Black Clover Gives Lucius a Powerful New Form

By Nick Valdez

Black Clover has kicked its final arc into high gear by revealing Lucius' powerful true form with the newest chapter of the series! The end of the Spade Kingdom Raid arc came to an end with the shocking reveal that the Dark Triad were not the ones to really look out for, but instead a fourth Zogratis sibling was revealed to be hiding in the Clover Kingdom all along. Not only that, but he was the strongest of the siblings made even stronger after Lucifero's defeat. Now the final arc has kicked off with Asta's first fight against this new enemy.

The previous chapter of the series saw Lucius making his move on Asta while interrupting a very emotional moment for the young potential Wizard King to be. It was here that Asta figured out that his anti-magic would be the only thing effective against the former Wizard King's time magic, and the newest chapter of the series saw them continue this first major confrontation. Unfortunately for Asta, Lucius had been holding back his true power and revealed to Asta his "true" form that combines all of the magical abilities within his body to form a new angelic like visage. Check it out below: 

Chapter 334 of Black Clover kicks off right after Asta challenges Lucius to a fight, and soon Asta reveals how much stronger he's come in the fifteen months since his fight with Lucifero. Unfortunately, Lucius is that much stronger as not only has he absorbed Lucifero's dark magic within his body, but he's also got the magic abilities of two different souls within his body. This has all merged into a new ability he has dubbed as "Soul Magic." He explains that while he was born into a family of devil hosts, he learned about magic that could purify the devil's powers. 

Noting that this new power could grant "sacred power" to humans, he unleashes this new form with a halo and angelic like wings. This notably rings close to Noelle Silva's brief use of the Saint Stage power with her Saint Valkyrie Dress transformation, so it really brings up a lot of questions about what kind of power Lucius is really wielding in this new form. At the very least, it's a power Asta won't be able to quickly overcome it heading into the manga's grand finale. 

How do you feel about Lucius' new form? What do you think it means for the rest of the magic powers and forms we have seen in the series so far?
