Four Knights of the Apocalypse Chapter 248 will reveal the first consequences of Lancelot’s contract with Cath Palug. Cath could not defeat him through strength, so the monster used Guinevere to force Lancelot into accepting its Chaos and evil will.
The next chapter carries the ominous teaser “The Worst Scenario Possible.” Lancelot has already told the Four Knights to stop him, even if that means killing him.

What Happened in Four Knights Chapter 247?
Chapter 247 revealed why Cath Palug captured Guinevere.
Cath knew that even its restored Chaos power could not guarantee victory against Lancelot. Instead of challenging him directly, the monster gambled on his feelings for Guinevere.
Cath threatened to tear Guinevere apart if anyone attempted to intervene.
Lancelot responded by ordering Gawain to remain still. He then offered his own life in exchange for Guinevere’s freedom.
However, Cath did not want him dead.
The monster wanted Lancelot to accept a contract. Under its terms, he would willingly receive Cath’s Chaos power and evil will. In return, Cath promised that Guinevere would not suffer further harm.
Guinevere urged Lancelot to refuse.
She reminded him that Cath had already killed her parents, destroyed her homeland, and taken away the people she loved. Guinevere did not believe one life justified risking the entire world.
She asked Lancelot to defeat Cath, protect everyone important to him, and remember her afterward.
Lancelot still accepted the contract.
Cath celebrated because its gamble had worked. The monster believed it could turn the world’s strongest person into its most dangerous enemy.
Before the transformation began, Lancelot told Tristan and Percival to stop him. He instructed Gawain to force them into action if they hesitated.
Galahad rejected the idea of killing his father and insisted that another solution must exist.
Read our Four Knights of the Apocalypse Chapter 247 spoilers and recap for the complete summary.
What Will Cath’s Contract Do to Lancelot?
Chapter 247 did not explain the contract’s exact rules.
Cath may take direct control of Lancelot’s body. However, the monster could also corrupt his decisions while leaving him aware of his actions.
The requirement for consent matters.
Cath could not simply force its Chaos into Lancelot. It needed him to willingly accept the agreement, which suggests the contract follows strict magical conditions.
That may also create a weakness.
If Cath must obey every part of the deal, Guinevere should remain protected. Lancelot or his allies may eventually use the contract’s wording against the monster.
For now, Cath believes it has gained the perfect vessel.
Can the Four Knights Stop Lancelot?
Percival, Tristan, and Gawain may need to fight Lancelot before they can search for a cure.
That challenge would be brutal even without Cath’s power. Lancelot already ranks among the strongest fighters in the series and defeated Galahad once Anne’s magic stopped restricting him.
Chaos could make his strength much harder to contain.
Percival’s life magic may offer one possible solution. His abilities have restored lives, healed damage, and reacted to forces that normal magic cannot handle.
Tristan may also try to separate Cath’s darkness from Lancelot through his mixed goddess and demon powers.
Gawain will likely take Lancelot’s instructions seriously. He specifically trusted her to keep Percival and Tristan focused if their emotions prevented them from acting.
Galahad represents another complication. He has only just accepted Lancelot as his father, and he refuses to believe killing him is the only answer.
What Does “The Worst Scenario Possible” Mean?
The Chapter 248 teaser likely refers to Cath gaining control over Lancelot.
Still, another possibility exists. Lancelot could retain control while Cath’s Chaos changes his body or magic, forcing him to fight the corruption from within.
Guinevere’s safety also remains uncertain.
Cath promised not to harm her after the contract formed. That promise may protect her from Cath directly, but it may not guarantee freedom or protect her from other dangers.
The next chapter should clarify whether Cath releases Guinevere and how quickly the contract affects Lancelot.
