He counted with a punch to Imogen's open chest and tried to follow up with an uppercut, but Imogen dodged it, and countered with a punch to Rex' face, which he took, and pushed away from him with his head, before returning in kind.
"Imogen..." Rex growled, as he tanked another punch to his stomach from Imogen.
"Rex..." Imogen gave a dragon-like snarl, as she tried to punch Rex in the face. However, he swung his body to the side, took the chance to grab her arm, and throw her into a tree.
"I will kick your ass, no matter how hard you try, and I will win this fight!" both combatants shouted, as Rex flew towards Imogen, ready to punch her in the face. But Imogen blocked Rex' punch, directed his punch upwards, away from her, kicked his armoured crotch, then used another kick to put some distance between her and him, as she got to her feet.
'Even if...' both armoured fighters thought, as Imogen flew upward, extending her hand out and letting loose four moderately-sized black tentacles, which extended from her arm and flew towards Rex. 'This is...'
Rex quickly created a sword of light, and tried to cut the four tentacles. However, he was only able to sever three, and the fourth one attached itself to his armoured chest.
'THE BEST FIGHT I'VE HAD IN A LONG-ASS TIME!' Rex and Imogen finished their respective thoughts as Imogen focused a pulse of black fire into the tentacle that attatched itself to Rex' chest.
A strong enough pulse that Rex' icy armour instantly melted, leaving Rex dripping wet and completely vulnerable.
Imogen capitalised on her golden opportunity, and opened her arm, firing a large laser of black fire at Rex.
However, the silver-haired Nephalem pushed his hand forward, and to Imogen's surprise, a moderately-sized hole, similar to the ones that Kuisha Abaddon used, but this time, coloured crimson instead of black, appeared in his hand.
This hole seemed to absorb the entirety of the black fire that Imogen fired upon Rex, and at the same time, two more crimson holes appeared above Rex' head.
--------
In the private booth, that housed the relatives of Rex, Sairaorg and Imogen, those relatives being Sirzechs, Grayfia, Millicas, Zeoticus and Venelana for Rex, Zekram Bael, the first head of the Bael Clan, and Sairaorg's grandfather, for Sairaorg, and Diehauser Belial, Imogen's adoptive father, and Caroline Belial, Diehauser's wife and older sister to Sean Sitri, Sona Sitri's father, Sirzechs' eyes widened.
"Is that Amalgamation?!" he cried, out loud. "How- how can Rex even use that ability? I failed to inherit it from Father, so there's no way it could pass onto him!"
"Looks like it skipped a generation in your case, Sirzechs." Zekram, one of the three male Satan-Class Devils, lightly remarked to his oldest grandson.
He was a middle-aged looking man with black hair and peaceful violet eyes, and wearing noble attire. Even as he sat, looking very calm, he still had an aura of strong dignity exuding from him.
"I have to admit. It's been a while since I've seen anyone use that ability. Even you, Zeoticus."
"Yeah." Caroline, a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her mid-thirties, with dark blue hair and matching eyes, wearing a white shirt, replied, looking over at him.
"Or are you still too busy fawning over your wife's Power of Destruction, even over 1000 years since you first saw it and fell in love with her at first sight?"
"Caro!" Diehauser, though he privately agreed with his wife, whispered to her. "Don't!"
Zeoticus, who had not spoken one word for the entirety of the Rating Game so far he had been quietly seething with anger ever since Sirzechs had revealed to him that Rex had had the marital contract between him and Seekvaira Agares destroyed, looked up at the screen that broadcasted his oldest grandson.
And he was, inwardly, just as surprised as Sirzechs to see Rex making use of the Amalgamation, the ability that those of the Gremory clan were well-known for, before Sirzechs' abnormal talent with the Power of Destruction came to light, and effectively eclipsed the Gremory Clan's own power, in terms of popularity.
Amalgamation was a power that allowed the user to combine special powers such as magic, though as Rex demonstrated, the powers that came from Sacred Gears like cursed black fire, for instance, as well as powers that came from Devil Clans, could be pulled into the Amalgamation as well.
Zeoticus himself recalled his mother, Alice Gremory, using her own Amalgamation during a spar with Mestipho Pheles, a former lover of hers, to combine Mestipho's Power of Darkness with the ability of the Pheles Clan.
It was simply a lesser version of Lucifer's Primordial Power of Darkness with her own ice-magic to create a devastating blizzard that was so cold that Mestipho's attempt to douse himself in boiling water to warm himself back up resulted in him cracking his head open from such a large amount of ice the boiling water he had conjured up had frozen solid before he could douse himself in it falling on his head.
It was hilarious to watch.
"Hm." Zeoticus looked up at the screen, as the other two crimson holes appeared around Rex, and spoke, for the first time of this game. "Seems my oldest grandson can create three holes to employ his Amalgamation. Compared to my five."
As much as he, at the moment, disliked Rex, with his flippant, rebellious attitude towards him, the Head of the Gremory Clan... maybe Rex hadn't thrown away all of his pride as a member of the Gremory family.
If he had trained himself in the ability that made him such it was only because of Sirzechs' great amounts of demonic power and even greater talent in the Power of Destruction that he hadn't been discriminated against by the other Noble Devils.
"I will admit, it is nice to see Rex using the power that defines him as a Gremory." Zeoticus continued to speak. "Although, I just want to point out that if he were to employ the Power of Destruction in his move set, he could become an even more powerful Devil-"
