Sousou no Frieren - episode 26 - 07 Mar, 2024

Fern's Zoltrakk fails to kill the replica of Frieren. Frieren acknowledges that she anticipated her replica surviving the attack, noting that it was always destined to be a battle of attrition. At the entrance to the final part of the dungeon, Denken and Methode determine the locations of the remaining replicas and strategize on how best to combat them. The mages face off against their best match-ups and successfully eliminate a large number of replicas. Following Lawine and Richter's success in defeating replicas of Kanne and Lawine, they are ambushed by Sense's replica, which impales Richter and Lawine. Forced to break their bottles, Lawine and Richter are eliminated from the test. Denken, Land, and Übel arrive to the scene and decide on their next course of action. Übel claims she can beat Sense as she can visualize her cutting magic easily slicing apart Sense's hair magic. In a flashback, Übel managed to cut a first class mage in half despite their incredibly high defense enchanted clothing. Sense explains that Übel can perceive clothing and hair as something she can easily cut, therefore she should win the fight against her replica. In the present, Übel kills Sense's replica. Methode talks to Wirbel's party and gets their buy in on the plan to delay the other replicas while Frieren's replica is being fought against. After Denken's team runs into resurrected replicas, they realize that until the Spiegel is defeated the replicas will keep coming back to life. Frieren creates an opening, and Fern manages to inflict a lethal injury on the replica. However, when Fern attempts to finish off the replica, it counters with a telekinetic ability, nearly killing her. Impressed by the spell, Fern remarks that this attack is truly the height of magic. Frieren finishes off her replica, and they proceed to destroy the Spiegel. The remaining examinees reach the bottom of the dungeon, and Sense congratulates them for passing the second test. Meanwhile, the failed examinees wait at the entrance as their golems heal them. (Source: Wikipedia)
