Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2023) s01e08 Episode Script
Sôsô no Furîren

Who are you?
It's outside of visiting hours.
I am Draht, a servant
and executioner of Aura the Guillotine.
I'm here to kill you.
I see. You're done playing diplomat?
It's just beginning.
Just to let you know, I'm strong.
Stronger than me?
Stronger than Aura the Guillotine.
- That's hard to believe.
- Why?
Because it's already over for you.
A wire made of mana, huh?
That's interesting magic.
You concentrated mana around your neck
and stopped it from slicing?
You're pretty calm.
Any other mage would've been decapitated
without realizing a thing.
However, this wire is one of
the strongest among demon magic.
Human magic cannot do anything about it.
I will slice right through your mana.
I agree, I don't think I can do
anything about this wire.
He thinks he won with just this, huh?
This generation of demons is no good.
They're inexperienced in actual combat.
She
cut my arm!
You bitch
Wait! Let's talk
One down
If I report this assault to the Graf
and take care of the other two,
I'm sure I'll be granted amnesty.
The guard is dead
ORIGINAL STORY BY
KANEHITO YAMADA / TSUKASA ABE
This is delicious.
Master told me that
a town with good food
is a peaceful, good town.
That probably applies here.
- Master Stark.
- You can't have this.
Let's appeal directly
to Graf Granat and have him
release Mistress Frieren.
It's only a matter of time
until this town is harmed.
Let's get Mistress Frieren out of prison
and have her take down the demons.
I guess that's our only choice.
We're no match for them.
Especially that guy named Lügner.
He's ridiculously strong.
He was only looking at Frieren.
Even though you and I
and the guards were around
he was only looking at Frieren.
Because to him, he can kill us anytime.
My hands are still shaking.
See? It spilled
and now it looks like I wet myself.
That's how scary he is.
Hurry up and wipe yourself, please.
We have to go.
Lügner is going to be near the Graf.
It might lead to combat.
The party of heroes would still have gone.
You're right. If I shrink back now,
I won't be able to face my master.
Let's go!
You can have that handkerchief.
- What's wrong?
- It's making me weak at the knees.
I can't detect Draht's mana.
He must be dead.
What a fool. He let his guard down.
Let his guard down?
We serve as Mistress Aura's right hand.
We're executioners.
Do you think we'd die
just by letting our guard down?
Who is that mage?
Sorry to make you wait.
The mage we captured escaped prison.
She cut off the guard's head.
That must be troublesome.
I will help in the search.
- Linie excels in mana detection
- No, that's not necessary.
By the way,
you seem to be missing one person.
He's using the restroom.
He'll be back shortly.
Without asking a servant where it is?
Even I could tell that mage
is highly skilled.
Yet she was easily captured by the guards.
She knows how serious of a crime
it is to kill a guard.
Lord Lügner, I will ask you one more time.
Where is your companion?
My goodness
That good-for-nothing Draht.
He ruined everything.
But strangely enough,
this blasted situation that leaves us
with no option but to use violence
brings me irresistible joy.
Graf Granat, what are "words"?
What makes it different from this sword?
No matter what you use,
the weak will always die.
Just like the owner of this sword.
Lügner!
In the end, we're nothing but beasts.
Don't worry, I won't kill you.
You will help us remove
the defense barrier of this town.
We're almost at the Graf's mansion.
Mistress Frieren?
Aren't you Mistress Frieren?
Why are you here?
Don't tell me you escaped?
I had no choice.
While I was in prison,
some demon named Draht attacked me.
I defeated him, but
demons become mana particles
and disappear when they die.
What about that?
He had killed the prison guard.
All that was left at the scene
was a guard that was beheaded by magic
and me, a mage.
How do you view this situation?
You'll be sentenced to death
for killing a guard.
Right? It's too much of a hassle
so I'll leave town.
Please wait.
The remaining demons will roam free.
Are you going to abandon this town?
You two can take them down.
Don't make it sound so easy.
We're no match for them.
You won't fight them
because they're strong?
Plus, I don't think
for a second that you two are
weaker than those demons.
Wait up! We'll fight them!
So please help us, at least!
I'm begging you!
Peek
Wait, please!
- Please, Frieren!
- Don't be stubborn.
- Let's face reality.
- No way
- It's impossible.
- Stop whining.
About ten kilometers from town,
I'm guessing.
That's an immense amount of mana.
Waiting to see our next move, huh?
Aura the Guillotine,
one of the Seven Sages of Destruction.
I hate fighting
strong opponents too, you know.
It's best to get your least favorite tasks
over with first.
Is it okay
that we're sneaking in like this?
Do you want to tell the gatekeeper that
we're here to kill the messenger of peace?
It's eerily quiet.
I love magic.
The famous Elder Sage of Corruption, Qual
Just as he spent most of his life
developing a spell to kill humans
Within our long lifespan, we, demons,
dedicate our entire lives
to researching one kind of magic.
Over a long period of time,
we pursue it day after day.
In ten years,
our magic will be far superior to now
and our power will be
even more unwavering.
However, magic can be very funny.
Like the defense barrier,
which keeps demons out
and protects this town,
made by the Great Mage Flamme.
Magic that a genius created
a thousand years ago
can still surpass modern magic.
I hate geniuses.
They lack the beauty
of accumulated effort.
The management of the barrier
has been passed down
through the Granat family.
The fact that demons like us
were able to enter the town
means that there must be a spell
that controls the barrier.
Tell me what that is.
Maybe I'll give you some time.
Think hard about it.
Making people wait is an effective
diplomatic strategy among humans, right?
If you don't tell us,
all that awaits you is more torture.
There must be a grimoire
about barriers somewhere.
Check the bedroom. I'll search the study.
Oh, you're the adventurer brat
from this afternoon.
I thought my son came
to take me to the afterlife.
You're in horrible shape.
They would go this far?
I'll get you out right away.
- You're trembling.
- Do you have a problem?
No, you're courageous.
My dead son was trembling
before he went to battle too.
Damn! I can't cut the rope.
Is it magic or what?
Forget about me.
I won't make it anyway.
More than that,
get the townspeople to evacuate.
None of them will listen to us
if you're not there anyway.
The Granat family's emblem
is around my neck.
If you show this to the guards,
they will listen to whatever you say.
One more thing, you brat.
Using informal speech with me
is a serious crime in this town.
That's right. If you go now,
I'll let you off the hook.
- Hurry up and go.
- Is that right.
Sorry, old man.
I'm going to break this fancy chair.
I can't pay for damages though!
Master Lügner, there's a rat.
Graf Granat, is he an acquaintance?
No, he's one of the adventurers
from this afternoon.
He probably came to negotiate with me
not knowing
that his comrade already escaped prison.
What a dumb kid.
I see.
Again
You may leave, kid.
- I'll let you off the hook.
- There it is again.
He won't even look at me.
What's wrong? Move out of the way.
If you get in my way, I'll kill you.
Try it then.
He's fast.
But he's just a human after all.
You guarded your vitals, huh?
Your reflexes aren't bad.
But I guess all youths are rash
no matter if you're a demon or human.
You're thoughtless and reckless.
However, I will acknowledge your valor
for standing up against me alone.
Alone?
I see So you really can't see, huh?
Excuse me?
Fern, I created an opening
just as you ordered.
Master Lügner, I detect a mage.
That can't be
A mere human mage was able to
get past Linie's mana detection unnoticed?
And this spell is
- Master Lügner, I will handle this.
- Stop.
Girl, what is this spell?
Ordinary offensive magic.
If I remember correctly,
in your framework of magic
it is called Zoltraak.
You call this Zoltraak?
Don't be ridiculous.
Us demons overcame Zoltraak
more than half a century ago.
Who taught you this spell?
You're just buying time, aren't you?
I will finish you off.
I won't let you.
Fern!
The Graf's injuries are severe.
We don't have time to fight.
Let's retreat.
Yes.
As soon as I stop bleeding,
we'll go after them. You take the warrior.
My blood is on both of them.
I won't lose track of them.
There's no need for you
to kill them yourself, Master Lügner.
I'll take care of the mage too.
If you were hit by her magic
you would have died.
That spell was modified to
specialize in killing demons.
You cannot call it Zoltraak anymore.
It's a spell to kill demons.
That girl's movements seemed familiar.
I have been hit by that same spell before.
I see
I remember now.
It's Frieren.
She greatly helped humans in their
research and analysis of Zoltraak.
The mage who has killed
the most demons in all history.
Frieren the Slayer.
Another genius that I hate.
Master Lügner is going to be mad.
This is crazy.
- Any demon can do it.
- I am at an advantage.
Let's try together.
