Frillian in the Elden Ring

However, the softness and flexibility of the Flowing Water Sword Technique was not afraid of this kind of environment. The red-haired girl easily avoided it while swinging out sword lights, covering the blind spots at different angles.

boom!

Suddenly, the opponent stepped on the forked blade, causing the sword to bounce up, sweeping across and blocking the attack. The next move was an upward thrust. Indeed, the recoil was so strong that it spun upward, and the edge almost grazed Millicent's cheek.

The attack rhythm of the Flowing Water Sword Technique was interrupted, and the dominant power returned to Fulilian.

Once she starts to attack, it will be like a storm without a moment's respite, and the frequency is frighteningly high.

The swiftness of wielding two weapons of different sizes simultaneously made her movements difficult to predict, as there was no precedent for this.

Sometimes he would charge with a hound's pace and a greatsword on his back.

Sometimes the moon is hidden and the sword light covers it.

Free and easy Flillian didn't seem to be fighting anyone, it was more like a solo performance, and Millicent had to try her best to avoid being defeated quickly.

Wow!

The sword energy swept through their path, easily destroying the piles of rubble and ruins. The once dilapidated Sage Town was transformed into a battle arena by the two sword dances, with swords flashing and sabers flashing, and smoke and dust covering the sky. However, in their excitement, their movements accelerated, and they were full of energy and exhilaration.

The sparring was clearly visible from the camp not far away. I didn't expect that they would start sparring after only two days of rest. You two must have had the same train of thought.

"It's bad. Her Majesty has found a good partner who is too energetic and can go crazy with her."

"This is so lively! It looks like the training grounds on the outskirts of the city are going to be expanded, as are the defensive barriers."

"You should be thankful that Miss Millicent is not a magician."

"I've never heard of this person before. His swordsmanship is so strong!"

"Will you join?"

"She doesn't just pull people in. If she's a friend, she probably wants them to be free."

"Your Majesty's swordsmanship is quite impressive. Hey, haven't you Red Lions seen the Valkyries? How do they compare?"

"Millicent and Marenia's swordsmanship seems..."

While it's difficult for ordinary soldiers to evaluate swordsmanship, it's clear that the Liushui style is very similar. Even if this technique was once popular, it doesn't mean that two different users would be so similar.

Of course, they didn't think much about it. They just felt that the unknown one-armed swordsman was indeed powerful, and he was the only one who could withstand the Soul Fire King's attack for so long.

boom!

There was a crisp sound and a corner of Millicent's sword broke.

"Would you like me to give you a suitable weapon? I actually have quite a few that would suit you."

Fulilian paused her attack and suggested, "Otherwise, my weapon advantage is too great."

"That's okay. A good swordsman will protect his weapon while fighting. Let's continue."

Now the situation has never been better.

Hearing this, the silver-haired girl no longer hesitated, and her two swords became more agile and impenetrable.

Even so, Millicent always found openings, sometimes deflecting, sometimes dodging, defending more than attacking, but she managed to hold on. It was clear that Fulilian didn't hold back when it came to swordsmanship, giving it her all and showing respect.

For some reason, every collision made the scarlet corruption fade away, as if a force of fire was dispelling the pain.

It was so integrated into the attack that the attacker probably didn't even notice it.

That's right.

This was the battle she wanted. Her body, skills, and will were all perfect. Her blood was boiling, her body was getting lighter and lighter, and she attacked based on her intuition.

Water Bird Dance was launched again, with even greater speed and range.

Fulilian felt the greatsword being deflected first, and immediately reacted to meet it head-on with the Moon Hidden Blade, but the unpredictable attack path circumvented it. The continuous misses did not affect her movements. She jumped to avoid a wave, and the knife light passed through her long pointed ears, leaving a bloody mark.

Roll again to avoid another wave.

However, unexpectedly, the water birds continued to dance wildly, even bringing together sword energy from all directions.

This cannot be avoided, face it head-on!

With the determination to inflict severe damage to the opponent before healing, the silver-haired girl swung her greatsword to activate her enhanced combat skills, and then smashed Millicent's sword like a door panel, disintegrating it immediately.

click!

The legendary weapon was still stronger, but Fulilian had not expected this result, so she quickly restrained her strength to avoid accidental injury.

She dodged the flying debris with a light movement, leaped onto the Sword Skeleton Greatsword, and safely avoided the attack. The two of them stared at each other in silence, their sparring interrupted.

He was fighting freely just a moment ago, but it suddenly stopped.

Even if I find another weapon for Millicent as a supplement, I can't return to this state.

"That's it for now."

The initiator continued, "If I continue, I'll lose. My swordsmanship is still unstable and needs further refinement. Thank you, Fulilian. Your techniques have inspired me a lot. I'm sure the Flowing Water Swordsmanship will reach new heights."

The red-haired girl pretended to go to the other side to rest.

"Wait, I have a lot of weapons. Consider this as compensation. How about you pick one?"

Flillian hopes the collection will be put to use.

However, Millicent quickly waved her hands and said, "You gave me too much..."

"How about you join me in the battle festival later as payment for my weapon?"

After a moment's hesitation she nodded.

"I have curved swords, straight swords, large curved swords, and knives. What type do you want?"

"Straight sword."

Upon hearing this, Fulilian began to search among the equipment, eliminating those at the border first because the reserves were insufficient, and high-quality and enhanced ones were even rarer. So she chose from the Dark Souls world, where there were a lot of straight swords.

Although she felt that Millicent was suitable for wielding curved swords and scimitars, her physique also had to be considered. As she was petite, she might not be able to use a blade with a large curvature, and it would be difficult for her to control the distance.

What's more, the weapon type is not that important. No matter what you choose, a fully enhanced and high-quality collection will be strong enough.

Suddenly a familiar weapon came into view.

"That's it."

Flillian handed Millicent the plain, cross-shaped, gray straight sword.

The latter was surprised to find that it contained the most extreme forging enhancement after weighing it for a while, with unimaginable resources invested, and it also emitted a sun-like warmth that could slightly suppress corruption.

"The Sun Straight Sword is used by a group of assisting knights who often help others. I've received a lot of care from them, so it's only fitting that I hand it over to a new comrade now."

"It contains the power of thunder and lightning and the combat skills of the Sun's Oath. It will increase the supply and damage reduction for itself and its surroundings."

It couldn't be more appropriate.

Previously, the player Jianyan mentioned to Fulilian that Millicent had assisted in battle the most times.

It reminds me of the Sun Knight Solar, so handing over his beloved sword does give him a sense of inheritance, and this weapon possesses the power of sunlight, which fits perfectly with the primordial fire energy he delivers.

Yes, she sent a strand of it in while she was changing hands.

The Corrupted Goddess and her corrupt followers are likely to linger around, so if you want to make a fuss about Millicent, it's best to take precautions in advance. There's also another simple reason:

Fully enhanced.

I have quite a few high-quality and highly enhanced items, but not many of them are at the maximum level.

It just so happens that the Sun Straight Sword is of the highest grade, and it would be like a pearl covered in dust if it were in her hands. It would be better to let a top swordsman use it.

Millicent performed a few sword moves with ease.

"I'm sorry to bother you... A weapon can reveal a lot about a person's character. The previous owner must have been strong, resolute, and passionate, something I don't possess now. You've taken good care of it while I kept it, so I'm sure there's a story behind it."

"Thank you. Don't worry, I will let it continue to bloom at the border."

"As you said, Flillian, the first stage will be the battle festival. I will challenge the strongest demigod, Ratan, with you."

Now she longs for higher-level combat training.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Then, after listening to the explanation of combat skills, Millicent went to the other side to rest. After all, she was still a patient with corruption disease and had just had the pure gold needle inserted, so she couldn't consume too much energy.

The silver-haired girl who stayed where she was stretched out, also very happy.

Having helped one of the key figures in Galeide, recognized by the players, and having seen a new sword technique, it was quite a rewarding experience. There were no more problems to deal with, and everything was on track. All that was left was to proceed step by step.

Due to the battle with the Goddess of Corruption, everyone decided to rest for a few more days before the festival and then go to the Dune Battlefield.

Fulilian looked at the skyline. The energy of gravity magic never dissipated and filled the sky.

I don’t know what level of war is waiting for me.

"So there's something about Millicent that you value?"

Melina, who had been watching for a long time, asked.

"Correct."

"Where exactly?"

The reason is, of course, the recommendation of the players. Since they are full of praise, they must have skills and it is of great importance. But I have to answer it in a different way:

"You heard what O'Neill said. She's related to the Valkyrie. And Millicent is indeed an excellent swordsman. It's always a good thing to have an extra helper at this stage. It will come in handy later."

"It's rare for a collector like you to give away a treasure."

"I like to collect but I'm not a miser. Melina, when you have a body, I will give you a gift too."

Upon hearing this, the witch remained silent, because this answer seemed like her previous question was just a temper tantrum, a request... Is this what Fulilian thought?

That day is still far away, and who knows the performance of the Eternal City's bionic teardrop.

"Although Gaileed's exploration is not yet complete, the Red Lion City is the most dangerous battle. You must win."

"Normally you'd say be careful."

"Because I gradually realized that my fader had a domineering nature in his bones. He wanted to win again and again, and was full of the desire to win."

"Have it?"

Fulilian hadn't been sure about this all along, so she'd just assume it was. Therefore, the battle festival was the perfect stage to fully unleash the long-accumulated fighting spirit, and it was time to reclaim the title of the strongest demigod.

At the same time, in the world beneath the Flower Field Wetland, there is the Blood Dynasty.

The last batch of the Sons of Platinum's army has been assembled, along with a large number of creatures infected by cursed blood. The power from the Mother of Truth blesses the army.

They are baring their teeth and claws, looking forward to a fight.

After reviewing the troops, Ampah muttered, "We have enough numbers, but we lack organization."

A Blood Noble said, "Your Excellency the Knight Commander's worries are unnecessary. We are not going to directly engage in battle with the Southern Army or the Red Lion Army. Besides, they have already been decimated. We are all grateful for Your Majesty's planning during the Second Ionian War."

"We can't compromise on military matters."

"But we're running out of time. No one knows if the battle festival will be held earlier. Timing is crucial."

"That's all I have to do for now, but I'll do a final selection and only use the most elite. The rest of the unqualified ones are meaningless in the Demigod battlefield, and our opponent is that Soul Fire King."

"Well, hurry up. Your Majesty's clone has become unstable since being injured by Fulilian. It's best to start the battle while it can still be maintained."

The two of them rigorously discussed the specific marching strategy...

Very tedious.

In fact, the Blood Dynasty has never planned large-scale military operations. Most of its operations are based on intelligence work such as assassination, harassment, and guerrilla warfare. This war machine has not yet been tested.

To put it in a positive way, it is focused on espionage work and continues to grow and develop behind the scenes.

At worst, they are lagging behind the times.

There will be no problem in the first ten years, because except for the royal city and the sacred tree, the border areas are all in disrepair and lack organized and well-trained armies. Everyone starts from the same starting line and no one should look down on anyone else. It will not be too late to have a lively competition then.

Fulilian's arrival at the border changed everything. The original Nimgerfu on the ground was broken and rebuilt, and a force emerged that surpassed the Storm King.

She then went on to integrate the Magic Academy, the Kalia royal family, and wipe out the Cuckoo Knights, completing the integration of Lienia.

The revival of the two places broke the original balance of power.

"...Now it's not a battle between two weakened armies, but a battle between two weakened armies to see who can outlast them."

Ampah shook his head.

"The world has returned to a true era of war. If the Blood Dynasty fails to catch up, the gap will only widen. Spending too much time behind the scenes isn't a reason to be complacent; it can actually make you become inseparable from it. Right, Your Majesty?"
