- Flamme.
- Call me Master.

What is it?

Do you really think it's a dirty trick?

Frieren, do you remember
Basalt's last words?

I don't.

They use words to deceive humans.

That's right. They are nothing but
monsters who can speak.

That is the reality of those beings
that I call demons.

They play dirty tricks.

And so we have to play
even dirtier tricks.

If that's what it takes
to eliminate the demons,

I will gladly accept a bad reputation.

ORIGINAL STORY BY
KANEHITO YAMADA / TSUKASA ABE

I can't stop bleeding.

So this is it, huh?

With this, your plan has failed.

I guess so.

But Frieren won't be left unharmed.

She must be fighting Mistress Aura by now.

Last time, we had to retreat
because of the party of heroes,

but now there are no heroes
to protect Frieren.

Frieren is no doubt a threat to us.

But her level of mana
is nothing compared to Mistress Aura.

If she fights her head-on,

Frieren will definitely lose.

If that's the case,
Mistress Frieren will win.

She's not the type of person
who would ever fight a demon head-on.

She will kill Aura by deceiving her.

What nonsense... As far as I can remember,

Frieren the Slayer has always
fought us head-on...

Why do I feel like I'm missing something?

This girl's mana is weak...

But I was overpowered by the amount
of magic that she fired at great speed.

So how was she able to do that
without running out of mana?

I see!

I can't believe it...

So Frieren is the same as you?

How dirty.

You two should be ashamed
to even call yourselves mages.

Mistress Frieren knows that all too well.

How horrible...

A village of elves, huh?

Basalt the Throne,

one of the Demon Generals
of the Demon King's army.

I'm guessing he led his troops
to destroy the village.

Are you the one who killed him?

You half-dying girl.

What immense mana.

I bet you're strong.

Did you fight the demons head-on?

How ridiculous. That's so stupid.

Why do people try to fight them head-on?

You can run, hide,
or catch them by surprise.

There are so many other options.

I don't understand
what it feels like to be a powerful mage.

You should know.

Huh?

You should know how I feel.

Because you are

a much more powerful mage than me.

What made you think so?

It's a hunch.

What's your name?

- What happened to the village?
- Completely annihilated.

The women and children were killed too.

I couldn't protect them.

Even though I was the strongest.

You really are stupid.

If I were you, I would've run away
without even thinking.

- Let me down.
- I won't.

You have talent,
so I'm taking you in as my apprentice.

And I'm sure you're aware of it,

but if I hadn't passed by,
you would've died.

On top of failing to protect the village,

you were about to die.

That's what you call dying in vain.

We're being followed.

They're stronger
than the general you killed.

Aren't they funny?

They concealed their mana
until the last minute

and were obviously trying to ambush us,

but as soon as
they saw that we were mages,

they proudly showed themselves.

They play dirty tricks and are cunning,

but they all have a ridiculous sense
of pride when it comes to magic.

Human mage,

leave that elf behind.

Will you let me go if I do?

The Demon King's orders were to massacre

all of the elves.

I don't care about your life.

Is that right?

Frieren,

it's true that I know too well
how powerful mages feel.

And I know exactly how
these demons feel too.

They have pride and confidence

in the magic that they've
devoted their lives to studying.

In other words,
it's worthless arrogance and carelessness.

Frieren, unlike you, these demons

assumed that I was weak.

They were excellent mages
of a higher caliber,

but they died
because they let their guard down.

You limit the amount of mana that emits
from your body to hide your strength?

That's right.

I take advantage of their misconception
of my mana to deceive and kill them.

It's a dirty and despicable method

that makes a mockery of honorable magic.

Your wounds are looking much better.

Shall we start training soon?

- Flamme.
- Call me Master.

Demons took everything away from me.

Me too.

I hate them so much
I want to eliminate all of them.

Me too.

But I like magic.

I do too.

So we don't need anyone else
to play dirty tricks that

make a mockery of magic.

What do I have to do to train?

Try to let out less than a tenth of
the amount of mana you usually emit.

As I expected, you're suppressing it well.

Any elf can do this much.

Now keep that up
while learning the basics.

We'll increase your fundamental mana.

- That's all?
- It's easy, right?

By the way, for how long
do I have to suppress my mana?

It's tiring to do it for too long.

For as long as me.

Your entire life.

You will deceive demons
for as long as you live.

Lügner died.

Now all of your executioners are gone.

You failed, Aura.

Yes, that's too bad.

But if I can defeat you here,

that'd be a worthy achievement.

In this battle, you released

many of my immortal soldiers
from my control.

Was it really wise to

expend that much mana in front of me?

The Scales of Obedience.

You place both souls on the scale

and the being with greater mana
subjugates the other.

Aura is able to use
this risky spell because of her

tremendous amount of mana.

Generally, mana increases

according to the amount of time
you have trained.

I can tell from the mana that Aura emits

that she is a greater demon
that has lived over 500 years,

and that she has dedicated
most of her life to training.

500 years, huh?

That's a very long time, even for a demon.

She must've been invincible up until now.

I can get this much information
just from the mana emitting from her body.

Despite that,
demons don't hide their mana.

They can't hide it.

How pitiful.

Auserlese.

Master,

demons are cunning, right?

Why don't they suppress their mana
at all times, like you do?

They just can't.

Although demons are
all about individualism,

in order to fight humans,

they need at least
some sort of social structure.

What do you think
is necessary in a society?

- Order?
- That's right.

In other words, you need
an important person to lead the society.

For humans...

In this country, for example,

status and wealth decide who is important.

That well-dressed person who came out
of the palace is important.

It's hard to tell who is important,

so people dress up like that
in order to make it obvious.

Demons are different?

They haven't changed ever since
they were monsters.

Strength equals importance.

It's much easier to tell than humans.

You can see how strong they are.

Mana, right?

To them, mana means the same thing

that status and wealth mean to humans.

You can even say it's their dignity.

They may temporarily hide

their mana as a way to go under the radar,

but no one is stupid enough
to limit their mana on a daily basis.

There's a big difference between a noble
going incognito to visit the castle town

and a noble relinquishing
their status and wealth, right?

And demon society is not kind enough
to give those with little mana

any sense of dignity.

That's why the stronger the demon is,

the more they flaunt their mana.

To them, nothing good comes from
constantly limiting their mana.

The thought doesn't even
cross their minds.

It's pitiful, isn't it?

Just as humans are bound
by status and wealth,

demons are bound by mana.

They take pride in magic

and love magic more than anyone,

but they don't have freedom
over their own mana.

Frieren, you're lucky you weren't a demon.

Yeah. Thanks to that,
I can deceive demons.

It's been three years since you began
suppressing your mana, huh?

I knew I could expect a lot from you.

You look the part now.

Frieren, do you still like magic?

What's this all of a sudden?

So-so, I guess.

In the past,

you said you liked magic
without hesitation.

That was only 50 years ago.

That's true.

In the end,

I could only teach you how to fight.

Spells to get revenge.

- Do you regret it?
- No.

I'm glad that I entrusted
my spells to you.

With your long lifespan,

you'll be able to reach a level
where you can defeat the Demon King.

Frieren, I have one favor to ask you.

What is it?

Make the area around my grave
a field of flowers.

- That's unlike you.
- I know.

Frieren,

my favorite spell

is the spell to create a field of flowers.

My parents taught that to me
when I was small.

It's the reason why
I started to like magic.

Teach me that spell.

Listen, Frieren.

Don't think about
leaving your mark on history.

Live modestly.

You will leave your mark on history
when you kill the Demon King.

I heard there was a mage that has been
living in this forest for ages.

Is that you?

I've been living for a long time,

but I've just been killing time.

It's not like I'm talented.

- What do you think, Heiter?
- Yeah.

Her mana level is about a fifth of mine.

- It's so-so.
- Who is he? How annoying.

Go home.

You don't have any business
with a so-so mage, do you?

No, you're stronger than
any other mage I've ever met.

What makes you think so?

It's a hunch.

Auserlese.

You look happy, Aura.

Are you sure of your victory?

You'll see.

Frieren the Slayer.

People came to know her
for the first time about 80 years ago.

She defeated the Demon King
with the party of heroes.

A mysterious elf mage
whose age is unknown.

But I couldn't care less about how long
you've been living.

Your mana says it all.

I can read you like a book.

You may be a talented mage,

but your mana is nothing special.

You've trained for maybe
a total of 100 years.

Not just that, it hasn't even changed
since 80 years ago.

Maybe you were training
in areas other than mana,

or maybe you were just killing time?

Either way,

you are nothing compared to me.

I win.

Now I will chop off your head myself.

I didn't even have to go out of my way
to exhaust her mana.

I was a little too cautious.

My immortal army suffered
quite a bit of damage,

so I have to replenish them.

What?

The scale is tipping toward Frieren.

You put my soul on the scale, Aura?

Honestly, I would've had a hard time
if you kept attacking with your army.

I'm glad you have
so much confidence in your mana.

I can finally defeat you.

What do you mean?

You should have noticed by now.

I was suppressing my mana.

You judged incorrectly, Aura.

That can't be true.

There's no way
I would fail to notice that.

Your mana was not

unstable or wavering, which are
characteristics of suppressed mana.

I'm surprised.

Demons are able to observe mana
in such detail, huh?

I guess Master's method was right.

I have spent most of my life
suppressing my mana.

Long enough for it to become natural.

Are you stupid?

Why would you do something so pointless?

Yes, it's stupid.

But I can beat you.

Don't be ridiculous!

I'm a greater demon
who has lived over 500 years.

Aura, you are standing in front of

a mage who has lived
more than 1,000 years.

Frieren,

just as demons deceive people with words,

you must deceive demons with your mana.

Aura, kill yourself.

This can't be...

How can I...?

- Is there someone who commends you?
- A journey to heaven, huh?

- You're in great shape.
- The Largest Magical City.

- What is that?
- It's Äußerst.

It means we're elves.

"Winter in the Northern Lands."
