Chapter 168

Vs. People Who Swore Loyalty to the Same Man (同じ男に忠義を誓った者達) is the 168th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
The Black Bull base, Patolli, and the floating dungeon have gathered at the Royal Capital.

Previously, Yami witnesses the Reincarnation Magic spell's activation and wonders what the spell was since it was not an attack but he can feel a strong magical presence across the kingdom. He then notices two presences below him and watches as Marx Francois and Owen kill two mages. Yami questions their appearances and actions, and the two reveal that they are elves who have taken over Marx's and Owen's bodies, and that they have come to destroy all of the humans of the Clover Kingdom. To himself, Yami notes how it was not the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun who were possessed. Yami mutters that this will be a pain, but Marx tells him that he will not feel anything soon and fires arrows at him. Blocking the arrows, Yami notes that his memories will be erased if he is hit and that both Marx's and Owen's abilities have increased, with Owen's Healing Magic now being able destroy bodies. Yami dodges their attacks, while taking Julius Novachrono's body with him.

Owen and Marx notice that Julius's body is important to Yami and decide that they will destroy it in front of Yami. Angered by what his friends are being forced to say, Yami leaps at them. Marx fires more arrows, which Yami absorbs with Black Hole. Yami then cuts apart Owen's Qualle Operation, dashes around the elves, and knocks them unconscious with blows to the backs of their necks with the back of his sword. Yami remarks that he promised the man that Owen and Marx follow that he would protect the kingdom.

Yami comments about how powerful Owen and Marx had become even through they are not battle type mages. Roses suddenly rise from the tower, forcing Yami to retreat, and cradle Owen and Marx. Charlotte Roselei, who is possessed by Charla, reprimands her brethren for being careless after just awakening but says that they can sleep within her magic. Yami comments about how that is not like her, while Charla replies that she does not know who Yami is but all humans will be eliminated.
