Chapter 84

Daredevil (らず) is the eighty-fourth chapter of Yamada Kanehito & Abe Tsukasa's Sousou no Frieren.

Summary
Before entering El Dorado, Lernen led Edel to meet one of the last remaining survivors of the Fortified city of Weise, who was a servant of the Gluck family. He had given permission for Edel to read his memories, in the hopes of gathering information on Macht. Edel read the memory of the feudal lord putting the Stone Bracelet of Sovereignty on Macht and retold that the lord ordered Macht not to "hold malice towards the people of Weise".

As they entered El Dorado, Edel remarked how the situation was peculiar, since the gold made from Macht's magic was indestructible and thus cannot be refined, it has no real value in gold and thus contradicts the lord's wish to gain unfathomable riches. When they entered the city, they were quickly discovered by Macht, who said they should have turned back and that because they did not, he had to kill them and make an example for others. Before Macht could launch his attack, Lernen had made his own, telling him that he had never been praised so remarkably.

Plot Details
The Stone Bracelet was used on Macht about 60 years ago. Macht transformed the city into gold about 50 years ago, so he has lived with the humans of the city for about 10 years.

Edel pointed out there were contradictions in the story about Macht's subjugation.

Macht has been brutally killing any intruder into El Dorado and transforming their corpses into gold as "decoration". He remarked that he did not enjoy conflict and thus this measure is to deter future intruders from making it further into El Dorado.

Macht's weapon is the long coat hanging from his left side. He transforms it into a golden sword for battle.

Spells
Di Algoze (Universal Golden Transmutation Magic): a curse which transforms every material in the world into gold. The gold created with this magic cannot be destroyed or altered, and it is imperceptible as magic. It is one of the strongest curses which cannot be dispelled even by the Goddess' magic; it cannot be blocked by defensive magic or evaded. Macht uses this spell to create a sword from the long coat he hanged on his left shoulder.
