Black Clover is one of the most beloved shōnen series around, and during what should be a high point, the series finds itself at an all-time low.

Now Asta will face the same dilemma as Noelle, since Acier Silva was resurrected and made into a Paladin by Lucius, which made her fight against her mother, who was considered one of the strongest mages. Liebe is the most affected one as he can't bring himself to cut Licita. This puts them in a predicament, as Lucius has proven to be a cunning and scheming enemy that excels at exploiting the weakness of his opponent, and Asta is the only one who can stand against him with his anti-magic.

Lucius Zogratis Gets Even More Powerful

Even though Lucius was already quite difficult to defeat, the new chapters of Black Clover will give the villain an unimaginable power-up. One of the biggest revelations in Black Clover's chapters 379 and 380 is tied to the origin of the grimoires, as it is stated that they return to the grimoire towers after the death of their owners, but they still retain a part of their soul imprint on them. This is the medium that Lucius has been using to bring back deceased mages as paladins.

However, as Lucius has now linked himself with the Grimore Towers in the Clover Kingdom, he has access to countless magic from all the deceased mages, multiplying his strength in an unbelievable way. Lucius's power to copy multiple magics gives him an incredible advantage in battle, making it harder for Asta and Yuno now that he can't use his powers due to Licita's resurrection.

Moreover, while the chapter will delve into how Lucius managed to resurrect Licita, it has also been revealed that Lucius' defeated paladins might be back as a different type of creature that will give trouble to the mages that continue to fight, teasing that some lives might be lost in the chapters. Nevertheless, fans should wait until the official release of Black Clover's chapters 379 and 380 to know what greater dangers the story will bring for Asta and his friends.
