Li Yan Died

With the death of Frieren's clone, Fern's clone didn't last long either, quickly turning to ashes and disappearing before everyone's eyes. With all the clones dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Next, they had to deal with the last guardian inside the door.

"Senior Li Yan, are you alright?"

"Are you injured?"

Lawine and Kanne nervously stepped forward, Frieren also scratched her head and walked forward. She knew Li Yan's physical strength very well, so she wasn't too worried that her senior brother would perish because of this magic.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't felt magic hitting me in a long time."

Li Yan waved her hand and gently stroked Fern's head, comforting Fern who was on the verge of tears.

Zanze watched calmly. No one knew Li Yan's physical strength better than her. Her most prized Hair Attack Magic couldn't break through Li Yan's physique at all.

"Wow, you're small for your size but strong for your physique. It makes me wonder if you're a Warrior's purely trained in physical strength, not a magician."

Übel squinted at Li Yan's body with great interest. She suddenly became interested in Li Yan's body and wanted to take a closer look and study it.

"Übel, what's with your Cutting Magic? How can you cut through the hair of Examiner Zanze, which is protected by Defensive Magic?"

Methode looked at Übel, a serious expression on her face. If Cutting Magic could break through Defensive Magic, then there would be more new ways to deal with Demons.

"Isn't cutting hair a normal thing?"

Übel looked at Methode in confusion. To her, anything as simple as clothes, cloth, or even hair could be easily cut by Cutting Magic, no matter how powerful the Defensive Magic covering it was.

"But my hair is covered with many layers of Defensive Magic..."

Methode clearly didn't understand what Übel meant, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Anything that's hair can be cut with Cutting Magic, it's a very simple principle."

Übel replied with an indifferent expression.

Upon hearing Übel's reply again, Methode fell silent. The other seemed to be a conceptual mage, rather than a mage who had deeply studied magical theory. For them, releasing magic was simply because they could use it based on their feelings, rather than knowing the principles and various trajectories of magic.

After learning that Übel was a Magic Idiot, Methode stopped talking to him about magic, and even if she asked, she couldn't get answers from Übel.

No one spoke again. They weren't gifted players like Übel, who could use ordinary Cutting Magic to such an unimaginable level, ignoring the opponent's replicated Defensive Magic. They couldn't imagine the feeling of being looked down upon.

The Mana aura within the gate intensified, and everyone turned their gaze towards Li Yan's position. After their battle with the clone of Frieren, they all felt hopeless. As the strongest guardians of the Water Mirror Demon, they could only silently watch Li Yan, hoping Li Yan might have some weakness that would help them pass the second test.

"Senior brother, would you like me to come in with you?"

Frieren blinked and asked softly. Although she wasn't confident she could defeat her senior's clone, she could still create some opportunities for him.

"Fern, Junior Sister, Zanze, let's go in together. The rest of you stay outside and guard against those resurrected clones."

Li Yan pushed open the heavy door, and a massive amount of Mana surged out. Fern hid behind Li Yan and stepped into the massive Mana. Although she was a little scared, following behind her Godfather, her fear slowly dissipated. No matter how vast the Mana was, her Godfather's back could block it.

"Senior brother, I will protect Fern, don't worry."

Frieren gripped her staff tightly, took a deep breath, and felt uncertain about facing her clone senior brother. This journey could be described as walking on a knife's edge.

Zanze had already made up his mind that he would protect his master's daughter the moment danger struck; nothing was more important than his master's daughter than the exam.

As the gate closed, Lawine and Kanne couldn't help but pray for Li Yan and her group, hoping that the Goddess would bless them with a safe journey. Laufen watched the child who liked to gently stroke her head, hoping that he could successfully defeat the clone.

Übel squatted on the ground. She wanted to go in with them, but they wouldn't allow it, so she could only sit silently by the door and listen to what was happening inside.

"Hey, my clone, hello there."

Looking at the clone of the same size and appearance, Li Yan also became somewhat interested and began to examine whether the Holy Sword was copied in its hand. If Holy Sword, he would have no choice but to deal with it with all his might. Fortunately, the Water Mirror Demon seemed unable to copy the Holy Sword.

The moment the clone saw Li Yan, a small black hole was thrown towards it, and a huge suction force filled the entire hall. Frieren immediately activated Defensive Magic to block in front of Fern.

"Using control magic right from the start? Truly worthy of being my clone."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow and stretched his body slightly. He wasn't interested in the magic of the clone; he was curious whether the other party could replicate his physical body—that was what he was looking forward to.

In an instant, Li Yan appeared in front of the clone, his powerful fist slamming into the clone's body. After withstanding Li Yan's attack, the clone instantly teleported away from its original position, unleashing all its Mana to retaliate against Li Yan with dozens of Normal Attack Magic.

"Their physiques are different, that's the feeling."

Li Yan frowned slightly. The Water Mirror Demon's copy of him didn't seem to have a complete physique; it was just an empty shell with great Mana.

Faced with the barrage of Normal Attack Magic, Li Yan was somewhat disappointed. What he wanted was a physical fight; he wasn't very interested in magic.

"Water Shield: Waterfall, Wood Shield: Vine Sea, Fire Shield: Flame Fruit."

The three-element Shield completely blocked all the Normal Attack Magic. Li Yan teleported again to catch up with the clone's location. The clone seemed to realize that its physical strength was no match for Li Yan, and kept using Spatial Movement to move away and retaliating with magic.

The cat-and-mouse chase scene left the tense Fern and Zanze somewhat bewildered. It seemed that the last guardian could only put on an act in front of them; facing his true form was like encountering a mouse with a cat.

"How boring! Can't a physique be completely replicated?"

Watching the clone scattering around using Space Magic, Li Yan stopped paying attention to the battle, took out the Holy Sword from her Storage Alternate Space, and looked indifferently at the clone that was preparing to use the Five Elements Magic Fusion Magic.
