Everyone who had finished their respective fights that being everyone in the courtyard except Pit, Dark Pit, Kokabiel and Rex had been watching the fight between the latter two combatants, and most people particularly Serafall, Grayfia and Rias gasped when they saw Kokabiel throwing the large boulder onto Rex.
"Oh, no..." Grayfia whispered. With the force and speed Kokabiel had thrown the boulder, along with its size, she wasn't fully sure if her oldest son would come out of an attack like that alive.
Kokabiel laughed, cruelly.
"Wow." he remarked. "Seems that the oldest son of the current Lucifer, with power supposedly equal to Azazel himself, can't even be beaten by me. That's honestly... fucking hilarious!"
"Rex!" Serafall shouted, not that it would have done anything if Rex was dead.
Which he wasn't, as Serafall found out by feeling someone tapping her on the shoulder.
"Yeah?" Rex replied, as a transportation-circle beneath him closed. "I'm right here, Sera. You don't have to shout."
"Oh..." Serafall whispered, surprised Rex was okay, apart from the cuts on his body, which slowly disappeared after Rex drank the vial of Phenex Tears from earlier.
"Yeah." Rex grinned. "Now, to finish this fi-"
Rex' remark was interrupted as Kokabiel, who was preparing to throw a light-spear at him while shouting something about how he would kill the son of the Strongest Satan along with the Weakest Satan in one go, suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move at all.
Kokabiel's skin then started changing colour from his usual pale skin tone to a more bluish-white skin colour, with grayish-yellow skin in some places. It seemed as if he was rapidly contracting frostbite while his body slowly froze.
Kokabiel's body was then encased in a large block of ice, perfectly preserved, for a few seconds, before the block shattered, taking Kokabiel's body with it.
Even Kokabiel's blood and inner organs were frozen, due to how no blood or inner organs spilled out and fell on the ground when Kokabiel's body shattered.
Rex looked up at where Kokabiel had been before his body was mysteriously frozen, and his red eyes met with the blue eyes of a gorgeous blue-haired woman that he hadn't seen before in his life. The woman, strangely, wore the outfit of an army General.
The woman, who hovered on eight black Devil wings, smiled down at Rex, and spoke.
"Hello there, Rex. My love."
———
"Uhh..." Rex said, not exactly sure what to do. "Thanks for killing Kokabiel. I was kinda having a hard time against him."
"No problem." Esdeath replied, smiling at Rex as she landed on the ground and stepped towards him. "It's only the least I can do for you, my beloved."
"What's this about 'beloved', Esdeath?" Serafall stepped forward so she was beside Rex.
"I'd like to know that, myself." Grayfia replied, also stepping forward, while looking suspiciously at the blue-haired woman who was eyeing up her oldest son like a piece of meat.
It was only because she knew full-well that Rex could protect himself without her help that she didn't do anything else.
"I've had my eye on Rex for a while, Leviathan." Esdeath explained, her eyes flicking from Serafall's blue ones to Rex' red ones.
"Ever since the party celebrating the Gremory Heiress' victory over Riser Phenex, I was interested in him, but in his Rating Game between him, the Bael Heir and the Belial Heiress, when I saw his Power of Twilight..."
Rex, Serafall and Grayfia all noticed Esdeath rubbing her legs together.
"Okay…" Rex replied. "Why're you telling me this?"
"That's easy." Esdeath replied, stepping forward and resting a hand on the handle of a long rapier, which was resting in a scabbard on her hip.
"Ever since that moment, I've wanted to test myself against someone as strong as that, against a power as… incredible, as that."
She pulled her rapier out of the scabbard, making everyone in Kuoh Academy's courtyard, except Griselda and Xenovia the former seemed to be trying to shake the latter out of some daze she had fallen into, tense up.
"So... you want to fight me." Rex surmised, calmly. Esdeath's smile became slightly more demonic as she got into a battle-stance.
"That's right, my love." she replied, simply.
Grayfia and Serafall immediately tried to step forward, to stop Esdeath from even trying to lay a finger on the silver-haired Nephalem, but they froze when they saw said silver-haired Nephalem stepping forward.
"Fair enough." Rex replied. "I'll fight you. I mean, I'm not exactly going to be in a better condition to fight than right after taking some Phenex Tears." He held up the vial of Phenex Tears he had just drank from, before placing it in his pocket.
Esdeath watched his every mode, rapier in hand and a grin on her face, as Rex looked back at her, and spoke the final words before the fight began, while a single bird, unbeknownst to Rex, Esdeath and the beings, landed on the roof of Kuoh Academy, and seemed to watch.
"After you."
Esdeath immediately dashed at Rex, swinging her sword and attempting to cut Rex, but Rex leant back, dodging her swing, and punched her in the gut.
As Esdeath stumbled back, Rex immediately went on the offensive.
Two quick uppercuts to her face and a kick squarely to her stomach sent Esdeath sliding backwards.
However, a sheet of ice appeared behind and under Rex' blue-haired opponent, as she slid backwards and composed herself.
When she'd slid backwards to the point that she was close to the wall of Kuoh Academy, she created a magic-circle on that wall, jumped back and rested her feet on it.
And jumped off that circle, flying at Rex even faster than she did initially, her rapier in one hand and a lance made of ice forming in the other.
Using demonic energy to propel it faster than she was moving, Esdeath threw the lance at Rex, who jumped into the air and out of harm's way, leaving an Amalgamation hole to receive the ice-lance.
