners? Now I am gradually understanding."

"why?"

"I guess the direction of the Great Rune's enhancement depends on the user."

"I see. Giving it to Grek will improve his attributes in all aspects, while giving it to Rataen will increase his abilities as a warrior and mage."

Mugram expressed his sincere admiration:

"What effect will it have on His Majesty? It has nothing to do with combat; it is a miracle that can bless souls and heal living beings. Even if it can give up the amplification of power, it will save the broken world."

Something's not right.

Edgar smiled and said, "It's not about giving up, but about embracing a stronger power, which is to stay true to your original aspirations."

"Can character and willpower determine the height of a king? Perhaps..."

As the two were chatting, they saw fragments of blessed light scattered on the high slope of the road.

As expected of Frillian, she can casually find an excuse to bestow blessings. At this rate, she'll be even more enthusiastic than the Golden Tree. Sure enough, everyone who felt the warmth shouted:

"Praise be to Your Majesty!"

The silver-haired girl on the high ground put away her staff.

The blessing was purely incidental; since it was all using the power of the Great Rune, there was no harm in using it. In reality, I didn't rely on it in my daily combat, at least not until I obtained the complete Elden Ring, so I didn't need it to get involved too much.

After calming the magic within her, Frillie strode toward the Calm Church.

Years of silence have left this place weathered and worn, but the sturdy stones still fulfill their guardianship mission, ensuring the peace of the deceased.
