Frilian at Elden Ring

The ripple field bounced off.

Being a soul attribute being a level below her own, it was perfect material for deflection. So Frilian caught them all without hesitation, and even tried an unprecedented technique.

"Since you're such a good match, then you can go back the way you came."

The silver-haired girl waved her arm, creating ripples that enveloped the surging spiritual fire, and all the fierce energy was captured and subdued.

返！

The spiritual power captured that wisp of intent and connected all the spiritual flames, sending them hurtling towards the launcher. The barrage of firepower tracked the flames, leaving trails of light in the air. Why? How did it turn out like this?

Caught off guard, the Ancestral King immediately moved away, but its tail still managed to take away some of its life force.

Oh no, it's still a modified spirit fire.

Moreover, the aura of soul energy it displayed just now wasn't malicious...

It ran through the air with all its might, with its own spirit fire chasing after it, looking utterly pathetic.

Chapter 208 The Recollection of the Ancestral Spirit King - Exchange.

too fast!

The chase lasted for a while before the Ancestral Spirit King realized that the spirit fireballs drawn by Frilian were very strange, as they were aimed at his soul and were chasing after him. No wonder they were haunting him and dragging him along.

Not only that, she also used the Radiant Sword Array to add fuel to the fire, attempting to break through the resilience.

A double attack is enough to inflict a heavy blow.

Suddenly, the Ancestral King raised its head and roared, unleashing waves of shockwaves. It wasn't any magical technique, but pure magic that dispelled the spirit fire and the shining sword.

call!

Another magical display of vibrant colors subsided as the attack subsided amidst the stag's dance-like movements. The summoned animal spirits on the ground cried out, as if praising a mighty force.

Only it knows that the consumption is extremely high and there is little chance of a next time.

On the surface, ancestral spirits are born naturally, so their energy is inexhaustible. In reality, however, the body's foundation determines its endurance.

Even with a reservoir as a backup, it still needed water pipes to drain the water. Unfortunately, not being good at fighting, it never expanded the pipes. So this was its limit; luckily, it escaped the predicament, otherwise it would have been defeated.

The Ancestral King descended to the ground, staring intently at the enemy.

Despite launching repeated attacks, Frilian remained calm and composed, walking steadily and with ease.

This one is even more of a monster.

Despite not being in harmony with the natural rules of the border region, he relied entirely on the power within his body to fight. Both his magical power reserves and output efficiency were exaggerated. He seemed nonchalant but actually firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle.

Moreover, for some reason, that soul emanated a warm, all-encompassing life force, unlike the atmosphere of an evil intruder.

On the contrary, it exudes an aura of righteousness and integrity, even mixed with runes.

Let's try again, just to be on the safe side.

Wow!

The giant deer's antlers blossomed with flowers, filling the air with fragrance. As the buds closed, they unleashed a surge of magical power, as if the plants themselves were breathing, enlivening the entire space.

"It looks like it intends to completely exploit its home-field advantage to suppress you."

Melina suggested that "the cave battlefield is no longer suitable."

"Yes, we should create a more open space."

Before she finished speaking, Frilian slammed the Rutherd Staff into the ground with both hands, instantly unleashing terrifying gravity magic that clashed head-on with the Ancestral King's natural magic, neither giving an inch.

Both sides chose a method that was more energy-consuming but had a more obvious suppressive effect.

The destructive force of gravity magic ravaged the cave, causing the surrounding rock walls to crumble and collapse in a spreading pattern. Cracks appeared everywhere, the earth split open, and the vegetation clinging to it was uprooted and rendered powerless.

As always, it destroys the preferred magic.

Having long been immersed in large-scale techniques, Frilian has a deeper understanding of gravity and dismantled the cave with minimal effort, revealing a dazzling sky.

Return to the underground starry sky.

This exhilarating feeling made her take a deep breath and open her arms to welcome the stream of spiritual fire, while the Topus force field also expanded.

boom!

With no foothold on the ground, the Ancestral King chose to refine natural magic in the sky, and as expected, it was even more powerful, blasting out from above with enough force to break through the walls of a fortress.

However, it encountered the most impenetrable magical defense, which was so solid that it was even vaguely captured and assimilated.

Go back the way you came!

The stream of spiritual fire flew towards the caster, and the same trick worked this time because it never expected that a sure-fire strike could be deflected, which first required even stronger magic.

Oh no, I underestimated their magical reserves; they're practically bottomless.

The Ancestral King was hit by the jet of water and immediately staggered.

"Did it lose its power because of the rebound? I thought it could shoot it down."

The silver-haired girl flexed her wrists and murmured, "As long as the identification is accurate, this mechanism objectively exists in the border region. There must be other powerful individuals who can deflect spells..."

"You're thinking way too far ahead. How could there possibly be a second technology like that?"

"Isn't that enough?"

"Frilian, you are different."

Melina couldn't imagine anyone else could so seamlessly blend combat skills and magic; such a feat had never been seen before in the borderlands.

The two exchanged a casual remark before continuing to focus on the sky. The stunned Ancestral Spirit King shook his head, his fighting spirit waning, and he showed a hint of fear towards the silver-haired girl, not daring to step forward.

It tried every means possible, but all of them were thwarted, leaving it completely baffled.

Born of nature, the giant deer was not good at fighting. The repeated blows caused the Ancestral Spirit King to lose his will to fight, and he was struggling with how to end the situation.

"Since you're not coming, I'm going over there."

Boom!

Frillien's magic rose from the ground, surpassing even Frillien's, like a torch illuminating the world under the eternal starry sky, its brilliance even visible to Blaze, who was resting in the distance.

The ancestral spirits, who had hidden themselves, stared in astonishment at the miracle.

This energy was also imbued with the blessing of the Great Rune, making it all the more alluring. How could one possibly overcome such a magnificent and unstoppable pressure? Fortunately, the one who released it was by no means a heinous criminal; the magnificence of his soul was evident.

Gravity Summoning Stars —

She suddenly pulled the giant deer into the air, slamming it to the ground, followed by layers of rock balls that blocked and suppressed it.

The Ancestral King naturally resisted with all his might, but the weight pressing down on him gradually increased, rendering him immobile. No matter how much he struggled, he could not budge. It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him—what a terrifying force!

The energy gathered on the giant deer's body as it struggled continuously dissipated, some of it transforming into treasures, and its aura weakened.

The next moment, the tip of the staff was aimed at its head.

"Leave quickly."

Frillie glared at him fiercely, then a gravitational shockwave knocked him over. He stumbled and ran away in a flash, disappearing without a trace without looking back.

The ancestral spirits nearby also left in a panic, but with less hatred.

The aura of souls and the power of magic are genuine; at least they know that the uninvited guests are not there to slaughter with malicious intent.

However, what they thought was completely irrelevant to Frilian. She was more concerned with the energy that had fallen from the Ancestral King, which, combined with the energy from the Ancestral Spirit earlier, formed a rare treasure:

【The King of Ancestral Spirits' Memories】

[The Memories of the Ancestral King, Carved from the Golden Tree]

[Through the help of the finger-removing technique, you can gain the power of the Lord of Memories]

[If used directly, it can yield a massive amount of runes]

Ancestral spirits are a mystery existing beyond the Golden Tree—life arises from death, and life arises from life.

This is His life's nature.

No wonder I sensed an immortality emanating from the ancestral spirit, a ceaseless cycle of life. It should be an absolutely neutral being; there's no need to fight it to the death, just get its equipment.

Moreover, the mysteries beyond the Golden Tree greatly intrigued Frilian, as it represented a different set of laws, unlike any system she had encountered before.

Not worth it.

A single recollection is enough to make one rich; could it be that the Ancestral King's status is comparable to that of a demigod?

Specific research on ancestral spirits and similar beings can only be left for the future.

The key is the rewards. Once she encounters an important special treasure like a memory, Frillie will immediately use the save module to save a copy for each item. This way, she won't only be able to redeem it once. That would be stingy; she always has to choose one out of three.

With the "cloud save" module included, there's no need to worry about anything else; you can get one of everything, no matter what it is.

Of course, we shouldn't only focus on the big rewards.

There is another treasure dropped by the ancestral spirit, which is equally formidable for her, given that she possesses the "Spirit Summoning Snail" module.

The silver-haired girl gently cupped a handful of silvery-white ashes in her hands, which still retained the natural power of the ancestral spirit. This was not a mass-produced item she could create casually; it possessed uniqueness.

The ashes of the ancestral spirits

The ashes, which house the souls of the deceased, can summon the ancestral spirits to fight.

[A people whose soul transcends metal and civilization. Tall in stature, and proficient in unique spiritual arts.]

[This soul, in particular, is a master archer.]

His appearance was indeed that of a tall, burly man with two horizontal bull horns on his head, holding a bow and arrow, ready to fire. He seemed to fit the same description as the ancestral spirits he had seen before.

It yearns for great souls; perhaps this is the kind of sensitivity these creatures possess.

Yeah.

At first, Frilian concealed her aura as usual, so the strangers could not see the brilliance of the Lord of Cinder's soul. But when the fight began and she revealed her strength, her aura was completely unreserved, which can be considered a declaration of fair play.

She murmured, "We're both archers, I wonder how I compare to Miss Letina..."

"My lord, I am superior in archery. Please feel free to use me."

A confident answer came from the summoning bell.
