"Hmph! This is the end!" Lyon sneered, his hands quickly forming seals. "Ice Make — Eternal Frost Funeral!"
Buzz—!!!
The sky instantly condensed countless gigantic ice crystals, shimmering with frosty white light!
Each ice crystal contained terrifying freezing power!
Like meteors, they descended with an aura of destruction, overwhelming and smashing towards the fallen Gray!
"Ice Make — Octagonal Ice Shield!"
Gray reacted extremely quickly! His hands rapidly formed seals!
A massive ice-blue ice shield, composed of eight large rhomboid ice crystals with magical runes shimmering along its edges, instantly formed, enveloping him entirely!
Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
Dense ice crystals violently smashed against the ice shield!
The ice shield vibrated violently!
Its surface was instantly covered in cracks!
The center was deeply dented from the impact!
Ice shards flew like snowflakes!
Gray struggled to hold on within the ice shield, his magic power rapidly depleting!
"Let's see how long you can last!" Lyon cackled, increasing his magic output!
More frosty white ice crystals condensed!
Crack! Crackle—!
The Octagonal Ice Shield finally buckled under the pressure, shattering with a crash under the continuous bombardment!
Gray's figure was exposed to the ice crystal storm!
"Lord Gray!!" Juvia shrieked, water vapor surging around her as she was about to rush forward recklessly!
"Water Screen Heavenly Blossom!" Juvia spread her hands, and a massive water screen was about to envelop Gray!
"Don't come over!" Gray roared sharply!
His voice carried an undeniable resolve!
Juvia's movements suddenly paused!
She saw the nearly burning ice-blue flames in Gray's eyes!
Just at this critical moment!
"Ice Make — Ice Flash Step!"
Gray's figure instantly vanished from his original spot!
Leaving behind a lifelike ice sculpture!
Rumble—!!!
The ice crystal storm shattered the ice sculpture!
Gray's figure appeared behind Lyon's side!
"Ice Make — Zero Degree Pierce!"
Gray's right hand was covered in extremely cold ice crystals, transforming into an incredibly sharp ice spear, emanating absolute zero coldness!
With a piercing scream that seemed to tear space, it silently stabbed towards Lyon's back!
This was Gray's fatal blow, condensed with all his magic power and combat experience!
Its speed, its tricky angle, and its precise timing were nothing short of perfect!
Lyon's pupils contracted sharply!
He felt a deadly threat!
He hastily tried to turn and defend, but it was already too late!
Whoosh—!
The ice-blue spear, carrying extreme cold, accurately pierced through Lyon's hastily condensed frost crystal armor, savagely stabbing into the area below his right shoulder blade!
It was only an inch from his heart!
Pfft—!
Lyon spat out a mouthful of blood!
His body stumbled forward as if struck by a heavy hammer!
The frosty white magic power on him instantly became chaotic and dim!
The red light in his eyes also fluctuated violently, almost extinguishing!
"Ugh ah—!" Lyon let out a painful roar, kneeling on one knee, his right hand clutching the wound, blood gushing from between his fingers, staining his pristine white coat.
He turned his head in disbelief, looking at Gray, his eyes filled with shock and unwillingness!
He hadn't expected that in a pure Ice Make magic duel, he would actually lose to Gray!
Gray was gasping violently; the continuous bursts and the fatal blow had consumed a large amount of his magic power.
He looked at the heavily injured Lyon, his ice-blue eyes showing no joy of victory, only deep sorrow. "Senior Brother..." "Lord Gray! Be careful!" Juvia's startled cry rang out again!
Just then, Lyon, who was kneeling on one knee, suddenly raised his head!
The red light in his eyes, far from extinguishing, instead burst forth with an even more dazzling, more sinister crimson glow, like flames doused with oil!
"Roar—!!!"
An inhuman roar, filled with pain and fury, erupted from the depths of Lyon's throat!
His pristine white coat on his upper body was instantly torn to shreds by the violent magic power!
Revealing his muscular upper body!
But at this moment, his skin appeared an unhealthy bluish-Gray, covered with bizarrely twisted black magic patterns that writhed like living things!
These magic patterns spread wildly from his wound, instantly covering his chest, arms, and back!
The muscles of his arms bulged, and the surface of his skin was covered with fine, black keratinous layers, like demon scales!
His fingernails became sharp, jet-black, and hooked!
On his head, two curved, metallic-sheened demon horns pierced through his scalp, growing out ferociously!
His eyes were completely consumed by crimson! Sharp fangs emerged from his mouth!
A violent, evil, and destructive demonic power, mixed with his original frosty white magic power, erupted from within him like a volcano!
"Demon Slayer · Demon Form!" Lyon's voice was like a roar from hell, filled with an inhuman quality!
"Gray Fullbuster! You... have angered me!!"
"Feel... true despair! Ice Demon · Ice Prison Abyss!"
Buzz—!!!
Terrifying demonic ice magic power, with a dark purple halo, erupted like a tsunami!
With Lyon at the center, the ground instantly froze into solid ice as black as ink!
Countless gigantic, twisted, black ice spikes covered with grotesque magic patterns, like demonic claws reaching out from the abyss of hell, broke through the ice and grew wildly!
Instantly covering the entire plaza!
Forming an even larger, ominous, and destructive black ice abyss!
Completely engulfing Gray!
The biting cold and terrifying oppressive feeling made even Juvia, far away, feel suffocated and a tremor deep in her soul!
"Ice Demon · Ice Roar!"
Lyon opened his gaping maw!
A dazzling dark purple light illuminated the depths of his throat!
A massive, dark purple energy beam, composed of highly compressed demonic ice magic power, with a scream that tore space and a coldness that froze the soul, fiercely blasted towards Gray, who was sealed by the black ice spikes!
Its speed and power were far greater than before!
Gray's face changed drastically!
"Ice Make — Multiple Ice Mirrors!"
He quickly clapped his hands together!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several massive ice-blue ice mirrors, made of magic-patterned ice crystals, instantly appeared in front of him!
Boom—!!!
The dark purple beam fiercely struck the first ice mirror!
The ice mirror instantly shattered!
It didn't even last a second!
The second one!
The third one!
They shattered one after another!
The beam's momentum remained undiminished!
"Ice Make — Absolute Ice Domain!"
Gray roared, frantically pouring his remaining magic power into defense!
An incredibly thick, ice-blue domain shield, emanating extreme cold, instantly formed!
Rumble—!!!
The dark purple beam fiercely struck the shield!
A terrifying explosion sounded!
Violent demonic ice magic power frantically impacted the shield!
Crack!
Crackling!
The surface of the hard Absolute Ice Domain shield was instantly covered in cracks!
A huge gap was blasted in the center!
