(L) Sousou no Frieren (葬送のフリーレン)

[Shadow5YA]

I think that Frieren was probably trying to bait Macht into getting angry and killing out of malice so that the bracelet would force him to commit suicide, but unfortunately Macht couldn't comprehend that emotion yet.

[Twi]

So Macht's reason for all of this is trying to figure out what guild and malice are in the end?

I imagine he'd die happy if she pulled that off because he felt it for the first time and his curiosity would be sated.

[Twi]

Sousou no Frieren updated to 88. Macht goes out of his way to ponder the reason for guilt and malice being absent even as he notes that there is no meaning it as their race would have gone extinct if they had in the first place. I still don't see co-existence happening under any circumstance though.

[Shadow5YA]

It sounds like Schlacht has a plan for the demons to come back, even after the Demon Lord's death.

[Twi]

Sousou no Frieren updated to 89. So Macht is ultimately forced to assist the others in taking out the Hero of the South because they have someone who can see the future and he's pretty much the only one who can make it out, but he's also supposed to have his memories read in the future so they wre going to be wiped. Then the Demon in question tells Frieren that she cannot witness that battle since it will be relevant to the demon's survival. The sheer fact that they had someone who could see that far into the future and still lost is worrisome, because it means the story is still heading towards a relevant encounter.

[Twi]

Manga updated to 90. So now we see how he ended up in the city and his original pact.

[James Rye]

Seems Macht took quite a liking to Glück and Glück was one hell of a dare devil to make such a deal with one of the most powerful demons in existence. And it paid off as he became the new lord of the city state, until well, the whole becoming gold incident.

[Twi]

Sousou no Frieren updated to Chapter 91. After the defeat of the Demon King by Himmel, the Gluck family officially granted Macht the title of their personal mage. His intention is to show him what Justice and Sin is, with the ideal that eventually he'll understand. He has them earn the trust of the nobles by killing the demons who intend to attack the city, which he does because he has no concept of loyalty, and then takes to instructing Denken who wants to become strong enough to kill him, who is the strongest among the Seven Sages of Destruction.

[Twi]

New update. We see the end of the memories. Gluck went out with a smile.

[DragonOsman]

I wonder if Frieren and the others can help him understand the emotions he wanted to understand. Would be great if they can.

Wow, Serie is abnormal strong. She styled on Macht like he was a little school boy. o.o
New demon girl spells trouble if she breaks that cage that keeps Macht in.

I'm pretty sure that's Solitar, the demon girl from Macht's memories.

[Twi]

To be fair, age is strength as far back as with Aura and Serie is even older than her from the look of it. She had all the time to master magic and the passion as well, so she's definitely deserving of that title or Archmage.

[Shadow5YA]

Yep, just as I expected Solitar broke the barrier.

[James Rye]

And 2 days earlier than Frieren needed to decipher Macht's memories.

[Twi]

Oh crud. Whelp, place your bets on whether or not Denken is going to die by the end of the arc.

[Diluc]

Dear author please dont kill her like you did with Aura.

Cant we have a recurring living cute demon for once.

[Shadow5YA]

I think Macht will die, while Solitar will live. There's no guarantee that she'll get directly involved in the impending fight anyway.

[Twi]

Sousou no Frieren updated to 95. So Solitar has broken Macht out because she wants to have her own theory proven, and Frieren is currently out of commission since she's rushing the memory analysis, so that just leaves Fern and Stark to meet with Solitar. She claims she doesn't want to fight, but with how strong she is the fact that none of them knew her triggers Fern since it means that the only reason no one knew about them means they massacred everyone who encountered them. And she immediately proves because she wants to talk... by basically crippling them so that they can't fight back or run away, so long as they can speak its fine.

There's that alien mindset again.

[Twi]

Sousou no Frieren updated to 96.

While the kids hold off one demon, Denken stays behind from the group to deal with Macht. Denken states he chose not to fight because he had a sliver of hope that Macht could restore their home, but since he plans to eliminate anyone who knows about him so he can start over in a different land, Denken decides to take him on. He puts up an impressive fight, but since Macht is in a hurry he decides to just turn him into gold... except he gets it turned on him thanks to the same magic Serie used in the past to reverse curses cast against the user. It's explained that rather than teaching it, she transfered the magic that took her one-hundred years to learn over to him, at the expense of never being able to use it herself. Though, as she points out, she can just relearn it because a hundred years is a blink of the eye for her. Just another reminder that Elves have a skewed sense of time to humans.
