Compound Magic, Seal Magic, and Transformation Magic are some of his other abilities.

8. Liebe
He is among the low-ranking devils in the Black Clover present in the former grimoire of Licht that is with Asta and is the source of his anti-magic.
Using the anti-magic, he can cancel the effect of others’ magic and even manipulate the swords.
One thing about this devil that makes it enter among the strongest Black Clover villains is that it despises even the devils, making it unpredictable.
It also does not possess any magic power, which makes it easy for him to travel between the living world and the underworld. This interesting ability even the high-ranking devils do not own.
7. Witch Queen
Witch Queen is the mother of all the witches and rules the Witche’s Forest in Black Clover.
It bears magic powers comparable to elves, so much so that it can sense any mana in its surroundings and can entirely cover the Witche’s Forest. She can also control the birds to catch people.

4. Zenon Zogratis
Zenon Zogratis is a host of the Beelzebub and is among the Zogratis siblings to be a member of the Dark Triad of the Spade Kingdom.
Since it is a devil host, it bears tremendous magic power that can be clearly justified when it easily defeats the army of the Diamond Kingdom.
This devil-possessed attribute of his makes him the owner of great power, and he can use both his Bone Magic to make and manipulate his own bones and Beelzebub’s Spatial Magic to manipulate space.
He is definitely one of the unique characters in manga and anime.
3. Dante Zogratis
Dante Zogratis is the host of Lucifero and a member of the Dark Triad of Spade Kingdom.
He is among the strongest antagonists of the anime series, and owing to his manipulative and toxic nature added to the superpowers he inherits. It becomes hard to defeat him.

Along with his Body Magic, he can also use the Gravity Magic of Lucifero as he is devil possessed.
To further add to it, his ability to use up to 80% of Lucifero’s powers makes him immensely powerful and undefeatable.
2. Vanica Zogratis
This Zogratis sibling is part of Spade Kingdom’s Dark Triad and is the host of Megicula. The devil is the one that has imposed curses on Princess Lolopechka and Acier Silva.
It uses the Curse-Warding Magic to create some powerful curses that bear the ability to weaken the enemy’s spells.
As the devil has control of the soul of Acier Silva, it can use its Steel Magic to manipulate steel. And similarly, since it has Vanica’s soul under its control, it can use its Blood Magic to manipulate blood.
Megicula owns immense magic power and is tremendously strong that it cannot even be killed by a zero-ranked mage of the Heart Kingdom.
1. Lucifero
Now we come to the most powerful evil character in the Black Clover animated series.
And we know you will also agree with us. It is the highest-ranking devil among the three rulers of the underworld, along with Megicula and Zenon’s Devil.
Spade Kingdom’s Dark Triad member Dante Zogratis and the magic scholar Moris Libardirt act as his host.
He uses Gravity magic to manipulate gravity which makes even the strongest characters collapse in front of him.
Lucifero bears great magic power, speed, strength, and durability that can destroy the world and happens to be connected to the Tree of Qliphoth. He can even possess the devils no matter where they might be present.
That’s all with the list of villains from Black Clover who can act as powerful antagonists, much more than the protagonists, and undoubtedly have a considerable fan base equalling the latter.
