Chapter 45

is the 45th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Asta charges at the monster to protect the children, vowing to die before he lets them be harmed. Gauche Adlai returns and kicks Asta down so that he will not be injured. Gauche then states he has returned because his sister asked him to, and that he left to get her to safety. Theresa Rapual and Sally are both surprised to see him.

Gauche attacks the monster with Double Reflect Refrain but to no avail. He is then knocked off his broom, and the monster attempts to crush him. But Asta slashes its arm, and tells Gauche they must fight as a team. Gauche then recalls his first meeting with Yami Sukehiro, in which the captain told him that protecting one thing will lead him to protect another.

Asta's grimoire releases his second sword, which releases an energy slash. While the monster sustains damage, it is not enough to kill it, and the monster still regenerates. Gauche comes to the conclusion that the only way to kill it is to attack faster than it can heal. Gauche also suspects that Asta's attack is the only effective attack. He decides to utilize his Mirror Magic with Asta.

Gauche removes his hair from his eyes, revealing a Magic Mirror in his left eye, and tells Asta to stare into his eye, which leads to the creation of multiple Astas. The Astas attack simultaneously with the same technique.
