A will of ice, purer, more dangerous, and more concentrated than the previous "Extreme Hell," suddenly coalesced!
He ignored the ice thorn tsunami that was still fiercely impacting the second earthen wall.
His right arm suddenly lifted, pointing directly at that frantically fleeing back!
His five fingers suddenly splayed open into a claw shape!
Buzz—!!!!
The air in front of Gray seemed to condense and compress madly!
The ice-blue magic particles emanating from Gray's body, as if commanded by an emperor, converged frantically towards his raised right hand at an unimaginable speed!
Even the remaining ice thorns that were impacting the earthen walls seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, turning into fine ice-blue streams, merging into that central point!
An unprecedented, giant, complex ice-blue magic circle, with a diameter of several meters, instantly unfolded in front of Gray's right hand!
Runes twisted and coiled, light patterns intertwined like ice dragons, emitting an aura that could freeze the soul!
The omnipresent cold in the rift valley seemed to receive an ultimate command, buzzing like a whine!
Gray himself turned into a huge, dazzling ice-blue light source!
His ankles were even embedded in the rock layer, and from his standing point, visible white frost spread explosively, instantly covering tens of meters of rocky ground!
A biting gale swept up all the ice shards and gravel on the ground, swirling around him at high speed, as if an Ice King was about to deliver his final judgment!
"Ice Make: War God's Spear!"
An indifferent declaration descended like a divine oracle!
No extra sound, only the silence that freezes all things.
Buzz!
A pure ice-blue light pierced the sky!
It was not an ordinary physical ice spear!
It was the form of the rule of ice, condensed from the concept of absolute zero, compressed to the extreme and materialized!
It was crystal clear throughout, with a deep blue hue inside that seemed to freeze stars!
Ancient, mysterious ice patterns, from the very law of winter, were engraved on the surface of the spear shaft!
Where the spear tip pointed, there was the end of cold silence!
Buzz—
The War God's Spear shot out!
Wherever it passed, the air twisted!
Time seemed to freeze!
Leaving behind a vacuum ice track that could not heal for a long time!
Its speed surpassed lightning!
Almost at the same instant of its birth—
Boom!!!!
The second, and even the first earthen wall that Thor had hastily stacked and condensed, and was half-torn by the ice thorns, evaporated silently like butter under the scorching sun!
No explosion, only the most complete annihilation!
The rock was instantly disintegrated into extremely fine molecular powder by the absolute low temperature!
The earth-yellow runic light flowing on it didn't even have time to flicker before it completely extinguished!
Unstoppable!
Thor, who had just rushed to within ten meters of the fork in the path, and was about to pull out an earth-yellow magic scroll, his face, filled with the joy of almost escaping, suddenly froze!
A deathly cold surge, enough to completely freeze his soul into nothingness, was already like a shadow, firmly locking onto the center of his back!
The deadly ice-blue cold light even made the skin on the back of his head tingle!
His stiff neck, like a rusty gear, suddenly turned backward!
His round monocle, like the clearest ice crystal, perfectly and clearly reflected the ice-blue War God's Spear, which was instantly approaching and occupying his entire vision!
The spear tip magnified infinitely!
Despair!
Absolute despair erupted in the pupils behind his monocle!
Thor didn't even have time to utter half a syllable!
Puff!
A sound so faint it was almost covered by the sound of annihilation.
Like the sensation of a hot knife cutting into the purest ice.
The ice-blue War God's Spear accurately and effortlessly pierced Thor's chest!
No blood splattered.
Only a deep, extremely cold white mist, almost freezing all the air in the rift valley, erupted from the spear tip as if alive!
Instantly spreading throughout his body!
Thor remained in his turning posture, completely frozen.
The expression on his face was fixed at the last moment before his monocle shattered—it was boundless astonishment and the deepest fear.
An extreme ice-blue layer rapidly spread from his pierced chest as its core, covering his entire body!
From the fibers of his suit to his skin and flesh, then to his bones and internal organs, like the most precise scan, it instantly covered every inch of him!
A perfect ice-blue humanoid crystal sculpture replaced Thor.
"Frozen." Gray calmly withdrew his finger. The giant ice spear, as if having completed its mission, did not dissipate, but instead merged with Thor's ice sculpture, adding a few more points of chilling majesty.
Crack!
A subtle cracking sound was unusually clear in this deathly silent rift valley.
A tiny crack appeared at the waist of Thor's ice sculpture.
The next second—
Crash!!!!
The crystal-clear humanoid ice sculpture collapsed completely like a fragile glass building!
Shattered ice fragments mixed with fine ice-blue powder, like millions of cold diamonds, scattered on the frosty, frozen rock ground.
His broken monocle fell to the ground, its cracked lens reflecting the dim yellow glow of Nirvana's giant leg, then was covered by falling ice dust, leaving only a pure and cold pile of debris.
Gray didn't even glance at the pile of ice crystal remains again.
His figure moved, and a huge ice blade condensed out of thin air beneath his feet! An ice-blue stream of light shot straight towards the base of Nirvana's giant leg, which was emanating intense magic power fluctuations, deeper in the rift valley!
[Skipping Lucy and Yukino's parts, saving them for last. There's a part where Yukino and Sorano recognize each other as sisters, which feels a bit difficult to write, I'll deliberate on it. Just a note here, we've now entered the main arc of Nirvana. Fairy Tail's main story is primarily battle-focused, so my main arc will also follow the anime's pacing: less dialogue, more action, focusing on depicting battle scenes. Daily life will be more prominent during original plot sections. The Nirvana arc features quite a few characters, and this time it's mainly to showcase the growth of the guild members and to provide a reasonable explanation for their power increases.]
