Ep. 26: Fern's Zoltrakk fails against Frieren's replica, leading to a battle of attrition and final test results.

Fern's Zoltrakk fails to kill Frieren's replica, confirming the battle's attritional nature. Denken and Methode strategize against remaining replicas, with mages eliminating many. Lawine and Richter defeat their matches but are ambushed by Sense's replica, which impales them, forcing their elimination via broken bottles. Übel, confident due to her ability to cut hair and clothing, defeats Sense's replica. Methode coordinates with Wirbel's party to delay other replicas while Frieren fights hers. Denken's team encounters resurrected replicas, realizing the Spiegel must be defeated to stop them. Frieren creates an opening, allowing Fern to inflict a lethal injury, but the replica counters with telekinesis, nearly killing Fern. Fern remarks this is the height of magic. Frieren finishes her replica, and they destroy the Spiegel. Remaining examinees reach the dungeon bottom, passing the second test, while failed examinees wait at the entrance as golems heal them.
