Whelp, Draht can’t say Frieren didn’t warn him! After suspending her from the ceiling with magical wire, which she keeps from beheading her with her mana, he believes he’s won. Frieren doesn’t let him believe it for long.
In the space of five seconds, spread out longer so we’re able to follow, she liberates one of hands and then the other and plants him face down on the ground. Before he can plead for his life, Frieren takes it, lamenting the young demons’ lack of battle experience.
Eisen told Stark that good food is the sign of a peaceful town. After scarfing down a tasty burger, Fern decides to petition Graf Granat to release her master, for she senses the peace of the town is about to be threatened. Stark feels the same way, but he’s much more of a scaredy-cat than Fern.
Granat discovers Frieren has escaped, his dead guard, and the fact that Draht is missing, and asks Lugner and Linie where he is at swordpoint. Lugner assumes the time for violence has come, and he uses his blood like Draht used his wire: to decapitate all of the knights. He then wounds Granat and takes him prisoner.
On their way to the graf’s mansion, Fern notices a cloaked figure and recognizes her as Frieren. In a quiet alley, Frieren explains how she came to be free and why she’s decided this place is boring and it’s time to go. But Fern wants to protect the town from the demons.
Frieren tells her and Stark to deal with them on their own. Knowing an enemy like Lugner is strong isn’t cause not to fight them, and in her opinion (not to be undervalued considering her prestige) she doesn’t believe Fern or Stark to be any weaker than Lugner or Linie.
The real reason Frieren is leaving the remaining two “envoys” to them is that she has bigger fish to fry. Aura the Guillotine is only 10 clicks outside the city with her army, waiting for the envoys to lower the magical barrier. Frieren admits she doesn’t particularly like fighting strong foes, so she intends to end things quickly.
Under cover of darkness, Stark and Fern infiltrate the manor. I love how Stark tries to be chivalrous by lending Fern a hand, knowing full well she can fly. Lugner keeps blabbing to a tied up and bloodied Granat how he and other demons like him are the products of tireless hard work and practice, and how he loathes geniuses such as Flamme, the one who developed the anti-demon barrier.
He gives Granat some more alone time to think about telling him how to lower that barrier, and that’s when Stark enters. Granat initially thinks his son has arrived, and he recognizes Stark’s trembling hands, because his son’s hands did the same thing when he left for war. Far from calling him a coward, he considers it most valorous.
Lugner and Linie return before Stark can smash the chair with his axe, so he demonstrates his speed and instincts by scoring a hit on Lugner, then protecting his vitals from his blood magic. Stark isn’t there to fight Lugner and Linie two-on-one, but only to give an opening to Fern, who blasts the shit out of Lugner as she floats outside the window.
Linie prepares to fight Fern, who is All Business, but Lugner warns against rash action, and even allows Fern and Stark to leave with the injured Granat. As Frieren thought, Fern and Stark can handle themselves against this level of demon. I only wish we’d been able to see Fern vs. Linie.
Lugner tells Linie he can track them with his blood on their clothing, and also that Linie would have died if she’d been hit with the Zoltraak attack Fern used, which has apparently been upgraded into a demon-killing spell. He then recalls whom the young mage reminded him of: Frieren the Slayer, another genius who used the attack on him long ago.
The episode closes with Frieren floating just as her student did, backlit by the full moon, in no mood to talk and ready to take care of business as she faces down a smirking Aura and her army. We’ll have to wait until next week to learn if Frieren was right about being stronger than the little purple-haired terror, but unlike the late foolish Draht, I’ll believe she is until proven otherwise!
