Karna's Aim 「カルナの狙い Karuna no Nerai」 is the 34th chapter of Tashiro Yumiya's Black Clover Side-Story: Quartet Knights.

Summary

Julius Novachrono apologizes to Nozel Silva, Jack the Ripper, and Charlotte Roselei for calling them to his office again, and thanks them for their efforts. However, Charlotte apologizes to Julius for failing the mission, but Julius says it's understandable since the enemy was the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Nozel informs Julius that the Stone Tablet was already destroyed by the time he arrived to the dungeon, and apologizes for the enemy escaping. Jack rants about being tricked, the dungeon was already destroyed by the time he arrived, and vows to shred the culprit himself. Julius tries to calm Jack down.

William Vangeance suddenly shows up apologizing for being late, then asks what happened with Karna and the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Nozel comments that William is always late and wonders what he is doing. William answers that it's many things. Julius draws their attention, and Marx explains that mana is erupting from the Grand Magic Zones because of the destruction of the Stone Tablets and that restoring the tablets will take a month. Julius tells them that they learned new information on the enemy while they were out on their missions, then confirms with Yami Sukehiro who is waiting at the doorway.

Julius informs them that he sent Yami and the Black Bulls to look for Karna. It's explained that the ringleader of these incidents is Karna's father, Freese the Seer, and that he is controlling Karna's body with a magic pendant that she is wearing. Charlotte's surprised by such a thing, but Julius tells her that it is mostly confirmed at this point. Furthermore, it seems that Karna's power revived previously defeated members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, such as Vetto and Fana. Asta's Anti Magic was not effective against them either, likely because of the tool having special mana. Marx comments that Karna's young appearance could also be a result of the magic tool. Julius then says that the main question is what Karna and the Eye of the Midnight Sun are planning. Yami tells them that Freese said the Clover Kingdom will be destroyed on the night of the red moon. It is said that mana around the world becomes denser on that night, which is a total lunar eclipse that happens once every hundred years.

Julius says that Freese and the others plan to gather mana from the Grand Mana Zones to destroy the Royal Capital during the crimson moon. Although Julius does not fully understand it, he considers their actions consistent with that. Jack doubts if it's possible, but Nozel points out that there is a lot of mana in the Grand Magic Zones. William notes they will need to strengthen the capital's defenses, then asks when is the crimson moon. Julius answers that it's tomorrow.
