The Knight King Who Returned with a God tells the story of Leon, a knight who had been hunting demons in the wilderness for around 300 years till he finally comes back as the Grail Guardian of the Kingdom.
However, Leon does not come alone. He now comes with a Goddess who must be protected from the other demons in order to save their kingdom from destruction.
The Knight King Who Returned with a God Chapter 40 is expected to release next week, and fans are anticipating a new thrilling chapter! Previously, the manhwa ended with the first day of training given by Leon as well as bloodshed on the other part of the Kingdom.
Recap
Chapter 40 of The Knight King Who Returned with a God opens with a group of Mercenaries being countered by a Grail Knight after they had previously slaughtered six of the knights belonging to the Kingdom.
When the Grail Knight confornts them, the leader simply answers saying there had been a huge misunderstanding and that it was in fact the other knights who had instigated a fight, which led to the bloodshed and death.
The Grail Knight then scolds Dellian for his actions, which make the mercenaries believe they were let off the hook. However, almost immediately after, the Knight turns back to them and says that they must repay for the murder of the six Kingdom knights.
This repayment would only be accepted if six of them were beheaded in return. We then jump to another scene where Hari guides a bunch of young students ready to take on the training from Leon Lionheart and join the Knights.
When they reach the place, they immediately realise that the soldiers there are all tired and battered up from the intense training. There’s neither any medical facility or modern accessible areas, just barren land where everyone trains and practices.
When they reach the place, Hari immediately greets Leon, calling him “Your Majesty”, which confuses the rest of them. Leon calls the students to come forward and begin their training. Their first mission was to try and attack him. It was a 1 vs 40 battle where they were sure at least one of them would get a hit.
At first, they were cautious of their attacks and were hesitant, but when they experienced how strong Leon was, none of them held back their strength and gave their all. Despite their hard efforts, they still weren’t able to get a single scratch on Leon.
He tells them that they’re weaker than he had anticipated and must train much harder in order to become a knight. Leon further goes into detail explaining the different types of Knights, saying there are in total 5 types of them.
Out of all, the Grail Knights are the strongest, and from them, one is selected to become the Grail Guardian. Leon then reveals that he has the title and so, if anyone wanted to take that position, must fight him.
The chapter ends with one of the students asking how strong could a Grail Knight even be, and Leon answers that it is currently unfathomable to them on the strength. The manhwa then panels to the Grail Knight with the mercenaries, where all of them are found dead.
