"You need to defeat this little one here." Time stated as the slime like monsters suddenly morphed perfectly to become like Adrian.

The body of the slime mimicked Adrian but one can truly see that it is an inferior copy. The slime itself still looked like the color of the slime as Adrian is not a shade of dark brown. Even the equipment that Adrian had is copied perfectly except that it is in a shade of light and dark brown as well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[You have been copied by an Ultra Mimic Slime.]

[The Ultra Mimic Slime has been enhanced by Time just for this combat.]

Monster Name: Ultra Mimic Slime

"Ouch! Reversal!" Adrian stated as he casted Reversal on himself to heal the wounds he received.

The Ultra Mimic Slime copied what Adrian did as well and healed itself using Reversal perfectly. The fight is once again back to the start as both of them are back to full health. The only difference is that Adrian can now see the dreaded future that awaits him. Unlike him that used mana to heal himself, the Ultra Mimic Slime did not use any.

"That is not fair." Adrian stated as he pointed towards the Ultra Mimic Slime, but the latter also did the same.

The Ultra Mimic Slime copied all of his gestures and mannerisms but never used any resources. This must be another enchantment used by Time to enhance the monster before them. Adrian would have definitely won if the mana of the Ultra Mimic Slime will also be used up whenever it uses spells. Temporal Magic is tricky since being inexperienced will make one use more mana than one will want to.

"That is the test, Equinox. You must defeat a perfect copy of your actions and self that is enhanced by myself." Time stated as it believed that Adrian will never complete this trial.

Time has issued the same rules for every trial, and no one has ever passed this second one. A Legendary Temporal Skill book is something that is already in the realm of gods should they completely master it which is why the second test has such high difficulty. All of the challengers have already conceded and just accepted the Epic tier skill book as a reward because they could not defeat the Ultra Mimic Slime. They could not defeat the copy of themselves despite their determination.

The Ultra Mimic Slime cannot speak which means only the challenger side can quit the battle. Some even tried to prolong the fight by taking time to rest but they all succumbed to mental fatigue. Being inside an area where time is suspended is not healthy for the mind. One would miss all the vises that they do and the hobbies that they are already accustomed of doing. Time believed that such is true even for demons as even they need to be in their usual routine or else they will lose their sanity.

"I think I have an idea. Still, an opportunity like this has never presented itself before. I will gladly us this for training." Adrian stated as his inner battle junkie suddenly flared up. Adrian started attacking the Ultra Mimic Slime once more but this time he was not doing any feints. He was attacking the enemy using his usual attack patterns. Time was frozen in place as he thought that Adrian has finally lost his mind. He could see the demon attacking the Ultra Mimic Slime and uttering 'Oh! So, that is the weakness' while smiling like a crazed battle

maniac.

Of all the challengers that he greeted, Time has never seen anyone that will willingly attack the Ultra Mimic Slime just to see their own weaknesses. A lot of beings prefer to never know their weakness as they fear that knowing it will make others use it as weapons against them. This is his first time seeing another being using an enhanced Ultra Mimic Slime as its training partner. Adrian even used every armament in his possession to test everything.

"Such a shame. If only I could use my soulbounds then I would have tested more." Adrian stated but Time suddenly looked tired looking at him.

"Does this mean that you concede, Equinox?" Time asked as Adrian did not attack the Ultra Mimic Slime for a long time.

"Oh! I was just resting while I congregated the useful data that I got from battling myself. I am not giving up because I have already solved the trial once again." Adrian stated which made Time look at him with interested eyes except he cannot see Time's eyes due to the hood. "Reversal!" Adrian stated as the target for Reversal was the Ultra Mimic Slime.

Just like the Adrian, the Ultra Mimic Slime used Reversal on Adrian. Time though that Adrian was doing something futile, but he did not stop using it on the enemy and he had no thought of stopping. The scene of the two beings reversing time on themselves looked incredibly funny as Adrian walked backwards but that is also the case for the Ultra Mimic Slime. Adrian reversed the time up to the point that the Ultra Mimic Slime was unsummoned from the rift as it returned back to where it came from. Time laughed heartily as someone finally solved the second trial that no one has ever done so before.
