Four Knights of the Apocalypse Chapter 222 should be where Liones fully shifts from “bracing for impact” to “survive the impact.” Chapter 221 set the stage for chaos, with Camelot’s forces moving into position and the defenders preparing for a real confrontation. Below is the expected release timeline, where to read it officially, a Chapter 221 recap (rewritten), and the current spoiler status.

Four Knights of the Apocalypse Chapter 221 Recap
Chapter 221 picks up immediately after Camelot’s move toward Liones. The city’s defenders go into full response mode as the threat stops feeling distant and starts feeling unavoidable. The Seven Deadly Sins stand ready, and the Four Knights and their allies begin taking positions around key points, making it clear this is not going to be a small skirmish.
The chapter’s biggest purpose is escalation. It turns the “portal arrival” from the previous chapter into an active crisis, with Liones forced to react in real time. With Howzer, Gareth, and Percival’s group also in the mix, the story emphasizes that this fight is going to involve multiple fronts, not a single clean duel.
The final beats lean into the chapter title’s promise, with Liones slipping into disorder as the opening clashes start to spark and the castle atmosphere shifts into full-on war footing.
