Chapter 334

Fragile Soul (脆い魂) is the 334th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Asta decides to use partial Unite, focusing on a single point with that being his arm, which lasts for 10 minutes instead of 5, making his attacks denser and stronger, Asta strikes Lucius Zogratis with the Demon-Slasher Katana but Lucius uses teleportation to dodge the attack, Asta pleads for Lily Aquaria to leave the area as Asta charges at Lucius, Lucius uses Chrono Stasis while stating that Time magic can't be beaten by anything and it is invincible, nothing in the natural world can counter it, only Anti Magic can be it's natural enemy as it negates Lucius's spell.

during the chaos, Asta tells citizens to run away from the battlefield, Lucius taps Asta's forehead and see's him and Liebe as nuisances, Asta then counter attacks from this but Lucius yet again teleports away, Lucius then realizes that despite touching Asta, no change has happened to him, further confirming Lucius's idea that he's indeed a flaw and only physical attacks can fight against him and the Anti magic, Lucius then goes in for a punch that's amplified by Gravity Magic, destroying a rooftop in the process, Asta questions how Lucius is so good at hand to hand combat like Lucifero was, but it doesn't matter since Asta and Liebe are now stronger than they were back then, Asta then dodges Lucius's punch and pushes him back, he then swaps his Demon-Slasher Katana with the Demon-Dweller Sword and fires a Black Slash at Lucius, Lucius dodges the attack but Asta negates his full teleportation with the Demon-Destroyer Sword and instantly goes for another attack with the Dweller Sword, Asta believes that this'll work and end Lucius, but Lucius, seeing how powerful and dangerous it is to his new world peace, decides that as long as he's here, he'll never let that happen, he then reverts his grimoire to his own innate magic, while Lucius was born into a family of Devil hosts, he learned magic that can purify Devil power and grant sacred power to humans, he transforms into humanity's true form, Asta can tell from his Ki that Lucius is no longer a human nor devil, Lucius then teleports again and Asta decides to track him down and predict where he goes, Asta is then shocked to see Lily is held hostage by Lucius, pointing his finger at her head, Lily is terrified and Asta is worried, Lucius than tells Asta that his magic is Soul Magic, which allows him to manipulate the souls of anyone he touches, since the soul itself is the source of human life, spirit and magic, Asta questions what Lucius is planning to do with her while also trying to find a solution to saving Lily, but Demon Dweller is too risky and he can't get out the Demon Slasher Katana in time either.

Lucius decides to show Asta what a human who is truly happy looks like, Asta pleads him not to but it's too late and Lucius uses his magic on Lily, changing her to neither a human nor devil, Lily then speaks to Asta and tells him that if it's for world peace, he should die, Asta is completely shocked and is then struck diagonally in the chest with Lucius's hand due to Lucius taking advantage of Lily's distraction, Lucius then says that Asta is a fragile soul and that he'd never beat him like that, Lucius says farewell to Asta, the flaw of the world, as he and Lily watch him fall below.
