Enraged to hear that Deliora is possessing his father's corpse, Gray furiously attacks Silver, whose ice demon slayer powers make him immune to Gray's magic. Gray tries channeling Silver's magic against him as done against Doriath, but it also has no effect. With no other options, Gray contemplates using the same Iced Shell technique used by Ur to permanently freeze Deliora, despite needing to sacrifice his body in order to do so. He reconsiders and ultimately manages to grievously wound Silver by hurling a cannonball through his chest. Gray refuses to kill Silver, however, reasoning that his father is not Deliora as he claims to be.
