It appeared as if humanity will soon be destroyed by the demons.
But there was a mage who fought alone and saved everyone.
He was called the Magic Emperor and became a legend.
Yuno, we're family, right?
Yes.
We're not related by blood though.
Right.
But we're even closer than some people who are related by blood.
Where are you going with this?
What I'm saying is
we may not have a family by blood,
but we've made many close friends.
And in the future,
the new friends we'll meet should also be treated like family!
Yes.
We're almost there.
This is the only tunnel left to go.
This is magnificent!
So much for a dungeon.
How do we get in now?
It seems that Black Bull hasn't arrived here yet.
That's for sure.
They never had a chance to beat us.
You're right.
How?
Mimosa!
Even with her sharp senses, she never saw it coming.
This is not Trap Magic.
What magic is this?
Who is that?
Who's standing in my way?
Scram.
It's essential to have strong teammates.
Sorry, just stay there and keep getting weaker.
Win.
You have to keep winning, Luck.
Hold on.
It hasn't been this fun
for a long time!
Again.
Let's fight again!
I really don't want
to snuff out a young life.
Luck!
Why can't you do as I say?
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
Why are you smiling?
Why don't you throw a tantrum or cry?
Why were you born this way?
What?
No way.
A commoner defeated a noble?
This is the first time it has happened in these student duels.
He's no ordinary folk if he could beat a noble.
Oh no, I've picked on him before.
What if he wants payback?
It's freaky that he's always smiling.
Don't talk to him unless you want to be hit.
That brat...
You beat a noble with your magic?
Luck, you're amazing!
I didn't know you were that powerful!
Most people could never defeat a noble.
You are special.
You must keep doing it.
Keep winning and winning.
Keep using your power to win
because nobody else
in this world will help you.
Use the power within you.
I'll do anything to make you happy, Mother.
Win.
That was close.
You've gotten sharper and faster.
Win.
I have to keep on winning!
I have to use my power!
Sorry, I can't afford to lose either.
Smoke Creation Magic, Smoke Binding Cross Prison.
The smoke is tangible?
I can't move.
I didn't want to cast this spell since it uses up so much power.
Goodness, I'm burnt out.
You're not going anywhere now, young man.
Now then,
let's see how my kid is doing.
Owie.
It isn't easy getting through to that kid.
Perhaps it's the generational gap?
Plant Healing Magic.
Dream Healing Flower Basket.
I'm so sorry.
I'm no use to you as a healer if I'm taken out.
Don't worry about that.
Focus on healing yourself first.
Is he a mage from the predatory Diamond Kingdom?
You!
How could a warrior attack from behind?
I don't understand you.
What?
You are but pebbles littering my path.
-Yuno, back me up! -Yes.
This nefarious Diamond Kingdom mage will know the power of Golden Dawn!
All right! This path is all clear!
The magic in the air is getting thicker.
Is the treasure chamber really up ahead?
What's wrong?
This magic power.
Luck must be battling someone.
Really?
Does this mean the enemy has invaded?
The enemy? Then we should back him up!
But...
Luck can handle himself in a fight, can't he?
If there are invaders, they'll head for the treasure chamber.
Shouldn't we try to get there before they do?
We are to carry out this mission quickly and efficiently
to prevent the Diamond Kingdom from stealing any goods.
Golden Dawn will be in the lead if we don't hurry.
Win.
I have to keep winning
using the power within me.
Something got you tied down?
My goal is slowly slipping away.
Wait, what was it that I was seeking?
His attacks are so powerful even without using a grimoire.
There's no indication that it has even affected his stamina!
If this keeps up...
Yuno, go on into the treasure chamber
while I keep him occupied!
He's really strong.
Even you will need backup against him.
Enough! Just do as I say!
Under any other circumstances, I wouldn't rely on a commoner like you,
but for the good of our kingdom,
we must fulfill our duties!
Finally, you idiot.
Damn it!
I can free you from your chains.
Yuno, we're family, right?
But we're even closer than some people who are related by blood.
Looks like another feisty kid has come to play.
Where are you going with this?
Why did you come back?
What I'm saying is...
Who are you?
I...
We may not have a family by blood,
but we've made many close friends.
The mission should be your first priority!
The new friends we'll meet should also be treated like family!
No.
-You are my friend! -You are my friend!
Yuno, go on into the treasure chamber
while I keep him occupied!
Finally, you idiot.
Damn it!
I can free you from your chains.
Why did you come back, you idiot?
For the sake of Clover Kingdom,
you must get to the treasure chamber first even if you must go alone!
First, we'll defeat him.
Then, we'll enter the chamber together.
We're going to take you down, old man!
Jeez, now your friends are here.
This is getting troublesome.
She passed suddenly without any warning.
She seemed to be under a lot of stress.
The poor kid.
He's all alone now.
I'm not sure if he's even sad.
What a strange kid.
His mother is dead and he's still smiling.
He is...
Luck?
...my prey.
Win.
I must keep winning for Mother.
I'm taking him on alone.
My power alone is enough.
I don't need anyone's help!
What are you even saying?
My mother would not approve otherwise!
Do what you want.
Wait a minute!
I guess it's not the time to hold back.
I have to.
I have to!
For Mother!
I need to win Mother's approval.
I am on my own.
You can do what you want,
but so will I!
I have to rely on myself.
Like hell you do!
It's not over yet!
It was hidden.
I don't care what you think of me!
You can think whatever you want!
Somewhere I wouldn't notice.
And I'm free to think whatever I want!
I think of you as our friend!
I...
I do have friends that I can rely on.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I...
I am not alone.
Fighting together does sound like more fun!
That's right!
Well, this doesn't look good.
I guess I'll have to get serious now.
Smoke Creation Magic, Degenerate King's Smoke Prison.
Kids, there's no escaping now.
No matter who we're up against,
Black Bull will always win!
It's time for me to get serious.
What?
Wind Creation Magic,
Swift White Hawk
and Wind Blades Shower.
Two spells at once?
This power...
He...
The Golden Dawn
will enter the treasure chamber first!
Take this!
I keep cutting it, but it keeps coming back!
Take this.
It's so smoky!
This room is filling up with gas.
We'll end up suffocating!
We have to work fast to defeat the mage!
I can sense his magic power
so I can track his general location.
But he'll just dodge any attacks.
Based on our exchange earlier,
this smoke allows him to move faster
and his ability to detect magic power is also heightened.
The only way to hit him will be to catch him by surprise.
But how do we do that when he can detect us?
The downside to this spell is that it uses up a lot of magic.
But I still have enough stamina in me to keep this up.
It also doesn't help that I can't see through this smoke either.
But that's not a problem
because your magic power is like a beacon to my senses.
Close.
Nice, rapid-fire attacks.
Are you getting desperate?
You won't be able to hit me like this.
This won't clear the smoke either.
You're just wasting your energy.
This is the difference between you and me.
Experience in battle counts.
What?
Got you!
I herded him in one direction.
Then, I concentrated on my magic
and released it in a split second while he was distracted.
Here you go!
And Asta who doesn't have magic to give away his location
dealt the blow.
We did it!
Teamwork really is essential!
How is that possible?
Be gone.
-Petite Clover! -Petite Clover!
Family.
So you treat all the new friends you meet
as if they are family?
That's a wonderful attitude to have.
Yes.
Is family something like this?
Klaus!
That tickles.
Yuno, I have something for you.
Glasses!
Thank you!
Not happening.
He's really strong.
But if I'm going to be the Magic Emperor,
I can't fall here!
Black Clover, Page 17,
"Destroyer."
My magic is in never giving up!
