Frillian in the Elden Ring

At the end of "Dark Souls", Freelian used all means to preserve a part of everyone's soul in the world where the flames were about to go out. In addition, there are always opportunities with the magic theories of different worlds, such as the tree-returning system in "Elden Circle".

Moreover, when he arrived at the intersection, several firewoods splashed out from the flames, and he didn't know where they were floating to. Perhaps they would also have more options if they merged with the intersection.

What's more, game magic occasionally has MOD extraction, such as multiple rounds of saving, one-hit kill and the like.

Fulilian thinks it's full of possibilities.

"I am prepared to sacrifice, but I must ultimately achieve perfection. I prioritize salvation over becoming the King of Elden. My witch told me the former, and I didn't have time to save her the latter."

"—This is a perfect answer that exceeded my expectations."

Bernal had nothing to blame. Since the other party possessed the pride of a strong man and the power to deny fate, he would naturally take a different path.

Now he is more envious and pays tribute to the faded role models.

Fortunately.

Melina, who had been listening, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party didn't directly point out that the witch's life needed to be sacrificed, it would be fine.

And maybe she was just being too sentimental. Judging from the fact that Fulilian was currently indifferent to everything, she would never hesitate or feel sad for a long time when it came to asking the people around her to make sacrifices.

It is indeed lucky to find such a faded person, and the long years of searching are not in vain.

"I almost forgot." After changing the subject, Bernard finally spoke in a high-spirited tone: "I want to teach you my combat skills. This power should naturally be passed down."

"Thank you in advance."

"I should be the one thanking you. It's my pride to have someone as powerful as you use it. By the way, I think your storm can be even stronger..."

He regained his enthusiasm when talking about fighting.

Fulilian's eyes lit up with inspiration. According to Bernard's idea, the combat skills could be given more physical destructive power, mixed with the influence of magic, so that the Storm Foot would tend to be destructive and repulsive, which would surely be earth-shattering once used.

It is said that long ago, the first king, Ge Fulei, was so powerful that he could move the earth and even defeated the Storm King. So can the power of the first king be comparable to that of that year or even surpass it?

He believes that Storm Foot should shine even brighter and truly create a storm.

In addition, Bernal shared other combat skills, including but not limited to endurance, thrusting, etc., most of which are basic.

The foundation is good.

After all, Fulilian didn't have the time to fully exploit the power of numerous combat techniques; simply handling the battle was sufficient. In truly high-pressure situations, she would rely on magic. It was only because the Dark Soul magic she had unlocked wasn't powerful enough, otherwise the exchange would have been much faster. Of course, there was a high probability that Bernard wouldn't resonate with her.

After some communication, she confirmed that the other party was a good teacher.

He is simply an expert in combat techniques.

In Bernard's hands, it has almost become a science, and his experience can be called a secret manual. Every hint is enlightening and helps people think clearly.

Just based on this master-level experience, we can tell that he was far from displaying his full strength just now. His inner strength is unfathomable. He should be a major character who appears in the later stages of the plot. Or are demigods so powerful?

While she was distracted, Fulilian learned most of it.

"...Although you're not serious at all, I have to admit that you're gifted."

"I've taught you what I can in a short time. The rest is up to you to figure out on your own. Remember, a combat technique will look different when used by different people."

Bernard stood there with his arms folded, shouting loudly. It was late at night, the stars were shining brightly, and it was probably getting cold.

He made his closing remarks and was about to say goodbye.

It was satisfying enough to be able to have a good fight. I didn't expect that someone could completely inherit these fighting skills. I felt a bit of passion for life after a long time.

so fast.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the third day had passed. But Fulilian showed no sign of fatigue. It was as if she had finally grasped the wonders of the Junction and was no longer slacking off. Perhaps she should be more proactive and work day and night to illuminate each Blessing Point first.

"Thank you. I'll take a rest later and then go to Morn City to help as you asked."

"Of course, I will also spread the name of the Devil Sword of Destruction. Having one more strong person with good character in the border area will make things better."

"How are we going to meet next time? Round Table Hall?"

"...It's not the Hall of the Round Table. If you go north to the Yatan Plateau, you might see it in the volcanic area to the west. But it's not a good place, as you'll learn later."

Bernard obviously didn't want to go into the details and waved goodbye.

He was very friendly and helpful from beginning to end, sharing a lot of key information but also shrouding the situation with more fog. He glossed over many important points, ultimately leaving the truth unclear.

Although Fulilian wanted to ask about the various secrets of the Golden Dynasty, the relationship was not that close yet.

Get ready.

With this thought in mind, she began to pack her bags, intending to continue her journey under the cover of night, to avoid any trouble caused by the Grek soldiers following the noise.

After summoning the spirit horse, Melina sat behind him, but for some reason she deliberately kept a distance and didn't come closer. Wouldn't it be tiring to maintain balance while riding at full speed?

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Yes, it's about witches. Fulilian, I'm not your original witch after all. They are completely for the Faded Ones, and I have my own mission, so we may not be together until the end."

"Of course. If you think you should leave, go ahead. I'll be there if you need any help."

You misunderstood, Melina thought. You should not care at all.

Chapter 22: The Underground Grave Where Death Comes

It's not enough to communicate by using riddles. If Melina doesn't clearly point out the mission of the Fire Girl, it will be difficult for Fulilian to understand what she means, and the latter will feel that she is laying the groundwork for asking for help in the future.

She seems to have a mentality: she is happy to open up a character's troubles and then solve them.

What would happen if you expressed your expectations?

I was afraid that Fulilian would complete the task completely, even from Galid to the Holy Tree. But there was no other way but to burn the Golden Tree.

Forget it.

"It's too early to talk about whether to sacrifice or not. We can discuss it later. Don't take it too seriously. I just felt a little emotional after hearing what Bernard said. After all, he doesn't have his own witch."

"I understand, but remember, there are always more solutions than problems."

Melina nodded and changed the subject:

"As for the matter of Morn City, since we didn't learn anything from the Grek soldiers but Bernard told us, the rebellion must have just begun. It has a large army and a strong fortress, and its lord, Edgar, is a master. It should be able to hold out for a long time."

"If you go too early, you won't gain any merit, and you'll likely steal the credit from the defenders. It's better to go slower, as you prefer."

"Besides, the identity of the Faded Ones is not that welcome. If we suddenly approach them when the city defense is tight, it is easy to start a war."

It may sound a bit cold, but it is in the interests of those who fade away.

As Fulilian's witch, she naturally had to think from her partner's perspective. Moreover, she did not think that the city of Moren would fall easily, and perhaps there was no room for it to become famous.

Not in a hurry.

In comparison, the competition with Bernal was the most valuable. In that powerful man's circle, the name of the Demon Sword of Destruction would probably spread quickly, so Melina was not very interested in supporting the nobles loyal to Greg.

"I thought about it. You're right. Besides, if we go slower, we still have a chance to explore the maze."

"So you like to explore every place? Most faded people avoid them."

“That’s part of the joy of traveling, of course.”

Fulilian showed a rare sense of impatience, because there was a breath of death ahead, a dark and deep atmosphere, and there might be good things.

The isolation of the Elf Village did not make her develop a stay-at-home lifestyle. On the contrary, after experiencing the ups and downs of the game, she fell in love with adventure. For example, the small box garden design such as the maze is the best.

"You seem to have been to many places. What hometown could possibly have produced a faded person like you?"

"It's full of war, with monsters called demons slaughtering everything... But compared to the places I went to outside the borders you mentioned, it's better."

As he was speaking, a small stone arch came into view in front of him, but the deadly magic that came towards him was real.

Fulilian took back the spirit horse and carefully observed the cave:

As expected, a large number of skeleton monsters appeared with their fangs and claws bared. They roared, growled, and even held weapons. Sometimes they collided with each other and shattered. After a while, they recovered and wandered around again. They should be undead units.

Melina explained, "After the Night of the Black Blade, a large number of monsters appeared due to the accidental deaths. They carried the pollution of death and were difficult to eliminate..."

She also explained concepts such as tree malfunction, dead roots, and hunting dead borns.

"The above can be said to be one of the disasters directly caused by the Black Blade Night, which has been plaguing the border area for many years."

"So, repairing the magic circle and allowing the world to have the correct death at least reduced this major scourge?"

"Correct."

After sorting out the whole story, Fulilian became more motivated. Now the border area is equivalent to carrying several negative effects. Once they are cleared one by one, you will be given a vibrant world, which is at least acceptable.

The undead are indeed a nuisance and must be eliminated.

Now that you have decided to explore the first maze of the new game, you must be fully prepared. First, light up the exit blessing point, and then open the player perspective:

You have entered the dungeon [Cemetery of Death], which is dominated by Deadborn monsters. The weapons include scimitars, bows and arrows, etc.

It is right to be cautious, after all, the blood on the ground means that the players have failed.

Open Advice:

[Be careful, there are Deathborn ahead. Use Holy Law to attack. If you use the right method, you can kill them instantly.]

[But there isn't one. So annoying! Now I have to look up the guide again.]

【I hate weird mechanisms the most】

[Miss Black Knife (╯▽╰) smells so good~~]

[Just be content, this is one of the few easy dungeons in the early stages. Remember to defeat the boss to get a very useful amulet for pushing the map.]

In addition, Fulilian began to check the bloodstains, and found various ways of death. The most common one was rolling over and over again, then suddenly standing up and stopping, turning into ashes and disappearing.

The difficulty of a maze is not just about the monsters; the narrow space is bound to affect performance.

She sat in the blessed space and prepared various potions, ready to be taken at any time. She then switched to the golden halberd she had obtained by defeating the tree before, and used the golden tree to make an oath to add a buff.

The holy attribute is also easy to deal with. In reality, there is magic against the undead, and now we are going to test it.

Whoosh!

The beam swept across, annihilating its target. The fallen skeleton monster attempted to stand up and fight back, maintaining a gray-white aura throughout its body, and seemed about to resume the fight. However, the next moment, it suddenly collapsed, and finally turned into ash, unable to maintain.

Seeing this, Melina couldn't help but sigh, "Your hometown outside the border is really powerful. You even have methods to deal with the Deadborn."

"It was just an accident. Anyway, it seems to be effective, so it's easy to deal with."

Fulilian was glad that she had collected magic in her daily life.

If you're content with keeping the Elf Village closed, you'll definitely become a weakling. Even if you possess game magic, you won't have the initial capital to start with, and you'll likely be severely tortured by the high-difficulty worlds. Therefore, you must collect as much magic as possible from anywhere.

It is too tiring for one person to do it over and over again. One day when you control a force, you can collect and study it on a large scale.

"let's start."

The silver-haired girl switched to the most commonly used shield and staff style.

Even though she is so strong, it does not affect her ability to sneak in quietly. She will use backstab to kill the enemy whenever she has the chance, and will never fight you outnumbered or head-on.

It is acceptable to observe martial ethics when sparring with fellow human beings, but not when dealing with monsters. In Fulilian's eyes, demons are the same as the dead born and zombies, and should be eliminated.

Under such an unreasonable offensive, the Deadborn collapsed and turned into ashes. They did not pose much threat from beginning to end...

Swish!

Suddenly, several sharp arrows shot out from the dark corner, and the quick-eyed and quick-handed Fulilian easily blocked them.

Only then did she see clearly that the pillars above the maze and the scales were filled with shadowy skeletons. There were so many of them. It was clearly a small maze, but it hid so many enemies. However, today they would all become runes.

Chapter 23 The Black Knife Assassin is Angry

Based on the players' performance, there shouldn't be so many skeleton monsters.

Whatever.

Fulilian knew a long time ago that she was not playing in the same environment as ordinary players. The latter's characters were disabled and their enemies were relatively weak.

My own mechanism is completely worthy of the attribute panel.

So, facing fully formed bosses, who would often fight to the death with gods, their powerful moves could be described as the destruction of cities and nations, and their full power could be described as a natural disaster. Similarly, ordinary imps like to pile up in numbers and often attack in groups.

Therefore, she quickly adapted to the human wave tactics launched by the Deadborn. It was time to use firepower to cover the enemy—

The holy attribute of Fran's rain of arrows.

Fulilian, who has mastered the strengths of hundreds of schools, can now impart different properties to specific magic, without being limited to a specific form.
