Frilian at Elden Ring

The frost dispelled the attack of the spirit fire, leaving not a single leaf on their body.

The Ancestral Spirit King, who was initially confident he could launch a surprise attack and inflict damage, was filled with regret. He hadn't expected the silver-haired girl to react so quickly; she was indeed troublesome. But it didn't matter; his companion had already shaken off his daze and rallied, ready for another round!

The two spirit flames surrounded Frillie.

Ordinary creatures would have given up long ago, and even heroic warriors might not have been able to withstand it. Yet they watched helplessly as she remained unmoved; it was gravity magic that distorted her trajectory.

The exquisite precision of the maneuver, combined with the partial rebound from the Tops force field, resulted in a completely unscathed area.

"The effect is good, and it adds another way to deal with large-scale fire attacks."

"It's my turn."

The fire magic spread and evaporated the shallow water on the ground, abruptly interrupting the resonance between the two giant deer.

This time, I chose the flames of the evil god, a power that already exists in the borderlands. It is neither the hellfire I use in reality, nor the chaotic flames of Dark Souls.

Even so, they easily curbed the enemy's home-field advantage.

They had to start retreating.

Frilian immediately seized the opening in the creature's footwork and unleashed a powerful Star Summoning attack on the Ancestral King. The giant creature struggled for a moment before being pulled towards the Ancestral King, where it was met by the Greatsword of the Skull and the Greatsword of Kalia.

The moment the two greatswords leaped and slashed, it reacted in time, using its two large horns to meet the attack head-on.

boom!

A high-stakes, head-on clash with no room for compromise.

On one side was the ultimate swordsmanship combined with the weight of a legendary weapon; on the other side was the sharpest antler of the ancestral spirit of nature. The two forces clashed fiercely, evenly matched, and formed a tug-of-war in the air.

Unfortunately, as Frilian exerted more force, her balance was broken, and her seemingly slender arms unleashed terrifying power, pushing the enemy back.

The loud clanging sound was transmitted to the antlers, which in turn caused the brain to sway.

Suddenly, it knelt down on its front hooves.

"And you."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the silver-haired girl charging forward, unleashing a sword aura that contained surging frost and freezing energy.

The outermost edge of the sword energy, composed of ice shards, spread out in a fan-shaped cutting line, striking the giant deer's body squarely. Its fur was torn, blood gushing forth, even its muscles were injured, sending the body flying backward.

With a blunt strike and a slash, the two enormous creatures were thrown out, demonstrating the immense force they possessed.

"As expected, growing taller also brings about a change in strength..."

Melina, who had been with Frilian the longest, was also the first to feel Frilian's enhancement, which was primarily reflected in her strength. She was no less powerful than a demigod like General Shattered Star, who was known for his strength.

Boom!

The silver-haired girl, who had caught up, struck the ancestral spirit with her sword again, choosing to attack the weakest among them first.

The greatsword wielded in her hand was like a hammer; simple slashing would easily kill, so she would use blunt force to gradually subdue you.

The High Mo Sledgehammer.

Immediately afterwards, Luther's Staff revealed a huge piece of sapphire, and the Ancestral King rushed forward to try to stop her, but she still managed to slam it hard into the enemy's forehead.

The concentrated, massive magic power made the opponent dizzy and knocked him to his knees with a thud.

The Ancestral King had just arrived at his companions' side, dragging his limp and powerless body as he summoned animal spirits for cover. They gathered and roamed the shallows and open fields, their movements suggesting an impending attack.

"Use numbers to deal with mages?"

Frilian raised her staff, preparing to unleash a destructive meteor.

But they witnessed the Ancestral King roar to the sky, and after a call, the animal souls gradually dissipated and transformed into energy that gathered on the Ancestral King's body. Upon contact, the energy burst forth with vitality. The next moment, the Ancestral King stood up proudly, restored to its original state, full of vigor.

In terms of treatment effectiveness alone, it is probably no less than sunlight therapy, directly restoring one's health to full.

"What an unexpected discovery!"

Her evaluation of the Ancestral Spirit's mechanics has improved somewhat, but unfortunately its basic attributes are not strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been repeatedly defeated.

"That's good, now we can go all out, since you have enough health."

As soon as she finished speaking, Frilian re-established the Golden Vow, the Oath of Revenge, and cast a Magic Realm spell. Standing there, she refined her magic to its limit and then changed her weapon to the Shattering Star Greatsword.

Use the combat technique "Rock Sword Cover" to test the power of this new contraption.

That's really heavy.

Even with her improved attributes, Frilian felt the weight of the two Shattered Star Greatswords she wielded. This was not only due to the sheer size of the weapons themselves, but also because they were imbued with the power of high-level forging stones, reaching the +9 limit.

It's just one step away from the legendary +10 God-Slaying Weapon, no wonder it's so difficult to wield.

But she always liked to try out new weapons.

Summon the stars.

A vortex of purple-white magic power surged and pulled at the two giant deer. Despite the huge difference in their weight, they were pulled in opposite directions. This was the domineering power of gravity magic.

They plowed a furrow with their four legs, but it was to no avail.

The distance between the two sides shrank to within a hundred meters, a mere instant for a master. With a thud, Frilian struck first, her Shattering Star Greatsword generating a dazzling arc of light that swept across the area. The merciless wind pressure robbed them of their breath, leaving only the crushing weight of Mount Tai in their field of vision.

Gravity blade.

The light first struck the Ancestral Spirit, then, with undiminished momentum, slapped away the King of Ancestral Spirits, throwing both of them into the air.

My head was spinning, I almost lost consciousness, my internal organs were churning, and the gravitational imbalance within my body was so severe that it would disorient any living being; once hit, my condition would rapidly decline. No, I need to regain balance quickly.

Fortunately, they can walk on air, their four hooves creating ripples in mid-air to barely keep them afloat; otherwise, another fall would have been fatal.

Little did she know that Frilian had been waiting for this moment.

With a gentle sweep of her greatsword across the ground, six rock balls flew up.

The Shattered Star Greatsword already had the effect of a staff in Rataen's hands, making it a powerful weapon for battle mages. Apart from the difference in size, it was quite compatible with its new master, and it didn't matter if different spells were used.

call!

The rock ball flew across the sky and landed on the target's body in the blink of an eye. Gravity accelerated it towards the target, and with a muffled bang, the ancestral spirit was knocked senseless.

Since the start of the war, it has been basically taking hits, making it Frilian's first choice.

Then follow up with the Full Moon spell.

The full moon shot out like a cannonball, colliding with the ancestral spirit precisely when it was off-balance. Frost first covered the spirit's fur in white, then the antlers, symbols of life, withered piece by piece, the flowers faded, and life gradually died down.

However, creatures that live up to the laws of nature still stand stubbornly and will not fall down for the time being.

The Ancestral King rushed over, but the silver-haired girl lightly jumped up under the force of gravity and stepped on the deer's antlers.

They actually bypassed the enormous creature.

Moonlight Sword!

As she leaped, the extra-long Adura Moonsword combined with the Lion Slash, drawing an arc in the air and crashing down on the Ancestral Spirit's head. The latter reacted in time, using its antlers to defend itself, and the two forces clashed.

With a loud crash, its proud horn shattered. Already weakened by the full moon magic, it was no match for the attack.

The stalemate lasted only a moment before collapsing, forcing them to relinquish the territory beneath their feet. Although their companions summoned animal spirits to replenish their strength, Frilian pressed on relentlessly, her killing intent growing ever stronger.

Comet Yazler pierced through the fragile body, instantly becoming illusory.

This is bad; we must retreat.

Driven by the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, the ancestral spirit actively burrowed into the ground, a trail of spiritual fire moving rapidly into the distance, revealing a hint of disarray in its haste.

"So there's this move too. Is it a special talent?"

Frillie did not pursue them; there was no need to exterminate rare animals. It was enough to make them back down.

Unfortunately, there was still one who was unwilling to give up.

The Ancestral King roared with fury, enraged by the intruders who trampled on his territory and harmed his companions. His body was brimming with agility, and he raised his hooves with unprecedented power, the bulging muscle lines still clearly visible under his thick fur.

"The power within you that doesn't belong to the border region is too glaring to it; this battle is unavoidable."

Melina hit the nail on the head.

"That's true. I estimate that the inhabitants of the entire underground world are hostile to outside forces."

"After all, it was an extraterrestrial star that destroyed this place."

Despite this, Frilian's actions were ruthless. A radiant array protected her body, while a destructive meteor restrained the enemy. She was already eager to engage the enraged Ancestral Spirit King in battle.

Go ahead.

One side must completely drive out the unknown intruders who are full of dangerous elements.

One side's task of investigating the underworld naturally includes the ability to carefully study new enemies.

A series of comets appeared in the night sky!

Frilian's staff unleashed a purple-black magic, merging with darkness to pursue the Ancestral King, and it looked like it was about to hit him.

Each of her moves, though seemingly fast, was actually comparable to a fully charged strike—pure force that sent bricks flying, creating an attack with power surpassing all others. Therefore, Julu couldn't immediately discern her strength, but she had another method.

The Ancestral King first used a leap into the void to trick the Night Comet into swaying its orbit, then suddenly rose up, the agile arc of his leap making it seem as if he were walking on air.

Just now it was barely airborne, but now it feels like flying.

It swept conspicuously over the silver-haired girl's head, scattering starlight and accompanied by the fragrance of grass and trees.

Gorgeous.

Even the well-traveled Frilian smiled, marveling at the miraculous creatures born from the borderlands; nature is truly amazing.

The rising torrent of souls was abruptly interrupted.

"I'll just hit you a little bit until you realize the difficulty and back down. Don't overreact, we're not mortal enemies yet."

The underworld preserves the past of the borderlands, burying countless secrets—something the oblivious, information-starved Faded Ones desperately need. Breaking too many bottles and jars won't do, and besides, the Ancestral King is quite pleasing to the eye.

I'm not some kind of demon who has to go around killing people.

Therefore, Frilian adopted a tactic of limiting the opponent as much as possible, provided there was an opportunity. Now, the incredibly agile Deerclops has turned the tables without revealing any weaknesses.

Spirit Fireball!

Leaping through the air, it spews scorching spiritual fire, which also possesses the power to kill souls.

The Ancestral King is an existence born from the principles of nature, possessing profound foundations. Even without exceptional combat skills, it still possesses formidable abilities. Having learned from its companion's experience, it now understands that it must maintain its distance.

However, an unexpected scene unfolded:
