Chapter 114

The Sword of the Hero (の) is the one hundred and fourteenth chapter of Kanehito Yamada and Abe Tsukasa's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Summary
Right after the events of the previous chapter, after defeating the Abyssal Dragon, the Hero Party searches the abandoned village but finds no clues. They continue their search and arrive in a newly settled village, where a villager directs them to a dwarf blacksmith named Kiesel. Kiesel states that his old village used to have some books on the Goddess's Monuments, and he'll tell them the location if he can take a closer look at the Hero's Sword. Himmel allows him to, and readily admits that the sword is fake. Kiesel reveals that he is te one who created this forgery. He thanks Himmel for bringing the sword back to him and offers to give him a new sword worthy of the Hero free of charge, but Himmel tells him that the sword is now his partner in arms, and he will wield it until the world is at peace. Kiesel, seeing his determination, sharpens the sword instead. He then directs them to his old village, which has become a den of monsters.
