What to expect from Black Clover chapter 357?

Black Clover chapter 357 will most likely see the continuation of the fight between Yuno and Lucius. After the latter started to consider the former as his natural rival, Yuno used his Spirit of Zephyr to cut off one of Lucius' antlers. Thus, the upcoming chapter could reveal the consequences of Yuno's actions and how they will affect Lucius's existence as a paladin.

While the chances of the manga focusing on that seem low, the fact that Mangaka Yuki Tabata decided to have Yuno disfigure Lucius so early during the fight just means that the event should have repercussions in the following chapters. Moreover, the Black Bulls and Asta are yet to arrive on the battlefield, meaning that a lot is yet to happen before the fight comes to an end.

Black Clover chapter 356, titled Neverland, saw the Magic Knights struggle against Lucius's guardian angels as none of their spells were effective against them. All of a sudden, Sol's spell became stronger, following which Sylph revealed how it was because of the culmination of her own Wind Magic and Yuno's Star Magic.

The spell was known as Star x Wind Spirit Magic: Neverland. It is a subspace within which Yuno can control the flow of magic and time, strengthening his allies and weakening his enemies.

Just then, Lucius tried to trap Yuno in a Time Magic Spell, however, time stood still in Neverland, defying Lucius's spell. Thus, the former believed Yuno to be his rival, however, the latter only considered Asta to be his rival and cut off one of Lucius's antlers using the Spirit of Zephyr.
