Frillian in the Elden Ring

The rest of the exploration team also fainted. Some screamed in nightmares, some snored, and some twitched from the electric shock...

Except for one person.

Wayne, who had the strongest physical fitness, still retained consciousness. He quickly took out the potion, drank it, and bandaged his wound urgently.

"I'm so tired. I finally made it through, but staying like this isn't a solution."

He looked around and saw that no one was awake. Even if the Water Mirror Demon could not organize an attack for the time being, the possibility of invasion from other underground monsters could not be ruled out. He could not just lie down and be slaughtered, he had to move quickly.

"These old bones have suffered enough, so I'll just retire from now on."

While complaining, Wayne still relied on his strong willpower to pick up the broken sword, supported his body and moved step by step to the side of the red-haired girl.

"Volamei, wake up."

Unfortunately, the other party remained motionless, and worse still, it had awakened something else. A rustling sound could be heard from the darkness of the distant corridor. Perhaps it was sandworms, attracted by the commotion, seeking food. These monsters would devour a whole corpse.

I didn't even have the strength to swing my sword anymore, how could I deal with this? Only Volame still had some magic left, but no matter how I called out, it was useless. Were they all going to die here?

He turned on the kettle and washed the red-haired girl's face, who immediately opened her eyes with a violent cough.

"Mr. Wayne?"

"Be careful, the sandworms are coming. Do you have magic power?"

"I've used it all up and my body is numb. I need a few minutes to adjust—"

As they were talking, the monsters opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, roared, and burrowed into the soil. The raised tracks were getting closer and closer to the door, and they were about to rush up the steps to kill them. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Teammates who are in a coma will be the first to be targeted. Although they show signs of waking up, they probably can't be of much help at this point.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wayne quickly took out his bow and arrow and aimed, but found an embarrassing situation: he no longer had the strength to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, Volame grabbed the bowstring tightly and broke it with a strength that was no less than that of a top warrior.

"I don't have any magic power, not physical strength."

"Okay, leave the aiming to me. I'll shoot the arrow when you tell me to."

The old man and the young man looked at each other and then stared at the monsters together. Their breathing rates gradually stabilized and even became synchronized. The sandworms on the opposite side were still charging and entered the range of fifty meters, but the two of them remained calm. This was a tacit understanding of absolute trust.

They were observing the specific number of enemies. Only three of them were controllable, but they had to ensure that one move hit the vital points where the nerves in the head were concentrated, otherwise they would surely die.

"Fire the arrow——"

As soon as he finished speaking, Volame released the bowstring, unleashing a tremendous force that propelled the arrow through the head of the first sandworm in the sky. It didn't just penetrate, it pierced through and nailed it to the ground, causing the corpse to twitch uncontrollably.

Such power made Wayne slightly stunned, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and stared at the remaining enemies, another one was about to rush up.

I could feel the approaching vibration, and my teeth stretched out coldly.

Whoosh.

The two men subconsciously bent their bows, aimed, and released their arrows in one go. With the sound of the arrows breaking through the air, they hit the head a little off-center. The man was bleeding but still moving.

The angry sandworm pressed forward with its huge body.

However, Volame and Wayne had exceptional reflexes, and they rolled away a moment earlier, barely avoiding the heavy blow. However, the former was too light and was thrown into the rubble by the shockwave, his life or death unknown.

"This is bad."

Despite this, he still rode on the sandworm's back, made a circle with the bowstring, and pulled hard to decapitate it.

The monster let out a hysterical wail before it died, and Wayne probably also let out a wail, his muscles and bones aching all over, but suddenly a gust of wind blew past from behind.

He leaped with all his might, and the sharp teeth flew over his head.

Pyroxene arrows.

As the last sandworm missed its target, Volame stood up, drew his bow and arrow, and the magic penetrated the monster's body, killing it instantly.

Fast mana recovery is the key to success.

Only then did she half-kneel on the ground, panting.

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. No matter how tired they were, they laughed out loud. The exhaustion was swept away. After all, they had escaped death. The arduous expedition to the Tomb of the Broken King had come to an end. It was time to end it.

After a short rest, they woke up their unconscious teammates one by one, and everyone was still in shock.

"Win? Even though I won against the clone, I'm still alive!"

"As expected of a magician of the Age of Gods, I can't imagine if it was President Fulilian herself, we wouldn't have enough lives to deal with her."

"It even killed the sandworm."

"Thank you very much, Miss Volame and Lord Wayne. The credit belongs to you."

The team leader was convinced and emphasized: "According to the agreed remuneration, we will give you an extra share. We all owe you a favor. Don't refuse. You two deserve it."

"Yes, let's consider this as a chance for future cooperation. We will tell our colleagues that Volame is now a true great magician, both in character and strength."

"A good teacher produces a good student. You will definitely become a leader like President Fulilian."

"Thank you."

The bewildered red-haired girl kept agreeing, scratching her head with a silly smile. Anyway, the result was good, and she had become famous. It should be considered a happy ending for everyone, but the matter was not over yet.

She pointed to the door of the deepest room and signaled them to continue forward.

After discussion, the group finally decided to support Volame's opinion and find the Water Mirror Demon's true form.

The journey was smoother than expected, and we arrived at the end of the Tomb of the Lonely King without any obstruction. We saw a prism floating quietly in it.

A malicious aura pressed down on me.

Everyone immediately took their positions, each ready for battle. While the demon itself wasn't theoretically strong enough, who knew what other forces might be at work? At this point, it couldn't be too cautious.

At the same time, a cloud of dust rose up around them, and a faint white phantom appeared...

"Don't even think about it!"

Volame made up his mind and pounced forward. With his hands, he formed a barrier that tightly wrapped around Shui Jing's body. The absolute defensive barrier even blocked the flow of magic power, leaving no chance.

As expected, the illusion dissipated, but the demons in the barrier kept crashing into her, forcing her to continue to channel magic power with both hands, and a tug-of-war ensued between the two sides.

Wayne murmured, "It should be under control, but it's inconvenient."

"That's right. It doesn't matter. As long as I keep the seal and get it out, I can always find a way."

"The president can definitely handle it."

Seeing that the dust had settled, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Some people sat down and laughed, celebrating the moment.

Click!

Suddenly, earth and rocks fell from the mound beneath the dome, accompanied by a resounding roar and the emanation of immense magical power. Immediately afterwards, a massive pyroxene sword pierced through the ceiling, its blade spanning hundreds of meters, and began slicing right before their eyes.

Outside the tomb of the Lingluo King, Fenton and his group could only watch obediently in the face of the super project site.

The Age of Gods magician, disdainful of the slow progress, rolled up his sleeves and took matters into his own hands. Fulilian, now soaring atop the mound, wielded a massive sword, slashing away at it. The magic once powerful enough to destroy the city walls had become a powerful tool for demolition.

The so-called solid dome and the magic barrier inside it will shatter at the slightest touch. The absolute violence will not give you any chance to show your strength, and your defense is useless.

The silver-haired girl continued to chop and dig, while puppets rose up beside her to carry the debris, and gravity magic made the debris float, digging deeper at a distance visible to the naked eye.

The hill-like mound was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And her movements became faster and faster, and the atmosphere was just the same as others':

urgent.

Fulilian, eager to save lives, rushed here after resolving the Royal City incident. I heard they just defeated two demon sages? Not tired at all? She flew here and immediately got to work without a break after hearing the news.

I had originally given up exploring the maze with the intention of training my disciples, but now that I heard something had happened, how could I not be anxious?

I won’t pretend anymore. I’ll tear you to pieces.

The excavation teams hired at high prices pale in comparison.

"I can't imagine what Lady Fulilian would blame if anything happened to the people inside."

Fenton wiped the sweat from his forehead. "She just killed a lot of demons and rebels. Maybe she's angry."

"Sir, don't underestimate Lord Volame's strength. Furthermore, there's Commander Wayne as well. It's no problem. The only difference is the degree of injury."

"That's right. Anyway, let's prepare to clean up the king's tomb."

"Yes."

They reached a consensus: whatever demon had been hiding inside was now on its last legs.

At the same time, the team in the deepest room breathed a sigh of relief. The iconic pyroxene sword that pierced the dome was so recognizable; there couldn't be a third wielder, let alone one with such a menacing and domineering aura.

In a moment, a huge square gap appeared, and Volame jumped and shouted while holding the seal of the Water Mirror Demon:

"Master, we are here."

A head popped out of the hole, and it was a familiar face to Fulilian.

"As long as you're okay."

She was worried at first, then she exclaimed with sincere admiration: "It seems you have won, Volame. Congratulations on defeating the powerful demon and creating a great achievement."

"Thanks to everyone's help, and Master's healing."

“But it’s not very honest.”

Having said that, when the silver-haired girl flew down, the Water Mirror Demon stopped struggling. To be more precise, it trembled because the enemy's pressure enveloped it first, as if it was in purgatory.

Why does the other person give you the feeling that they are constantly burning? If you touch them, they will also turn into firewood.

With a glance, Fulilian cast a wave of healing sunlight on the others.

All wounds that are exposed to the radiation will be healed instantly, and hidden injuries will be eradicated as well. Even some long-standing sequelae will be eliminated, improving the physical condition in all aspects and soothing the soul.

Although this magic is rapidly becoming popular, the strongest effect still belongs to the original user, and no one else can match the panel attributes of the Soul Fire King.

Some people even fell back asleep in the healing warmth and it was probably impossible to wake them up for a while.

Whatever.

It's safe at last.

On the other side, the excavation team made a breakthrough at the main gate. Judging from the sound, the distance was not far away. In addition, Volame and his team had cleared the area along the way first. It was estimated that they only needed to run the entire distance and the outcome would be decided.

The rescued people immediately expressed their gratitude: "Thanks to the president for digging ahead. I really don't want to stay here for even a minute. Everything here is so weird."

"By the way, the Water Mirror Demon seems to have copied some of my power. I have to apologize to you..."

"No, no, no, we are too weak. Besides, we have already dealt with it."

To be honest, they were a little scared looking at the silver-haired elf with twin tails. Even though there was a huge gap in actual combat power, the clone's indifferent fighting attitude was probably inherited from the original. The demons were probably crushed to death by the overbearing magic.

The master and disciple began to observe the spoils.

In their eyes, bottles and jars of cultural relics or gold, silver and jewelry are nothing compared to the Water Mirror Demon, which is a treasure from the mythological era.

Bang, bang!

Sensing the enemy's gaze, it tried to struggle again.

However, no matter how hard he tried to hit the barrier, it was useless. This was a sealed cage set up by Volame.

Her mastery of barrier techniques was unparalleled, a departure from her master, Fulilian, and she was particularly skilled in sealing. The Water Mirror Demon, already exhausted and fragile, was helpless and instinctively fearful.

"I can't expect you to maintain the barrier forever, right? Let's try another method."

"Master, my magic power can't withstand delicate manipulation right now. If I let it go, it will create a ton of copies and then take advantage of the chaos to escape, right? That would be very troublesome."

"I'm not good at enchantment seals, so I can't replace you for now... Then change your approach and try to completely control it."

"How to do?"

"It's both difficult and easy. The key is that it will destroy the unique form of the Water Mirror Demon. What a shame for such a unique piece."

"Don't worry, this demon deserves to be reformed."

Volame had no good impression of such an enemy. It was a blasphemy to his master's majestic image. He had been wreaking havoc in the Tomb of the Lonely King for many years. He must be made to pay a heavy price.

She held the barrier ball in both hands and pointed it towards Fulilian's hand, and the two of them were ready.

The silver-haired girl slowly stretched out her right hand, and a cluster of flames ignited at her fingertips, weak but full of power.

The flame was faint, yet it held boundless power. Just a glance at it was heart-pounding, as if a vast world were revealing only the tip of an iceberg to the beholder. The crowd around them was stunned. What kind of power was this? It truly existed in reality!
