Chapter 73

Encounter Battle is the seventy-third chapter of Yamada Kanehito & Abe Tsukasa's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Summary
Right after the events of the previous chapter, the group of mages splits up. Stark stays with Genau to guard the corpses in town while Frieren, Fern, and Methode head off to search for demons. Genau tells Stark that he is a good man, but he won't survive long; Genau himself does not know what he's doing here after everything he has abandoned. Meanwhile, Methode, Fern, and Frieren trek through the forest. They are found by two unnamed demons who create a fog made of mana and split the mages up. Frieren decides to leave the fight to Fern, since she is the first-class mage.
