Episode 7 of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End began with Elfen Mage and her companions aiding a traveling merchant in reaching the neighboring town by clearing the path of obstacles. Subsequently, they joined the annual Liberation Festival held in that town.
It was discovered that the Liberation Festival honored the valor of Hero Himmel and his companions. Subsequently, they arrived at Graf Granat's territory, where Frieren bravely confronted a demon. As a result of openly targeting the demon in front of the audience, the Elfen mage was apprehended and thrown into a dungeon.

After the tumultuous event, Frieren's young mage apprentice Fern, accompanied by the warrior Stark, sought out Frieren urgently. They conveyed the unsettling news that the demon envoy, who had recently visited their town, was in fact a servant of Aura. Frieren explained that Aura was a demon who faithfully served the fearsome Demon King.
Armed with this knowledge, Frieren felt compelled to caution Fern and Stark about the treacherous nature of demons. She shared her deep concern that if these sinister creatures were not dealt with swiftly, the town would suffer unimaginable devastation. A poignant flashback further highlighted the demons' capacity for deceit, as they cunningly learned the language of humans to ensnare and mislead them.
Lord Lugner, as depicted in the image from Madhouse, is a Demon envoy who unveiled his desire to forge a peaceful alliance with Granat. His intention behind this proposition was to persuade Granat to diminish its defenses, thus facilitating Aura's infiltration into the town.
One of Lord Lugner's subordinates became aware of the danger Frieren presented. Consequently, he ventured into the dungeon with the purpose of eliminating the mage. However, Frieren maintained her composure and confidently proclaimed that she possessed even greater strength than the formidable demon Aura.
