Black Clover chapter 361: Lucius' masterplan brings him much closer to defeating Yuno

According to Black Clover chapter 361 raw scans and spoilers, the chapter picks up from where the previous chapter left, where Yuno was about to slash Lucius with the Spirit of Zephyr. Eventually, Yuno successfully slashed Lucius, and it seemed like Lucius was dead. But at that moment, another Lucius appeared behind Yuno instantaneously, leaving Yuno to wonder whether he was hallucinating or not. However, Yuno found out that the one he killed and the one that appeared again were both real.

This was a strategic move by Lucius Zogratis. The one that Yuno defeated was just a mere clone of Lucius, and after defeating it, several others appeared all over the Clover Kingdom, and all of them had the same power as the first one. Yuno was already devastated and exhausted from fighting the first clone of Lucius.

It was revealed that Lucius was waiting for Yuno to get exhausted, as Yuno was recognized as the strong one, and he was the only obstacle in the way of executing Lucius’s plan.

Furthermore, Lucius can clone himself with the same intense power, which indicates a severe threat to the Clover Kingdom. As long as Yuno’s Neverland is active, the clones cannot do any harm because Lucius cannot use Time Magic when Neverland is active. If Neverland fades away now, which is the most possible outcome, it will be a victory for Lucius, who will get to destroy everything.

The source of tension is that Yuno has been tired from the fight against Lucius’s clone. He had to use his ultimate magic, including Neverland, the Spirit of Zephyr, and the Spirit of Notus, just to take down one clone. Further, this could very well be Lucius' master plan to gain victory against Yuno even before the battle has begun.

Now that there is a whole army of clones with the same power, ready to attack in Black Clover chapter 361, it seems that Yuno and the magic knights of the Clover Kingdoms are doomed.
