Black Clover Chapter 40

A sudden snowy storm hits the common realm town as Asta, Noelle, and Gauche discover that several children from the local church have vanished. Suspecting magical kidnapping, Gauche uses his mirror magic to track Marie's mana signature while Noelle and Rebecca stay behind to protect the remaining townspeople. Asta, Gauche, and Sister Theresa fly off on their brooms toward the snowy mountains. Meanwhile, the captured children are held inside a cavern by sinister figures who discuss their magical potential and dismiss those lacking power.
