Black Clover Chapter 216

Asta learns from Julius that his black power stems from a devil, while Nero demonstrates her unique transformation back into a bird. Julius explains the precarious state of the Clover Kingdom, noting that it is surrounded by three potentially hostile nations, including the Diamond, Heart, and Spade Kingdoms, all while the realm's magic knights remain exhausted from recent conflicts. Elsewhere, Sekke unintentionally rescues King Augustus Kira from an attack by anti-monarchist nobles seeking to exploit the kingdom's vulnerability. As Sekke struggles against the assailants, Damnatio steps forward, using his overwhelming scale magic to force the rebels to their knees before confronting Asta and labeling him a devil-possessed wretch.
