Episode 92

The Magic Emperor vs. the Eye of the Midnight Sun's Leader (魔法帝白夜の魔眼頭首) is the 92nd Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Back at the Black Bull hideout which was attacked by Eye of the Midnight Sun, Grey feels that something awful has happened and requests Henry to turn the hideout back to normal. Henry replies slowly that he had no magic left. Gauche digs across the hideout's remains for Marie's merchandise and shouts back at Henry as he gets annoyed with his slowpoke attitude thereby asking Henry to get down for a fight. Henry gets down as Gauche requested and absorbs all of Gauche's magic energy as he got close. Grey and Gordon maintained their distance claiming that they had warned Gauche about this. After a while, Gauche was able to find the box having Marie's merchandise and again engages in a fight with Henry for his annoying comments but, Gauche still wasn't able to recover his magic energy. Grey inquires about what the Eye of the Midnight Sun would have obtained from the hideout. Gauche claims that they might be just bluffing but he gets doubtful as Yami hasn't returned yet and had also asked to defend the hideout precautiously before he went.

At the Golden Dawn headquarter Yami Sukehiro is anxiously waiting for William Vangeance arrival and gets angry upon their members for staring at him. Two of the Golden Dawn members offer him some tea but he shouts back at them for making him wait and gets enraged as it was Langris who made Finral hospitalized and William should be the one who needs to see him which ended up doubting that they were messing with him. The magic knights apologized politely for the vice-captains trouble and asked him to have some faith in their Captain claiming that William wouldn't knowingly insult Yami. Yami thinks back at the past of their meetings and doesn't think of William as a liar and trusts William despite his instinct.

Marx enters the Wizard King's room, wasn't able to find Julius anywhere, and also not able to contact him through his Communication Magic. Marx gets worried about Julius for not being serious about his works as the Wizard King and it gets stacked up as a result. The Wizard King, Julius stands atop the castle gazing at the city and ponders about the Royal Knights expedition, and shortly after he hears footsteps approaching, welcoming William saying that it's not often that William requests to meet him. William thanks Julius for making time and recollects the past, growing up as a cursed child in a forsaken realm, then misjudged for welcoming him as the heir for a noble family where they treated him terribly but Julius was the first to acknowledge his strength despite his looks, gave him the mask as William was conscious of his looks and opened him a new path as a magic knight for which he always respected him and dedicated himself for Julius. Julius feels embarrassed on hearing this, William continues that he climbed up as the Golden Dawns captain to create the ultimate squad with the strongest people which his mana pointed him as the best way to repay Julius and also for some other person who is always within him even before Julius met William. William states that both of them are important to him and they both walk a different path so he refuses to choose between them and asks to decide themselves whilst the scar slowly disappears and a new face appears instead of Williams who introduces himself as the leader of Eye of the Midnight Sun, Licht.

Julius solely hoped that it wasn't the case and always felt that William was always hiding something from him which even Yami felt too and deduces that maybe that was why Fuegoleon became startled as he encountered a familiar face. Julius also doubts William as he rarely saw him after he injured Licht during the attack made by Eye of Midnight Sun but Julius never really thought that there were two souls in one body. Julius inquires Licht on how he removed the scar which doesn't seem to be magic for which Licht replies it was a curse cast upon the clan of Williams Mother and it doesn't have anything to do with him. Licht looks back at the past and resents that he trusted humans but he felt that William was an exception who was able to understand his feelings and helped him so far and also says that he will collect all the magic stones and fill the heart's desire. Julius appreciates William for being such a kind person. Julius now gets clear of Licht's motive to get revenge against humans and requires the two other magic stones which Julius possesses.

Licht opens his grimoire to prepare for battle, Yami jumps out as he senses the mana from where he was. Licht starts out by attacking Julius with Light Sword of Judgment which Julius easily stops by using Chrono Stasis Grigora educating him that light magic is indeed the fastest magic that doesn't mean its unstoppable. Licht tries to test Julius's endurance by creating countless Light Swords which Julius counters anyways. Licht also feels ironic that he was born with light magic as only it has the power to oppose time. Licht uses Bright Judgment Whip which Julius dodges using his magic. Meanwhile, Marx and other magic knights in the palace get alerted due to the rumbling from battle. The battle continues on, Licht assumes that Julius is using a combination of Mana Zone and Time acceleration so that he accelerates time around him and anticipated what happens in the near future. Licht thinks that Julius shouldn't have underestimated him while appearing behind Julius and striking with his light sword.

Both of them settle down on a platform with Julius being wounded around his chest region, Licht looks down on Julius for being slow and says that even if Julius can see what happens ahead there are limits on how quickly Julius can evade. Julius agrees with Licht and describes his true nature of time magic as to steal time from his target which gets stocked which can be used anytime thereby healing himself in a few seconds. Licht gets astonished as Julius reversed time and healed his wounds. Julius says that as one born with magic to steal future his goal as Wizard King was to create an indiscriminate future where everyone lives peacefully and convicts that until that happens he won't die. Licht charges at him saying that it won't happen until humans are present.

Licht being confident in his speed tries to ambush Julius again from behind but to his surprise, Julius becomes faster and appears behind Licht which leaves Licht in astonishment. Licht thinks that Julius was able to anticipate things faster and tries to counter-attack him but Julius destroys his Light sword and states that he can already see the future where Licht cannot defeat him.
