1. - Flamme? - You mean, Master.

2. Hm.

3. What is it?

4. Do you really think the way you dealt with them was unfair?

5. Frieren, do you remember

6. Basalt's final words before he perished?

7. Why would I bother?

8. Their kind only uses words to deceive.

9. Smart girl.

10. They're nothing more than monsters

11. that can imitate the human tongue.

12. I call them demons.

13. And take it from an expert, they are all the same.

14. They don't play fair, so we have no choice

15. but to take their lead and deceive doubly so.

16. If this could be the secret to exterminating their species,

17. then I will gladly embrace the dishonor it entails.

18. The bleeding won't stop.

19. This is the end.

20. It would seem your plan has failed rather badly.

21. Yes, perhaps.

22. But Frieren won't make it out unscathed.

23. By this hour, I'm sure

24. she and Lady Aura have begun to clash.

25. Decades ago, we were forced to retreat

26. by the party of heroes.

27. But this time, she has no heroes to hide behind.

28. I do admit your ally poses a threat to us,

29. but her mana is no match for My Lady's.

30. If Frieren attacks her head-on,

31. she'll most certainly lose the fight.

32. In that case, I have no doubt my mistress will win.

33. She would never directly engage a demon,

34. especially not one that's so powerful.

35. She'll kill Aura by tricking her.

36. Nonsense. I know this mage.

37. Frieren the Slayer has never once fought us

38. from the shadows.

39. Why then do I feel something is wrong?

40. This girl's mana is weak,

41. yet I was overwhelmed

42. by the sheer number of her rapid attacks.

43. How was she able to execute such powerful magic

44. without exhausting her mana?

45. Huh.

46. I see. Is such a thing even possible?

47. So, Frieren does the same.

48. Too afraid to fight fair.

49. Both you and your teacher are a disgrace

50. to the title of mage.

51. I assure you, Mistress Frieren knows that

52. - better than anyone else.

53. What horrors await today?

54. This is an elven village.

55. Basalt the Throne,

56. a general of the Demon King's army.

57. He must've led his forces here to destroy this town.

58. Speak up, girl. Was it you who killed him?

59. You look near dead yourself.

60. Good bit of mana you have there.

61. You must be powerful.

62. You took them head-on, didn't you?

63. A brute in disguise. That was a foolish mistake.

64. I don't know why people prefer an honest playing field.

65. Run or hide, or take them by surprise.

66. You're working both safer and smarter if you do.

67. I can't understand the way strong mages think.

68. Well, you should.

69. Huh?

70. You should understand exactly how I think.

71. I'm certain...

72. you are far more powerful a mage than I.

73. And what makes you say that?

74. Call it a hunch.

75. Interesting. Have a name?

76. What happened to the village?

77. Its people are dead.

78. Not even the women and children were spared.

79. I couldn't save them.

80. Being their strongest didn't do me any good.

81. Trying to save them at all was silly.

82. If it were me, one sight of those monsters

83. would've sent me for the hills.

84. Put me down.

85. No. You have potential.

86. You're going to be my apprentice.

87. Don't forget I saved your life.

88. If I hadn't shown up, you would be sharing

89. a grave with that demon.

90. You failed to protect your village

91. and nearly yourself.

92. You would've died in vain,

93. but luckily, I was there to assist.

94. - Behind us. - Hm.

95. These are stronger than the general you killed.

96. Fascinating creatures, aren't they?

97. They fully intended to catch us off guard

98. by concealing their mana until just before they struck.

99. But the moment they realized we were mages,

100. they waltzed out into the open with grandeur.

101. They are cunning, and they never play fair,

102. but every last one of them has a ridiculous sense of pride

103. when it comes to magic.

104. You may leave, human mage.

105. Once you put down the elf girl, that is.

106. And you'll let me go free if I do as you say?

107. "Massacre the elves. Now."

108. Those were the Demon King's orders.

109. Your existence matters not to me.

110. How thoughtful.

111. Frieren.

112. You were right before.

113. I'm painfully aware of how a powerful mage thinks.

114. Much like I'm aware of how these creatures think.

115. I know the absolute faith they have in these magics

116. they've poured their lives into studying.

117. In other words,

118. I know they're an arrogant and overconfident breed.

119. Frieren.

120. They lacked your perception

121. and quickly judged me a weakling.

122. Though I admit they were exceptional mages,

123. their overconfidence cost them their lives.

124. By controlling the release of your mana,

125. you hid your strength, so they didn't see you as a threat.

126. That's right.

127. I deceive and kill my enemies

128. by allowing them to miscalculate my power.

129. It is a cowardly and unfair way to fight

130. that makes a mockery of the art of magic itself.

131. Your injuries are looking much better.

132. I'd say it's time we begin your training.

133. - Flamme? - You mean, Master.

134. The demons took all that I've ever known from me.

135. Me, too.

136. I wish to eradicate every last one.

137. Me, too.

138. But I love magic and hold great respect for it.

139. You and I are the same.

140. Hm?

141. That's why we should be the only ones

142. who can make a mockery of it.

143. Protect it through cowardice.

144. What do you suppose I should do to train?

145. Try limiting the mana you release

146. to one-tenth of its typical volume.

147. Impressive. You're controlling it well.

148. I imagine any elf could do something so simple.

149. While you do that, we'll spend time on fundamentals.

150. Work to raise the base of your mana.

151. Is that really all?

152. Easy enough?

153. Do I stop suppressing my mana whenever I feel like it,

154. or whenever you tell me to?

155. It'll get tiring if I do it for too long.

156. You'll do it for as long as I have.

157. For life.

158. If you can, you'll fool demonkind

159. for the rest of your days.

160. I sense Lord Lugner is dead.

161. Slaughtered like the rest of your executioners.

162. Do you see your failure, Aura?

163. That I do. 'Tis a shame, indeed.

164. However, if I defeat you here and now,

165. their sacrifice won't have been for naught.

166. At the beginning of our skirmish,

167. you made it your priority to release

168. as many immortal soldiers from my control as you could.

169. All that work cost you.

170. Was it wise to expend so much of your mana

171. right in front of me?

172. The Scales of Obedience.

173. When two souls are placed opposite each other,

174. whichever has more mana forces the other to submit.

175. Only someone with as much mana as Aura could handle

176. this sort of risky magic so casually.

177. Generally speaking, a person's mana increases

178. in proportion to time spent training.

179. I can feel it in the power pouring off her.

180. She's a great demon who has lived for over 500 years

181. and has spent the majority of that time training.

182. Five hundred years.

183. That's fairly long-lived for her kind.

184. I doubt she's been challenged before.

185. I can tell that much from the mana

186. overflowing from her body.

187. She has no tricks up her sleeve,

188. as demons don't conceal their mana.

189. They can't afford to.

190. I pity you.

191. Auserlese.

192. - Master? - Hm?

193. Demons are quite cunning creatures, are they not?

194. So why haven't they thought to constantly suppress

195. their mana like you do?

196. Hm. I'm sure they would if they could.

197. Demons are individualists by nature,

198. but form the frailest connections

199. needed to stand a chance against humankind.

200. The barest society needs what to function?

201. Order, I suppose.

202. That's right.

203. Even an organization of monsters

204. needs someone of importance to lead it.

205. Humans need the same.

206. Importance is determined by status and wealth.

207. In our world, those who have both get to rule.

208. Look at that well-dressed fellow

209. leaving the palace.

210. He's clearly important.

211. But humans have no innate way of showing that.

212. So for others to know he's someone of note,

213. he has to put on the trappings of rank.

214. So, demons are different then?

215. Despite their performance of civilization,

216. demons haven't changed a bit since beasthood.

217. Might makes right.

218. Far more straightforward than us humans.

219. You can tell who's strong by looking at them.

220. Through their mana?

221. Mana is everything to their kind,

222. much like status and wealth are to ours.

223. It's dignity itself.

224. Now, there is a chance they may temporarily

225. suppress their mana for the sake of stealth.

226. But none are foolish enough to forfeit their standing

227. to constantly suppress their power.

228. It's the difference between a noble

229. sneaking out into town in disguise,

230. and that same noble debasing themselves

231. by abandoning their station entirely.

232. Demons know nothing of charity and would never grant dignity

233. to those with little mana.

234. Their world is a cold and cruel one.

235. So, the stronger an individual is,

236. the more desperate they are to show it off.

237. Unlike us, for them there's no benefit

238. in constantly suppressing their mana.

239. The thought doesn't so much as cross their minds.

240. In a way, I pity them.

241. Just as we are bound by the places we live

242. and the clothing we can afford, demons are bound by mana.

243. Magic is the very lifeblood of their species,

244. but for all their unrivaled love for it,

245. the poor fools can't even control their mana.

246. Frieren, you're very lucky you aren't a demon.

247. I know I am.

248. I couldn't deceive them if I were.

249. It's been three years since you began

250. suppressing your mana.

251. I suppose I was right about you after all.

252. You've grown much better at that.

253. Now tell me, you still love magic, don't you?

254. That was rather out of the blue, Master.

255. But yes, somewhat.

256. Your confidence has waned over time.

257. Long ago, you told me you loved the craft with fervor.

258. It's only been 50 years since then.

259. A smart girl.

260. All this time, and the only thing I've taught

261. my apprentice to do is fight.

262. Magic fit for revenge.

263. Is that something you regret?

264. Not a bit.

265. No one's better suited to hold onto the secrets

266. of my magic than you.

267. You're going to live a long life.

268. Perhaps someday you'll become strong enough

269. to defeat the Demon King.

270. Frieren, I do have one request.

271. What is it?

272. All I ask is that you plant flowers

273. around my grave.

274. That doesn't seem like you.

275. I know.

276. Frieren.

277. I have a spell that creates a field of flowers.

278. To tell you the truth, it's actually my favorite one.

279. My parents taught it to me when I was a girl.

280. It's what made me fall in love with magic.

281. Hm.

282. Then I'd like you to teach it to me.

283. Listen to me, Frieren.

284. You must never seek to leave your mark on history.

285. There's safety in obscurity.

286. And once you've finally defeated the Demon King,

287. rest assured the whole world shall know your name.

288. I've heard a seasoned mage

289. lives somewhere in these woods.

290. Is that mage you?

291. Seasoned in the sense I've been around, perhaps.

292. But I've done precious little with my years.

293. I'm in no way exceptional.

294. Hm.

295. What do you think, Heiter?

296. Hm.

297. I would say she has approximately

298. one fifth of the mana I do.

299. Fairly middle of the road.

300. Way to make a first impression.

301. Now move along.

302. You don't have business with a mediocre mage, do you?

303. No.

304. But you're easily the strongest mage

305. I've ever laid eyes on.

306. And what would make you say that?

307. Call it a hunch.

308. Auserlese.

309. You seem awfully happy with yourself.

310. Are you so certain you'll win, Aura?

311. We'll find out soon enough.

312. Frieren the Slayer.

313. It's been 80 years since you made

314. your first meaningful appearance in this world.

315. With the party of heroes, you defeated the Demon King.

316. It makes one wonder just how long

317. you've had to study your magic.

318. Unfortunately for you,

319. it matters not how many years you've managed to survive.

320. Your mana tells me everything I need to know.

321. I can see it clearly.

322. There is no question you're an exceptional mage,

323. but your mana itself is unimpressive.

324. I would wager you've had no more

325. than a 100 years' training.

326. Not only that, it's been 80 years,

327. and you haven't grown a bit.

328. Were you honing other skills

329. instead of increasing your mana?

330. Or were you piddling your life away?

331. Just as expected.

332. You are absolutely no match for me.

333. - As you can see, I win.

334. I shall consider it an honor

335. to sever the head of the Slayer myself.

336. I'm shocked that it wasn't even necessary

337. to exhaust her mana.

338. I needn't have been so cautious.

339. Though, she did defeat a decent amount of my troops.

340. I'll have to replenish them later.

341. Hm.

342. What's this?

343. The scales are starting to tip in her direction.

344. You're the one who opted to gamble

345. with my soul, Aura.

346. To tell you the truth, I would've been in real trouble

347. if you had tried to overwhelm me with numbers.

348. I'm grateful for your overconfidence

349. when it comes to your mana.

350. Now I can finally defeat you.

351. Oh, can you now?

352. You really should've figured it out.

353. I've been suppressing my mana.

354. A grave miscalculation on your part, Aura.

355. Valiant last-ditch effort,

356. but there's no chance that could've escaped my notice.

357. There wasn't a hint of the instability

358. or variation in your mana output

359. that comes with suppression.

360. I'm surprised.

361. Demons are capable of observing mana with such accuracy?

362. Seems my master was right in her methods after all.

363. I've spent the better part of my life

364. in a constant state of suppression.

365. It has become natural for me.

366. You're dimmer than I thought.

367. Why would you ever do something so foolish?

368. Foolish, yes. But powerful.

369. It lets me defeat your kind.

370. This is absurd.

371. I'm a great demon who has lived for over 500 years.

372. Aura, the one standing before you...

373. is a great mage who's lived for over a 1,000.

374. Frieren?

375. Just as demons deceive mankind with their words,

376. you must deceive them with your mana.

377. Aura. Kill yourself.

378. This can't be.

379. No.

380. How could I ever...
