Sousou no Frieren - Ch. 139 - Blacksmith Kreis

[Renko]

If their goal is actually to eliminate magic from the world i can get down with that. As fun as it is to read about, to actually live in a world with that kind of constant threat and built in caste system would be a nightmare for regular people. Getting rid of it would be the real world equivalent of eliminating nuclear weapons and making a significant advancement for equality at the same time. (Okay, maybe not that significant since we're still talking about an empire with secret police and rogue death squads, but... you know... it's something.)

Demons: LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES!

😈

I was imagining something like a weird ritual sacrifice thing where killing serie would wipe out all magic in the world period, including for demons. Probably not the direction the story is actually going in, but it's what popped into my head.

I'm just wondering if they'll manage to push Serie hard enough for her to reveal she's concealing her true power level just like Frieren is.

The joke about "warrior gorilla" as a name has come to a close within this chapter. Let us have a moment of silence as an homage to its departure.

Maybe. Also I wouldn't say they're unprepared, they certainly are very prepared, it's more whether they truly understand the enemy or their capabilities, like are they underestimating the target or overestimating themselves.

The current one, she has had apprentices for way longer and was a well known mage likely involved in some manner with the other organisations preceeding it. The point is the demons never seem to have bothered disturbing her/their interference affected her in no way, even though she'd probably feature high in their threat list.

She didn't take apprentices in such a large scale, tho. She literally said that she made the association to fulfill flamme's wishes. So i highly doubt she care much about helping any organization before this one

Yeah, but what helped humanity deal with the demons is their fast development of magic systems to handle what the demons were throwing at them, which in itself gets accelerated by proper organization. Obviously that happened before the development of the modern organizations, but we've been shown that the CMA isn't the first to exist, Frieren has stated that lots come and go.

This is all based on my assumption though, of whatever they intend when they say they want to "rid the world of magic". Either way, demons like Tot and Solitar will keep existing while most, if not all, of humanity is deprived of essential tools to deal with them.

We already saw how OP humanity can be even without magic, tho. Like himmel killing a monster as a child using only a knife. Or how that dwarf warrior single handedly take back 1/3 of the lands from the demons. Not to mention the hero of the south. So i'd still wager that not having magic doesn't mean humans can't fight back against demons. It's harder for sure, but still doable
