Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Travel around the borderland to find out my origins."

"That's good, but always remember to embrace the passion for life and don't be defeated by the scarlet corruption. If you have any difficulties, be sure to ask Lady Fulilian. Will you help?"

"must."

"I heard that King Soul Firewood is willing to help others and make friends. His reputation is well-deserved."

Although he was not very clear about the news from the border area, O'Neill knew from the companions who came one after another to help Fulilian when she was in crisis that a person's character can often be judged largely from the character of his friends.

Since everyone chose her and gave her their full support in the battle, he was willing to trust her.

"Flillian, will I become a corrupted creature after I die?"

"That won't happen while I'm here."

"Millicent, handing the Pure Golden Needle over to you is the best option, but it's destined to be short-lived. You can go to the Sacred Tree to look for clues."

"I understand. I'll bring your regards."

Finally, O'Neill handed the flag to the silver-haired girl and said, "It will be useful to a commander like you. This is all I can do. You two, please go ahead."

He closed his eyes and spent the last moment of his life facing the northernmost sacred tree.

Farewell.

Fulilian put her hands together and performed a priest's ritual. Now that she had dispelled the goddess of corruption, she could use magic. She took back her magic power and cast soul healing to protect her from being eroded by the scarlet corruption and let her return to the tree.

Although there is an accident with the reincarnation system of the Golden Tree now, it can be repaired in the future. Let’s comfort the soul first.

The fading of the golden light signifies the end of a battle.

At this time, Millicent was silent for a long time, stroking the sword as if savoring the insights gained from the battle. She was sure that her swordsmanship would be able to improve further.

"Melina, are you okay?"

Before he could finish his words, the figure of a girl in a black cloak appeared beside him, her single eye flickering with a mixture of emotions. Her face held a lingering sense of relief, yet also a hint of reproach, a genuine dilemma.

Of course, she was more grateful to her partner for standing up for her, otherwise she would have been in danger.

"You took a huge risk just now. You shouldn't have given up your defense for me, but the result is good after all. Thank you."

"That's good."

The two of them just nodded and made eye contact, and everything was said without words. As for the past of Frillian mentioned by the Goddess of Corruption, she remained silent, and she would know when the time came.

The silver-haired girl turned around and began to study the weapon entrusted to her by the old general, while Melina was worried.

Could it be that the Blood Dynasty has a Fragment King?

The situation would become even more complicated, and the possibility of a hidden conspiracy could not be ruled out. Perhaps they were targeting the Great Runes of the two Fragment Kings, planning a winner-takes-all situation? However, she felt that the Southern Army and the Red Lion Army, now united in their hatred of the enemy, might be able to fight.

And I can also use the golden tree to pray, which can help a little and share the pressure in group healing.

Melina was lost in thought, while Fulilian put all her worries aside and began to study:

Veteran's Flag

So that's really the name. It's quite simple, but the important thing is the performance. She noticed the effect of this special combat skill as early as the beginning of the battle.

[A weapon with a tattered red flag wrapped around an old halberd]

[The master he served has disappeared, and is now in the ruins of a corrupted battlefield]

[Veteran O'Neal still holds high this banner──]

[The old man, alone, is proud of the war]

The introduction should be about the background of the Ionian War. The expedition launched by the Holy Tree Army across the border area was indeed a feat. Furlin, who also led an army, knew that being able to arrive in an organized manner was considered a strict organization, which was indeed worthy of their pride.

Sooner or later, the tempered Southern Army will reach the level of the Holy Tree Army, or even surpass it, otherwise it will never be able to accomplish the unprecedented task of conquering the Royal City.

[Exclusive combat skills: Become your subordinate]

[A combat technique that involves raising the military flag high and issuing orders with a valiant attitude]

[Can enhance the attack and defense of yourself and the surrounding friendly characters]

Fulilian has already seen the power of this weapon. It is indeed suitable for legion combat and is also effective for herself.

Now there will be another "regular stacking enhancement item", which is especially important for magicians. As long as enough stacks are stacked, a devastating move can be launched with outstanding effects.

The amount of buff magic on hand gradually became more and more abundant.

Great harvest.

Although it is extremely dangerous in the eyes of most people, she values the benefits more. A military flag will be of great benefit to the entire Southern Army.

Thinking of this, the silver-haired girl waved the flag, and the infused magic power indeed released a circle of benefits. If she guessed correctly, the more magic power was added, the wider the range of effect would be, which was perfect for large-scale battlefields.

She also checked the players' comments, and sure enough, they were all very positive:

[I finally finished beating the Scarlet Corruption. I did it.]

[One more essential step in monkey show]

I love the sound of the old general's flag. I have to use Azrael right now.

[Based on the current progress, I've collected quite a few stackable buffs. If I use this move, you'll owe me a tube of health.]

[Don't forget there are good things in the Corruption Lake, such as the Meteorite Rod and the Rock Ball]

Fulilian had heard that Galid was full of treasures, so she had been keeping an eye out. She seemed to have mentioned the ruins. It should be the one within her range. She could collect them all when the time came, even if she didn't need them much right now.

While Edgar and his team were immersed in the research of combat skills, they arrived. After seeing the silver-haired girl's expression as if she was studying without paying attention to anyone else, they knew that everything was fine and normal.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with that Ionian flower?"

Everyone looked towards the center of the lake, where a huge scarlet flower bud was blooming.

Stay away.

Everyone present had only one thought about the Ionian flower, which was to quickly seal it up and evacuate, out of sight, out of mind.

However, the opinion of the biggest contributor, Frillian, is the most important. Since she has been facing the threat on the front line and has not chosen to leave in disgrace, then everyone is willing to accompany and witness it together. Do you have any other way?

The silver-haired girl looked around and asked, "What do you think of the swamp now?"

Everyone also looked around and thought carefully.

A gentle breeze blew across the hollow where the lake had dried up, carrying away the stench of decay. The riverbed was cracked, its crevices filled with bones, but at least it no longer emanated the crimson smell of decay.

It is now just an ordinary lowland area, barren and desolate, the same red as its surroundings.

Except this flower.

The Red Lion's soldiers felt a strong déjà vu of the Valkyrie's creation. Could it be so terrifying? Now that it had absorbed all the water from the Corrupted Lake, would something unexpected happen?

"I think the biggest danger has actually been contained."

"It's better than before anyway, and the roads that were cut off by the swamp can be reopened."

"It's not bad at all."

Everyone expressed their approval, but the silver-haired girl standing in the center shook her head, still dissatisfied with the current result.

Jie Lian asked, "Respected Soul Fire King, you don't intend to take this flower away completely and purify it at the same time, do you?"

"Correct."

The resolute answer astonished everyone. Although the Ionian flower posed a risk even if kept for just one day, Fulilian, having just finished her battle, showed no sign of resting? Was she determined to complete an unprecedented feat in one go?

This will to challenge oneself is unshakable. The so-called courage comes from within, that is, it has an all-encompassing ambition. No wonder he can rule over both places.

Now they are both looking forward to it and worried about whether it will get out of control?

"It's too risky. Your Majesty should prioritize your own safety."

"But if we delay any further, there's no guarantee that this Ionian flower will be used."

"There's no way to guarantee that the demigod of the Blood Dynasty is still around."

"It doesn't matter."

Fulilian continued in a cold voice, "A sneak attacker who can't stand on the stage will never be worthy of the throne. I have seen many kings who have the courage to do evil. But that lurking person will pay the price if he attacks again."

She said this specifically for the other party's ears and eyes. Indeed, after hearing it, Mengge was furious and determined to kill the Soul Fire King.

Then the silver-haired girl stood gracefully on the petals, as if she was ready.

"Not only do I need to purify the Corrupted Swamp, I also want to use it as a center to spread the life force throughout the entire Galid region. Don't worry if I'm pushing myself. The first time I managed to collect the Ionian flowers and activate the flower fields."

"Stay away or witness it here, it's up to you."

There was total silence.

"I am old and have seen too many evil deeds. I always doubt your Majesty's actions."

Jie Lian was shocked and said, "But now I believe it."

"It's okay. I'm not trying to gain anyone's trust."

"Why are you willing to go to such lengths? You can remain calm even when the Great Rune is right in front of you."

"I've seen too many miserable places, and the borderland is relatively hopeful among them. The scenery here is beautiful, and I want to see what abundance will look like once again. You can even forget what I did; I just want to witness a brand new look. Furthermore, a companion has asked me to repair the damage caused by the shattering of the Elden Ring, so I'll do my best."

Fulilian's answer was too simple, but the facts were before her eyes, and there was no need for such a strong person to hide anything.

The soldiers of the Red Lion Army immediately saluted solemnly and decided not to leave, but to stay and witness the event.

There is no need to say much about the Southern Army.

After all, when Edgar chose his new lord, he had decided to live and die together, and the fiefdom was represented by his daughter Irena. Now he is just a general who is on expedition to all directions.

Melina's voice was filled with anticipation: "You will create miracles."

The silver-haired girl nodded as everyone's attention converged on her.

"start."

Before she finished speaking, Fulilian gently stepped on the flower, and the huge flower bud below flowed between her hands, rapidly shrinking. She held up the Ionian flower, as if lifting the scarlet energy between heaven and earth, absorbing it beyond the swamp.

The silver-haired girl clenched her large hands lightly, and in a grasping posture, she also fixed the huge energy that was diffused, and the wind and clouds in all directions condensed into one point.

She absorbed the scarlet corruption with focus and boldness, continuously putting it into the Ionian Flower.

For a moment the sky was clear.

The scarlet aura of corruption that had shrouded the area year-round actually dissipated, and some Red Lion soldiers couldn't help but shed tears.

"So that's how it is. I almost forgot the original color of the sky."

The sky above the Ionian Swamps, no, the sky above the area that should now be called the Ionian Depression seemed to have been hollowed out, spreading the light of the golden tree and tiny stars.

People gazed into the distance in fascination. If General Latarn had sealed the stars, then Flillian had allowed Galide to see them again. Fate would always change, and we always looked forward. The borderland was changing.

The Rani doll on Blaze's shoulder gazed for a long time, and the twinkling stars revealed the fate of the royal family of Kalia.

good omen.

At least it gives people a sense of certainty.

Looking at Fulilian who was immersed in magic research, the wind brought by the scarlet power blew her silver hair. An ordinary person would have been frightened, but this person smiled with interest.

Lani has to admit that you are the most pure magician in the borderland.

"There may be an earthquake next, so everyone be careful."

Before he finished speaking, the ground began to fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye, losing its red color, as if a tide was gathering towards Fulilian's position.

She is summoning Crimson Corruption.

Wherever the energy passed, it instantly triggered a massive vibration, rumbling sounds, and dust flew up, like a tidal wave of flying sand and rocks. However, everyone still faced it without flinching, watching it all merge into the Ionian flower controlled by Fulilian.

This is truly crazy behavior, and it actually actively absorbs a larger range of scarlet corruption.

Now, those who have watched the whole process are already numb. The word "audacious" is not enough to describe it. This is the ultimate spirit of seeking the truth of a magic researcher, and the danger has long been disregarded.

You are so cruel.

I guess the goddess of corruption didn't expect that someone would interrupt her corruption in this way, and the situation was reversed.

"Now I will put away the Ionian flower. Its history of blooming in Gelid should come to an end. Right? I wonder if the gods are still around."

The Crimson Corruption roared, and a wisp of the Outer God's obsession dissipated.

Fulilian clasped her hands together, and the huge red bud shrank immediately, flowing like silk between her fingers. It felt nothing like tucking in a handkerchief.

She succeeded.
