In Fairy Tail, starts with a Super Mega Gengar

Nizzu Bumes's expression stiffened as he doubted whether he had misheard. "What did you just say?" His subordinate, confused, replied, "It's just a little brat. He's using Ice Magic. He broke through the guild's front door, and he's already inside."

The air fell silent in an instant. Nizzu Bumes's face darkened, and without a word, he strode over on his towering stilts, which resembled steel spikes. From his elevated position, his expression turned slightly menacing as he said, "Are you saying... a little brat???"

His subordinate looked up at Nizzu Bumes's ferocious face, swallowing hard as he stammered, "Y-yes... just a little brat. He looks about seven or eight years old..."

Boom! Before he could finish, Nizzu Bumes kicked him away. The steel stilts sent the subordinate flying, blood pouring from his mouth as he crashed into the wall, his bones likely shattered in multiple places.

With a fierce expression, Nizzu Bumes growled, "You can't handle a seven or eight-year-old brat?! How could he disturb the Demon Egg?! What are you fools doing on watch?! I thought it was the Magic Council attacking! A bunch of useless people!"

The surrounding subordinates couldn't help but shiver, not daring to speak. It was clearly Nizzu Bumes who was the one panicking.

Just as he was about to say more, a sudden chill swept through the air.

Crackling sounds echoed as the ground from the hallway began to freeze, the ice spreading toward them.

Nizzu Bumes raised his arm toward the outside: "Blast Seal!" A semi-transparent orb with a special pattern appeared in his palm and shot toward the door at high speed.

Boom—!!!

A deafening explosion followed. The shockwave and heat halted the spreading ice on the floor, forcing the ice to stop at the entrance.

Suddenly, Gray burst out of the smoke and charged in.

Everyone froze in shock. They had not expected this troublemaker to be so reckless.

Gray also paused, glancing at Nizzu Bumes and then at the nearly two-meter-high stilts beneath him: "Are you... a member of the Dwarf Race?"

Thud! It sounded like sanity had snapped. The guild members below the Demon Egg swallowed hard, watching Gray in horror. Had this kid lost his mind? How could he provoke the Guild Master like this? That would surely cross the Guild Master's bottom line...

The reason Nizzu Bumes stood on stilts nearly two meters high was that his own stature barely reached one meter—shorter than an average child. Therefore, height had always been a taboo subject within the Tumultuous guild. But they had not anticipated this little brat to breach that taboo so audaciously.

Gray's casual words had touched a nerve. It was well-known that any enemy who had mocked the Guild Master in the past had been obliterated by his magic, with not a shred of their remains left behind.

This little brat was destined to meet a terrible fate.

The members of the The Tumultuous Second silently distanced themselves, fully aware of how their Guild Master could go berserk and destroy everything in sight. They were regular people; who would dare to approach?

Nizzu Bumes's fury escalated upon hearing Gray casually jump on his nerve, his aura tearing through the air. He roared, "Damn little brat! Are you looking for death?!!!"

"All-day Exploding Ball!" Nizzu Bumes aimed both hands at Gray, and an array of semi-transparent orbs surrounded him, hurling toward Gray as if catapulted.

Gray smirked, pointing his hands forward as an ice-blue magic circle spun: "Ice-Make: Block!"

The solid ice block he usually conjured transformed into a hollow structure, with Gray perfectly positioned in the center.

The next moment—

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!! 

A series of explosions roared into life.

Dust and smoke filled the air.

Nizzu Bumes sneered, "Was that so easily resolved? What an ignorant brat. Where did he come from..."

Suddenly, a crisp crack interrupted his thoughts.

Nizzu Bumes's eyes widened, "What?!"

Fragments of exploding ice shot everywhere, and he couldn't help but glance up, seeing Gray with his hands on his hips, a slight smirk on his face: "Looks like your magic isn't up to par. You couldn't even obliterate my ice block."

The effects of two days of compressing magic power made their mark. Such a basic explosion couldn't even penetrate the solid ice that was both extremely cold and hard.

It was something Gray had never imagined before.

After speaking, Gray seized the moment, summoning a chilling energy at his waist: "Ice-Make: Battle Axe!"

He swung it forcefully forward.

A flash of blue light erupted.

Swish—!!!

Nizzu Bumes's heart raced in surprise, quickly raising his hand to defend himself. 

Then several seconds passed, but nothing happened; instead, Gray stepped forward a few paces.

Nizzu Bumes's face contorted with rage: "Damn, little brat. Trying to play me?"

"I...!" Nizzu Bumes charged forward, suddenly losing balance as he collapsed to the ground.

Clang! 

Both iron stilts clattered to the floor.

Gray's ice axe hadn't struck Nizzu Bumes but had severed his stilts instead. As Nizzu Bumes tumbled forward, he slid a distance before coming face to face with Gray, who looked at him like a little dwarf, chuckling, "What? Turns out you're not even taller than me."

Nizzu Bumes's face darkened, veins visible on his forehead: "You little brat..."

Suddenly!

Nizzu Bumes burst upward, pressing his hands against Gray's chest, a twisted grin on his face: "Explosive Mark!!!"

The moment Gray felt the pressure on his chest, a strange mark appeared, glowing a bright red. 

Gray's pupils constricted; without time to think, he instantly activated his magic, creating an ice block that encapsulated them both.

Nizzu Bumes hadn't expected Gray to execute that move.

Yet, his own magic activated faster.

Just as Gray's ice block assembled, the Explosive Mark detonated with a bang.

Due to the ice block's surrounding formation, the immense explosive force impacted Nizzu Bumes with nearly half the damage.

Both of them were thrown backward amidst the shattering ice.

Nizzu Bumes struggled to rise, coughing blood as he glared at Gray: "Damn, that little brat..."

At a distance, Gray wiped the blood from his lip: "That was close... I almost didn't manage to cast it."

If he hadn't erected the ice block, that guy might have gained an upper hand.

Gray braced himself and stood tall, preparing to cast his magic once again.

At that moment, Gaal's voice suddenly rang out from behind Nizzu Bumes: "That's enough."

The sudden voice startled everyone in The Tumultuous Second guild, particularly Nizzu Bumes. The sound had emerged directly behind him.

Nizzu Bumes whirled around only to see a dark silhouette before him.

Pfff—!

A point of blood erupted from his forehead, traveling through the back of his skull, blood spraying forth. Gaal calmly retracted his slender staff.

No one had witnessed how it happened, but in the minds of the Tumultuous Second guild members, the almost invincible Guild Master, Nizzu Bumes...

Had collapsed to the ground.

Dead.
