Sousou no Frieren - Ch. 135 - Skirmish

[Hennils]

This chapter was in-Sein

Also the Frieren dress image is AI generated again.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but so is the florida shirt one.

Stark barely gets cut from an axe from a demon to the side, but an arrow, shot from kms away, with a bit of poison, pierces right through him like its nothing.

What.

its quite likely that archers and warriors do use mana, but buff their bodies instead of casting spells, so that arrow is probably as deadly as a bullet. last chapter we got that "deadly poison doesnt kill me but i will have a tummyache" from that girl, so its not like theyre just human and thats it, people can be abnormally strong in this setting.
also stark embraced himself to get cleaved in that fight. here he was acting on instinct. its like getting sucker punched vs being on a boxing stance.

MY GOAT IS BACK!

 

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

Wow he is jobbing again amazing.

I'm just wondering about the logistics of how Sein is here
Ain't they going in separate directions in the first place?

 

[NEOO_]

So he can take an arrow clean through the shoulder, then just pull it out and start running like it's nothing? Or was there some healing magic going on there that I missed?

nope, the world building here just sucks, some how warriors are just super strong for no reason, without any explanations, some how regular humans can just train and become strong, if thats the case, its a wonder why mages don't train as well to beable strong as fuck too.

 

[NEOO_]

This is just how warriors are built in this setting. Although it's likely mana is involved in their abilities, minding that a demon could mimic them with magic.

yeah but thats fucking dumb as shit, they never explained why they could do that, without any magic involved they some how have charles atlas super power or some shit.

humans shouldn't beable to do super human feats without any supernatural explanation, that also doesn't explain why mages don't just dual class as warriors and become invincible or some shit, it seems demons are like that as well, being good both are magic and physical fights.

You are literally replying to a post in which I posit that warriors in Frieren's setting achieve what they do by channeling mana (magical power) through their own bodies.

Again, if you carefully read the post you are replying to, I specifically point out that the demon Linie (in the demon negotiations with Graf Granat arc) mimicked warrior abilities via spellcasting.

 

[impendio]

stark instantly jobbing to poison, thats my boy and fucking sein is back just to haal him? Lmao peak!

 

[Azauqyar]

Sein back where there is no methode and bunch of kids 😭

 

[Cashini]

noiceee he is back

 

[Hatysa]

I can already hear Sein asking Stark something like "Do you like getting poisoned?" or "What's the deal with you and poison?" xD
Love the parallel to the first encounter

 

[eviljackspicer]

I'm convinced that the mangaka is better with the slice-of-life with the occasional run in/battle with a demon then dealing with shadow-government-ghey-ops-bullshit.

 

[R2D2TS]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[NullZone]

why are people surprised by the AI art? every filler page Stella adds was AI art for every single chapter

 

[SchroCat]

Stark being useless as usual.
The strongest mage almost got killed by an arrow.
This is becoming a joke

 

[randsilverhand]

fern has been sniping mages left & right from out of mana detection range, now she gets the experience on how it feels to be on the other side of the barrel. Would be a good exp for her

bro just chills with a hole in his shoulder

the author is trying to paint the picture that no one is omnipotent, including frieren & serie. But I get you, from throwing black hole & thunders to almost getting killed by an old man with a knife and a bow user sniper, it feels like kinda forcing it. You'd think they wont live up to 1000+ years if they could get killed that easily
