It appeared as though humanity would be destroyed by the demons.
But a single mage saved them all.
He was called the Wizard King, and he became a legend.
The Raging Black Bull
charged for the royal capital with the Black Bulls on its back.
Rescue!
La!
Magic Conversion!
They rescued the townspeople...
Asta Cannon!
...and freed the Magic Knights who had reincarnated into elves.
Heck yeah!
And then,
returning thanks to their hatred for Licht,
Rades, Sally, and Valtos appeared before them once more.
You guys want to hurry to the royal capital, too, don't you?
Then we have the same goal.
Lend me your strength.
You're so annoying!
What?!
"Revenge," my ass, you stupid jerk!
From now on, you're going to help save the kingdom!
Huh?! You can't be serious, you bastard!
I'm totally serious!
After some convincing from Asta, they became allies.
Fine!
I'll go to the royal capital with you!
Meanwhile...
Langris appeared before the members of the Golden Dawn,
who had reincarnated as elves.
I guess that's why we get along so well. We're both twisted.
I can't wait to kill all these royals myself.
The white night is over.
Let us show the humans the golden dawn!
It won't be much longer, you vile pests.
The Battle for Clover Castle
Kira Residence – Central Tower
So what's the meaning of this, Vaude?
King of the Clover Kingdom Augustus Kira Clover XIII
I hear that your son, who engaged in violent acts
at my Royal Knights Selection Exam,
is now under suspicion of treason.
Your Majesty, there must be some kind of mistake!
Ledior Vaude
There's no way someone from the House of Vaude would do such a thing!
Th-That's right! My little Langris could never be a traitor!
Liliane Vaude
Regardless, I cannot allow someone of my bloodline
to marry someone with a reputation like that.
Great Uncle...
Finnes Calmreich
I'm not troubled by Lord Langris.
Please be lenient with him.
Finnes, this matter does not concern you!
And you should be ashamed that Finnes is even trying to protect you!
This is Lady Finnes, the fiancée of the next head of the House of Vaude.
Good day to you.
Your Majesty, I have an urgent report!
It's regarding the mage attacks...
Silence!
I'm sure the Magic Knights have gathered by now!
They can do whatever they want until I get over there!
What are so many members of the Golden Dawn doing here?
This area is protected by us, the Castle Knights.
You need to hurry and go help the citizens.
We have business with the humans beyond that door.
What kind of sick joke is that at a time like this?
The castles where the three great royal families live lie beyond this gate.
Even Magic Knights may not enter without permission.
That's just a stupid rule that you humans made up.
Wh-What are you...
Like I care about it.
This is treason! Capture them!
Compass Magic: Willful Compass.
D-Do not falter!
I'll leave the rest to you.
Understood.
My group will go right.
Then we'll go left.
I'll continue straight forward and rip them apart!
Hey, wait!
You're the ones who will wait, humans.
So that hole in the castle gate really was Langris!
I could honestly care less about the royals, but this ki...
Looks like a bunch of pretty tough characters got into the castle.
We'll have to let the other guys handle the town. We're going in, Finral!
Yes, sir!
Yami!
Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike!
All of these guys are brimming with magical power!
And there are, like, dozens of them!
This is terribad!
You aren't going to try to kill us? How naïve.
Nah, I have plenty of reasons to kill you.
At least, the you that had the nerve to take that body, as if it belongs to you.
Such nonsense!
Dark Magic: Black Hole!
In the end, there are four of them. This is going to be tough.
It doesn't matter how many of you humans try and attack us! You cannot wi—
This crazy magic is...
Damn it, you stupid bastards! Getting your bodies taken over...
Talk about entertainment!
Captain of the Green Praying Mantises Jack the Ripper
Of course the ones who are most worth slicing up
would show up at the castle, huh?
The Captain of the Green Praying Mantises, Jack the Ripper!
Geh. Did our reinforcements really have to be this weirdo?
What? You wanna get sliced open first, Yami?
Actually, you already almost got me.
Welp, I'm glad you didn't turn on us, you giant string bean!
Who'd get taken over with this much fun to be had, you stupid meathead?!
We won't let any of you leave alive, humans!
Severing Magic: Death Scythe!
Corundum Magic: Ideal Closer!
You won't be able to cut through my magic with that.
Death Scythe!
I told you, it's useless.
Your moves are totally obvious.
This is such a pain in the ass.
Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Blade Storm!
It's taking all I have to read their ki and dodge their attacks.
Watch what you're doing, you giant string bean!
Death Scythe! Death Scythe!
I'm getting excited!
The crazy dude's being even crazier than usual.
Two captains are struggling this much?
Hey, you get it by now, don't you, you giant string bean weirdo?
Hell yeah, I do.
Severing Magic: Death Scythe!
Your magic won't work on m—
There's nothing I can't sever.
All right, now show me you're worth slashing apart!
Impossible... The property of the magic itself changed?
Found someone who let down his guard.
Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike!
I think you're starting to see it, too...
Finral!
Yes, sir!
Spatial Magic: Fallen Angel Gate!
What?
Heck yeah! Great job, you two!
Looks like you're finally starting to get it, Finral.
You've got some skill if you can support me in combat, you bastard.
Th-Thanks...
Holy crap, he's scary!
Hey, he's my ride.
He's terrifying, too!
Don't be stingy. Let me borrow him sometime.
Like hell I will, string bean man.
C-Come on, you two... We have to hurry.
That's—
Silva Residence
What in the world are you doing, Golden Dawn?!
You Magic Knights exist to protect those of us in the upper classes!
Why?! What's going on?
This is the royal palace!
We'd only gather here to curry favor with the House of Silva,
to see if they'd grant us a share of their power.
Why in the world is this happening?!
Be my shield, you common servant!
You lower classes only exist for us—
No!
There's no point in seeking out a decoy.
My needles will only pierce their intended targets.
They'll pursue you, no matter how far you go, until they hit you.
Of course, we're killing all the humans anyway, so I guess that didn't matter much.
Damn it... Damn it!
I can't quell my rage!
You lost to Noelle? How pathetic, Solid.
I'm sure you just let your guard down.
You can't be serious! Noelle couldn't cast a spell like that!
Solid...
It's all right if I hit you, right?
Just go ahead and try it!
You complete failure!
Sea Dragon's Roar!
Curse that Noelle!
I'll make her pay for this!
What's this presence I sense?
I feel a bit uneasy.
A Golden Dawn member?
Do you know where you are?!
What do you think you're doing?!
This magical power... You must be royals.
Descendants of that tainted bloodline...
I've come to kill you.
This immense power...
It looks like we need to teach you some manners.
Mist Magic: Solid Mist Clones!
I guess I'll play with you for a bit.
Mist Spider's Threads!
You can taste how powerful a royal's magic is yourself!
The lowly shall always be lowly.
Compass Magic: Useless North.
Impossible...
She was able to find my location without even trying to hit my clones?
What an underhanded spell. It's perfect for you humans.
Nebra!
How dare you?! Don't think you're going to get away with this!
Oh? You're royalty, but you can't tell?
What? I sense an even more immense power outside.
You humans are about to be destroyed.
There's something crazy in there!
Looks like this is gonna be even more fun now.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
There's absolutely nothing fun about this! Not in the least!
That's probably the enemy's hideout, isn't it? That's super bad!
Why are there even more crazy enemies now?!
Damn it...
Who the hell invited that giant rock?
But look. A pretty little bird just showed up, too.
We will not let the castle fall, no matter what.
Welcome home, royals.
Hey, Noelle!
That's... Captain Yami?
Over here!
I'm with Captain Yami! Do you see me?
And... Finral?!
And Captain Jack...
I'm so sorry to make you worry, Noelle!
I'm sure it was rough without me around—
You've got at least a hundred years
before I start worrying about you, wimpy Finral!
Wimpy
You'd better start making up for all that carefree sleep you got to have!
Carefree
Honestly...
Jeez... I'm so glad he's okay!
Were you waiting
in anticipation for my beautiful self to make my beautiful entrance?
Brother, that's just painful...
That's...
It's been a while, Psycho Captain.
I finally joined the Magic Knights, since the rest of you are all so damn useless.
Wait, who are you again?
Quit messing with me!
I'm a member of your squad! The one that's filled with troublemakers!
You'd better take responsibility for giving me this robe,
you random-ass captain!
Took you long enough, dumbass.
How long were you going to make me wait?
You better work hard to make up for being so late, Zora!
So, where the hell have you been, Captain Royalty?
Your house is a huge mess right now.
If you waste too much time, we're gonna beat you into the castle!
Foreigners and former commoners...
Fear not. You're one of the few that I actually consider beautiful.
And you can shut your mouth.
We're gonna go to the king,
so you guys can figure out what to do about your house!
The enemy's powerful. Don't try to take them down recklessly.
Your only goal is to rescue and retreat!
Who the hell died and made you the boss, Yami?!
None of you bastards better die, got it?!
You're the last person I need to hear that from.
My home... I never thought I'd come back to it under these circumstances.
This is so cruel.
How dare they taint our castle like this?
They will pay for this.
Hup!
Just a reminder that I don't give a shit about you royals.
I'm gonna do whatever I want.
We've gotta move smart, given the number of enemies we have.
Hey! Who said you could leave?
Leave him be.
He was selected to be a Royal Knight.
I'm sure he has his own way of fighting.
Here they come.
There you are, royals!
I shall mete out your punishment!
To think you'd lose your composure in front of me...
Using fine mana control to use
free-transforming mercury magic for both attack and defense...
Nozel is truly amazing.
Mother...
We're going to take down the strongest first!
That's—
Her stupidly huge magical powers are getting in the way! I can't hit her!
This... This can't be happening!
Water Creation Magic: Sea Serpent's Coils!
Damn it... Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Solid...
I'm royalty, damn it!
How pathetic.
You can die now.
Damn it!
Nozel!
Noelle!
Mana Skin!
Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!
I've got her!
Compass Magic: Willful Compass!
She deflected it!
Noelle managed to get a spell through the enemy's mana?!
Nozel... Thank you... very much.
Noelle managed to cast that incredible spell?
But that didn't work, either.
I hate to admit it, but I'd just hold them back right now.
I should probably retreat.
Mist Magic: Bewildering Forest of Mist!
I won't let any of you get away.
Compass Magic: Another Atlas!
You won't be able to escape this place unless you defeat me!
This is...
I can't control my magic!
This spell forcibly disturbs the mana in this area.
No matter how powerful your magic, your spells won't hit me now.
However...
My spells won't fail to hit you.
Nozel!
Calm down.
You can no longer fight.
Worry about your own—
It's okay... It's okay...
I did all that training.
I can do this... I can do this!
I can still fight!
Come, Noelle. Let's show her the true power
of the royal House of Silva!
Petit Clover
Petit Clover!
Jack the Amazing (Rippa)
Jack the Amazing (Rippa).
There's nothing I can't sever.
All right, now show me you're worth slashing apart!
So with these... you gotta cut them just the right size.
Death Scythe.
All right, now show me you're worth slashing apart!
So for this, you gotta dice it all up. Dicing things up is great.
Gotta love how that sounds.
Death Scythe.
All right, now show me you're worth slashing apart!
They said bite-size, but isn't that pretty big when you're considering my mouth?
Death Scythe.
You need to make sure it doesn't boil over once you put the miso in.
It's done!
Look at this amazing pork miso soup!
I forgot the dashi! Damn it!
There was once a warrior called the Steel Warrior Princess.
She would dance across the battlefield.
Next time on Black Clover, Page 108: "Battlefield Dancer."
Page 108 Battlefield Dancer
Time has passed, and now Noelle Silva will dance across the battlefield.
