Leon’s Divine Retribution in The Knight King Who Returned with a God Chapter 173 (Recap)

- The Grand Subjugation: In the previous chapter, Leon and his incredibly loyal entourage – including his much-loved holy knights and newly-conquered subjects – entered the heart of a massive and highly corrupted gate.
- Ignoring the Meta: Again, the modern hunters who were with him tried to plan and to fret about how the dungeon works, but Leon simply disregarded them and galloped off on his divine steed believing only in the protection given by the goddess.
- The Demonic Threat: The demonic entity in the core of the gate was a high-ranking being that was also being manipulated from within and had been laughing at the modern hunters’ efforts to get rid of it.
- The Cliffhanger: Leon then easily broke through the demon’s impenetrable protection by striking it with his own captured, god-like sword, stating that there will be no peace with the wicked. In an instant the demon’s sneering expression was replaced by a fearful one.
Purging the Wicked in The Knight King Who Returned with a God Chapter 174 (Spoilers)

- No Mercy for Demons: The scene switches to the next chapter (174) where Leon is performing the act of killing the demonic boss. Unlike other protagonists that might think twice or try to gather information, Leon will remain that same guy and will totally destroy the entity in the interest of his goddess.
- The Loot & The Goddess: Once Leon passes through the gate, he’ll give the core and the awarded seeds to the goddess. Another wildly desperate response from the goddess, who is always trying to get a handle on Leon’s consuming passion, is to be expected.
- The Hunters’ Awe: Once again the modern hunters who saw the execution will be left speechless, as the Knight King’s power scale is beyond their world’s own.
- A New Heresy: The chapter will end with the return of Leon to the modern world, where he immediately smells the pungent odor of another demonic cult – but his next victim to take his campaign.

Synopsis

Leon Dragonia Lionheart was the ultimate, uncompromising Knight King of the Lionheart Kingdom, a man who lived and died strictly by the holy codes of chivalry and his absolute devotion to his goddess. After finally defeating the demonic forces in his world, he is unexpectedly transported back to modern-day Earth—a world now overrun by gates, monsters, and hunters who only care about money and fame. Armed with the power of a god, a fiercely loyal supernatural retinue, and a completely archaic sense of honor, the Knight King sets out to purge this modern world of corruption, treating arrogant hunters and terrifying monsters alike as simple heretics in need of divine punishment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Leon flat out refuse to follow the rules of the modern Hunter Association?
The Lionheart Kingdom is under absolute rule of its King Leon, who is also a chosen holy warrior. To him it is the same as giving up his royal authority and insulting his goddess to submit to a new, secular, bureaucratic system of organization, such as the Hunter Association. He considers their laws to be totally subject to his own divine code of chivalry.
What is the true identity of the “God” Leon brought back with him to Earth?
The entity is his dream Goddess of Light. She’s not a frightening, remote god but one who is always pushed to his limits, and has to endure Leon’s extreme, oftentimes borderline unmanageable devotion levels, all while being a comedic foil to his ruthless crusader persona.
