Chapter 31

The Crimson Lion King (紅蓮の獅子王) is the 31st Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

A captain of a Magic Knight squad is finally taking the fight into his own hands. Will Fuegoreon just swiftly finish the fight or is a lesson on combat strategy in session?

Summary
After Asta heard that a captain, Fuegoreon Vermilion, is acknowledging him, the young Knight tries to continue his fight. Fortunately, Fuegoreon prevents him from overexerting himself while querying about Rades' attack patterns. The latter then reveals his reason for attacking the Royal Capital, although leaving another reason for the invasion to himself.

Rades then summons his finest corpse, "Carl" to fight Fuegoreon. After he checked on his younger brother, Fuegoreon proceeds on his assault on Rades and his corpse. Surprisingly, it is able to withstand the former's fire spell. As Rades reveals his corpse's abilities, "Carl" manages to force Fuegoreon into defensive by its high-speed attacks. In contrast to his seemingly cornered condition, the Crimson Lion's captain was able to easily notice the weak point of the corpse's defense magic and exploits it. Fuegoreon's observation resulted in him being able to easily destroy "Carl".

Subsequently, Fuegoreon begins to give a speech that manages to encourage the younger Knights while also intimidate Rades. In the meanwhile, Asta becomes completely amazed as he sees Fuegoreon's performances during a fight as a Knight and a captain.
