Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

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.

In search of the magic stone, Asta and the others arrived at the Underwater Temple,

where they were forced to participate in High Priest Gifso's game, the Temple Battle Royale.

According to your ranking system,

my temple mages would be more powerful than intermediate knights!

Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!

Don't think I'm gonna get discouraged just because I'm surrounded by water.

Magna and Luck also participated in the game, hoping to get the magic stone.

Ya snooze, ya lose, Magna!

Lightning Magic: Thunderbolt Destruction!

Well, well, aren't you lively?

My son is the strongest mage of the Underwater Temple!

He's strong...

No doubt about it... He's definitely the strongest one here.

You two should come at me at once.

I'd rather not hurt you any more than I need to.

Water Creation Magic: Sea God's Hammer!

You ain't ending anyone, you bastard!

I'm not done having fun yet!

The one who appeared before Magna and Luck

was one of the Eye of the Midnight Sun's top brass, Vetto.

Looks like you're having fun.

Why don't you let us join in?

The Pointlessly Direct Fireball and the Wild Lightning

Oh, it's a full moon tonight.

I wonder if Asta is looking up at the same moon right now.

Oh, silly me!

Bah-ha? I guess I fell asleep—

Bah-ha?!

Hmph. Not even good for a warm-up.

You're just a pack of mice.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Bah-ha...

I know we were all on vacation, but there were a number of senior Magic Knights here!

And they were all defeated by one guy...

What were the Magic Knights we believed in so much all about, then?

That thing wasn't human.

That was...

a beast!

Where'd this macho dude suddenly come from?

He looks pretty hardcore.

Aw, that shark guy was my prey.

All I know is... This guy's magic power is greater than Captain Yami's.

You made it through the rough ocean currents

and then forced your way in here...

That's some incredible magic, all right.

Oh? I guess you can still move.

Ow...

I'm pretty sure you're not a Magic Knight.

What brings you to the Underwater Temple?

We're after the same thing as those two over there, the magic stone.

I see. But it's not like I'm just going to hand it over.

Oh, I don't expect you to just hand it over.

We're going to lay waste to everyone here, make you despair, and seize it!

What are you...

Scatter and spread despair!

Yes, sir!

Well, you're all rather rude, abrupt guests.

Could you head on home now?

Hey, you.

That's also a pretty rude way to address someone.

If you want to get your way,

do something about it, and hit me with all your magic.

Looks like you're completely underestimating me.

I may not look like it, but I am the strongest in the Underwater Temple.

Enough talk! Say it with your magic!

Well, if you insist...

Water Creation Magic: Sea God's Hammer!

Beast Magic: Rhinoceros Armor.

It didn't even faze him.

That's not a bad spell, for a mouse.

Let me give you a reward.

A reward?

Yes, a reward called despair.

This world is all about the survival of the fittest.

The strongest beasts survive, and the weak vermin live only to become prey!

Beast Magic: Bear Claw!

Did you get a good feel for how vastly different our powers are?

You insects aren't even allowed to hold on to hope.

I-Impossible...

The temple's greatest warrior, Gio, is being defeated so easily.

I've never seen anything like this.

Hey, gramps. Playtime's over. Hurry up and get me in there.

Well, if you insist... But who in the world is this man?

He's one of the leaders of a nasty terror group called the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

The Eye of the Midnight Sun?

I don't have time to explain. We're short on time, so hurry it up.

Sadly, I can't.

We can't leave here until the game is over.

I can't even undo the spell. Those are the rules of my magic.

I see.

What are you...

Then I'll just let myself out.

Say what?

Dark Magic: Lightless Slash!

Wh-What in the world?!

Tch.

This is...

Spatial Magic: Different Dimension Sphere.

Once you're trapped in my spatial magic,

no matter who you are, you won't be able to escape.

Black, foreign swordsman...

The mana tells me you're here.

Stay there and watch for a while.

You're going to be my main dish...

After I season you with despair, as you watch all of your friends die!

If he gets out, the temple's done for.

Hey, gramps.

Wh-What?

Can you make it so they hear us out there?

Huh? S-Sure...

But what are you going to do?

Testing, testing...

That's the captain...

Hey, you dumbasses, listen up.

Captain! I beat one!

Someone really dangerous just crashed the game.

He's one of the leaders of the Eye of the Midnight Sun,

and a beast of a man strong enough to go head-to-head with a Magic Knight Captain.

It's him...

Also, three of his underlings are over there, too.

Hurry up and hand over that yummy-looking food...

Here's the problem... Due to reasons, I can't go over there.

What?! What do you mean, "reasons"?!

Meaning you guys gotta do something about him.

You can't be serious!

Listen up.

All of you, surpass your limits, right here, right now.

If you die, I'll kill you.

That's all.

Live...

He's insane.

I never thought the game could get so exciting.

It's a game that'll determine the fate of the Underwater Temple, blast it!

The game rules have changed!

No time limit.

To clear the game, defeat the Eye of the Midnight Sun's team.

Those who contribute to clearing the game

will get any wish that's within my power to grant!

There's an absolute monster here...

Damn it.

I'm scared, but...

That makes him worth fighting even more!

I'll do this... I'm gonna do this, damn it!

Asta...

I guess we'll have to put our match on hold.

Kiato...

All right, let's go!

Yeah!

Now, then... Who's my next prey?

Not yet...
