Nacht, the vice-captain of the Black Bulls, announces it is time for them to strike first and rescue Yami and Vangeance. "Black Clover" Chapter 264 is likely to revolve around building the elite force and training Asta for this mission.

In the last chapter, Yuno notices Asta has arrived in the conference hall with Nacht as other captains wonder who the intruder is.

Just when the captains prepare to launch an attack, Nacht calls forth four devils to stop them. Asta is surprised that Nacht possesses four devils. Nacht states he is qualified to be a part of the meeting.

Julius Novachrono mentions Nacht is the vice-captain of the Black Bulls. Julius reveals that Nacht has been working as a spy in the Spade Kingdom.

Nacht begins to explain the captains about Spade Kingdom’s intention to open a gate to the Underworld and to that end, preparations for the ritual of the emergence of Qliphoth are underway at Spade Castle.

He adds Yami and Vangeance will be the focus of the ritual as offerings. Nacht adds that from this point on, over seven days, seven gates will open gradually marking the advent of Qliphoth.

Inside the Qliphoth, there are ten devils in separate locations and the deeper the level, the stronger the devil. Nacht mentions the upper devils can be compared to the Dark Triad, while the lower devils are more powerful.

The vice-captain warns if the final devil named Lucifero awakens, the world is finished. Meanwhile, Yami and Vangeance will die after Lucifero emerges. Until the gates of Qliphoth are fully open, Yami and Vangeance will be alive.

During the chapter, Nacht confesses he cannot beat the Dark Triad as he is aware of his limits. He tells the captains he is taking Asta to make the ultimate warrior as Anti Magic holds the potential to defeat the devil.

"Black Clover" Chapter 264 is scheduled to release Sunday. Fans can read the digital copy of the manga chapter on Viz and Manga Plus.
