Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Vol. 8 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Because the mirror lotus copies match their originals in mana and skill, brute force settles nothing. Grinding it out against her double, Fern translates the rapid-fire spells and mana concealment she inherited from Frieren into a style that is truly her own, and wins by making her master's technique part of her body. Frieren beats her own copy with moves it never learned: the useless little spells she picked up while traveling with humans and the messy pile of experience she gathered with Himmel and the others. What decides the outcome is not raw power but the content of a life actually lived. Meanwhile Denken's party is worn down by traps and monsters, and the proctor Genau's scheme to thin out the candidates begins to show through.
