Chapter 287

Day of Atonement (贖罪の日) is the 287th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Nacht thinks about how he did not care of he died, but he was only supposed to die until their victory was assured since he is monitoring the whole situation and giving orders. Nacht figures that he does not have the luxury of thinking that now, and he has to do something about these high-level devils or else. Nacht thinks about his limits, and that his mid-ranking devils will not be able to touch these highest-ranking devils.

Nacht thinks back to when he was mourning in front of Morgen's grave. Yami showed up and said that he was going to make his own squad one day and that he would make Nacht his vice-captain so that they both can be ridiculous together. Yami picked up Nacht's pack of cigarettes and then left Nacht at the grave.

Nacht thinks about how he cannot forgive himself, no matter how he pays for his sins. Nacht also thinks about how he cannot let himself be praised or stand in the spotlight, and how he cannot and must not be like Morgen. Nacht then thinks about how he will destroy evil with evil from the shadows until he dies.

Nacht asks Plumede and Walgner to help him with his gamble, which Plumede says that he will since Nacht showed them things they never could have seen in the underworld, while Walnger says that he believes in Nacht. Nacht remembers when Morgen said that Nacht has the greatest talent for magic, and thinks about how he will surpass his limits, here and now. Nacht enters Unite Mode: Gallus × Felis, which Lilith and Naamah notice that Nacht's magic had just grew. Nacht thinks about how he can boost the power of a single spell to the class of a supreme devil for just a moment. Nacht uses his Monument of Atonement spell, and explains how he will sacrifice himself to lock Lilith and Naamah inside a world of shadows, where no light, life, or death exists. Nacht tells them to come and play an endless game of tag with him and seals the devils.

Suddenly an explosion of Fire and Ice happens, which Nacht is wounded. Nacht thinks about how this is impossible, since the devils were able to break through his spell even through it does not physically exist. Nacht also thinks about how the devil's magic is able to burn and freeze everything, which the devils say what their magic is (Demon Ice Magic and Demon Fire Magic). As Nacht thinks about what the devils' magic is capable of, he is suddenly restrained by the devils. As Nacht screams out, the devils laugh and comment about how good it is. As the devils express how good the screams of a human is, Nacht thinks about the devils were playing this whole time. The devils decide to kill Nacht and tell him to let them hear his last and finest scream, which Nacht thinks about how there is no human who would beat a supreme devil.

Suddenly Asta shows up and cuts Naamah's arm off, which Naamah notices that says that his arm was severed. Nacht thinks about how Anti Magic is the only thing that could, while Asta asks the devils what they are doing to their vice-captain.
