Chapter 31

The Crimson Lion King (紅蓮の獅子王) is the 31st Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

A captain of a Magic Knight squad is finally taking the fight into his own hands. Will Fuegoreon just swiftly finish the fight or is a lesson on combat strategy in session?

Summary
Hearing that a captain is acknowledging him, Asta tries to continue his fight. Fortunately, Fuegoreon prevents him from overexerting himself while querying about Rades Spirito's attack patterns. The rogue mage then reveals his reason for attacking the Royal Capital, although leaving another reason for the invasion to himself.

Rades then summons his finest corpse, No.1 - Carl, to fight Fuegoreon. After he checks on his younger brother, Fuegoreon begins his assault on Rades and his corpse. Surprisingly, it is able to withstand the captain's fire spell. As Rades reveals his corpse's abilities, "Carl" manages to force Fuegoreon into defensive by its high-speed attacks. In contrast to his seemingly cornered condition, the Crimson Lion's captain is easily able to notice the weak point of the corpse's defense magic and exploits it. Fuegoreon's observation results in him incinerating "Carl".

Subsequently, Fuegoreon begins to give a speech that manages to encourage the younger Knights while also intimidating Rades. Asta becomes completely amazed as he sees Fuegoreon's performances during a fight as a Knight and a captain.
