Frilian at Elden Ring

It is unforgivable to disturb His Highness's rest.

Iggy and Servis, who were guarding the door, were also on high alert, realizing that today's attack was different: a continuous stream of shadowy beasts surged up, howling, roaring, and baring their fangs and claws.

"These guys have become pure tools of war; they have no will of their own and are born solely to attack."

"It looks a bit like my doll."

"Be careful, some of them possess special magic."

Igi swung his blade fiercely, slaying a survivor caught in the dragon's breath attack. With the troll's size easily blocking the entrance and Servis's magical cover, they barely managed to hold off the initial attack.

But just as he guessed, a figure dressed as a mage appeared in the distance.

Protect your fingers!

Suddenly, several giant fingers emerged from the ground, lifting up the attacker. The defense, as solid as an iron wall, intercepted the attack, even blocking the dragon's breath.

The Radiant Stone Dragon in the sky let out a furious roar of resentment and went to beat up another group of unprotected assassins.

But they continue to advance relentlessly.

Since the overhead fire was having little effect, they decided to fight on the ground. The two men and the dragon stood in front of the magic tower, holding off the first few assassins who rushed up. They were agile, elusive, and extremely difficult to deal with.

The two sides fought fiercely, neither giving an inch, leaving the entire outskirts of the fortress riddled with craters.

The cover of the huge pyroxene crystal mine next to it was no longer there, scattered and broken into dust. The hidden mist also gradually dissipated, and the view suddenly became clear.

hum!

The hidden spells within the stronghold of Kalia proactively countered the attack.

The stream of light rose from below, then fell vertically like an arrow, slamming into the assassins and sending them sprawling.

"It's so powerful!"

Igi turned around and said, "It was Lady Lani who made the move."

A blue doll-like girl descended the steps of the tower behind her, her face, in spirit form, filled with solemnity. Although she appeared to possess high magical power, she was actually unable to unleash her full potential due to her long slumber.

"They really picked a good time."

"It looks like we'll have to hold out for a while. We're quite far from the magic academy, and reinforcements won't arrive for a while. Let's race against time."

She glanced around, and her three subordinates nodded solemnly. That being said, it wasn't a secret to Lani that Servis had been holding back all along, still presenting himself as a puppet. Quite a few tricks up his sleeve; she'd need to be dealt with later.

As for the remaining two, Igi and Huishilong, one lacks strength and the other lacks strategy, which is a pity.

Lani, pulling herself together, looked at the assassins before her. These shadowy beasts grew increasingly ferocious, displaying an instinctive urge to kill their targets.

Dark Moon!

A huge, chalky sphere of light fell to the ground, carrying frost.

Any magician who came into contact with it experienced a disruption and stagnation of their magic, and their previously solid fingertip protection was dismantled. The power of the anti-magic spell caught them completely off guard.

With Lani joining, the pressure decreased significantly.

Thanks to the enhancement and adjustment of her state by soul magic, she was able to unleash even greater power.

On the surface, she only released simple radiance stone magic, but her demigod-level manipulation made each stone incredibly powerful. A single explosion could overturn several assassins, preventing them from posing a threat.

Meanwhile, with the magical cover of Kalia Fortress, the situation was finally stabilized.

"Lani—"

Suddenly, the shadow beasts roared in unison at the same name, and the deep, evil aura made everyone in the arena pause, and all was silent.

"You abandoned your bodies and betrayed the destiny of gods and men, and even tried to find the forbidden treasures of the Eternal City. Do you think your sins end here? No, Two Fingers will annihilate you completely. This is an absolute law that will eventually be fulfilled."

Before the words were even finished, all the magic assassins cast a spell together, creating a massive coverage effect resembling a meteor shower.

Pyroxene claws!

The magic condensed into long fingers, seemingly covering the sky. Once they passed by, they disrupted the path of the magic, moving with unstoppable force. Their form was unprecedented.

The once-powerful fortress-protecting magic was shattered, turning into drifting stardust. The finger magic continued to swirl, leaving a strange pollution in its wake, as if an aura from beyond the stars was disrupting the magic.

"This must be finger magic."

"Lani murmured."

As a demigod skilled in this field, she was knowledgeable and had even stood on the shoulders of giants at the magic academy, yet she knew very little. It was clearly a very ancient type of magic, deeply buried in the chaos of history, which the two-finger assassin had now caught off guard with.

Even the mage tower's defenses were shaking.

Furthermore, Lani's condition prevents her from playing for extended periods, and her home-field advantage is not significant enough.

They exchanged a glance and decided to retreat; otherwise, if the shadow beasts continued their rampage, there would inevitably be casualties sooner or later, so they had to get away.

Rumble!

Sensing the enemy's weakness, the assassins unleashed an even more reckless barrage. The sky echoed with traces of finger magic, circulating endlessly, even causing the radiant stone magic circle surrounding the city of Kalia to tremble.

"You simply don't understand how powerful Lord Finger is."

"Enough with your clever tricks. The Eternal City is not for you to touch. All who seek it will die."

The more they used their finger magic, the more frenzied they became, completely disregarding Lani and her group's counterattack.

hum!

Suddenly, the blessing point in the center of the battlefield lit up, and the first thing to arrive was the ultra-wide perception that locked onto all enemies. Then, the light particles revealed the figure of Frillian.

"That's quite a show, Lani's Two Fingers, your magic is pretty good."

"Damn foreign Lord of Fire."

"You're not bad either. You couldn't even hide that strange aura from beyond the stars. You're just a schemer."

Compared to her calm words, her magic was dozens of times more violent. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a three-dimensional surge of soul energy, a torrent of soul energy containing the power of primordial fire that washed over its target, burning it to ashes with the slightest touch—the kind of ashes that would never be resurrected.

They were caught completely off guard by Frilian's sudden attack, and even if they had prepared, it would have been useless, because she unleashed her fury and annihilated the enemy without reservation.

The torrent of souls acted like an eraser, wiping out countless killers.

Soul-based magic is her most lethal and proficient skill, representing a high level of seriousness. Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences; in this situation where hesitation is not an option, swift and decisive action is necessary.

They proved to be easily defeated.

Lani is an important ally and cannot be lost, especially since the two-finger assassin is so aggressive that he won't give us a chance to prolong the battle.

So Frilian held nothing back, unleashing Soul Torrent the moment she appeared. It was a power eruption slightly smaller than Duck Comet, but perfectly suited to her own characteristics.

Whizzing!

They form an all-round strike coverage in the air, taking care of every target without blind spots.

"Damn it, use the Guardian Finger now."

A giant hand rose from the ground to protect the attacker, and at the same time, Lani warned, "Be careful, that thing is very hard and has high magic resistance."

"Looks like we don't need to..."

Before she could finish speaking, the silver-haired girl coldly increased her strength, but the azure torrent still pierced through the target with unstoppable force. The seemingly strong guardian finger couldn't even withstand it for a moment and completely collapsed.

A mournful cry seemed to echo as the magic vanished.

This is unbelievable. Could it be that there's a double-fingered control behind the scenes? But it doesn't matter anymore; the situation is becoming increasingly clear.

At this moment, Frilian's firepower was comparable to that of an entire legion. Her magic power was unfathomable, and she could attack with only one type of magic without being able to stop it. The arrogant shadow beast shattered at the slightest touch.

They weren't pushovers who would just take the beating; they immediately launched a counterattack.

boom!

A claw pierced her left hand, but almost simultaneously the brass shield deflected precisely, even flashing with a force field aura to ensure its stability.

Be cautious when facing unfamiliar magic.

Therefore, Frilian, after a long absence, took out her highly enhanced brass shield, just in case something unexpected happened. The magic seen on the border was easily deflected or countered; for these special types, defense was key, and it was best to gradually whittle down the enemy.

But in the eyes of the assassins, it was clearly Soul King launching a full-scale attack, wave after wave of enemies, relentless and unending.

The torrents of souls that lit up the sky were blindingly bright, their power undiminished even now, and they were getting faster and denser, as if responding to their master's caution.

Their counterattack was thwarted, leaving them helpless.

"Fight."

All the finger magicians present unleashed their magic to launch a joint counterattack.

Phantom-like fingers, shaped like bone claws, rose from the ground, protecting the caster while simultaneously forming a gigantic hand that slammed down on Freylian's location, enough to flatten an entire mountain.

However, in an instant, a beam of light that stretched for a hundred meters appeared in her hand, and the Caria Greatsword was swung upwards with all its might.

The wind howled, the earth shook, the clouds parted on both sides, and beneath the sunlight lay the crumbling bones and claws.

Several finger mages also perished along with them.

The sheer scale of the exchange of fire made Lani adjust her witch's pointed hat in surprise.

That was really clean and efficient.

Despite facing a special type of magic for the first time, he overcame it with brute force; this combat wisdom in handling various situations is the source of his strength.

No one could withstand Frillie's devastating attack, Kalia's ultimate move. As expected, the assassins fell in disarray, some turning to ashes on the spot, others barely clinging to life, and there were no successors.

Lani reminded her, "I can feel the aura of Two Fingers fading; they shouldn't be sending any more enemies."

"Then all that's left is to eliminate them."

The silver-haired girl held her staff high, and ancient, vengeful spirits of the dead, capable of tracking and killing souls, drifted in all directions, while skeletons laughed as they searched for them.

After several modifications and improvements, this necromancy became more intelligent, knowing how to carefully seek out every breathing creature, making it perfect for finishing off enemies. Someone tried to resist, breaking through the skeleton but was immediately struck by the next attack, the impact leaving their body sluggish.

Even when fully armed and clad in armor, it cannot withstand the rapid erosion of its toughness.

Bang bang bang!

After a barrage of fire, the assassin died, and his accomplices were also surrounded and attacked by vengeful spirits. These things had the advantage of sheer numbers, and their weak impact allowed them to exert pressure.

When facing top-tier opponents, she can easily adapt to the rhythm of the battle, so Frilian uses different magic, with the exception of others.

Ordinary enemies rarely master magic in their entire lives, so it's best to eliminate them with simple and straightforward moves.

The battle is nearing its end.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl was waving her staff to release ancient, vengeful spirits of the dead, while using the sharp corner of her brass shield to finish off the remaining targets one by one.
