In 100 years Himmel will have killed Jormungand 10 times. The legend grows.

Doesn't matter how many times I see it I still get depression seeing Frieren reminisce about Himmel

Somewhere in the northern region there's a statue of Himmel that's like 10 meters tall and has him wrestling a dragon with his bare hands. Locals swear it's life-sized.

Stories have to change because the first time someone does something becomes less and less impressive the more that people do the same, but doing something the first time is the hardest because no one is sure it can be done nor do they know how it can be done. Most of what we do today we see as trivial, but were once amazing feats.

He will have slain 1000 4 Jormundgands 100 times!

LMAO that statue looks like a slightly-less buff Helck

 

[Pouco-chan]

I actually thought it was an older version of Himmel (since the first statues were made when he was still young). That was very good~💦
Thanks for the translation~

1000 meters? Nono, it was 2000 meters. Trust me, I'm an engineer.

 

[Warukyure]

I wonder if we get further north, Himmel statues will get more buff. Can't wait till we see a statue where he looks like he's straight out of Fist of the North Star.

Himmel: Omae wo mou shindeiru.
Demon Lord: nani!?!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Ladies and gentlefolk! Let me tell you the stunning story of the Hero Himmel!

You have all heard the tales of how he singlehandely defeated the Evil Serpent who choked the very earth itself with its body!
But let me tell you another tale, a tale of his tremendous cunning!
You see, one day on his travels he found himself surrounded by enemies. However, our dashing hero did not falter and gave the brutes a riddle. A truly dasterdly riddle, and if any one of them could solve it, he would surrender to them without a fight.

Tell me, are you smart enough to solve the Hero's riddle?


And that is the tale of how the Hero Himmel managed to sneak away from the dreaded inhabitants of the netscape while they all groaned and facepalmed in unison.

Gosh, the statue's sword seems so stubby.

 

[nomadicengi]

I do like it that Himmel's image runs parallel with Christianity where we have images of Jesus Christ being Caucasian but in truth, we have no real images of him to begin with to base his Arabic origins. Welp, that's the renaissance for ya I guess.

Jokes aside, I think people prefer to have a religious image rather than have a hard time imagining it themselves. Word of mouth tend to change farther along the chain anyway but something has to stay consistent to make it unique as well.

Very relatable, I also exaggerate the size of my great serpent.

 

[eviljackspicer]

She should have banged him when she had the chance

I wonder...if there's an afterlife where Himmel's souls resides in, and if he were to be deified enough, could he ascend into an actual god?
