Fierce Battle
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Dugu Qing, using their magic to probe.
Dugu Qing gazed ahead with an air of composure. Two hundred years of magical power flowed forth like a surging river, its power speaking volumes without needing to be uttered.
Fern sighed, unwilling to watch Frieren and Dugu Qing take risks while he remained hidden behind them, receiving care like a child.
She clenched her fist, her cherry lips parted slightly, "I want to go too."
"Only one person can go! I can't protect more than that," Frieren patiently reassured Fern.
"Dugu Qing, let's play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins goes!"
"Alright! But it's not about who wins, it's about who loses."
Dugu Qing landed from the sky and stood in front of Fern.
The two exchanged a glance, their demeanor unusually serious, and simultaneously extended their hands.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
The two chose the same scissors twice in a row. On the third time, Fern chose paper, Dugu Qing rock.
The outcome is obvious; according to the rules, the loser goes.
Dugu Qing reached out and enveloped Fern's hand, gently squeezing it.
The warm touch was clear and certain; Fern smiled.
"Okay! You win. Be careful during the fight. Don't get hurt, or I'll be heartbroken."
Dugu Qing nodded heavily, stood behind Frieren, and entered the main hall.
Fern, Denken, Lavina, Kanne, Laufen, and others stood at the doorway, defending against the other clones.
Prevent the clones from merging and attack Frieren and Dugu Qing from both sides.
Team fight begins.
Inside the main hall, on the floor in the very center.
The clone stood gracefully, holding a bright red magic wand, with an adorable and innocent demeanor, but Dugu Qing and Frieren dared not underestimate it at all.
Frieren gripped her wand tightly, her concealed magic no longer hidden. Millennia of magic erupted, spreading like boiling water, filling every corner of the hall.
The clone's magic was never concealed; the two magics, guided by their respective wills, clashed and intertwined head-on.
The air temperature rose sharply, turning visibly red.
Frieren unleashed her full magical power and soared into the sky.
Even the Water Mirror Demon, who has lived since the age of mythology, dared not be careless when facing a legendary mage with a vast and profound background.
It mimicked Frieren's movements, moving the machine gun five centimeters to the left, striving for absolute accuracy, before taking to the skies.
The two simultaneously raised their wands, moving through the air, searching for each other's weaknesses.
Frieren flashed and appeared several meters away, unleashing Destructive Lightning.
The clone performs the same move.
Two purple lightning beams exploded in the air, their light dazzling.
The shattered purple lightning, like a torrential downpour, scattered across the sky.
Seeing this, Dugu Qing flashed, withdrew all her magic power, and lightly jumped behind a stone pillar to conserve her strength and observe the situation.
Frieren was surrounded by purple-blue lightning, her long hair fluttering wildly as she channeled her magic into her wand and cast Hellfire Magic.
The scorching, crimson flames erupted with a deafening roar, leaving nothing but emptiness in their wake, even distorting and burning the very fabric of space.
The clone perfectly replicates the hellfire.
In an instant, Frieren and her clone's magical detection ceased.
Frieren's lips curled into a smile, and she no longer held back, unleashing high-level magic, mythical magic, and forbidden magic one after another.
The clone gathered all its magical power, focusing intently on the battle, completely immersed in it, Detection Magic interruptions was getting longer and longer.
Dugu Qing dodged the flames flying everywhere between the stone pillars, unleashing her full strength to float lightly behind the clone.
With a flick of the silver wand, a purple Mana Bullet shot out instantly from the back of the clone.
The clone slightly shifted its body, dodging the incredibly fast attack. It frowned slightly, realizing that Dugu Qing, who was hiding in the shadows, was a bit troublesome.
It gave a cold smile, unleashed forbidden magic, and a dazzling black hole rose from its palm.
The black hole soars into the sky, hovering high above, its boundless suction force surging and overflowing from its depths.
The hall, which had been enchanted with defensive magic, trembled violently. The stones on the ground, walls, and ceiling crumbled and were all pulled and swallowed up by the lightless abyss, leaving not a single fragment behind.
A powerful urge to destroy filled the clone's eyes; it was enraged.
Frieren unleashed Destructive Lightning, interrupting the black hole magic and summoning an enormous stone golem.
Perched precariously on the stone figure's shoulder, looking down from above, it unleashed a barrage of Destructive Lightning.
The clone, "Mind," swayed, casting defensive magic to block the attack.
Dugu Qing emerged gracefully from the shadow of the stone pillar, circled around to the side and rear of the clone, and activated a normal attack with his fingertips, firing Mana Bullet.
The clone was encased in a protective light mirror, which blocked all incoming Mana Bullet, and its movements gradually slowed down.
Having failed in his first attack, Dugu Qing did not linger in the fight and retreated far away, once again concealing himself behind cover.
With an unwavering smile, Frieren rushed forward, casting spells in succession to deplete the clone's attention, patience, and magic power.
The Water Mirror Demon realized that if things continued this way, the consequences could be disastrous. It controlled all the clones in the maze and sent them toward the main hall.
We need to utilize the high-speed movement magic of the Laufen clone, the binding magic of the Methode clone, the water magic of the Kanne clone, and the cutting magic of the Ubel clone...
Defeat Frieren Dugu Qing.
Outside the main hall, on different paths, various mages heading towards the deepest part of the labyrinth cooperated to slay the various clones.
Denken and Fern led their team, working together to eliminate any remaining clones.
Ubel's clones, Jian Ze's clones... all fell down, and the situation gradually became clear.
Everyone gathered at the entrance, nervously looking towards the main hall.
No matter how many other clones the examiners eliminate, they can't pass the level unless they eliminate Frieren's clones!
Everything now depends on Frieren and Dugu Qing.
Inside the magnificent hall that everyone was watching, flames surged, stones flew, dust and lightning intertwined, karmic fire and ice collided, blurring vision, and every space harbored deadly danger.
Dugu Qing hid in the shadows, observing the battle.
The clone raised its hand and unleashed hellfire, the chilling yet scorching flames soaring into the sky and staining the entire hall crimson.
Amidst the billowing smoke and raging flames, Frieren moved about calmly and evaded the danger.
Both of them had exhausted their magic power. Frieren deliberately exposed an opening and intensified her attack, trying to gain speed by speed.
Magic Impact, Destructive Lightning, Explosive Magic, Icebound Divine Arrow, Magic Torrent, Hellfire...
All sorts of powerful magic unleashed at high intensity in Frieren's hands, raining down densely upon the clone.
The clone defends, dodges, and retaliates with the same moves against Frieren, paying less and less attention to Dugu Qing.
The deafening explosions rose and fell, one after another, without end.
Dugu Qing's figure flashed, and he appeared openly on the back of the clone.
The purple light at the tip of the staff exploded, and a vast thunderbolt swept through the air, transforming into a surging, churning thunder dragon, seemingly containing endless energy, powerful and unparalleled, instantly piercing through the clone's body.
