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.

Controlling blood. That is my magic.

Ever since I cast that spell on you,

I've been able to manipulate your blood as I please.

Now, for your first task...

I shall force you to kill everyone here with your own two hands.

Kill every last one of them perfectly.

Asta fell under the Queen of Witches' control and tried to kill his friends, but...

Please! Make him stop!

No.

You cannot escape me.

After all, you are my daughter. My family.

I'm... part of your family?

You're not my family!

The Black Bulls are!

A new spell activated, arising from Vanessa's strong love for her friends.

The red thread... of fate.

Puppet's Blood has come undone?

This magic only takes the side of myself and those I have a family bond with.

You and I have no bond.

I'm Home

You and I have no bond.

Impossible...

Your Majesty, look! I made a doll out of thread!

My, it's so well-made.

I want to make everyone smile with my magic!

I'm sure you'll be able to, Vanessa.

I obsessed so much over obtaining perfection

that I forgot something important.

There is a power you can obtain from your feelings because you're imperfect.

The magic you could not obtain under my care...

It came to you only because you were free and imperfect.

Perfect.

Do as you wish.

You have utterly defeated me.

Blood Recovery Magic: Curse-Breaking Blood-Filled Cocoon.

Ow!

My wounds have healed!

Huh?

She fully healed all of us.

The Queen of Witches really is insane.

We... won?

You're amazing, Vanessa!

We won... We won because of your magic!

Whoo!

Thank goodness.

I'm so glad you're okay!

Do you know how worried I was about you?

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

I see you're naked, as usual.

Huh? When did that happen?

It's been a while, you two.

It's good to see you.

Why, you little...

It's all thanks to you, Vanessa.

No.

It's thanks to all of you.

It's because all of you were there for me that I was able to use that spell.

Thank you.

I guess so.

Huh?

Woohoo! It doesn't hurt!

It doesn't hurt at all! Actually, I feel as light as a feather!

The moment he gets back on his feet...

Talk about energetic.

Hey, Stupidsta! You're practically naked!

You're bringing that up now?!

Maybe he took after you, Master.

What?

But just look at me now, Noelle!

As soon as I was healed, I felt like my muscles were even more powerful!

Stupidsta!

This bird...

Thank goodness those violent people finally left.

That's what they get for attacking the Witches' Forest!

The Eye of the Midnight Sun

was apparently looking for a magic stone that's in this forest.

Do you know anything about that?

I would assume the magic stone you speak of is this.

I have no need of it. You may have it.

Huh? The magic stone?

Whoa, thank you!

Holy crap! We got the magic stone just that easily!

Yami's gonna praise us for this!

Hey, it seemed like the Eye of the Midnight Sun wanted this.

Do you have any idea why?

Actually, who the heck are they, anyway?

Do you know anything about them?

That magic stone is a magical item that heightens the wearer's powers,

but only those of the elf tribe are truly able to use it.

Elves?

The elves possessed great power.

They lived in what is now called the Forsaken Realm several centuries ago.

Each individual elf had an extraordinary amount of magical power.

Many of them were equal to me.

Several centuries? Lady, how old are you?

Your skin is way too flawless.

But...

The humans outnumbered them, and when they fought them, the elves were annihilated.

That Fana girl's third eye...

That is forbidden magic.

But that girl wasn't the one who activated that spell. It was someone else.

Ordinary humans are unable to meddle with forbidden magic.

I-I'm so completely lost.

Activating a forbidden spell

requires a tremendous amount of mana and some sort of sacrifice.

The ancient demon was also a top-level forbidden spell

activated by the leader of the elf clan.

That demon?

It could be that the Eye of the Midnight Sun are descendants of the elves.

It couldn't be.

Are you telling me the evil monsters from the picture book

my nanny read to me as a child were actually elves?

Holy crap! We're getting a ton of amazing new intel!

Reporting! I'm gonna become a reporting fiend!

And Asta, the two swords you bear...

They are the ruined remains of the magic swords used by the elves' leader.

What does that mean?!

Asta's head exploded because he couldn't keep up with the conversation!

Get a hold of yourself, Stupidsta!

He can't! He's too dumb to handle any more of this!

If you continue to fight them, that mystery should also be resolved eventually.

Yeah, he's done.

So you're really going back to the Diamond Kingdom?

Yeah.

The Queen of Witches sealed the effects of Puppet's Blood into this medicine.

I'll pass it off as some longevity drug and give it to the king,

and put an end to Morris's plans.

And I'll remake the Diamond Kingdom into a peaceful nation.

I decided that I'll help Mars out.

That seems like the quickest way to get into the top ranks of the Diamond Kingdom.

Uh, can we trust this guy?

I'll become someone you can approve of,

and one day I'll come to visit you again, Teach.

We'll keep Fana with us.

Mars, Ladros, don't push yourselves too hard.

Don't worry. We'll take good care of her.

I'll do my best to make sure she doesn't have to see Master naked.

Fana, I'm sorry. Please wait until I've changed the country.

I swear that I'll make the Diamond Kingdom the sort of place you can return to.

I'll wait as long as it takes!

Once the Diamond Kingdom is peaceful, let's go see the world together!

Of course!

I'm so jealous!

Sister, one day, that'll be you and me.

Asta...

You called me a friend.

If you run into trouble, I'll come help you at any time, no matter where you are.

That's what friends are for, right?

Yeah!

If you ever need any help, let me know!

I'll blast my way right into the Diamond Kingdom!

You are free.

But this is still your birthplace.

You may come to visit whenever you'd like.

If I start at number two, I'll be at the top in no time!

Hey, don't forget to support Mars!

Yeah, I know, I know!

You can't be trusted.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Miz Vanessa!

Have you finished your goodbyes?

Let's get the heck out of this creepy forest.

Aw, man... I didn't have a chance to get close to any of the witchies.
