Episode 26

Wounded Beasts (手負いの獣) is the 26th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Asta blocks all of the mage's attacks. Leopold Vermillion joins in and helps Asta fight the mages. Noelle Silva puts a protective barrier around the two of them. Asta and Leopold get struck by wind needles and fall down. The mage is about to strike again when the Magic Knights return. Mimosa Vermillion starts to heal Fuegoleon Vermillion. Valtos tells the mages that they should retreat now that the other knights have returned. One of the mages captures Asta and as they retreat they say that the Eye of the Midnight Sun will take down the Clover Kingdom. Noelle wants to go after them but Nozel Silva says that their priority is to strengthen the capital's defenses. Asta is taken to the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout. The mage that captured him, Sally, wants to study him because of his use of anti-magic. Suddenly, Julius Novachrono appears. He uses his magic to restrain the mages and free Asta. He tells Asta to watch him because he's what he needs to surpass if Asta wants to become the Wizard King. Julius asks the mages what the stone slab and jewels embedded in it is. Julius says that he'll just ask them back in Clover Kingdom when he senses that something is coming. Suddenly, another mage appears in a blinding white light.
