Chapter 208

Swords (剣) is the 208th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
In the Shadow Palace, Gueldre is using his Permeation Magic on himself and Revchi to avoid taking damage from the Devil's magic. Both of them notice Licht's powerful spell and wonders what is happening above them. Gueldre also wonders what the creature is that the Devil had created. Revchi thinks about how they would be dead if it wasn't for Gueldre's Permeation Magic. Revchi also says that he can feel the caster's presence all over the place and that he shouldn't have followed Gueldre to the Shadow Palace, which Gueldre tells him that they would have to face a little bit of danger if they wanted to accomplish their goal. Gueldre also thinks about how they have to escape from the Shadow Palace before his mana runs out.

At another location, Charla and Yami have been freed from the creature thanks to Licht's spell. Charla comments about how the Shadow Palace had been somewhat destroyed by Licht's spell, which Yami wonders how power Licht is. Yami then thanks Charla for healing his arm, which Charla replies that they are now even. Yami thinks about how he will be able to use one more of his dimension slash spell, thanks to Charla healing his arm. Yami says that he can still sense the presence of the Devil and wonders if Licht's spell did any damage. Yami also wants to head back up but currently has no way to head to the upper floors. Yami thinks about how for some reason his Darkness Magic is capable of harming the Devil, and that he will just need to have a one single opening to land a lethal blow. Yami then thinks about how the only other person that is capable of harming the Devil is Asta.

On the top floor, Asta releases a massive amount of Anti-magic. Lumiere notices that the sword that Asta is wielding is Licht's sword, which Secre tells him that it is not since the Devil had turned Licht's grimoire into a five-leaf clover to control it. Secre also says that the Anti-magic within the sword that Asta is wielding is from a different Devil. Asta thinks about how the power he released, is too powerful and he is sent towards the Devil. The Devil says that Asta can't even control his own magic, and attacks with his spear. As Asta easily manages to cut through the Devil's spear, the Devil thinks about how Asta was not only able to cut his spear but also he completely ignored the effect of the space that had been binding the speed of Light Magic. The Devil tells Asta that he doesn't know what Devil's power he has, but Asta will understand the hard way of his place on the pecking order. The Devil uses a spell to have the creature attack Asta, which Asta heads towards the creature. Lumiere comes to Asta's rescue, which Asta thanks him but suddenly hit Lumiere into a wall.

As Yuno and Patolli attack the creature with a spell, Patolli notices that their magic doesn't work on the creature. Patolli thinks about how Lumiere's Light Magic is different compared to his, and thinks about how he should be able to summon that magic but to protect others this time. Patolli then manages to uses his Demon Light Magic in order to destroy some of the creature. The Devil comments about how Patolli is still something special but his effort won't have any effect. Asta thinks about how he should be able to fight the same way as everyone else, and wonder if what he is feeling is to maintain this form.

Secre heads over to Lumiere to check up on him, which Lumiere says that he feels that he won't be able to use his magic for a while because of Asta's Anti-Magic. Secre wonders if she should use her magic to undo the magic that is binding Asta, which Lumiere tells her not to since he says that everything will be fine. Yuno asks Asta how long does he plan to lag behind since he won't become the Magic Emperor if he can't control his power. Yuno then uses a spell to create a sword that is capable of destroying the Devil's creature. Lumiere thinks about how Yuno had condensed all the mana in the air to create a sword that can harm the Devil, while Licht comments about how Yuno had grown so much since their battle. Asta tells Yuno that he had just figured out his magic, which Yuno says that Asta is capable of things if he tries. Asta then says that he will become the Magic Emperor, while using a spell to upgrade his Demon-Slayer Sword.
