Chapter 55

Second Stage Exam End is the fifty-fifth chapter of Yamada Kanehito & Abe Tsukasa's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Summary
Right after the events of the previous chapter, Methode seeks out Wirbel's group and asks for their cooperation. Wirbel agrees that his group will fight Denken's Spiegel clone, while Methode herself will fight Fern's clone. The previously defeated Spiegel clones return, and the mages fight a war of attrition until the main body of Spiegel is defeated, with some being eliminated in the process. Frieren takes a blow from her clone in order to give Fern a bigger opening, and Fern manages to deal a fatal wound to the clone. It is able to retaliate with a powerful attack, but this leaves it open for Frieren to finish it off with Zoltraak. With the clone dead, the seal on the door breaks, and Frieren defeats Spiegel, ending the exam. Sense congratulates all the remaining participants and says that they have passed the second stage of the exam. Meanwhile, Frieren has gotten stuck in a mimic again.
