Frillian in the Elden Ring

You should be able to be liberated safely in front of the founder of soul magic.

The silver-haired girl stood up after a while. In fact, she checked the advice on the ground and found that a kind player had told her where Letina was. In that case, there was no need to waste time.

"I know where the person is and they're leaving soon. What are you going to do?"

"Return to the Round Table Hall."

Nepheli, who hated evil, answered firmly, and even if she had probably guessed the answer, she would still express it clearly in person.

Everyone has their own unshakable will, so Fulilian will not stop or persuade her friend, even if her friend may be in danger. Of course, with Sir Baizhi's personality, he probably doesn't take it seriously. It's nothing more than slaughtering a village and a rebellious child.

The female warrior waved goodbye, her figure seemed a little hurried, as if everything in Platinum Village was condemning her and she had to rush back as soon as possible.

Suddenly she stopped, turned around and said loudly:

"Flillian, the guild you established in Stonewell City and the protection you provided to the Faded allow us to live a life similar to that of mercenaries. Since we have been blessed and summoned, we should serve as men of justice. Thank you for giving my colleagues this opportunity."

"You take your own chances, but I've heard reports that everyone's doing a good job."

"My foster father once said that no one in the world could be king anymore. I think Sir Baizhi might have miscalculated one day. He was speaking from a systemic perspective, thinking that knowing secrets unknown to others would give him the upper hand."

"——That's totally wrong. The king reigns supreme because of his strength and character. It's the will of the people. Flillian, you must possess the bearing of the King of Elden."

"Farewell."

Nepheli smiled and then left in big strides.

Fulilian, who remained where she was, wondered why Sir Baizhi believed that no more kings would emerge. Was the reason the Golden Tree system was the cause?

Forget it, I shouldn’t follow the thinking of that kind of weird person.

She would reign over the royal city no matter what, not just for herself. Too many people expected the Soul Fire King to rule the border area, and she could not ignore the enthusiasm of her supporters along the way.

"That warrior had a sense of confusion, a sense of a shattered worldview."

Melina murmured, "After all, the faith I've always held fast to has been denied. What a shame."

"She'll make it through. The key is not to get stuck in a rut. There are always more solutions than problems."

“Maybe that day will come for me.”

"I am here."

The light-hearted words from Fulilian made her slightly startled. Indeed, there was probably nothing in the world that could shake the Faded Ones. This kind of determination could not help but infect others.

If it weren't for Fulilian's strength and example, Nefeli would probably be even more confused.

What about me? After Melina learned about the Shadow Land and other secrets hidden by Marika, I felt that my mission was not so grand anymore.

She should understand the full picture of the matter and not add any fantasies of sacrificing herself to save the world. Not only for her own life, but also to help her partner understand the truth about the border area before making a decision.

"Also, that secret symbol refers to the sacred tree. How much do you know about it?"

"I only know it's a paradise nurtured by the god-man Michaela and the home of the Valkyrie Marenia...but why does Elpath feel so welcome there?"

"Because the Creator advocates equality among all races, everyone is working together to build the Holy Tree, and even the Sons of Platinum are active."

“That’s a great ideal.”

Fulilian looked at Michaela's achievements with a high regard.

It is too difficult to advocate tolerance in the border area. Admittedly, apart from the special existence of Evil Omen and Dianhuo, other Sons of Platinum are somewhat affected by discrimination, but prejudice is not so easy to break.

Since the sacred tree is still alive, it proves that this road has been continued and that we have gone quite far.

"It turns out that this secret symbol leads to a paradise."

Fulilian muttered to herself as she weighed the treasure. She had no desire for it and she would do what she promised, but she was very interested in the sacred tree.

The northernmost?

Unfortunately, it is too far away. If you can't even get through the Yatan Plateau, everything will be in vain. The paradise created by gods can only be explored in the future. Anyway, you will have to see it sooner or later.

"Even though Michaela is missing, how does she compare to Lani?"

"I haven't met him in person... but judging solely by his deeds, he's a natural leader with great ability and charisma."

"So more people think that besides Malika, Michaela is the only one who is suitable to be a god."

"You have to see it with your own eyes to know it. I do have some good eyes for judging people."

Melina couldn't help but feel regretful.

"You have a very good eye for people, don't you? You're just trying things out because you're not afraid of getting ripped off. You obviously trust everyone you meet, and you always respond to requests."

She changed the subject: "But this is what a true king is like, trusting others and not hesitating to lend a hand."

"Except for Patch, just to be clear."

"I won't waste your time. Now that you know Letina's location, let's go immediately. As you should, helping one more person means you have one more ally."

Upon hearing this, Fulilian immediately summoned the spirit horse, and she sat behind Qun and headed towards the cave at the edge of the lake.

If Melina were to give her opinion, she would say that the accomplished Michaela was too detached, as if she were standing at a bird's-eye view, testing the integration of each race. The atmosphere was the same as when they were studying magic together.

Although it's common to judge by deeds rather than by heart, it's impossible not to see Michaela clearly. Of course, no matter which witch she chooses, she will support her to the end.

Half a day later.

Torret, who had been galloping, arrived in front of a crystal cave.

A chilly air washed over me, a rare sight in the perpetually summery Lienia. It suggested a considerable depth. A closer look revealed traces of fighting on the cave walls, suggesting the presence of a monster.

After getting off the horse, Fulilian lit up the blessing and used the staff and shield configuration as usual.

Regardless of your strength, it is never too careful when exploring a maze. Strong enemies will most likely attack you openly, but those guys hiding in dark corners will have no taboos.

Sure enough, a monster appeared.

They are shaped like snails, raising their heads to spit out crystalline shells. Even though they are not fast, they are threatening due to their numerical advantage.

Facing a type with a simple attack path, she opted to use the Tops force field to deflect it. With a bang, the cannonball, under exquisite magical control, returned along its original path, shattering several monsters. It wasn't over yet; next came Fulilian's bombardment.

High Mo shells!

The attack, combined with tremendous magical power, instantly overwhelmed the target, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Facing a non-human monster, Fulilian never showed mercy, treating it as a test of new magic, so the sea shells whizzed away in her hands, each one exploding with a shockwave. The earth and rocks violently attacked, and flames swept across.

The attackers thought the enemy would be wary of the narrow terrain, but they saw the silver-haired girl bombarding indiscriminately.

If there were landslides, they would use their shields to block them. If there were falling rocks, they would dodge them. As for the flames and smoke, they basically ignored them. Their powerful physique and immense magical power overwhelmed the cave battlefield, killing their targets one after another.

After a while, the entrance was finally clear.

There is another reason for being so ruthless. This place is not far from the ruins that are about to be rebuilt. It will be troublesome if a group of monsters are released.

Instead of waiting for them to come out and make trouble, you might as well take the initiative to clean them up.

Lake Lienia is the next key business area that cannot be lost, so when Fulilian saw these monsters, she wiped them out with thundering force.

"What an exaggeration."

This was the first time Melina witnessed someone blowing up in a cave combat environment. It was striking how daring he was and how reckless he was. If it triggered a landslide, the noise would only get worse... Wait, there's a barrier protecting the outside.

The caster had also thought of the place she thought of, so he used a defensive barrier to separate the dome in advance.

As long as the supporting rocks are not destroyed, it is difficult to trigger a chain collapse.

Rough yet meticulous, worthy of Fulilian's combat experience. Melina, relieved, followed the footsteps and moved downwards. Under her feet was a spiral slope extending into the darkness.

The cave generally appears to be in a spiral sinking shape.

At the same time, she felt a huge amount of mental energy continuously scanning. This kind of luxurious output ability was only supported by demigods, but it was used in a place that ordinary people would hardly think of:

Treasure hunt.

Since entering the cave, Fulilian has been searching for treasure while fighting, checking every corner.

"Finally found it! There should be a treasure chest in a place like this!"

After a while, Melina saw her partner running over in a hurry. She really found it. Her sense of smell for treasure chests was indeed far inferior. Even in the border areas, few people were interested in dusty things because they thought it was dangerous.

Obtained the [Spear Amulet] item.

[A charm made with the image of a spear and a soldier, which strengthens the counterattack unique to thrust attacks]

In border areas, it is common to see soldiers using spears.

[When encountering a strong enemy, you can sometimes launch an effective counterattack]

After taking a look at the description, Fulilian was a little disappointed. Neither the amulet's effect nor its introduction had any special value, and she could not use it at all.

It's a collectible after all. According to players' comments, the "shield poke flow" can be useful sometimes, just in case you need it in the future.

After receiving the treasure, the silver-haired girl continued to move forward. It turned out that the crystal cave was deeper than she had imagined, almost vertically downwards. There were many monsters lying in ambush in the gaps in the surrounding rock walls, releasing long-range attacks.

Rumble!

What awaits them is, of course, an even stronger counterattack. Not a single one will be spared. The attacks are both precise and powerful. The corpses of the monsters keep falling straight from great heights and smashing to pieces.

Suddenly, Melina noticed that Fulilian's pace was gradually slowing down. She crouched low, ready to strike. Then, a hound knight climbed up the cave wall and roared wildly in their direction. He was wearing full armor, and the metallic luster gleamed in the darkness, looking extraordinary and heroic.

"...When fighting in this kind of environment, be careful and keep a close eye on the enemy's movements."

"Of course, we can't give him a chance."

The continuous explosions attracted the attention of the Hound Knight. Relying on his fighting instinct, he climbed to the other side of the rock wall with a few jumps and watched eagerly.

He did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for the monsters to gather. Sure enough, they accumulated magic and aimed at the target from all directions. Even the strongest defense would have flaws, and that was when he would reap the rewards.

What's more, you can bomb the rocks to make them fall. Even if the invader is very strong, he will be injured and there is a chance to kill him!

Whoosh!

However, no one expected that the silver-haired girl would leap into the darkness and fall to the bottom of the cave on her own initiative.

126

Chapter 126 It’s okay if you are a cripple.

What a madman!

As the hound knights and monsters watched Fulilian disappear into the darkness, they couldn't help but admire her decisiveness, daring to escape such a disadvantageous situation. So, only one question remained: Did she die from the fall?

There was no immediate sound from the ground, perhaps the cave was deep enough and we hadn't reached the bottom yet...

There was a loud bang accompanied by a brilliant blue light, and the rock wall trembled rumblingly and rocks fell down.

"Using the reaction force to land, you are really good."

Even Melina, familiar with Fulilian, felt a pang of fear. She hadn't expected her to force her way down, from the middle of the cave to the bottom. Her imagination and control of magic were extraordinary, and most importantly, her courage.

Flying in the border area is not easy, and fall damage does exist. It requires extremely strong control to be able to take such a risk. Details determine success or failure.

"This is the best angle."

Fulilian stepped on the solid ground and at the same time raised her staff, the tip of which lit up with light.

In the darkness, the enemy could no longer see the bottom of the cave, and it was almost the same for herself, but a powerful wizard should have magical perception, so the target was very obvious to her.

Whizzing!

A continuous stream of pyroxene meteors sniped from the air, selecting targets one by one without missing a single shot, and their accuracy remained unchanged even after spanning hundreds of meters. What was even more terrifying was that their power did not diminish at all, and they could kill targets almost instantly.

Their numbers kept decreasing, but they couldn't find the enemy and couldn't even see the attack path clearly.

By the time the pyroxene glow appeared within the visible range, it was already too late.

I had originally planned to surround the target in the rock wall area and completely kill the invader. Unexpectedly, the enemy jumped out of the disadvantageous situation, and now it was the stage for super-range magic.

Hidden in the darkness, Fulilian continued to harvest targets and hit the target with great accuracy.

Countless snail monsters fell like raindrops, and the shooting magic that she was proud of never touched the corner of the silver-haired girl's clothes.

The situation is already clear.

They were defeated by the snipers one after another.

Melina's greatest confidence lies in the Faded One's combat instincts, which always find ways to achieve a significant result with minimal effort. The cave battle, initially unfavorable to her, was instantly reversed, leaving the enemy powerless and unable to resist.

She is a professional in dealing with these enemies who like to set all kinds of traps. After all, she has been through hundreds of battles. You can tell from her skillful movements and keen judgment.

Fulilian had experienced many battles outside the border area and was familiar with facing them.

Pfft!
