Chapter 63

The Hero of the South (の) is the sixty-third chapter of Yamada Kanehito & Abe Tsukasa's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Summary
Twenty-nine years after the death of the Hero Himmel, Frieren's Party are in Fabel Village. They receive a request to polish a hero's statue. To Fern and Stark's surprise, it is not a statue of Himmel, but of the Hero of the South. Frieren explains the feats of the Hero of the South, who killed three of the Seven Sages of Destruction and the Omniscient Schlacht and wiped out the Demon King's frontline troops. As they clean up his statue, Frieren recalls meeting the Hero of the South while she was living in the Central Lands. He is unable to convince her to join him, but he tells her his secret: he can actually see the future, and has foreseen he will die in a year. However, he tells Frieren that a young hero will visit her soon and that she will defeat the Demon King with him; he asks her to tell this hero that he, humanity's greatest hero, promises he will blaze a path to the future, even if he doesn't make a mark on history. Frieren finishes polishing his statue and thinks that he has, in fact, made his mark in history.
