Both the pairs fought on unaware that the doomsday machine was starting to work ice started to form around the table and had already traveled three feet away from it. It was covered in sharp points and ice cycles, the stuff that had already formed was even starting to grow taller already reaching two feet.
But being oblivious to this both pairs fought on ready to kill.
Juvia could barely move she felt half frozen from all of Delilahs icy attacks. Delilah was in the same boat she felt absolutely miserable, all the water had made her cloths heavy and hard to move in.
"Snow Barrier!"
Suddenly a cylinder of compacted snow tightly surrounded Juvia trapping her where she was.
"Ice Blade Rain!"
Once again sharp ice cycles came raining from the sky into the snowy prison Juvia was trapped in. They all passed through her body once again giving her time to focus her energy.
"Water Jigsaw!"
With that Juvia softened and sliced open the tight cylinder she was in.
"Water Claw!"
Delilah screamed as she was consumed by the powerful water. After the attack was finished Delilah was collapsed on the ground a lot of her magic power gone.
"You should just give up your magic power is nearly depleted." Juvia said out of worry.
"Never! I will fight until the very end to insure this plan succeeds!"
Delilah then came charging at Juvia ready for the kill. Juvia quickly made a watershield the knocked Delilah off her feet. Delilah recovered quickly and then did something very unexpected.
"Ice Chain!"
Juvia froze as thoughts of fear rushed through her head.
"No no not that spell anything but that spell!" Juvia screamed in her head as memories of Invel streamed within her mind.
""Haha recognize this I see well then you should know to fear it!"
Juvia frantically dodged the winter mage as she tried to ensnare her with the cursed chain. Eventually Juvia deflected the collar of the chain which bounced off her and hit Delilahs neck.
"No!"
In the blink of an eye the chain was around her neck and immediately started to take away her bodily freedom. Eventually Delilah was flat on the ground no better than the ice she produced.
"I'm sorry this had to happen but you brought this upon yourself. So if you ever get free of this spell I hope you think next time you steal something precious from someone. Now if you don't mind me I have to rescue my children."
Gray just couldn't seem to beat this priest almost every move he made was nullified only able to get a few hits in. But much to Grays assumptions the priest was struggling as well from his ever so depleting magic power.
"Ice Devil Bazooka!"
Gray made shot after shot only managing to get one to hit Kishu.
"How about you stop being a coward and fight me!"
"If that is what you wish than fine but I'm going to finish you off!"
The high priest then started to glow purple almost as if he were charging himself. Gray could feel the man's power building up only a little though. Kishu then came charging at Gray and physically began to fight him. Gray punched Kishu kicked each giving and receiving punches. Eventually Kishu got Gray hard enough in the gut that he was knocked to the ground ending the hand to hand combat.
Gray gasped for air but managed to recover and make his move.
"Ice Devil Rage!"
Once again Gray roared the purple blizzard this time knocking Kishu off his feet. Gray was so filled with anger he immediately charged at him.
"Ice Devil Sword!"
Gray pounced on the now weak priest and readied his sword to slay him. However he was stopped when he heard the terrified cries of his children. He looked up and saw a sight that nearly shattered his heart. Both his children sobbing eyes filled with fear but not because of their situation but because of their father. Gray could tell because they only seemed to be looking at him wondering why their father had turned into a monster. Gray took a deep breath and made his sword disappear.
"It's time to stop this I've scared my kids long enough you can take your sorry life and leave."
"You foolish boy you think I'm defeated you should had finished me when you hand the chance. So how about I finish you if you don't feel like fighting on."
Kishu started to glow purple again only this time ten times brighter and Gray could feel the man's magic power very strongly.
"It's time for the true finishing move. Demonic Rage!" Kishu laughed insanely.
Kishu released a great purple and black mass of energy that looked like a demon's head. It came at Gray roaring threatening to swallow his entire being.
"Ice Devil Shield!"
As soon as Gray made the shield the spell immediately hit him. Gray could feel the force of the spell trying to push past him. It was so powerful he didn't know how long he could hold it back. Large deep cracks grew all along the shield threatening to shatter. However as Gray endured he swore he heard someone talking to him.
"Gray don't give up you can do this!"
Gray turned his head a little and saw it was none other than Juvia calling out to him. Gray turned around and kept going using Juvia's encouragement as strength. As Gray kept going he then heard another voice but it was much deeper.
"Gray you need to freeze the magic."
"What!?"
Gray looked around to try find the source of the voice until his early about stopped. For before him was in fact the spirit of his father Silver pushing the ice shield with him.
"Dad how are you here, why are you-!"
"I don't have much time son so you need to listen to me! You need to focus your energy and freeze his power it will kill him but it's the only way to win this fight."
"Dad I can't he's too powerful I'm nearly out of magic energy."
"Yes you can son I have faith in you, Juvia has faith in you, and most importantly the twins do. You have the power so go on and save them. Also make sure to tell them that Grandpa Silver loves them."
With that Silver's spirit disappeared leaving Gray to fight the high priest by himself. It was then Gray did what his father told him and focused his energy as he did so he felt the cold increase, he felt the energy build up, and then the power to do what seemed impossible.
"Absolute Freeze!"
Suddenly the ice shield was revived and and emanated cold energy. It started to become so cold that spell pushing against his shield started to freeze. It didn't just stop their it then started to travel up towards Kishu. It then came up to his hand which was controlling the spell. Kishu screamed as his body started to freeze. Eventually there was scilence for there was nothing left of Kishu except a statue made of ice.
