Demons are the main antagonists in Frieren Beyond Journey’s End. Their lifespan is too long. They lived for hundreds of years. Even the Demon King lived for over millennia. Demons have a large amount of mana, incredible magic skills, and are physically very strong.
7. Qual
Qual is a powerful demon and an exceptional sorcerer who served the Demon King. He single-handedly eliminated 40% of adventurers and 70% of sorcerers in the Größe Forest region. Despite his formidable strength, the Hero’s party couldn’t vanquish him, compelling Frieren to seal him away until she could muster the power to defeat him. It took mankind eighty years to decipher Qual’s magic and devise a countermeasure.
His keen intellect enabled him to quickly discern the workings of a defensive spell tailored to thwart his own magic, deducing its high mana consumption and crafting a strategy to overcome it. His renowned spell, Zoltraak, was the pioneering piercing magic capable of penetrating humanity’s defensive spells and magical resistance gear, laying the foundation for the contemporary magic system following research by sorcerers across the continent.
6. Aura
Aura the Guillotine is one of the members of the Seven Sages of Destruction. Her unique magic, Auserlese, is her trademark ability, allowing her to manipulate the souls of others by weighing their mana against her own on the Scales of Obedience. If her mana surpasses that of her opponent, she gains complete control over their body indefinitely.
However, this control can be resisted by individuals with a strong will. To circumvent this risk, Aura often opts to decapitate those she subjugates. While her magic is undeniably potent, it comes with significant peril, as the wielder with the greater mana risks permanently losing control over their own body. Thus, Aura must constantly gamble with her own life whenever she employs her Scales of Obedience.
5. Grausam
Grausam the Miraculous is a powerful demon. His abilities are formidable; he possesses a rare magic called Memory Manipulation, which allows him to erase and steal memories, making him a formidable adversary.
Grausam possesses the skill of shapeshifting, enabling him to change his appearance and blend seamlessly into any society. One of his most potent spells, Ansehelschella, traps victims in illusions of happy dreams they have forsaken, capable of deceiving even the keenest of observers, including Great Demons. Grausam’s multifaceted powers make him a formidable foe, adding complexity to the challenges faced by those opposing him.
4. Solitar
Solitär is a super powerful demon. She’s so strong that she took down a whole fortified city by herself, and she has a crazy amount of mana, according to Fern. Frieren calls her a nameless greater demon because nobody survived to tell about her. So, Fern was told to run if he ever saw her. Solitär knows human magic really well and has a bunch of spellbooks.
She taught Macht human magic, and she can break through human magic barriers. She can summon swords made of mana and blast her opponents with pure mana in her strongest spell, Mana Strike. Her mana is so dense that it can even get through Frieren’s defense magic. Solitär can make a thick mana shield to protect herself from most spells, except for really strong ones like Zoltraak, but she figures out how to deal with that weakness later on.
3. Schlacht
Schlacht, also known as the Omniscient Schlacht, was believed to be a powerful demon who served as the right-hand man to the Demon King. Legend has it that he possessed the extraordinary ability to glimpse into the future, seeing events unfold up to a thousand years ahead. During the reign of the Demon King, Schlacht held authority over the Seven Sages of Destruction, demonstrating his significant influence in the demon realm.
However, his reign of power met its end when the Hero of the South confronted him, along with three of the Sages of Destruction, in a battle that marked a turning point. This clash occurred roughly a decade prior to the eventual defeat of the Demon King, showcasing the pivotal role played by Schlacht in the saga of good versus evil.
2. Macht
Macht, a formidable demon known as the strongest among the Seven Sages of Destruction, wields immense power, as evidenced by his ability to potentially turn vast areas into gold using his signature spell, Diagoldze. Despite being a mage, he is a formidable physical fighter, wielding a great sword made through his magic. His agility and strength are such that he can easily overpower seasoned demon fighters and break through powerful defensive magic.
Macht’s precise mana detection makes it nearly impossible for intruders to escape his notice, extending even across the transmuted Golden Land. Despite constantly employing his magic, his mana remains undetectable, adding to his eerie presence. He had knowledge of human magic, including defensive spells and proficiency in Zoltraak, indicating his broad magical prowess. However, his inability to reverse the effects of Diagoldze on living beings, due to a lack of understanding of humanity, underscores his monstrous nature and equates his use of the curse with death.
1. Demon King
Demon King is the most powerful individual in the series. Even Though he is Killed By the Hero Party. Before Hero Party he Ruled in the world Thousands of years. Demon King was a remarkably powerful figure, his authority stemming from his exceptional strength. Though much remains unknown about his abilities, his control over other demons suggests formidable power. Eisen’s mention of the challenges faced in the Demon King’s castle hints at the difficulty of confronting him. Described as an eccentric demon by Solitär, he shared her intelligence and scientific curiosity, particularly about humanity.
Like Macht and Solitär, he sought to understand humans and foster coexistence, delving into extensive research on their biology and differences from demons. Notably, he developed the theory of convergent evolution, exploring the distinctions between mammals and aquatic life. Serie highlights his remarkable mana sensitivity, surpassing even his powerful subordinates. He could instantly detect Frieren’s concealed mana and discern disruptions in the world’s space-time, accurately identifying her as a time traveler.
