Frilian at Elden Ring

No further explanation is needed; the distance between our hearts has been confirmed in battle, and we both understand each other's character. Our goals are ambitious, but it's the challenge that makes our partnership worthwhile.

To be honest, other empty promises probably wouldn't impress Samir, since he'd seen too many of them. On the contrary, the Elden Ring always excites him.

Fight.

The expedition's objectives have been officially achieved.

For Frilian, the absence of a sealed prison that caused so much trouble was a good thing. Now that the east and west parts of the Sobbing Peninsula were completely connected, it would be much easier to mobilize resources internally.

He was probably the fastest to move, and based on the estimated travel time, Edgar's side on the central-southern route should still be in the cave area. At this moment, the surrounding crowd of onlookers cheered loudly, even more excited than the two people involved:

"Praise be to the great monarch of Nymgfu."

"The Korean Peninsula will usher in true unification and integration."

Long live the faded ones!

They even improved their impression of the Faded Ones a bit, since they were still better than those monsters.

"By the way, I was just about to ask: Samir, did you sense a lot of magical energy in those ruins?"

"I've seen that kind of special magic before. It's supposed to be used to seal someone. Could it be that other prisoners appeared while I was imprisoned?"

Upon seeing Frillie's puzzled look, a woodland villager immediately replied, "Everyone in the area knows that it's called the Ruins of the Sealed Witch, the academy's prison for the Cube Witch."

"what is her name?"

"The Origin School magician Seren".

"It's not good for the academy's power to be present in our rear."

Frilian glanced at Samir, who raised his longsword and nodded, having already found his first mission after pledging allegiance.

Chapter 56 Rescuing Teacher Se-ryeon (Please continue reading)

What's going on up there?

Seren's true form in the basement couldn't help but struggle a few times, but unfortunately, the seal on her hands prevented her from moving. At the same time, several pieces of gravel fell from the ceiling.

If this continues, the body may be destroyed before there is a proper backup.

She was completely baffled as to what had happened in this remote place.

The magic academy set up multiple seals around this place, but they couldn't conceal the physical damage. It seems that an uninvited guest forcefully broke into the magic field and, in a fit of rage, swept across the area.

The terrifying magical pressure was genuine.

The intruder was extremely strong, and its fighting style was reckless and impulsive, essentially breaking through the magic defenses by sheer force.

The academy is renowned for its positional defense tactics, which once thwarted the conquest of the golden dynasty at its peak, and this technology continues to this day.

But today, it crumbled at the hands of uninvited guests. The earth rumbled, and a howling, cold wind seeped through the cracks in the bricks, chilling to the bone. Indeed, there must be another powerful ally present.

The explosions were accompanied by angry curses from some mages:

"Damn bastard!"

"Notify the main campus immediately."

"This guy is nothing but a hybrid scum with demi-human characteristics—"

What awaited them was a mundane slaughter. Regardless of whether the intruder was angered or not, he steadily and gradually dismantled the magic array, proving to be no match for them.

Some magicians had already retreated into the basement, trembling, their disheveled appearance making Serenity laugh.

Even so, she felt a chill in her heart, after all, the intruding mage was coming on strong and was about to kill her. If she were in full strength, she might be able to stop him, but now she was restricted and sealed by the academy.

A sorcerer stood before her, his voice ominous, "If you've come to rescue someone, I will kill you immediately..."

Click!

The moment the basement door opened, a longsword of frost sliced ​​the hiding puppet monster to shreds, causing it to collapse instantly.

Why is the famous hero Samir here? Has the sealed prison failed?

Then the other party respectfully moved to the other side.

A familiar figure crouched down, peering around with the same wariness of the enclosed environment as always, as if it wanted to find a spider in the cracks between the bricks and crush it several times before it would be satisfied.

"Teacher Se-ryeon, I didn't expect to see you again after only a few days."

The girl with the distinctive long, pointed ears is none other than Frilian, and the apprentice she met once before has unexpectedly reunited with her.

"You're not allowed to come any closer!"

The panicked mage directed his magic at the witch, appearing hysterical, but the next moment he turned into ice and shattered, instantly killed by the powerful warrior.

He couldn't understand why the Cube Witch was so lucky to take on such a disciple; it seemed the academy could no longer deploy troops.

"Frilian, how many more surprises do you have in store? Taking you as my apprentice was probably the best decision I ever made."

"Compared to this, what about the seal?"

“I could have used the Source Stone to give you a new body, but the timing wasn’t right. First, help me break the seal, and use this old body to hold on for now…”

Before the words were even finished, a burst of sunlight healing enveloped the body and even the soul, causing them to recover rapidly.

Serian clearly felt that his body, which was about to begin turning into a zombie, was completely intact.

"what!"

"Thanks to the inspiration my teacher gave me, my healing magic can now have a slight effect on souls. Although it can't reverse severe zombie infections for the time being, it's enough to make do."

As she spoke, Frilian easily broke the seal.

After regaining his freedom, Seren moved his wrists, feeling refreshed and invigorated; the healing magic had brought him to a state of near perfection.

She had foreseen that her fate of being sealed away until death, but her disciple violently broke through it. She had never dared to imagine it before, and she even witnessed the rise of a new school of magic.

"Did you know that soul magic can compensate for the current shortcomings of the Tree Return System?"

"I know."

"Therefore, we must continue this research. I will also help. Perhaps we can find a way to remedy the weakening of the Golden Tree's blessing."

"Yes, I believe that even if the magic ring is repaired, some undead will still be irreversible, and the world will still suffer massive losses. We should promote soul healing and magic ring repair together, and work in tandem to complete the reconstruction."

As someone who has faded away, one should certainly not let things continue to deteriorate.

I will not be the king of a wasteland.

“Disciple, you are a genius, capable of creating a new school of thought. Even if you do not choose to pay homage to the Dharma Ring, your current research is enough to save many people. You, who possess such precious knowledge, should not take risks.”

"Knowledge is perfected through exchange, and I will not keep it to myself. I will spread it when it is more perfect."

"This idea is indeed rare in today's colleges, and it will also become a thorn in their side."

"Would you like to join us, teacher?"

“A person’s energy is limited. Studying the soul means giving up my Origin School to some extent, which is crucial... Besides, I need to recuperate more.”

Seren was indeed tempted by the booming development of soul magic, but he could not give up the school of thought to which he had devoted many years of effort and inherited his master's legacy, so he chose to delay and wait.

The objective conditions are also there; this body has been sealed for too long and must be rehabilitated, otherwise it will become a hindrance along with Frilian.

That's it.

If we can't find the Origin School master Yazler, then the Soul School might be more suitable...

"I'm ready to wait for you anytime, teacher. If things go smoothly here, we'll meet again in Stoneville City. I'll definitely prepare the best magic laboratory for you."

How's your career going?

Frilian recounted the recent developments in detail. After hearing the story of how the journey from the ruins of the post station to the Weeping Peninsula, Seren couldn't help but admire her efficiency and decisiveness, which she had managed to accomplish.

It's truly remarkable that they managed to incorporate the nobles of the Sobbing Peninsula.

Moreover, with such powerful combat strength sweeping across the land, the monsters' rampage will only make it more prosperous, and the potential for future wars should not be underestimated.

Moreover, with the addition of powerful figures like the ancient hero Samir to the Faded Ones' ranks, their overall strength is probably no less than that of Stoneville City.

Seren had no idea that he had brought this to the forefront.

This is significant to her, and equally shocking to the entire border region, isn't it? How many years have passed? Someone will lead a massive army to confront the Fragment King.

Seeing his apprentice about to head to the brutal battlefield to challenge the Fragment King, it was impossible not to be nervous. He had been rescued twice, yet unable to directly participate in the battle to help; he felt a little guilty, but he was determined to at least make up for it with teaching...

While she was pondering, Frilian skillfully took out the royal scroll and handed it to her.

"The scrolls that the nobles presented to me contained some coded messages about the academy that I didn't understand. Perhaps my teacher knows what they contained."

"It's magic that suits your name perfectly."

"What is it?"

"Kalia's Swift Sword and Shining Sword Circle Formation".

Chapter 57 Sobbing - Peninsula Clearance Completed

Even the usually aloof Frilian couldn't help but look conflicted. How did this title come to be suitable for me?

Because of "burying the demon sword", right?

The problem lies in the conflicting rules of the world that don't allow for overly powerful magic. The Farron Swift Sword was used to fight faster, and once the reputation spread, it became impossible to clarify.

That's not entirely wrong; she's always played primarily as a mage with warriors as her secondary role.

Seren, who was also interested in magic, explained as he deciphered the scroll: "The Kalia Swift Sword is similar to the unknown magic sword you often use, but it has the advantage of a high magic power to damage ratio and is also fast."

"Some famous magic swordsmen rely on it to instantly kill their enemies, often shortening the distance and finishing off their targets with a few quick slashes, or even dying themselves."

"After all, it can be used immediately after other actions. It is a well-known and highly practical sword magic in Kalia's sword magic."

In short, they made their moves very quickly.

As a nun, she didn't like this style, but her disciple seemed to adore it.

Frillie asked, "Does it have any weaknesses?"
