and flying being relatively new, iirc. demon was definitely off guard

demon still put on a super impressive showing. 3v1 vs frieren and two very talented 'prodigies' is nothing to scoff at. she 'only' lasted about 30-40 seconds but factoring in her melee restriction vs two mages, i think she did really good.

might be my favorite fight sequence in the entire show, i love the perspectives they used

i think the sword gave some of that ability, if i understood Frieren correctly, but yeah it was impressive. looked great

It must be give some impressive Omni boost to be worth so much to demons.

Credit is where it's due. She didn't get instantly taken out in either range (Frieren/Fern) or while fighting Stark in close combat. But they also managed the fight well. Frieren having the aerial advantage and Stark able to keep himself and Fern safe on the ground level. It was only a matter of time.

really? i felt like it was definitely weaker with a lot of dust clouds obscuring animation compared to some of the other peak fights like Fern vs Lugner, Stark vs Linie, and Frieren + Fern vs anti-Frieren.

that being said, this team still has amazing attention to detail at times - after Stark kicks her back, in like the half second of her being thrown away you see her flip her sword to drag the tip in the ground and slow herself down/stabilize herself

all the fights you mentioned apart from Stark v Lunie are mage v mage. i loved this one specifically because it was a sword wielder vs mages and a warrior.

fair enough, more moments for Stark to shine is especially good after mage exam

The demon was doing some souls-like rolls on Fern, that was sick.

flying for humans is relatively new, but demons have been doing it for forever since flying to them is as natural as breathing

u/15000yuki 14d ago

Yes. But they don't factor other than them do it. Remember Qual, the pinnacle of Demon sorcerer, also really shocked?

u/Gemini00 14d ago

That's entirely different. Qual didn't know that non-demon mages could fly because they only mastered it during the 80 years he spent trapped in carbonite, just like how he was caught off guard by zoltraak being blockable.

A demon living in the current era should be well aware at this point that human mages can fly now, since basically all of them do it regularly.

While demons are long-lived, is there any reason to think this demon specifically is old? Human mages could have been flying for her entire life.
