Sure the story is set after the demon king but the demon threat in the northern lands seems to be somehow worse than in the time of Himmel and we're hyping up Fern as the most powerful human mage since Flamme, possibly more powerful. So the question is: if you wanted to wrap up a series like this, and you wanted to show Fern's strength and Frieren's growth and her trust in Fern, who do you have Fern defeat?

Tbh rather than death flags the vibe I get from Serie is that she wants to toss the mages into conflict, so they get tested from trial by fire. The expected outcome of a political power struggle is the strong rule the weak, so what Serie might be hoping for here is for the mages to somehow settle this in a more humanitarian manner.

Thanks for the translation!!! God this hits so hard yet again. Great alt costume design, and right on the cusp of a massive event…but then, hiatus. It’ll probably be another few months again before we see anything. But love this one all the same.

Serie. Serie don't fukin say that. Serie, you're talking like you're going to final boss the entire ball and force everyone to cooperate to kill you. DON'T YOU DARE-
i felt like that too somehow, i think she plan to disappear nad let magic flourished (?) contradict with what shadow warrior wants.

Grandma just wants to have a good talk with her granddaughter 😭 Flamme mentioned and Serie dropped the nonchalant gimmick, granny cant catch a break now.

Well, considering how much information we got in this chapter. Each page holds about 5 time more info than your casual fantasy manga. Seems fair. I'm full. And I still have to think about Serie's words.

My favourite part was about how Serie and Ubel are vibing about indiscriminate violence.

Also, expect more "Ubel/Land fanart" in coming months

Fern, if you want to fit into that corset dress to the point where you can't breathe... first, STOP STUFFING YOURSELF WITH SWEETS LIKE A BELUGA WHALE!!!

A hiatus, huh? I pray that this is for the anime's second season, and not something else...

”Future that i can not attain, may be attained by you people”

Does this mean, that Serie truly fears that she is in path to certain death that can not be avoided. Or is she hoping that they may accomplish something impossible?
old heads have this kind of talk all the time. She's ancient old and kinda desperate, the analogy she used with the 1st class mages is a good example. Half of the people come to her wanting for more power will get more powerful(demon-like), but those who wished for something else will exceed her expectations(they get stronger even though they didnt wish for it). If we are not talking about the massive demon spell from a hundred years ago that will destroy the planet, she prolly has a doomer gimmick and a nihilistic viewpoint on the destruction of mankind and magic. She's making a bet on the unpredictable nature of these ordinary no power-seeking people to make a difference, just like her pupil(daughter) betted on the potential of humanity to create a magic-based empire that now aims for her head.
