Chapter 33 (Quartet Knights)

Mission's End (任務の末に) is the 33rd chapter of Tashiro Yumiya's Black Clover Side-Story: Quartet Knights.

Summary
A little bit again at the southern dungeon, Nozel, Solid, and Nebra Silva are confronted by Fana. Nozel notices that they are too late and the stone tablet has already been destroyed. Solid suggests that they should kill Fana with their power, with which Nebra agrees. Fana hears this and calls them foolish since they do not understand the difference between their abilities. Fana says that she will kill them all, and releases her mana. Solid notices that Fana's power has increased even more and thinks this is insane.

Suddenly Licht appears, with the help of Valtos, and comments about how he understands how she feels but she cannot just do whatever she wants. Licht says that their mission is to destroy the stone tablet, and they cannot fight them right now. Solid is shocked to see the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Licht announces that all of the stone tablets have been destroyed. Licht also says that they cannot do anything and that he has been waiting for this time to come. Nozel attacks with his Silver Spear spell, but Licht uses his magic to stop the attack. Licht then says that they should meet again at a more suitable place, and then vanishes with the others. Nozel thinks about how they have gotten away, and tells his Magic Knights that they must leave immediately. Nozel explains how the mana in dungeon is running wild, and that they must contact the Magic Emperor to plan their next strategy, once they escape the dungeon. As the Magic Knights agree with him, Nozel thinks about how he will defeat the Eye of the Midnight Sun for what they have done to Fuegoleon Vermillion.

At the Royal Capital, Asta proclaims that he is alright now and ready to fight but Noelle Silva tells him that his wounds have not yet healed yet. Luck Voltia says that he is fine and ready to fight now too. The healers comment about how the Magic Knights have terrible wounds, but another comments about how they are already able to move. Asta worries about Yuno and asks if he is okay, and one of the healers tells Asta that Yuno is alright but needs rest right now. Asta comments about Yuno, Klaus Lunettes, and Mimosa Vermillion are all unconscious and that they have just been informed that all of the stone tablets have all been broken. Asta says that they did their best put it was not good enough. Noelle is angry that they were not able to protect the stone tablets. Luck then wonders were the captain is, and Noelle says that he was just here a moment ago. They then wonder were the captain went.

Elsewhere, Finral Roulacase, Grey, Vanessa Enoteca, and Charmy Pappitson have arrived at the capital and comment about capital is crowded. Vanessa thanks Finral for taking them to the capital since all she do is drink at the base and it is nice to change the scenery. Finral says that it is not a great deal, even through he did this with great trouble. Vanessa comments about the festival and that she is impatient for it. Vanessa then comments about how the others are here too. Charmy says that the others were hurt while on their missions, and at such time one should eat.
