Frillian in the Elden Ring

"...This cursed blood seems to be coming from the direction of Gallid?"

The silver-haired girl continued to analyze calmly, "Could it be that the ruler of the Blood Dynasty is a hidden figure?"

"Hide? Ridiculous. The world has never accepted me, but that doesn't matter, as long as we have the power."

Actually, they are a bit similar.

Monger, the son of evil, was imprisoned in the sewers at birth because of this image. Although Fulilian is beautiful, her Nayan features are hard to ignore. She would have been eliminated even during the heyday of the Golden Dynasty.

"This world is truly wonderful. Strength is the hallmark of legitimacy, but only one of us can define what legitimacy is in the next era."

Laughing wildly, Nelius was completely possessed by the cursed blood and turned into a red giant.

It turned into another pure puppet, dripping with curses and continuing to pollute Lake Yakir, which was something Fulilian could never allow.

"You're going too far."

As soon as these words were spoken, the silver-haired girl's magic power rose even further, and at the same time she used a strong dispel and purify to offset the cursed blood pollution.

He crushed the opponent purely by relying on magic power, without any kind of suppression of physical strength.

Nelius, who tried to disgust Frillian by polluting her, had to stop his meaningless energy release. With only a trace of paranoia left in him, he just wanted to defeat the enemy, otherwise he would die with regrets.

"I will not let down the Blood King's blessing."

The next moment, he floated from mid-air and crashed into the lake, creating a deep pit. He clenched the dagger and aimed at the silver-haired girl. The weapon had become twisted and strange, full of evil.

Fulilian raised her hand and constructed a barrier, easily surrounding the scene and preventing any energy from leaking out.

what!

This seemingly simple action actually involves a high level of enchantment magic. How could a battle mage know this? Furthermore, the strength is quite impressive, making it difficult to overcome without defeating the caster himself. No wonder he has the confidence to control the rhythm of the battle.

"It's all thanks to my talented apprentice's inspiration for the art of barrier formation."

In terms of concealment and accurate identification, I am far inferior to Volame, but it is not difficult to use it as a tool to build a venue.

"It's so boring, go to hell."

In a flash, Nelius was in front of him, launching a sharp, sweeping strike, aiming for the neck. However, it was blocked by a long sword, making a crisp ping sound. The rebound caused the body to freeze, and the sharp blade struck again in an instant.

He rolled over in a panic and barely avoided the attack. At this moment, Fulilian was equipped with a staff and a sword skeleton. She began to emphasize offensiveness and aggressiveness.

At first, the image of him holding a brass shield made people underestimate him, but little did they know that it concealed his terrifying edge.

According to intelligence, the King of Nimgfu demonstrated the power of a battle mage during the siege of Stonevale. She lived up to her reputation as another master mage after Latarn. When she chose to attack...

Whoosh!

The silver-haired girl's pyroxene magic gravel was faster than lightning.

"How can you use a low-level spell so quickly?"

When he reacted, there was a bloody hole in his shoulder.

There was no response. The next move was a terrifying thunder falling from the sky. With Nelius' current speed, he barely dodged it, but he felt a numbness in his body. It was because the water was conducting electricity!

He quickly crossed his arms and blocked with his dagger.

However, he did not expect that Fulilian raised her hand and released another soul torrent, which hit his body and made him feel suffocated by the waves. The powerful soul pressure was transmitted together, and this time it increased the damage to the soul, and even resonated with the trace of thought in the distance. Was he the mastermind behind the scenes?

He seemed to be perceiving a figure dressed in luxurious black and red... the Son of Evil Omen? But his imposing presence was unmistakable; he was a true demigod.

"who are you?"

The questions mixed with soul damage reached the center of the Blood Dynasty, shocking everyone.

Even with Munger's strength, he raised his eyebrows, but he broke through this perception the next moment. After all, they were in absolute home court, and it was only because of the surprise attack that he almost lost his composure. It didn't matter.

It's just the power of a chess piece. I tried it on a whim and almost got some information.

"This is a warning, Fulilian. Remember the Blood King."

He laughed wildly, his arms wide open. The huge crimson totem connected to the puppet, giving it the final strength. Burn everything, and you can do whatever you want with it from now on.

Mung was even happier after sensing Nelius's crazy roar in response, and he felt the world coming alive for the first time in a long time.

Everything had been lifeless and dull since the Shattering War, and the shattered kings, who had stabilized the balance of power, were even more bored. Has it finally arrived? A Faded One who broke through the status quo and claimed the throne? How could we allow you to reign?

This is just the first round.

Yakir Lake.

After hearing that imposing response, Fulilian's face darkened. The strength displayed by this person was far greater than that of Gray**. He was probably one of the top demigods.

"...Only the title was revealed, but not the name. Is he a demigod not recognized by the Golden Dynasty?"

She didn't have time to think carefully because the madman in front of her was completely insane.

Nelius held his head and cried out to the sky: "I feel it, my god has withdrawn his gaze, that's right. He has abandoned me, but he has also given me a sacred mission: I will kill you."

"A mission? Even a temptation? Don't worry, I will give you a good farewell."

Fulilian's magic sword becomes sharper.

Through!

Another unadorned thrust pierced his body. "It's useless. I've already discarded this body—ah!"

The thunder of destruction flowed along the staff.

The use of different magics by the same medium was truly exquisite, something he hadn't anticipated. At the same moment, Fulilian swung her longsword, accompanied by a flash of light, and slashed at his neck. He blocked it firmly with his hand at the critical moment, but the numbness continued to rob him of his strength.

How could this be possible? I had clearly received the final and most powerful blessing!

"My God lied to me?"

"No, it's just that I think there's nothing to try now that he's gone, so let's get this over with."

Before he could finish his words, the long knife chopped into his neck.

Nelius suddenly spat out a stream of cursed blood, forcing Fulilian to retreat. He then turned around and fled in a panic. Even if he had to use his hands and feet, he had to run as fast as he could, the faster the better.

This seemingly grand battle entered the garbage time of one-sided pursuit, and one side completely lost its fighting spirit.

She chased after him with the mentality of finishing the fight and going off work.

Since you have no other options, I will annihilate you completely. The silver-haired girl swung her staff, unleashing a barrage of soul-tracking crystals, eliminating the need for legwork.

Now Nelius understood even more clearly that Fulilian was deliberately controlling the rhythm of the battle, otherwise these long-range means would be enough—

boom!

The explosion interrupted his thoughts, tearing the flesh and the soul within it apart, and burned it away in the wind without a trace. The infamous Blood Finger master completely disappeared in the battle of trying to hunt down the king.

On the other side, Yura had killed the only remaining Blood Finger.

This level of pressure was no pressure for him, but his body was still trembling. It was inevitable that he was shocked after experiencing the pressure of a demigod almost at close range.

"It's really wonderful."

Nelius's tactics were constantly evolving, each one more exaggerated than the last, yet he remained in control. He was easily suppressed by the unfathomable Furlin, who then leaked information...

It's certain that the Blood Dynasty possesses a mysterious and powerful force, far more than just a heroic one. There may be hidden heroes and divine beings in the borderlands, but there are certainly a few demigods, and this may be linked to some secret of the Golden Dynasty.

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and they were quickly surrounding the lake. It was the Southern Army coming to support.

Although they arrived late, they finally gathered a large army. Unfortunately, Her Majesty could not use it. She was as clean and efficient as ever.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry we're late."

The commander leading the reinforcements immediately dismounted, bowed and apologized. After all, it was difficult to help outside the barrier and they could not intervene at all.

Everyone could see that the enemy's strength exceeded expectations, so they had to urgently deploy troops, which delayed time and resulted in an embarrassing situation where their group was basically useless.

"It's okay. It would be dangerous if you come in rashly. Be alert to the surroundings first."

"As ordered."

The orders of the Fragment King Fulilian were absolute. Having witnessed victory once again, they were more convinced and had greater confidence in Nimgefu. The new demigod was capable of protecting this land.

At the same time, she released a round of magic perception check to the maximum extent.

Apart from the smell of some malicious thieves in the Mengliu Cave that we were planning to investigate, everything else was fine.

Fulilian never minded if a sneak attacker suddenly appeared from nowhere. Things that were dangerous in the eyes of everyone, including Melina, were not a big deal at all. Letting the other party leak some information could be considered an unexpected gain.

"Thank you for your help this time, Lord Yura."

"You flatter me too much. My level of contribution is not much."

"How much do you know about Blood Finger? Like the possibility of a demigod behind them? After all, we're already at odds with each other."

"They're a terrorist group that hunts the Faded. It seems they have to kill their own witches as a ritual to join the organization, and then enter a place rumored to be called the Blood Dynasty... But strangely, there are no related features at the border. I don't know where they are hiding..."

The more I think about it, the weirder it gets.

In fact, Yura had just learned about the existence of such a person, who was suspected to be a demigod. However, after thinking about it, there was no record and he was completely confused. The enemy became even more bizarre.

As for Fulilian, she actually had some guesses, because Sir Baizhi once mentioned the hidden demigod.

The Round Table Hall is also investigating.

Since no one knows much about him, it means that the Blood King is indeed good at hiding and has been secretly influencing the border areas. He may have done something unknown but far-reaching, so it is best to be vigilant.

The border area is indeed full of people who are hiding all the time and then suddenly pop out to cause trouble one day. It is difficult to guard against sneak attacks.

"Master Yura, would you like to join me? We all have to face the Bloody Finger anyway."

"I am honored, but please allow me to decline, as I have found my proper path. Your Majesty, our destiny goes beyond this."

"Then I respect your choice."

"Chatting isn't my forte. It's almost time to go. See you next time."

"Take care of yourself."

After hearing the meaningful blessing, Yura nodded solemnly, then pressed his iron hat and waved goodbye. He headed towards the other end of Lake Yakir, towards the direction of the Magic Academy. He was another person going to the Lienia area of the lake.

This minor incident will not affect the overall plan. Even if the other party intends to cause chaos in the Nimgfu area, it will not delay Fulilian's steps. The situation further proves that intelligence must be collected.

It seemed to confirm the player's advice I had seen from Burke before, that becoming king through the normal process might not be the true ending.

At least it's not the "ending where the truth is known". Fulilian has experienced similar plots many times and is familiar with this kind of game routine. I'm afraid some things need to be carefully explored after becoming the king.

Sooner or later, the hidden forces will threaten the stability that they want to create.

She was happy to know there was a ton of hidden content.

"...Speaking of which, Melina, you've been traveling around the borderland for so long. Do you know where the Blood Dynasty is?"

"I don't know, but I have a hypothesis: since there's no trace of them on the surface, and it's difficult to contact the Blood Fingers in the sky, they must be somewhere underground. At a time when the fate of the stars remains uncertain, it's a perfect place to hide."

"underground?"

"I advise you not to explore that place too soon, especially since the Blood Dynasty is very active, unlike the Eternal Dynasty which is lingering on. Although that monarch may continue his plot, we should adopt a defensive stance for now."

"To be honest, a demigod-level enemy deliberately causing trouble is very troublesome. After all, the Fran Undead Squad tends to be defensive, and I often travel."

I'm afraid of thieves, but I can't guard against thieves all the time.

So Fulilian is confident about her own safety, but it may not be the case for Nimgefu.

Her territory is in the open, but lacks the infiltration power to spread outward. In contrast, the whereabouts of the Blood Dynasty are still unknown, and it has Blood Finger killers spread all over the border area.

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking about these things. I’ll have to travel all over the border area anyway, and I’ll find you no matter where you hide.

Melina sighed and said, "It would be great if I could help you. After all, it's inconvenient to always stay in spirit form. Otherwise, I could at least help you keep an eye on the situation in Stonewell City. I wonder if your spirit magic can do that?"

"Not now. I need more magical knowledge, and it has to be related to life."

"Not urgent."

Coming to her senses, she realized why she cared so much. She wanted to truly be with Fulilian and achieve great things together, putting it on the same level as her mission.

Anyway, I don't want to think about it at this moment. It is clearly a negotiation between the Faded One and the Witch, but it looks very weird in the eyes of the soldiers in the distance. Is there something wrong with the king who has been talking to the air?

"Could Malika have any undisclosed offspring?"

Suddenly, the silver-haired girl said something out of nowhere that startled Melina.

"Why do you guess so?"

"I don't have any particular basis for this, I just find it strange. For example, the Blessed King and the Blood King probably have the Great Rune and are recognized by the Two Fingers. The former, in particular, must have not only the fragments of the Ring but also the legitimacy of his bloodline, unlike me who is a special case. So they may be descendants of the goddess."

"During the Shard War, the Kings' Alliance had similar speculations, believing that the defenders were brothers or sisters who appeared out of nowhere and thwarted their plans to seize the throne."

The implication is that similar topics have been mentioned before, but the truth has never been figured out.
