Once Walpurgis began, Clayman presents his false story of how Carrion encouraged Rimuru to become a Demon Lord and set up the Harvest Festival for him by influencing Falmouth to attack Tempest and used Veldora as a front for Falmuth's defeat; Milim (revealing to have been brainwashed by Clayman) and Frey only helped punish Carrion for creating a Demon Lord without majority consent of the existing Demon Lords, and Clayman calls for them to destroy Rimuru in response to this. Rimuru calls him out on all the lies, revealing that Mjurran is still alive as a witness (which Clayman refuses to believe) and Tempest's forces have collected more than enough evidence tying Clayman into the manipulation of Falmouth. Head of the Demon Lord council, Guy Crimson, tells them to fight it out; he wants the matter resolved simply and quickly.

His weakness and plots are exposed with his defeat by Shion (non-demon-lord) and Carrion revealing himself to be alive and as one of Frey's attendants.

Crazed and half awoke as a True Demon Lord, Clayman plans to kill Rimuru to keep his title. However, Rimuru simply pummels and eats Clayman instead; learning the Moderate Harlequin Alliance works for former Demon Lord Kazeream, whose body Leon killed to take his spot. Thanks to Veldora and Milim's blunder, Roy Valentine is revealed to be a stand-in for true Demon Lord Luminous Valentine, who is the maid Rimuru had suspicions about earlier. Carrion and Frey give up their seats as Demon Lords upon seeing they are too weak; while still ruling their lands, they now work for Milim. As the group is down to eight members, Veldora suggests Rimuru pick their new name. Rimuru sees stars above the meeting and decides to call them the Eight Star Demons Lords - Octagram.

In the Holy Empire, Laplace is chased off by Hinata; having believed the Demon Lord's absence meant a lack of security. Roy returns early from Walpugus as Luminous felt unease, confronting him. Laplace learns that Clayman was killed and promptly tears out Roy's heart after hearing his dear friend insulted. The anguished clown can only laugh hysterically.
