Chapter 227: Ch 227 : Chaotic fight
Pure white ice crystals began spreading rapidly from beneath Gray's feet, expanding in all directions.
Before the other contestants could even comprehend what was happening, the entire magic-formed town had already been covered in pristine ice and snow, transforming into a snowy-white city.
"Ohhh! This is incredible! Fairy Tail A team's Gray actually froze the entire town! What an astonishing display of magical power!"
The live commentator, Chapati, exclaimed in shock.
The audience erupted in astonishment at Gray's feat, while the participants from the eight competing teams displayed expressions ranging from solemn and surprised to deep in thought.
"Freezing the whole town? Sure, it's impressive, but I don't get it. What's the point of wasting so much magic like that?" Gajeel frowned as he asked.
"No, I think Gray's decision was the right one in this situation." Noel stroked his chin, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"In this competition, the goal is simply to land a hit on the opponent, meaning that direct confrontations minimize the importance of raw strength. In that case, using magic for enemy detection is the smart choice. By freezing the entire town, Gray has effectively brought all the participants into his sensory range. And furthermore..."
"And furthermore, his magic consumption isn't as high as it seems. If you look closely, you'll notice that the ice he created is only about three millimeters thick—a mere thin layer. It looks like Gray's magic control has improved quite a bit," Laxus remarked, his tone carrying an unusual hint of praise.
Inside the arena, Gray, who had frozen the entire town, slowly closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice, "The magical properties of seven people... their weight... temperature... movement patterns... all logged in. The one closest to me is..."
Suddenly, Gray's eyes snapped open.
