Chapter 80: 79: Gray's Awakening.

Weapons began manifesting all around the mist, taking a shape as they were directed towards the four.

As a result of Violet's ability, the mist wasn't able to close in any further around them. However, if he were to weapons shaped by the mist, he could just barely cut through.

*Swoosh*

From spears, battle axes, maces to swords. Weapons of all kind were propelled at them.

But at the end of the day, it was all made of mist. As they came inches away from the group, they would instantly freeze as a result of Aurora's ability.

Such was the defense formation and forte they had managed to keep up. But at the same time, all they were doing was defending.

Their stamina could run out at any given rate, not to mention since he didn't have a physical form, they weren't able to attack him back.

With the mist all around them, the two began to hallucinate dark silhouettes forming inside of it.

"Aurora! Violet!" The voice called out to them from within the mist.

Simultaneously, a figure manifested over the bridge, at just an angle where it was recognisable. After getting a closer look, they realised that both the figure and voice belonged to Gray. It was obviously an illusion.

She turned back with dead cold eyes, only to see Gray's corpse, his sister and the horned princess behind her.

"That's body's a fake! It was all set up by the horned ones...! Come... Please help me...!"

Just as he finished saying that, in the two's blindspot a twirling mist could be seen manifesting. So far any of the attacks sent at them were frozen by Aurora's ability after being stopped by Violet so what if he attacked them where they couldn't see it?

Add that to him distracting them, he clearly had the advantage. Or so he thought.

The moment he had propulsed those very same weapons at them, they froze, this time even further away from her than usual.

Rather than just being inches away from the group, this time it had frozen in the air, surprisingly close to the mist.

"!?"

"You... You really didn't realise did you?" Violet sighed before pointing at the ground beneath her.

'Realised...? What? What are they talking about? All that's beneath her is-' He felt a chill go down his spine as he finally noticed. 'Ice... She couldn't have...!?'

Beneath Violet was simply ice. Red ice resulted from Aurora's ability and all the blood which had been splattered around. The ice itself had spread all throughout the top of the arena.

At first glance, it didn't seem like anything dangerous. But after getting an even closer look, he noticed that the ice had gone down from the sides of the arena and spread all throughout the spikes at the bottom. It had gone as having risen up the walls.

Because he was in his mist form, he couldn't feel the drop in the temperature. There was also so much that he didn't notice his movements slowing down.

Slowly but surely, while he was focused on attacking the two, they had already been attacking him from within. The ice had already begun spreading through the mist, the air was slowly freezing.

Simultaneously, Aurora's pink hair was glowing a light blue aura as she had her head hung down.

"I-Impossible...! How can her ice cover this entire floor!?!" He yelled out.

*Crackle*

And those were his final words, before being completely frozen. From the three's pespective, the entire roof seemed to have crystalised as a result of the freezing.

"I can't believe it..." The horned princess muttered, her mouth shivering from the cold. "They did it..."

The temperature was so low that her breath was not only visible but also seemed to freeze.

"Aurora... We did it... We avenged him..." Violet added with tas she turned to her. Dark circles could be seen beneath her frozen eyelids as she shivered uncontrollably.

It was unbelievably cold. They were quite literally standing on nothing but ice.

"Aurora?" Violet called out to her once more seeing as hwo she hadn't replied.

When she did so, she noticed the entire bottom half of Aurora's legs completely frozen. As she raised her head to reply, the light blue glow of her hair faded away.

Simultaneously, her figure could be seen swaying left and right. Her lips moved as if trying to say something, but the only sound which had come out was the sound of her coughing out blood which was almost mostly frozen.

Violet's eyes widened. She stretched out her arm to catch her with her telekenesis, as Aurora could be seen falling backwards, only for her to find herself too falling.

At that same moment, Gray's index finger twitched.

Violet's arms dropped as her vision grew blurry. She lost all the power in her legs, as she had no more energy left.

'Wait-' She thought to herself.

But in that instant, a bright yellow glow burst and flashed out from Gray's corpse.

*Thud*

A thud could be heard, to everyone's surprise, to everyone's surprise, Aurora's back and Violet's chest landed on the arms of a mysterious figure.

Tears could be seen flowing down Violet's face as she got a glance of who it was. The princess's jaws dropped in disbelief.

Confused, Aurora looked up and after doing so, her lips trembled as the edge slightly curled up. Her tears couldn't flow down as they were mostly frozen.

She proceeded to stretch her hand out before grabbing the figure's face. His bright yellow eyes looked straight at her before giving her a bitter smile.

"You're late..." Violet muttered as she dug her face into his arm. It was surprisingly warm.

"Sorry I'm late." He muttered.before looking ahead.

[Awakened.]

[Congratulations, You have evolved into a Chronos]

[Time remaining until evolution is complete: 11:48]

[Warning during this state-]

Gray ignored the notifications, and glanced back at the horned princess and his sister beside her. A tear could be seen flowing down his eyes when he saw she was healed.

"I'm in your debt." Said Gray.

"Y-Yeah... You better be..." The horned princess replied.

*Step* *Step* *Step*

Their moments were interrupted as Gray suddenly turned to the entrance. Growls could be heard as a horned ones emerged.

Their ranks ranged from green to blue. They wouldn't have been a problem to deal with. But their irises were all fully dilated white. Their skins could be seen rotting as they groaned and growled.

They had become zombies.
