I have tried to make the skript wait 10 seconds before changing the ice into air but then the ice takes forever to be created

What do you mean by "shooting ice"? Shoot a snowball? Shoot a falling_sand ice block?

I mean as in the player shoots an particle and ice spawns in that direction

Ah I see. For this you would need to use a "projectile hit" event and detect the block the projectile hit. The thing is this task is really buggy using only Skript, so I would recommend using an addon called skript-mirror.

Using the addon, the code would look something like this (untested):

on projectile hit:
    projectile is a snowball
    set {_block} to event.getHitBlock()
    set {_location} to location of event.getHitBlock()
    set block at {_location} to ice
    wait 3 seconds
    set block at {_location} to {_block}

Using only Skript, you do something like this (also untested):

on projectile hit:
    projectile is a snowball
    set {_block} to block at location 0.1 in front of the projectile
    set {_location} to block at location 0.1 in front of the projectile
    set block at {_location} to ice
    wait 3 seconds
    set block at {_location} to {_block}

Not quite what I meant, I mean as in that the player shoots ice from himself to create a path of some sort.

The ice spawned through this code

loop blocks from the block in front of the player to the block 50 in front of the player:
            if loop-block is air:
                set loop-block to packed ice

Oh whoopsie, I read 'projectile' instead of 'particle'. Sorry about that. Still, it follows the same kind of mechanism: saving the locations of the looped blocks to later place air.

    loop blocks from the block in front of the player to the block 50 in front of the player:
        if loop-block is air:
            set loop-block to packed ice
            add location of loop-block to {_blocks::*}
    wait 2 seconds
    loop {_blocks::*}:
        set block at location at {_blocks::%loop-index%} to air

I tested it and it worked.

    loop blocks from the block in front of the player to the block 10 in front of the player:

            set loop-block to packed ice
            add location of loop-block to {_blocks::*}
    wait 2 seconds
    loop {_blocks::*}:
        set block at location at {_blocks::%loop-index%} to air

Thank you! That worked! Now just one more thing, Would it be possible to make the ice disappear per block while also making a particle when that block disappears?

Actually, one of the bugs I had when coding this thing was exactly what you said, "making the ice disappear per block", so this should do the job:

    loop blocks from the block in front of the player to the block 50 in front of the player:
        if loop-block is air:
            set loop-block to packed ice
            add location of loop-block to {_blocks::*}
    wait 2 seconds
    loop {_blocks::*}:
        set block at location at {_blocks::%loop-index%} to air
        play snowball break at location at {_blocks::%loop-index%}
        wait 0.1 second

You change the "snowball break" part to the visual effect you wanna play (psst, the list of all effects can be found here) and the "wait 0.1 second" to the time interval you wish the blocks to disappear.
