Frillian in the Elden Ring

To wait for.

After continuously absorbing the Dragon Tomb, the large amount of scarlet corruption in the town of Selia has indeed reached its limit, and it is impossible to use absorption and purification for the time being.

This also meant that if Fulilian encountered a direct attack from the Scarlet Corruption, she would not have the headdress to cushion the blow, relying instead on her physical strength. Therefore, she spread her perception cautiously, not missing any enemy.

"There are traces of the Valkyrie Marenia blooming here. Maybe the flowers are still there. Perhaps you can take them and use them."

Melina suggested.

Her mind had already followed.

"Good idea, but I also heard that she was carrying a giant scarlet flower when she was rescued by the Holy Tree Army."

"There are too many rumors at the border, and no one knows exactly what happened back then."

"Then they must know, but it's a pity they have lost their rationality."

Melina followed the direction that Fulilian pointed and suddenly found a noble knight.

Despite the passage of thousands of years, the Golden Law and the Scarlet Corruption have retained their power and remain imposing. Slender armor covers every inch of their skin, and they stand tall and majestic, their weapons clenched in their hands and pointed at their enemies.

Enemy attack?

Who could have expected that there were still survivors from that year in the Ionian swamps, and they were powerful knights among the Holy Tree Army.

"Be careful! These warriors were invincible during the Shattered War. Following the Valkyries, they accepted the power of corruption. They are both heroic and powerful top knights—"

Before he finished speaking, a golden halo flew over.

Fulilian retracted her spirit horse and dodged the attack. The sharp edge brushing past her ear made her feel a little chill.

But her attention was not on the Zunfu Knight, because although she had chosen the shore as her foothold, the lake water next to her gradually rose and spread over, as if it were alive and was actively swallowing her.

At the same time, a great and powerful will swept over.

155

Chapter 155 Old Ernie will.

The unusual activity in the Ionian swamps is probably controlled by that goddess.

Melina and Flillian exchanged glances, their minds in sync. They both knew the newcomer had ill intentions and that the influence of the existence that had left such a heavy disaster in Galid was still involved.

The moment it bloomed, Malenia was probably like an Outer God.

Whoosh!

The halo came again, and the Zunfu Knight in front of him would not miss the opportunity of the rising lake water. He immediately launched a violent attack, vowing to take down this powerful enemy in one fell swoop and get another record.

In this situation, Fulilian couldn't easily get airborne, and using the gravity ball as a foothold would make her too easy a target.

So she chose to avoid it.

The silver-haired girl raised a long sword and blocked the attacks one by one. Amidst the crisp sounds of ping-pong, she remained unharmed and her defense was impenetrable.

At the same time, his steps were steady, and although his gaze remained fixed on the Noble Corruption Knight, his foothold avoided all traces of the Corruption Lake. His posture was flawless, his defense and footwork impeccable, and he even used a rebound to nearly throw the Noble Corruption Knight off balance.

Great!

Even the unconscious knight could sense the opponent's unfathomable skills.

One side pursued, while the other side fought and retreated, and a sword-fighting duel took place on the edge of the Corruption Lake. Sparks flew, causing the surrounding corrupt creatures to become restless.

However, Fulilian retreated to the hillside as if it were an impregnable fortress.

This section of the journey made Melina nervous. It was too dangerous. If the Zunfu Knight cooperated with the Corruption Lake to launch a siege, it would be very dangerous.

Sure enough, the lake tide had receded.

"It seems you've been targeted by the Goddess of Corruption."

"I know, but now's not the time to worry. Let's finish the mission first. I feel that general."

Thanks to the boiling of the Ionian swamp, many hidden auras were accidentally exposed. Fulilian, who had the strongest perception present, immediately memorized each target and was ready to go there at any time.

In this case, there is no need to get entangled with the enemy in front of us, just fight quickly and decisively.

clang!

The noble knight didn't expect the silver-haired girl to slash upwards, and the blade hit the middle of the long weapon accurately. The strong vibration almost made it slip out of his hand, and at the same time, a sword energy was released.

He actually released his fighting skills while counterattacking. In a hurry, she quickly blocked it with her sword, and it shattered with a snap.

Fortunately, he managed to block the fatal blow.

I was still terrified. I hadn't imagined someone could perfectly integrate the release of combat skills into the rhythm of battle. Wouldn't that mean every round could unleash a huge threat? I had to maintain my distance, so I'd use my aura and bow to decide the outcome...

However, the other party took out a staff with a sapphire on top.

Fulilian's movements were so fast that she switched weapons in an instant, leaving people unable to react.

There seemed to be a flash of purple light in front of his eyes, and the next moment pain spread throughout his body, causing his noble knight to half-kneel on the ground.

Dark night comet!

The first battle was quite effective. With the help of demigod-level magic, he easily penetrated the armor of the top-tier knight, and it was so unexpected that even such a master had no reaction and was seriously injured.

"No bleeding?"

Melina warned: "Be careful, she is almost a corrupted creature. The resistance of the noble corrupted knight to corruption is beyond ordinary people, but she will eventually not be able to escape."

The corrupted flesh gives this person greater and more enduring combat power.

This was the first time Fulilian had seen someone who could continue fighting despite being covered in scarlet corruption. Regardless of whether he could think or not, his combat wisdom should not be underestimated.

Just treat it as a preview of the Battle of Latarn.

Unfortunately, the boiling lake of corruption leaves no room for peace of mind in the fight.

The pungent smell in the air seemed to incite the monsters to gather, each one more frantic than the last. They surrounded the scene with their teeth bared, glaring at the lone silver-haired girl. Together with the Noble Corruption Knight, they formed a circle.

"Looks like there's going to be some commotion. Hopefully, that won't stop the general from leaving."

Suddenly, Fulilian stuck her staff into the soil, and instantly a shock wave swept from top to bottom, overturning an area of 100 meters in radius.

Blasting bedrock.

The magic used for mining became an excellent tool for destroying terrain in the hands of powerful magicians. The collapsed rubble and soil immediately submerged several corrupt creatures.

Despite their strong bodies, they are still struggling.

But he watched helplessly as a ray of white light rose in the sky, and the crystals scattered and covered everything, and each fragment was enough to shatter his skull.

Whether the monsters were shallowly buried or those that emerged, they all suffered fatal injuries without exception.

When the ground collapses, people who are still standing in place are equivalent to flying. At this moment, Fulilian stands on the gravity ball, overlooking the collapsed slope, and attacks any monster from a high position, without missing a target.

Whoosh!

The halo flew into the sky again and accurately sniped the silver-haired girl.

However, a Topps force field caused it to spin in place, and it kept spinning towards the position of the releaser, arriving in an instant.

The Zunfu Knight was completely caught off guard by this move, and with his severely injured body he had no time to dodge, so he was hit without a doubt.

The corrupt body shattered with a crackling sound.

Even at the last moment, she remained standing, pointing her broken sword at the slowly falling enemy.

The crimson body, unable to reincarnate, returned to the polluted earth, becoming part of something unsure whether to call it plant or animal. It's a shame that such a steadfast knight would become a hotbed of crimson corruption. Is this truly liberating?

Fulilian picked up the spoiled weapon that had fallen to the ground.

【Zunfu Knight Scythe】

[The scythe wielded by the noble knights who fought alongside "Mikaela's Blade" Marenia]

【Weapons held by the Knights' Commanders】

[Semi-circular aura blade, with holy attribute attack power]

In addition, there is a broken sword. After searching around, I found some equipment of the Holy Tree Army. It can be imagined how fierce the battle was back then. Both sides left behind a large amount of supplies and equipment.

When she finished collecting, the boiling Ionian swamp finally came to a rest, but Fulilian didn't think it would stop there.

Just accumulating energy.

Melina asserted, "It seems the general of the Holy Tree Army you're looking for is in this area, but be prepared. Perhaps the Goddess of Corruption has noticed your talent and wants to create a new agent."

"You think so? Shouldn't we be irreconcilable?"

"Because you have demonstrated an extraordinary adaptability to corruption, and are more receptive and use it more frequently than Marennia, the infection yield is high."

"Then her efforts will be in vain."

Fulilian shrugged. No one knew that her body was already bustling enough and there was no room for anyone else.

As the two were discussing, a tall man holding a military flag approached from a distance. His face was weathered, his gaze piercing. Although his body was stained with scarlet corruption, he didn't have that crazy aura.

He glanced at the corpse of the Reverend Corrupted Knight and sighed, "Even if this is the end, it is still a relief. Thank you, Faded One."

"Easy to do."

"...Looking at you like this, I've met a noble new king?"

In the past, Freellian's appearance really made people think that she was an ordinary faded person, especially with the subhuman features of long ears, she was just a piece of shit.

As long as she doesn't actively release her magical aura, others won't even notice it.

This moment is different.

The silver-haired girl, fresh from a seemingly unassuming battle, was filled with overwhelming momentum, her terrifying magical power surging into the sky, even faintly emitting the glow of a magic ring fragment. Indeed, possessing the Great Rune was enough to prove many things.

Look at this luxurious armor again. It is exquisitely crafted, priceless, and quite coordinated, indicating that it was specially made.

The crown on the head is not something you can wear casually, it has a southern craftsman style, and some of the gem carvings have the style of Kalia...

"What's wrong with my face?"

Fulilian only regarded the crown as a small piece of equipment that provided some resistance, and had accepted decorations from the magic academy before, but she didn't know that it was full of knowledge and every detail was carefully considered.

In the eyes of those who truly understand the royal family of the border area, the identity is very obvious.

Her features directly represent the king who ruled Nimgefu, the Lienia region.

"I never imagined such dramatic changes would happen in the swamp over the years I've been here. I think I know why those bloody fingers and corrupted creatures have become so active. It's because of you."

"It is."

"My name is O'Neill, one of the generals of the Holy Tree Army. What can I do for you, Your Majesty?"

"My name is Fulilian, and I'm here to get the Pure Gold Needle."

The silver-haired girl spoke in a calm tone, as if she was simply holding a collectible that she was determined to obtain. Upon hearing this, the old general raised his eyebrows, thinking, "He's coming for me. I can't easily send a Fragment King away."

At the same time, he felt that a large army was rushing towards this side in the distance, and most likely it belonged to this extraordinary new fragment king.

Honestly, O'Neal really wanted to find out what this legendary figure had been through, and ask about the situation at the border, but he still stuck to the main point:

"How much do you know about pure gold needles?"

"I only know it can suppress the Crimson Corruption... Could it be that the effect is what you are experiencing now?"

"Correct."

The old general generously lifted up his clothes, revealing a thin golden needle inserted into his chest, which was also inserted into the infected, scarlet and rotten skin, firmly blocking the spread of erosion.

It goes without saying that once it is pulled out, it will be very dangerous.

Fulilian scratched her head and muttered, "I thought it was a consumable item, but it turns out it needs to remain inserted into the body. Fortunately, we didn't engage in combat, otherwise, with my style, it would be difficult not to destroy the Pure Gold Needle."

"But it's still very difficult now. For you, taking away the golden needle is equivalent to death, right?"

Her honesty earned O'Neill a sincere response:

"Death? There's no real death at the border. I've lived a fulfilled life. Staying in the Corruption Lake is just a way to eliminate monsters and prevent them from spreading."

"You are an excellent warrior."

"Your Majesty, I knew who you were the moment I saw you. Even if I am mistaken in my old age, the nobles and people of Nimgefu and Lienia will not be mistaken. You must be a great king."

Then he gestured at his temple. "And who has the courage to wear an Ionian flower on their hair? Apparently you've also developed a method to purify corruption, so I'm willing to entrust the golden needle to you."

"It's convenient to talk to people who are well-informed. Yes, I actually need the Pure Gold Needle to save someone..."

Flillian explained the whole story about Millicent.
