Chapter 27

is the 27th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

A fight between Asta and "Jimmy" begins but the former is forced on the defensive as the latter is trying to eliminate the little girl that he is protecting. Meanwhile, Noelle is also struggling with her own insecurities after an encounter with her older siblings. Can these Black Bull members move past through their struggles and emerge victorious?

Summary
Asta begins to bleed after he received a scratch from "Jimmy"'s attack. The summoner revealed that his corpse's attack was a bullet composed of curse power before ordering the said corpse to launch a barrage of attack on Asta. The latter manages to defend himself against the attack, but the mysterious man decides to shift the attack towards the little girl that is standing behind him. Asta refuses to give up as he is forced into the defensive as he tries to protect the little girl from the incoming attacks.

From afar, Noelle Silva notices her squadmate's struggle but she hesitates to help him when she remembers her brother's, Noselle Silva, comments about her abilities. Unbeknownst to her, several corpses suddenly charges at her as she fails to react on time. Fortunately, Fuego Leon Vermilion manages to saves Noelle as he walks towards her. The Crimson Lion captain then scolded Noelle for her lack of focus before giving her a few words of encouragement.

On the other end, Asta is still struggling to protect the little girl while collecting wounds from "Jimmy"'s attacks. Several of the latter's attacks manage to go unnoticed by Asta as they are about to hit the little girl. Suddenly, a sphere of water manifests around the little girl as Asta realizes that Noelle is coming to his aid. Asta immediately charges forwards towards "Jimmy" as Noelle takes over the protecting duty. "Jimmy"'s summoner summons several corpses in order to prevent Asta from advancing any further but Leopold Vermilion assists Asta by burning all of them with his spell. At that moment, Asta charges towards "Jimmy" with both swords at hands and takes it down before challenging the latter's summoner to a fight with him.
