Chapter 191

Storming the Shadow Palace (突入 影の王宮) is the 191st Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
As the Magic Knights pass through the gate to the Shadow Palace, they enter a strange space that disrupts their mana. Nozel Silva informs everyone that the Shadow Palace is the border between the living world and the afterlife. Asta panics that they are going to die, which also causes Noelle Silva to panic.

Asta slams into a floor face first and Mimosa Vermillion lands on him, smashing his head into the stone. Mimosa quickly apologizes and uses her magic to heal him. As Mimosa is healing Asta, they notice that the others are not with them and wonder where they all are. Once Asta is healed, he notices that he can use his black form again and thanks Mimosa. She then maps the layout of the Shadow Palace, which impresses Asta. Mimosa identifies that the large rooms each have an elf in them and that she and Asta are in a corridor that connects two rooms. She then says that everyone else was scattered and that they will have to defeat the elves in order to meet up with everyone else. She also notices that Licht is in the topmost room. Asta says that they will just have to defeat all the enemies and rendezvous at the top were the boss is.

Asta and Mimosa then head up into the room above them. The room is full of painted canvases floating around. Greeting them, Lira informs them that he will be using them to practice his Painting Magic, until the final magic stone is put in place. Asta promises to wake up Rill Boismortier, but Lira insists that he is Lira and is already awake. As Lira summons his creations from the paintings, he remarks that Painting Magic is much better than his original Scribble Magic. He declares that they will repaint the world after all the humans are erased. Asta gets ready for battle and says that this is not going to be easy after all.

In another room, Noelle wonders why she is all alone, so Fana flies down and offers to keep her company for a short time. In another room, Vetto is confronted by Mereoleona Vermillion and finds her mana interesting. Mereoleona threatens to teach him some manners, to which Vetto responds that he is no beast to be disciplined by humans. Elsewhere, Fuegoleon Vermillion encounters the possessed Kaiser Granvorka and voices his regret in fighting another captain. The elf admits that he does not need to hold back since they do not know each other. Fuegoleon agrees and says that holding back would be disrespectful.
