Chapter 96

is the 96th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Radols starts to beg for his life and asks for Asta to pull out the sword. Asta tells Radols that he will not because he knows how powerful Radols is and that Radols might attack his friends. Radols tells Asta that he will die, but Asta replies that Radols will not since he did not hit any of Radols' vitals. Asta also tells Radols that he is going to knock him out, and Radols thinks about how he will be out of mana if he tries to defend himself.

Radols quickly escapes before Asta can hit him, and uses Reinforcement Magic to force the sword out. Radols quickly grabs Fana and tells her to bring out her powerful magic, but Fana tells him that she does not know about what he is talking. Radols tells Fana to stop acting stupid and to bring out her magic or he will kill Mars, and fires a warning blast at Mars. Fana yells for Radols to stop. Salamander appears and attacks, but Radols absorbs the mana. After finishing absorbing Salamander's mana, Radols comments about how it the most delicious magic that he has ever absorbed, and Fanzel Kruger comments about how no human can produce that amount of mana.

Asta charges at Radols but Radols easily pierces Asta's shoulder from a distance away. Radols comments about how this power is the greatest and that he will use it to kill all those who looked down on him and even take the kingdom for himself. Asta stands back up, and Radols says that he will have to finish Asta off first, and fires a blast at Asta. Radols comments about how he cannot be careless anymore and that he will fire undefendable attacks from long range until Asta's body is in pieces.

The Witch Queen is watching from her throneroom and comments about how inferior Asta is. She thought Asta might have been someone's descendant because he was able to use that sword. She then raises her hand and says that Asta will show her who and what he really is.

At the battle, Radols wonders how many blasts Asta's body can hold up against. Asta suddenly looks up, while black matter surrounds his arm and the grass withers away.
