I don't buy it... his "reason" is stupid.

I understand the possibility, Serie has knowledge that no one would be able to acquire... but this feels like a vague "reason" a zealot would give to justify their craziness.

It doesn't mean they are allies... but at least the imperial force aren't the shadow warriors' allies either.

First thank the lord for blessing us with Cat ears Sense. Now we must pray for cat ears Serie.



Ok they want to end Magic by killing Serie wtf? Why? Like actually what is the benefit of this besides giving Demons a monopoly on magic. If another Demon makes a killing spell like Zoltraak that can't be stopped by current means they're literally all screwed. I guess they think the Empire could have a monopoly on magic and deal with any demons? Also, gorilla warrior wtf happened to him? Yes, he is Gorilla warrior I refuse to call him any other name. I really hope Gotee priest and Gorilla warrior reunite without either one dying. Also so Captain Phrase has been constantly surveilling the entire capital with her mana detection but it's been only detected by Serie and Frieren? Still, even Frieren and other mages are unable to really perceive Phrase due to how weak it is and Serie is making her mana detection obvious and flashy to pick a fight with Phrase?

Also poor Nun got ptsd from Ferns Zoltraak snipe. We also see why they all think the head priest shadow warrior is trash. He truly has an awful personality.

Ubel talking with Fern was nice to see as well.

sein… im sorry :”(
this might be the most serious i’ve seen frieren be about anything.
fern’s soultrack causes psychic damage.
“to rid the world of magic” is REAL dumb.
“well, they are close friends” frieren is that how you see it?! cute. you may not be wrong.
cat ears sense was a treat. maybe we will get cat ears serie eventually.
i’m a little confused about the “weak mana” - is that their unknown enemy?

actually it looks like captain phrase is the “unknown enemy”

My theory is that now that the demon king is dead they dont think that magic is needed anymore, the might of the warriors should be enough and a magic user does suffer when fighting a warrior so dealing with the demons without magic should be the hardest thing.
But now I wonder how tf would killing her bring the end of magic, sure the magic association is done for, she is the sole pillar no other mage could take her place not even frieren but like magic would still be taught even if they end that education on the empire nothing is stopping the other nations.
And does that include priest magic? Because if so thats even dumber, going to kill the goddess next?

Lol, Serie is so petty. She used her mana detection in a super flashy way to not only pick a fight with Phrase, but to one-up Frieren and show how immature in magic she is because she couldn't notice Phrase's mana detection watching them. Frieren was only able to perceive it thanks to Serie's flashy move.

I guess Serie wasn't lying when she said Frieren is weak for her age.

Frieren couldn't perceive Phrase surveillance either, that's why she says "You don't have to do such a thing for me to already know that I'm immature" and "I honestly wonder why I never noticed"

Serie helped her out. She made her mana detection super flashy so that it could create a mutual interference of mana detection big enough for Frieren to notice. That, and she's also picking a fight with Phrase, like you said.

Phrase was using a super weak mana detection to watch over the imperial capital and Frieren never noticed. Serie came in and used a super flashy mana detection for two reasons: to one-up Frieren for never noticing and warn her they are being watched, and to pick a fight with Phrase (the someone Frieren was unable to perceive).

I see.
Still at least Fern says Frieren did say she felt like they were under constant surveillance since entering the capital. So it's not like she was totally unaware though she definitely needed Serie to create that spark to confirm it wasn't just a feeling. Really shows the difference between Serie and Frieren while also the ability of Phrase at the same time. Serie isn't on another level just because she's the living grimoire with like all the spells and has a mana pool probably at least 10 times Frierens but also because she has the experience and skill far beyond nearly every character we know. Making sense that she called Frieren unskilled for her age so even though Frieren is skilled beyond most human mages she's still quite untrained to Serie. The only one who might've been a match to Serie was the demon king probably.

Between the Shadow Warriors and Special Forces of Magic, the Empire is honestly terrifying. I have no doubt Frieren, Fern and Stark will come out fine out of this, but anyone else is uncertain in this situation. Although, Frieren says Serie is un-killable, so I will trust that judgement too
she also said that only among mage that's she un-killable

Also, wouldn't the demons still have magic? Seems like a dumb thing to strive for, wonder when/if we get a flashback to the reason for it.
Yeah, in this world, getting rid of "magic" seems like trying to get rid of "science". Even if you killed all the scientists and burned all the textbooks, there's no real way to stop people from re-discovering the same things again. And like you said, unless they got rid of all the demons as well (and they clearly have not, yet) they'll still have magic too. Either the leader of the shadow warriors is pants-on-head insane, or he has another agenda...
