The flames of Naberius were still fading when the news reached every corner of the supernatural world.
One boy—six years old, heir to the eleventh Pillar—had erased an entire clan.
Within days, the title spread from noble halls to angelic libraries and even the shrines of Kyoto.
"Yaksha of the Valvas Clan."
The Devil who hunts corruption. The child with the sword of gods and fire of judgement.
Reactions in the Devil WorldSitri Territory
Inside the crystalline gardens of the Sitri estate, Sona Sitri listened as her parents spoke in disbelief.
"A six-year-old annihilated the Naberius?" her mother murmured.
Sona's eyes widened. "Roy... did that?"
When her elder sister Serafall appeared in a burst of blue light, she found Sona staring at the news crystal.
"He really did it, So-tan," Serafall said softly, pride and worry mixing in her tone.
"He's incredible... but he must have been hurting."
Sona clenched her fists.
"I'll become strong enough to stand beside him one day."
Serafall smiled faintly, cheeks coloring.
"You're not the only one who wants that, So-tan."
Agares Territory
Seekvaira Agares stood in her study, normally calm and analytical. But the moment she heard Roy's title, her quill froze mid-air.
"He avenged Aunt Jessica... my cousin."
She closed her eyes, fighting the mixture of pride and ache in her chest.
"Even now, he walks ahead of all of us."
Astaroth and Glasya-Labolas Estates
Latia Astaroth twirled her hair nervously as her father read the report aloud.
"That's... my friend Roy?" she whispered. "He really did it."
Across another noble hall, Iryuka Glasya-Labolas practically cheered.
"I knew he'd do something unbelievable!"
Her mother smiled knowingly.
"You speak of him with quite the sparkle in your eyes, dear."
Iryuka blushed, tail swishing.
"N-no! I just... admire him, that's all!"
Bael Territory
At the Bael mansion, Venelana Bael—now free from her failed marriage—held little Rias in her arms while reading the council's proclamation.
"Yaksha of Valvas..." she murmured.
Rias tilted her head, bright blue eyes curious. "Mama, who's Roy?"
Venelana smiled softly.
"Someone very brave, my little one. Someone who fights for what's right."
But when she looked toward the horizon, her smile faded into thought.
"And someone I can't stop thinking about."
Beyond the Devil WorldHeaven
In the serene halls of Heaven, Gabriel listened to the report from the Angels of Intelligence.
"A devil child... who punished evil even among his own kind?"
Her serene smile warmed.
"Such purity in a devil's heart... Perhaps peace isn't impossible after all."
Kyoto
In the Youkai realm, Yasaka, young but already radiant with divine aura, sat before a shrine mirror showing Roy's battle.
"A child of fire and justice," she whispered. "How interesting... perhaps I'll meet him one day."
Among the Maous
Within the Maou palace, Sirzechs Lucifer stood beside his wife Liana Gremory, reading the formal decision.
"He destroyed Naberius single-handedly... Darius's grandson truly carries the Valvas blood."
Liana smiled.
"Even you didn't act that boldly at six."
Sirzechs chuckled.
"Let's hope he stays an ally."
At the Valvas Estate
News-crystals, letters, and magical messengers poured in, all praising the young heir.
Roy read none of them. He stood on the balcony, Ryūjin Jakka resting at his side, watching the sunrise.
Behind him, Grayfia Lucifuge approached quietly.
"Everyone is calling you the Yaksha of Valvas, Roy-sama."
He smiled faintly.
"A name means little. My parents can finally rest—nothing more."
Grayfia's expression softened.
"Still, I am proud of you... we all are."
Her voice trembled slightly at the last words.
From the corridor, Serafall's cheerful voice echoed as she entered with Sona, Seekvaira, Latia, and Iryuka trailing behind.
"Roy-kun! The whole Underworld's talking about you!"
Roy turned, surrounded by friends—faces he had once played with as a child now looking at him with admiration, warmth... and something deeper.
He laughed softly, genuine for the first time since his rebirth.
"Then let's give them something worth talking about again someday."
And so the legend of the Yaksha of Valvas spread across every realm—devil, angel, and youkai alike.
A tale of vengeance, justice, and rebirth... and of a boy whose flame would one day light the path to peace in the Underworld.
