Neither swordsman let up, neither were willing to let the other come out on top in this clash, but after fifteen full seconds of pressing against each other, without either moving an inch, Rex was the one to slowly overpower Vasco, and push his sword aside.
The two opponents swung at each other, and as they clashed again, Rex suddenly became invisible.
'Transparency... he's using one of Excalibur's seven powers: to allow the blade and its wielder to become invisible.' Vasco thought, as he stopped, and cast out his senses, hoping to catch a feeling of Rex' magical signature, as that would tell him where he would come from next. After a second... above!
Vasco looked up and swung the Durandal Replica in a wide arc, letting out a huge holy aura that impacted Rex, and surprised him out of invisibility, and forced him backward. He landed on the ground, and Vasco noticed that instead of one, there were five Rex' rushing at him.
'Nightmare...' Vasco thought, as he readied himself. 'Another of the seven powers. To create illusions and manipulate dreams.'
As far as he remembered, the illusion-versions of Rex wouldn't be able to hurt him if they hit him, as they were just that, illusions. Vasco pulled the same trick he'd done before with his Durandal replica, and sent a huge Holy wave at the four clone-Rex' and one real one, hoping that he'd be able to weed out the real Rex, so he could attack him.
Four of the Rex' were able to dodge the Holy wave, either jumping over it or sliding beneath it, but one of them was not. He disappeared.
'One down. Three to go.' Vasco thought, as the four Rex' came from four different directions, and attacked Vasco at the same time.
Vasco, in a surprising show of agility, jumped into the air, dodging all of the Rex', and noticed that all but one, the real one, had disappeared.
He landed on the ground with such force that he made the ground shake slightly, and began to swing downwards at Rex, who, in his state of ducking, swung upwards at Vasco, at the exact same time.
Both swords were milliseconds away from hitting their opponents, when Griselda called out. "ENOUGH!"
Rex and Vasco both stopped at the exact same time, and at the exact same time, they looked at Griselda, who had stepped forward.
"If the two of you keep going, you're gonna destroy this entire field." Griselda admonished Vasco and Rex. "Look at what you did earlier!"
She pointed, and Rex followed her finger to see that the part of the field that he'd punched the Durandal Replica the part that he'd caused the sonic boom in had been almost entirely uprooted.
"Ah... heheh." Rex shrugged. "Sorry, Grizzly. Accident."
"Ugh..." Griselda facepalmed as Rex used the nickname that she hated. "Anyway, you'll also end up killing each other if you keep going for long. And I VERY highly doubt that my King would like the second-highest official in the Church, as well as her future husband, getting themselves killed in a simple spar."
"Whatever." Rex replied, shrugging, as he turned Excalibur Galatine back into a golden headband, and re-tied his hair up, returning it to his preferred style of a ponytail. "Also there's nothing certain about me becoming the husband of the Angel who currently holds the title of 'Angel of Death'. Speaking of that, I would LOVE to see her reaction to the song of the same name."
Griselda, Vasco and the other Exorcists had no reaction to this Griselda and Vasco because they were probably too busy thinking about how Gabriel WOULD react to the most controversial track that the American thrash-metal band Slayer had ever put out, and the other Exorcists because they probably had no idea what the hell Rex was talking.
Rex, however, shrugged, and created a transportation-circle.
"See you later, Vasco, Grizzly." He bade Vasco and Griselda who growled goodbye, and activated it.

Rex appeared back in his home, in the foyer of his house, yawning slightly to himself. From where he was, he was able to see the silver hair of Valian, his first cousin once removed, draping over the back of the sofa, as she watched Bojack Horseman on TV.
"Hey, Val." Rex remarked, as he walked into the house. "Good to see you're back. How was your mission?"
"Same to you." Valian replied, as she heard Rex walking towards her, while not taking her eyes off the huge TV. "My mission was… interesting."
"In what way?" Rex asked, before speaking a second later. "Eh, whatever." He walked past Valian, looking at her. "You can tell me what happened… later…"
Rex trailed off as he looked past Valian to see a new woman lying lazily on the sofa.
The woman was certainly beautiful and attractive, with a voluptuous figure on a similar level to Valian's, long black hair that was tied up, with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils.
She wore a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. The kimono featured a red interior, and was open at her shoulders, giving view to her very large breasts.
A more exotic feature of this woman was that she had a pair of black cat-ears on her head, and two black tails growing from her back.
"Valian." Rex said, his voice slightly forced. "Care to explain. Why there is. A Stray Devil. In my house?"
Valian sighed, and swivelled herself around on the sofa to face Rex.
"Do you want the long version or the short version?" She asked.
"Short." Rex replied, instantly.
"Very well." Valian replied. "Called out to mission. Found Kuroka. Brought back. Was questioned and placed into my custody. I brought her here."
