Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 10 Ch. 89 - Guilt

[ProWaterDrinker]

Why didn't Macht just turn the Hero of the South to gold? It's an unavoidable and unblockable guaranteed insta kill attack, why doesn't he use it more often in dangerous fights?

Huh, interesting, I wondered why the hero of the south would choose to die at that battle rather than just waiting to team up with Himmel when he arrived. He must have done something at that battle to disrupt the contingency plan of the demons. Maybe created a weakness that wasn't there before and now, the future is up in the air. Since both he and that demon could see the future, what happened then must have been crucial for both sides to win and now, victory depends on if Frieren can piece it together.

If Macht needs "things" to create gold, I wonder if Grausam powers is to eliminate things from existence, how else would he be a match for Macht?

I thought that Grausam could attack from long distances, just like Fern did at her last battle. So I guess that'd be his weak point.

It's implied he doesn't have any interest in fighting, they state he's only there to make the threat. They don't know he can see the future, making his presence useless.

According to

Spoiler: Future Spoilers

the time travel arc, Grausam can cloak his presence from the senses of other. So he could in theory fool Macht into casting diagoldze in the wrong direction of his target. Or his intense yearning and flawed process of understanding human race for potential co-survival can be made into an illusion by Grausam where Macht succeeds.

Schlatt does mention Macht commits a pathetic oversight in the battle against Hero of the South that it's better for Macht to forget the battle too. It could be Macht casts diagoldze but HoTS predicts and counters it. How he counters is up for debate. If he can envision thousands years into future like Schlatt then maybe he gets to know Frieren's analysis of diagoldze?
