They don't actually have ranged spells even. Might as well not send them there in the first place, as clearly, they are not doing their job right now. No soldiers even bother with trying to launch any attacks on Gray or the people who were frozen by Invel while they remained frozen and unable to evade.
I don't get why Invel doesn't attack Gray while his Ice Lock is active. Or better, Juvia, since she is made of water and would die instantly if he froze her and shattered his own ice.
Gray being able to injure Invel with an attack that didn't even look like a 'Devil Slayer' attack(no visible darkness at all so it looks like any generic 'summon my ice blade and magically swing it with more force even though I don't enhance strength') was pretty BS imo, as the spriggan 12 are supposed to be far beyond FT but at this point, pretty much 0 of them live up to their hype. The snowstorm was alright, but i had expected some kind of actual attack to go along with the snowstorm after seeing it. Like a swirling blizzard of icicles around Invel or something along those lines to impale Gray 100 times along with decreasing his movement speed so he can't escape. Ice Lock is pretty lame as an 'ice' attack since it is not much of an ice magic. At the same time, this is a huge opening for Invel to do whatever he wants to them while they fight, as they have basically been mind controlled.
Since he's already frozen and shattered Gray's magic, logically he should be able to just freeze and shatter Juvia if he touches her, allowing an instant kill attack. Although even then Nakama power would ressurect Juvia unfortunately because Hiro.
And what happened to the other Spriggans? Are they just standing by and watching? August could easily intervene and kill Juvia or Gray with a surprise attack. Even a lame laser attack like he used to 'kill' Mirajane would be sufficient launched from very long range at Gray. Or simply a lethal thunderbolt attack from clouds above, as he can manipulate any element. Since August is supposed to be vastly superior to any individual FT mage, he would have to be at least 5x stronger than Gray, making a magic attack fast enough to speed blitz Gray's reaction time would be easy enough with that level of difference.
