People really worrying about "wow, human-like demons that can group themselves in a society are truly evil? so lame, thats not very woke from you author-san" like bruh, why everyone needs to find a twist on everything? we still dont know where this is going and even if at the end they are just "evil" and nothing more, thats fine.
The story itself told us that Demons know that Humans see value on things like emotions, words and bonds, they ARE aware that the more Demons resemble Humans, the harder is for Humans to go against them, this very chapter prove it, thats how they fight. At the end, its not that they are just evil either, they just are NOT humans. Thats the main source of the problem in this "arc", demons, even if look like humans and behave like them, are NOT humans, and thats what the people in the manga (and the comments) forget, they all are falling into their trap, only Frieren who is as old as many other demons is aware of their true nature. is there gonna be a twist? we dont know, its too early for us to tell what exactly author-san is trying to tell us with this arc or how this gonna affect Frieren. The only thing we know is that Frieren knows that Demons want everything but peace and the same demons confirmed it this chapter, yet people are tryng to find something else from it.
Draht said that he wanted to finish off Freiren cuz thats what Lugner wanted, (its just that Draht seems like a young? demon and went by his own to finish her) so at least we know that Freiren is at least kinda right about her suspicions and thats why the demons wanna get rid of her.
