Chapter 45

is the 45th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Asta charges at the monster to protect the children, vowing to die before he lets them be harmed. Gauche returns, and kicks Asta down so that he will not be injured. Gauche then states he returned because his sister asked him to, and that he left to get her to safety. The Elderly sister and the girl are both surprised to see him.

Gauche attacks the monster with Double Reflect Refrain but to no avail. He is then knocked off his broom, and the monster attempts to crush him. But Asta slashes its arm, and tells Gauche the must fight as a team. Gauche then recalls his first meeting with the Black Bull's Captain. In which the captain tells him that protecting one thing will lead him to protect another.

Asta's glimor releases his Enhanced Sword, in which he attacks with an energy slash. While the monster sustains damage, it is not enough to kill it, and it still regenerates .Gauche comes to the conclusion that the only way to kill it is to attack faster than it can heal. Gauche also suspects that Asta's energy-slice was the only effective attack.Then he decides to utilize his Reflection technique with Aster.

Gauche then removes his hair from his eyes, revealing a contact-mirror in his left eye. He then tells aster to stare into his eye. Which leads to the creation of multiple Astas. The Astas then attack simultaneously with the same technique.
