Will Asta Defeat Lucius? Or has Yuno defeated him already?

Black Clover’s manga is currently running its last arc, and since its end is nearing, it’s giving rise to some intense battles and jaw-dropping scenes.

Man, I was blown away when I saw yuno delivering that slashing blow and killing Lucius.

However, something was fishy. How can the formidable antagonist be dead without the intervention of our shoujo protagonist?

Our protagonist, Asta, wielder of anti-magic, an oddity in the realm of black clover, is going to prove against all odds yet again and save the day.

With the help of his homies, the “Ultimate Black Bulls,” he will smackdown Lucius and save the kingdom and Yuno, who failed to “kill” Lucius in chapter 360 of the manga.

1. Has yuno defeated Lucius before Asta?

No, Yuno had not defeated Lucius before Asta, even though Yuno had sliced Lucifer in half, “killing” him in chapter 360 of black clover.

Lucius survived, and he isn’t going down that easily. After all, he is the host of Astaroth, one of the three underworld rulers.

Yuno and I almost got a heart attack in chapter 361 when Lucius spawned behind Yuno, completely unscathed.

Apparently, Lucius created a couple of clones of himself by combining soul, body, blood, and bone magic.

Lucius even threatened Yuno that his plan was flawless and ultimate and that he would succeed in transforming the land into a new primordial seedbed.

Well, Yuno will need a helping hand from Asta and the Blackbulls.

The Black Bulls were on it. They traveled to the Witches’ Forest, asking the Witch Queen to help locate Asta.

Fortunately, The Witch Queen fuels them with hope by announcing that she had foreseen them coming and that Asta is, in fact, alive but too far to reach them.

Dorothy Unsworth joins hands with the Witch Queen and Vanessa to help the Black Bulls, and with the help of Finral Roulacase’s Spatial Magic, they create a colossal compound magic spell: the Door of Fate, which would help to reach Asta.

Asta prepares to save the day and departs once Ryuya Ryudo gets his cape.

2. Will Asta defeat Lucius?

Yes, Asta will defeat Lucius along with the Black Bulls, lending a hand to Yuno. For now, he defeated Damnatio Kira in chapter 367.

In chapter 366, Finral and Rouge enter the Hino country just in time and take back Asta and Ichika, Yamis’s sister.

Back at the Witch’s forests, the Black Bulls and the others were nearing their limits.

While the Witch Queen was running out of magic to heal everyone, Secre was also trying her best to seal everyone’s wounds with her sealing magic runes throughout the battlefield.

Asta arrives just in the nick of time and finds that his homies have been defeated and heavily injured because of the paladin Damnatio Kira and several Guardian Angels.

He uses his Demon-Destroyer Sword to remove Damnatio’s magic from the area and the Bulls.

Damnatio realizes that his Scale Magic would be ineffective against Asta due to Asta’s lack of magic power.

So, he tries his Atmosphere Magic on Asta, but Asta quickly busts out his Destroyer move, throwing up a defensive barrier that totally cancels out the Atmosphere Magic around him.

Damnatio is stunned by Asta’s counterattack and overwhelmed by Asta’s enhanced command over his Anti Magic. Finral also notices Asta’s improvement.

Damnito finds this unfathomable and gets haughty that there’s no way he could lose to someone like Asta.

Ignited with passion, he charges Asta with his sword, calling him a threat to Lucius’s peaceful order and justice.

Asta lands the coolest Zetten counterattack with his Demon-Slasher Katana, destroying Damnatio’s sword and slashing him.

In chapter 367, the Witch Queen tries to name her successor as she has expended most of her magic with Secre Swallowtail.

The Witch Queen announces Vanessa Enoteca, her daughter, to be the next in line.

However, Dorothy Unsworth chimes in, declaring that she’ll assume that role as Vanessa never actually desired it.

It makes sense, as Vanessa was literally tortured and locked up in a cage by her mom when she showed the potential of attaining the Red String of Fate.

In addition, this chapter reveals that Asta has an amazing trump card up his sleeve to rejuvenate his homies.

We are taken back in a flashback to Asta’s training in the Hino country, where Ryo proposed the idea that Anti-magic can be given or infused to people since Asta can grant Anti-magic to objects.

Asta remembers his Demon-Dweller Sword ability, which was able to absorb Noelle’s spell in the Dungeon.

So, he gives it a shot, and guess what? He is successfully able to infuse the Black Bulls with his Anti-magic using his Demon Dweller sword.

What’s even cooler is that they are healed and inherit some Aniti-magic properties, titling themselves “The Ultimate Black Bulls.” They also have a new appearance.

Bet you can’t wait for the final showdown between them and Lucius, his Paladins and angels, more like minions. I can’t wait, either. Here are some details about the next chapter.
