I raise elves in Florian

"It's time to move on."

After resting for a while, Shi Yichen stood up and spoke to Frilian and the others, since they were heading to the deepest part of the maze.

"It seems that following you was definitely the right decision. With you by my side, this perilous maze will surely be full of fun."

Jian Ze smiled and stood up, continuing to follow Shi Yichen and the others deeper into the maze.

. . . . . .

the other side.

The Viabel trio.

"The atmosphere has changed."

Shelford sensed something was off about the atmosphere around him.

"Maybe the deepest part is very close."

Viabel didn't seem to think anything of it.

The two people walking in front were completely unaware of Ai Lei behind them when they were suddenly encircled by two circles of light and forced to their knees.

"Viabel".

How could Eresh not know that this magic belonged to Viabel, but it wasn't cast by her personally, because she sensed three hidden magical forces not far away.

"What's wrong? Can't you walk anymore..."

Viabel turned to look at Irene.

"I'm bound. There are three mages hiding their magic. We've been ambushed."

"Irene said calmly to Viabel."

"is it?"

This excited Viabel.

"Bang bang bang!"

As soon as Viabel finished speaking, an attack spell flew rapidly towards him, but he managed to block it.

"Shelf, block the enemy's vision, use the vision-binding magic from Ellie's eyes."

Viabel told Sherfer that he probably already knew who the enemy was, judging from the magic binding Ereshkigal.

"I see."

As Shelfe spoke, he used the Flower Field Magic, turning the petals into iron blocks, forming an iron wall that blocked their way.

With her vision blocked, the binding magic on Ereshkigal was naturally removed.

"No wonder the Tomb of the Fallen King is so difficult to conquer; I never expected to find something like this."

Viabel looked at the three figures that appeared in front of him. They were clones of the three of them, and their magic power was the same, as was the magic they used.

"Shelford is targeting 'me,' Ereshkigal's target is 'Shelford,' and I'm targeting 'Ereshkigal.' We'll take them both down."

Viabel quickly came up with a solution. The three of them knew each other well, so they knew each other's weaknesses, making it easy to deal with them.

. . . . . .

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Duncan's team also encountered a clone of Raofin, but with the cooperation of the four, they killed the clone of Raofin in just a few rounds.

"This is a clone made with magic. It should be the work of a demon or monster. But I have never seen a clone of another with such a high degree of accuracy. Its magic power and skills are comparable to Laofen's, and its behavior patterns are the same. It may even have used its memories."

As Duncan watched the dissipating replica of Raofin on the ground, he understood why no one had ever successfully conquered this maze in the past few decades. He wasn't foolish enough to think that there was only one replica in such a large maze.

"This is bad!"

Duncan felt that if he wasn't mistaken, everyone who entered the maze would have a clone. The reason he felt uneasy was not because of Jian Ze, but because of the two legendary figures, Shi Yichen and Frilian, but it wasn't that there was no chance of winning.

"It's really uncomfortable."

Raofin looked at his clone lying on the ground and felt a pang of unease. He was looking at his dead self.

"The only saving grace is that it's obviously a fake, so at least we don't have to worry about our companions attacking each other."

Richter looked at the dissipating clone of Raofen on the ground and said, "If the clone is the same as the original, then we will be in trouble. We will have to be on guard against our companions suddenly attacking us."

"If the user of this magic can manipulate multiple clones at the same time, we will face an astonishing threat."

The mature and beautiful older sister in the team pointed out Duncan's biggest worry: they had no idea how many clones there were, and it seemed that the clones and the originals were all the same in strength.

She hadn't forgotten that among the examinees were mages like Frilian, and Jian Ze, a first-level mage. Most importantly, there was Shi Yichen, one of the most mysterious founders of the Continental Magic Association.

"In any case, forming a team is the right choice, and it also gives us more options to deal with things."

Duncan addressed the crowd, but he knew that the best way to deal with clones of legendary figures like Shi Yichen and Frilian was to have the real people do it, with them assisting from the sidelines. This would increase their chances of winning.

Of course, it's also possible that the clones cannot completely replicate all the original's strength, otherwise they might not have been able to clear the maze.

Duncan led everyone to the last door leading to the deepest part of the maze, and pushed open the door to find a huge room inside.

"The sense of pressure is already so strong even before it has started."

Duncan and his group watched as two figures flew down from the sky.

"Duncan, can we really handle those two?"

Richter stared at the two figures in the air, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Suddenly, he no longer wanted to be a first-level mage; after all, survival was the most important thing.

"All I can say is that if this weren't a test, I would have smashed the bottle and run away long ago."

Duncan's forehead began to bead with cold sweat. If it were just Frillie, he could manage to hold his own, but against Shi Yichen, he couldn't even muster the will to fight.

"It felt like even breaking the bottle didn't help, but I never expected there would be such a huge difference."

The mature and beautiful older sister looked at Shi Yichen's clone and could sense that it was an ultimate goal that humans could never reach, just like a god.

"Get ready, we need to retreat immediately."

As Duncan spoke, he took out his wand. Raofin and the mature and beautiful older sister also took out their wands. They couldn't even defeat one of them, let alone two. They should retreat before the battle started.

Shi Yichen and his clones returned to the ground in mid-air. The clone of Frilian held a magic wand, while the clone of Shi Yichen held her holy sword.

Frillie's clone raised her wand and aimed it at Duncan and the others, while Shi Yichen's clone vanished from the spot.

"Oh no, run!"

Duncan turned and ran. The others weren't stupid either; they retreated before Duncan could even speak. When a mage is caught in close combat, they're doomed. Of course, this applies to ordinary mages.

Just as Duncan and his group were retreating, Shi Yichen appeared behind them and simply slashed at them with his sword.

Duncan and his companions unleashed their full defensive magic, but the longsword merely touched their magic lightly, easily shattering their combined efforts.

"Bang!!!"
