Black Clover Chapter 279 Leaks: Tree of Qlipoth Spits Out Two High-Class New Devils!

The event that everyone has been dreading has finally taken place. The Tree of Qliphoth has opened, and it has left the mouths of our heroes hanging open as well.

You may already know what horrors await on the other side of the door, but Yuki Tabata has taken special care so that we feel the full effect of it.

Chapter 279 of Black Clover has enough potential to make chills run down our spine as the first of the devils enter the scene. However, that is not the only shock revealed in this chapter. So, get ready for the wild ride ahead!

Nacht’s New Devil Transformation:

As Jack and Dante’s battle was ongoing, suddenly Nacht, Fuegoleon, and Charlotte feel a weird sensation and tremor. Nacht calls upon one of his devils, Plumede, and transforms. The new form is known as Peris, and its unique power is clairvoyance.

With this power, Nacht detects the presence of a mana that does not belong to Yami or Vangeance.

Another Devil Host?

Nacht senses someone’s presence at the center of where the Tree of Qliphoth is supposed to be. He realizes that the mana belongs to Morris, who was kicked out of the Diamond kingdom and now works for the Dark Triad.

Just like Asta, and Nacht, Morris is also revealed to be devil-possessed. The devil’s power combined with his own genius helped him in extracting Lolopechka’s knowledge. However, the name of his devil is not revealed.

Morris uses this knowledge and acts as a catalyst for opening the Tree of Qliphoth.

The Arrival of Twin Devils:

Before Nacht could even think of getting rid of Morris, the gate to the underworld flings open. Two top-class devils enter the realm of the magic-knights.

The sheer force of their presence was enough to make Nacht, Dante, and Jack go flying on all sides. Both the devils look alike, almost as if they were twins. They also talk in an eerily synchronized manner.

However, the attitude of the devils does not seem like they will spare the Dark Triad. Both the devils spout, “Everything is interesting now.” Once the devils have entered the realm of humans, there is no guarantee about what they are going to do.

Since we already know about the nature of devils, it can be presumed that they will attack without any care for friend or foe. The biggest question at this stage is, where is Asta?

Asta’s anti-magic devil is the only solution to the ongoing madness, yet our hero is nowhere to be seen. Will he make his grand entrance soon, or can the captains handle it all on their own? Devils have a power-ranking system among them, and the first devils to enter are already at the top-class, which makes us wonder what else Tabata is hiding up his sleeve.
