Elf mage Frieren and her apprentice Fern set out to find the land where heroes' souls are said to rest, which just so happens to be the location of the Demon King's castle. They soon encounter Eisen's apprentice and discover the Demon King's surviving minions still lurk in the shadows. Frieren's journey reminds her of her adventure years ago with Himmel, and she soon realizes that Aura the Guillotine, one of the seven sages of destruction, has returned.
