Death wave was able to used only by affected from love for life and even Ultear can beat Zeref with his mega DEATH wave. So Invel easily freeze death wave like nothing. He said he use "cold" itself to freeze anything - objects, magic or souls.
Zeref was not in control of his own magic as per stated back then and also ULTEAR's magic was time to which she moved forward...INVEL cannot freeze death wave at all...Even GRAY had to go for LOST attribute to even hope to seal him...So, freeezing deatrh wave is out of question. It took IGNEEL's flames to burn tht death wave and INVEL's ICE tbh is a fodder compared to IGNEEL's flames...So, no, he cannot freeze it.
Death wave , he can also use it when he disregards his feelings..It is his magic there...he showed it tht he can control it and hen he does, he is much above what he cannot do like say losing to ULTEAR ..And he killed HADES and at tht time too he used DEATH wave before to show he can control it..SO, no, it is not limited to feelings stuff . Love for life there means he did not want to kill humans and so, wave killed it and when he wans to kill them, he is on whole other level controlling it.
Demonic armor is absolute ice than can freeze any thing, any human. Like infinite Iced Shell. Doubt Zeref has Acnologia's feats to resist magic itself.
GRAY rsisted it and was not frozen NATSU broke out of it with normal fire. NATSU required IGNEEL's flames to burn or even harm ZEREF. INVEL is nowhere close near IGNEEL's flames..So, tth absolute ICE is a paltry joke compared to wht GRAY did using LOST attribute and wht NATSU did using IGNEEL's flames...NATSU easily broke out with normal fire and now when normal fire can crush this absoluteness . SO, no question ZEREF cannot do so.
Death ball? Maybe dark ball? Invel will freeze it like any other magic.
INVEL has not shown any feat to be able to freeze death magic. Simple comparison..to burn it, when u require IGNEEEL level of flames, the simple level of INVEL's ICE is not even close to freezing it when NATSU broke it out with simple fire which is much below IGNEEL's flames.
GRAY also had to add lost attribute to even hope to freeze him or seal him rendering him unable to move
Zeref burn ice? Yes. But not instantly. And Invel needs just few moments to use demonic armor.
1) The CQC feats of ZEREF = the IGNEEL flamed NATSU which is much above the DEMON armor of INVEL
2) INVEL's magic is not even clsoe to freeze ZEREF at all..not insta, not later, never. If he adds lost attribute, it is other thing..he can hope so..But, as we know, tht is not the case at all.
And why his ice shouldn't affect Zeref? He easily freeze Natsu on a minute. And Natsu >> Zeref and also has fire magic to counter ice.
1) NATSU >> ZEREF is not a valid statement
2) NATSU broke easily with normal fire and NATSU required a lot of effort with IGNEEL's flames to burn ZEREF's magic..Retropectively saying, when NATSU's normal fire can burn INVEL's ICE whereas NATSU requires IGNEEL level flames to burn off ZEREF's magic, how are they even comparable at all?
Zeref is nothing more than low tier spriggan. Without immortality and warpstop he is fodder for more wizards. And death wave (which he can't use bs it is not his magic but god's curse and using by itself only) doesn't help him.
Denial is strong in this one here. He can use death wave, He got cursed because he was much above others and attempted what others were afraid of and he was knowledgable enough to do so which perse INVEL lacked intelligence at all.
It is nothing but a false hardedly said statement. Even with just his magic levels, he is above all S-12s. Without immortality, he has a lot of things . NATSU and all the demons lived on as a magic of ZEREF feeding on him...+ he has a lot of magics , created demons, knows LAW magics, death magic, fire magic, has a knowledge which helped IRENE to revert back. the nemesis....None of which INVEL has counters for.
Just in terms of raw basic magic power, INVEL can not even hope to match ZEREF.
So, a low tier SPRIGGAN description for ZEREF just reeks of a poor downplay excuse and hypocrisy to justify INVEL's existence which is what personally I would see as a joke.
Basically, INVEL has shown nothing to even something on par with mid tier spriggans let alone top tiers. And ZEREF is much above his pawns. So, no matter what INVEL uses or does, does not change the fact tht he is a fodder compared to ZEREF
