Black Clover chapter 373, titled 'The Silva Siblings,' opened with Nebra Silva using her Mist Magic: Bewildering Forest of Mist to buy some time for the Silva siblings to come up with a strategy to defeat their mother.

Right after, Nozel Silva turned to his sister Noelle. Since her childhood, Noelle had extraordinary latent magic within her. However, she couldn't control it at the time and ran wild on numerous occasions. Due to such events, at some point in time, Noelle acquired the habit of unconsciously holding back on the spells she cast.

With that in mind, Nozel asked Noelle to pour all her magic and Leviathan's power into one attack. That was the only way they could win against their mother Paladin Acier Silva. Just as Noelle seemed doubtful about the plan, Acier appeared from within the mist to resume the fight.

Given their circumstance, Nozel entrusted his three siblings with the plan as he decided to purely focus on defending them using his new form, Mercury Magic: Silver Guardian. With that, Nozel started fighting her mother to buy his siblings time to prepare the magic spell.

Right after, Black Clover chapter 373 saw Solid and Nebra Silva stand on either side of Noelle as they asked her to charge up her magic without thinking anything about control or other complications.

The manga then gave fans a glimpse of the fight between Acier and Nozel, as while Nozel was able to keep up with her mother, his Mercury magic's poisonous attribute was getting the best of him. As for Solid and Nebra, their bodies had started reacting to Noelle's brutal magic spell. They were getting inflicted with injuries as Noelle kept charging up her magic spell.

Noelle was worried about Solid and Nebra but they asked her to keep charging her spell. This is because while the injuries were painful, they were nothing compared to what they had done to Noelle through the years. As Noelle kept charging her spell, she noticed her siblings getting hurt even more.

Just then, Nebra Silva revealed how much she loved her beautiful mother. But upon seeing that Noelle was the spitting image of her, she became jealous of her.

As for Solid Silva, he noticed how Noelle showed signs of incredible magic as a child. Given that he too had Water Magic, he hated that his younger sister had the potential to become stronger than him. Hence, he was relieved to learn that Noelle couldn't control her magic. He used this opportunity to mistreat her and plant fear in her so that she would never defy him.

Following these reveals, both Solid and Nebra Silva apologized to Noelle. The apology moved Noelle to tears as she accepted it and unleashed her magic spell against their mother.

Acier tried to counter it using her Water Magic spell but failed. As she got hit with the magic spell, Acier revealed that she was satisfied seeing her children all grown up and strong. They had taken the long route but had finally become a family. With that, Black Clover chapter 373 ended with Paladin Acier Silva's defeat.
