Frillian in the Elden Ring

Desolate and eerie.

A long time ago, a huge mine was built between the Yatan Plateau and Lienia, which was as high as a divine tower. It climbed up the rock wall and became a loophole under the surveillance of the royal city of Rodel.

“It’s tiring every time I walk here.”

Patch wiped the sweat from his forehead. "And there are monsters attacking us all the time..."

"Given Lady Fulilian's character, she will definitely clean up this place completely."

He sighed when Laya said this.

That person's personality would never miss an opportunity to defeat monsters and level up, and he particularly disliked monsters that took over the mountain and hindered ecological recovery. By then, he would most likely have to reorganize the mining area. This would also be equivalent to controlling another route to the Yatan Plateau, and he would be under surveillance.

How come I didn’t know before that you have the qualifications to be a king, and you are doing a good job? Can the King of Fire also become a king who rules the country?

call!

Suddenly, a storm eagle flew across the sky, its huge wingspan and majestic posture clearly visible. Bathed in the sunlight, its pair of bright eyes locked onto the mine.

It tilted its head curiously, then flew resolutely towards the huge rock wall support of the ancient ruins.

To be on the safe side, I didn't go in but still took a look around.

The next moment, the Storm Eagle turned, glanced at the others at the Volcano Residence, and then departed with satisfaction, speeding towards Stonewell City. Its flight altitude was high enough to outmatch most magic, and its small size and agility made it an excellent aerial scout, a significant advantage for the Southern Army.

"Storm Eagle pledged allegiance to the new master of Stoneville City. It seems that Fulilian listened to your words and immediately sent spies to investigate."

Laya nodded with relief.

In her opinion, she was helping a friend, but Patch didn't bother to care about it, as the route would be exposed sooner or later anyway.

"So the reconnaissance was just a glance?"

"Yes, because she is the real scout and main force. She just needs to confirm the approximate location. It's like a gourmet who reserves the delicacy for himself, to savor it carefully."

While we were chatting, we unexpectedly spotted a migrating group not far away. There were only a few hundred people, with their families.

It's no secret that there are scattered settlements around. The problem is that they are not depressed at all. Rather than fleeing, they are more like seeking refuge, so they are also avoided vigilantly.

"Where are you all going?"

While asking, Patch did not forget to pay the village chief rune as a toll to show his goodwill.

"My generous friend, of course we are heading north of Lienia, to the fortress of Kalia."

"Although there are indeed some noble manors there, it's not a place that can be stable for a long time, is it? It might even be caught in a war."

"We don't know. We just heard that Kalia Castle is bustling with activity. Military Advisor Igi received some nobles and issued a call. They must have reached some kind of agreement with the Soul Cinder King. We think Lienia will be fine, so we'll set off first. At worst, we can go south."

"Is that why?"

"Well, that's enough. Hope is important. At least it can prevent me from becoming a zombie... But it doesn't matter. The healing magic will soon reach the lake land anyway."

The village chief said this with genuine anticipation.

What was it to leave their homeland? They had experienced a lot, and the key was the long-lost hope. Before the Southern Army truly took control of this place, hope had already conquered people's hearts and made them yearn for it.

"You all believe in Fulilian?"

"Yes."

"What an enviable guy! He's a magic madman, but he's living an increasingly righteous life."

Patch was filled with emotion and finally offered a blessing: "Have a safe journey, your belief is right."

The two teams who met by chance said goodbye to each other and then set out on their journey.

The people at the Volcano Residence exchanged bewilderment, sensing how quickly things were unfolding. Was the Kalia royal family making a move? Was even the Moon Princess behind the scenes planning to intervene? Could this be a coalition? Wasn't Flillian the Faded one afraid of the Two Finger attack?

If you think about it carefully, the two of them do have a lot in common. They are both magicians, both are demigods, and both want to take back the academy.

In any case, she caused chaos as soon as she entered Lake Lienia, and she had to report back as soon as possible.

They quickened their pace.

……

In front of the college gate, the sun is shining brightly, and iron hooves are moving back and forth between the defense lines.

This place has been built into an ironclad entity. In addition to the original magic corps, magic knights, puppets, etc., the Cuckoo Knights have also joined, almost gathering all the mobile field forces in the lake area.

Moreover, the Magic Academy has always been known for its defense, and having their support will give us more confidence.

Even so, they were still worried, and many of them even looked worried. After all, they had just received news: a small-scale exchange of fire between the Southern Army and Wang Cheng’s army on Lienia Avenue.

It was quite lively, anyway, the claws of two huge monsters were stretched out.

"Everyone, be alert and be on high alert."

The tense crowd wandered around the perimeter, staring in all directions, especially at the water and the forest. If they were to attack, they couldn't escape these two areas, so they had to defend them closely.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a death ritual bird emerged from the clouds in the sky, and its skeletal appearance made people feel cold.

What's going on in broad daylight?

Then the next moment they saw the silver-haired girl emerge from the bird's back, then let the bird's claws hook her clothes to form an upside-down hanging, aiming headfirst, with the tip of the staff pointing to the ground. This special posture added a sense of weirdness, why?

In any case, this is a signal of a full-scale attack from a demigod. It is not about being crowned as a king, but about winning by actual force and ruling the world.

"Enemy attack, coming from above, everyone prepare—"

It was too late. Immediately afterwards, Fulilian's staff burst into purple magic power, and with a humming sound, it enveloped the door.

Gravity Battle Ash Conversion Magic.

Everyone present felt their bodies suddenly lose weight, being forcibly pulled into the air by a suction force. It was gravity magic, and its output efficiency was extremely high. In one blow, it actually covered the entire defense line in front of the goal, without exception.

They struggled in the air but to no avail, like people falling into the water, screaming desperately but unable to resist being captured by the purple magic.

Even a magician skilled in academics wouldn't know how to use basic gravity like this. How did she come up with this? Attacking from directly above and destroying it with one strike?

The next moment, everyone despaired as they discovered that Fulilian had proactively cut off the output.

"Fall."

Rain began to fall from the sky, and the raindrops were like the guards of the entire defense line, tumbling down. The first person fell and was knocked unconscious, and then the next person fell on top, crushing the first person's internal organs.

The repeated attacks completely destroyed the defenders, leaving even the fortifications with little damage.

You can actually fight like this!

So you can fight like this?

The shocking ideas about magic tactics that Fulilian showed were a slap in the face to the Magic Academy's complacency. They had never expected that gravity could be used in this way.

Just the simplest round of attraction and release made hundreds of people fall dizzy.

The mage was weak, nearly losing his fighting ability after such a toss. The armored warrior was even worse off, his hard armor causing a second impact as he made close contact with the ground, causing a massive shock and vibration to his internal organs.

On the ground were people lying all over the place, wailing and looking miserable.

They deeply understood the powerful magic of the demigod, and more importantly, the unfathomable understanding of their fellow magicians. Ordinary people would never have thought of using gravity magic in this way.

However, some survivors managed to get up and tried to shoot the enemy with their dragon crossbows.

But it didn't work.

Then they despairingly discovered that Fulilian was condensing her magic power while hanging upside down and the Death Ritual Bird was flying at high speed.

Loretta's big bow!

It was clearly a charged move, but in the hands of the silver-haired girl, one shot after another was like falling meteors. Whether it was the rate of fire, accuracy or destructive power, it was impeccable and could easily destroy large weapons.

How do you aim in this situation?

The top-notch warrior qualities displayed by Fulilian are equally terrifying, enough to cope with any combat environment.

Her arrows stopped after destroying the weapon, leaving her with little chance of threatening the enhanced, ultra-fast flying Death Ritual Bird. But everyone knew the next attack was coming.

The plain and simple yet insulting Demi-Human Queen's Staff shone brightly.

Pyroxene ice.

The attack was accompanied by a strong frosty air that covered an area of one kilometer in radius. A kind of magical attack range actually stretched out a line, freezing the guards stationed in it.

In this way, hundreds of statues filled the perimeter of the academy.

Because Fulilian wasn't out to slaughter, humans were different from monsters, so she could hold back a bit and neutralize the enemy. That was why she had to attack them personally. Sending a large army would easily lead to both sides suffering heavy losses.

The surviving leader of the Cuckoo Knights struggled to get up and looked around, only to find that all around him were ice sculptures, which were completely useless.

"You are a bunch of trash!"

There was no time to complain as he watched the death ritual bird loosen its claws before the silver-haired girl floated down and stood firmly in front of the door.

Instead of reaching the sealed door directly, he chose to go in an open and aboveboard way, which symbolized absolute conquest.

"I've heard of you, one of the few who must be killed."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Azalea Knights felt his heart sink. He clenched his sword tightly and immediately activated his endurance technique. He had to endure the attack first, wait for more survivors to recover, and then engage...

Click!

The suddenly lengthened Kalia's swift sword pierced through his armor and accurately pierced his heart, killing him instantly. He froze, black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he fell down with dilated pupils.

Until the day he died, he couldn't figure out why the enemy's magic was so fast.

The few people who had just stood up were shocked. It was too terrifying. The strength displayed by Fulilian at this moment was not due to any special bloodline or talent, but purely solid and bottomless basic skills. The simplest magic could be infinitely transformed and should not be underestimated.

No wonder he is currently the most famous magic collector. He does not simply collect magic, but integrates it into his own.

"Don't even think about it."

"Just a barbaric wizard from outside."

Facing these struggling and resisting targets, Fulilian easily defeated them with a few moves of pyroxene magic, and they all fell unconscious.

It won’t be too late to deal with any resistance after we have taken control of the Magic Academy. After all, we have already used the same tactics once in Stonewell City.

She looked at the Death Ritual Bird in the sky and ordered, "I'm about to enter the academy. Have Stonewell City send an army to take over. They should occupy a favorable position first and set out as soon as they receive the news."

Upon hearing this, it quickly turned around and left, speeding towards its destination at full speed.

The ashes, strengthened by soul magic, possess greater intelligence and overall strength, making them more than capable of handling the task. According to the original plan, a troop was already on standby within the city, and Teacher Se Lian would also arrive with them.

Everything is ready.

Fulilian released a round of magical perception and found that some people were simply lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and some guards at the main gate also chose to go deeper into the defense.

In their opinion, the attacking demigod possessed enough firepower to destroy an entire city and could not be confronted head-on.

Ultimately, the academy wasn't a military organization; it focused on academics. While mages naturally possessed some combat prowess, they were ultimately no match for regular troops, and in critical moments, they often relied on forces like the Cuckoo Knights.

Now that the Knight Commander is dead, their fighting spirit naturally declines.

However, to be cautious, she still released a few pure magic shock waves to ensure that these guys were unconscious before coming to the door.

The seal automatically dispersed the moment the pyroxene key came into contact with it. It did not destroy the structure, but instead opened an entrance in its cracked form... It's a good design and worth referring to as a sealing magic.

Fulilian stepped into it.

Everywhere you look you'll see a pointed-roof castle, ancient and solemn.

If Stonewell City gave people the feeling of a super fortress standing tall in a storm, full of oppression, then the academy was mysterious and peaceful, making people unable to help but ponder.

She likes this special research environment.

"We should plan a route immediately after opening the Blessing Point and search every corner of the academy for treasures..."

"wrong."

Melina, knowing her partner's tendency to become addicted to exploration, immediately appeared. "The key is to quickly suppress the resistance at the academy. After all, once you control it, you can still get those collectibles. There's no choice."

Whizzing!

The pyroxene meteors that followed covered the place where the silver-haired girl was standing. This round of firepower smashed into most of the magic power of the mage group, and the sound shook all around.

However, they discovered that a circle of ripples easily bounced back the magic.

As she becomes more and more proficient in Topps' force field, Freellian can seamlessly connect them, relying on the force field actively and the light wall passively. Both have a rebound effect, and she also has countless defensive measures.

It's easy to deal with this level.

"It would be really troublesome if I kept calling in by myself, so let's speed up."

The soul-summoning bell rang crisply, and more than a dozen ash combat units emerged.
