Chapter 297

Advent (降臨) is the 297th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
After being stabbed, Vanica Zogratis comments about how fantastic Noelle Silva is. The two continues to clash, and Noelle is able to counter all of Vanica's attacks and continues to wound Vanica. Noelle manages to pin Vanica down and tells her that she has lost. Amazed by the fight's feeling, Vanica wonders if this feeling is friendship and announces that this makes them rivals and that they should compete to see who gets stronger. Noelle refuses, saying that Vanica's satisfaction will not settle this.

As Noelle prepares to kill Vanica, Megicula suddenly emerges as a mass of magic out of Vanica's eye, and Noelle is pushed back. Megicula says that Lucifero and the others have not noticed and that the preparations for its own advent are in place: the souls of three powerful mages of the same sex. Charlotte Roselei notices that power of the curse is withering her roses and figures that this is the real devil. Megicula manifests itself and reveals that its manifestation will be complete once Vanica and Lolopechka die. Lolopechka's curse then accelerates, and Gadjah is wounded as Lolopechka has taken on a devil-like appearance. Megicula wishes to have them all kill each other and die together, which angers Noelle.
