DxD: Scion of Lucifuge

Several days passed quickly.

With Shiroyasha also becoming Roy's servant, No Name underwent a significant transformation.

Roy summoned more of his Servants.

Little Garden was an intriguing world, and he planned to develop his community here. Perhaps he could even relocate the entire Lucifuge family.

Making the Lucifuge family the Strongest in Little Garden—that would fulfill Roy's long-held ambition.

Black Rabbit, having witnessed Roy's power, no longer interfered with his decisions regarding the community.

Her goal was simple: reclaim No Name's flag and name, restoring Arcadia to its former glory.

"Leader, I've found information about the Perseus community!"

After dealing with Galdo's affairs, Black Rabbit finally had time to investigate Perseus.

"Oh? Tell me," Roy said with a smile.

No Name had only Black Rabbit to handle its affairs. It was understandable that it took her so long to gather information.

Black Rabbit nodded. "Laius Perseus, the leader of the Perseus community, is planning to hold a Gift Game in a few days. And Leticia-sama is the prize…"

"Is that so?" Roy nodded. He already knew. Shiroyasha had told him.

But he also knew that Laius might not necessarily hold the Gift Game.

In the original story, he had suddenly canceled the game and decided to sell Leticia directly.

So, the best course of action was to challenge Perseus to a Gift Game.

Roy smiled at Black Rabbit. "Don't worry about it. Challenge Perseus to a Gift Game—with everything on the line."

"Are you sure?" Black Rabbit was worried.

Perseus wasn't like Galdo's community. They were backed by the entire Greek pantheon.

Laius was a former cadre of Thousand Eyes—a student of Jack-O'-Lantern—and a descendant of Perseus.

He possessed the Divinity of Hephaestus, the God of the forge. His community resided in the fifth digit outer gates.

"What are you worried about?" Roy chuckled.

Black Rabbit hesitated, then, seeing his confidence, she relaxed. After all, Roy had defeated Shiroyasha.

"Alright. I'll issue the challenge right away." Black Rabbit left without further hesitation.

Just then, Roy sensed an unfamiliar presence approaching the Arcadia headquarters.

Before the intruder could react, Saeko, Tohru, and the others surrounded them.

The figure, however, didn't resist.

They brought the intruder before Roy.

——

"Leticia?" Roy was surprised. It was a little girl with golden hair tied with a black ribbon, her figure petite and adorable, her expression…blank.

It was Leticia Draculea!

She had managed to escape from Perseus. It must have cost her dearly.

Leticia looked at him expressionlessly. "Are you the current leader of No Name?"

"That's right," Roy nodded, observing her with interest.

Leticia summoned a spear and charged towards him.

But before she could reach him, Saeko intercepted her.

Leticia gasped, surprised by Saeko's speed.

"Hmph!" Saeko didn't waste words. She attacked with her katana.

Bang!

Leticia, unable to defend herself, was sent flying.

"Saeko!" Roy called out, stopping Saeko from delivering the final blow.

Saeko obediently returned to his side.

Leticia picked herself up and looked at Saeko, then at Roy.

——

Leticia ignored their gazes and simply stared at Roy.

Her blank expression gave Roy a mischievous idea.

He approached her, then scooped her up into his arms, holding her high above his head.

"Welcome back, Leticia!" he chuckled.

Leticia, despite her usual stoicism, blushed at being held like this in front of everyone.

"Let—let me down," she mumbled, struggling slightly.

Roy observed her with amusement, then gently lowered her.

"Leader, I want to be held high too!" Lily tugged on Roy's sleeve, her eyes filled with envy.

Roy's eye twitched, but he indulged the little girl's request.

After a moment—

"I intended to disband No Name. The children can't survive like this. But hearing that there was a new leader…I wanted to see for myself," Leticia explained.

"So you want to know my strength?" Roy chuckled. "Certainly."

The surrounding scenery shattered like a mirror, and they were transported to another world.

It was a bright, sunny world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers—like a fairy tale.

"Where…?" Leticia gasped, looking around in shock.

"This is my game board. You wanted to test my strength, Leticia. Then come," Roy said with a smile.

Seeing Roy's game board, Leticia already acknowledged his strength.

A game board the size of a planet meant the new leader was at least Stellar-level.

Leticia was stunned but still summoned her spear.

Speculation was just speculation. She had to experience his power firsthand.

"Close combat?" Roy chuckled, then summoned Est—Demon King's Sacred Sword—into his hand.

Leticia charged.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sword and spear clashed, sparks flying.

The sounds of battle echoed through the air.

The beautiful landscape was ravaged by their fight.

Roy, enjoying the sword fight after a long time, seemed relaxed.

Leticia, however, grew increasingly serious.

She considered her spear techniques to be unparalleled. No one had ever lasted this long against her in pure combat.

But this man's swordsmanship was unfathomable. He effortlessly countered all her moves.

She finally acknowledged his strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After another exchange, Roy disarmed Leticia, sending her spear flying.

Leticia looked at him deeply. "I concede."

Roy shrugged, bored. He snapped his fingers, and the ravaged landscape instantly returned to its pristine state.

He transported everyone back to Arcadia.

"Leticia, since you're back, you should stay. We were already planning to confront Perseus anyway. We can…rescue you properly then," Roy said.

Leticia frowned. She didn't agree with Roy's plan. She knew the strength of the Perseus community.

But she couldn't gauge the strength of this new leader.

Roy, sensing her hesitation, pulled her onto his lap. "Don't worry about it, Leticia. Just watch," he chuckled.

Leticia frowned but didn't struggle.

Holding the little loli was quite comfortable. And if he removed the black ribbon from her head, she would transform into a mature young woman.

How fascinating.

Black Rabbit returned, overjoyed to see Leticia.

But it seemed her mission to issue the Gift Game challenge to Perseus hadn't been successful.

While Black Rabbit and Leticia were catching up, Tohru explained that Laius, the leader of Perseus, hadn't been at their headquarters.

Roy frowned.

Just then, a message came through the Devil contract from Shiroyasha.

Laius had gone to see her.

No wonder he wasn't at his headquarters. He must have learned that Leticia had escaped to Arcadia.

Roy smirked. This was getting interesting.

If Laius dared to send someone to retrieve Leticia, he wouldn't hesitate to teach them a painful lesson.
