Record of Ragnarok, Volume 16 – Story Details

Chapters Included: Full Volume 16 (Chapters 75–79)
Story Arc: Ragnarok – Round 9: Leonidas vs. Apollo (Conclusion)

Key Events:

• Round 9 continues with Apollo in his Solar Corona form – a walking sun that melts the very ground.

• Leonidas' shield begins to warp under the heat – but he does not drop it. Spartans do not retreat.

• Apollo rains down Helios Rain – thousands of light arrows that turn the battlefield into a burning forest.

• Leonidas uses his melting shield as a weapon – hurling molten bronze at Apollo's face.

• A flashback reveals the true story of Thermopylae: Leonidas knew he would die. He sent most of his army away. He stayed with 300 because one king is worth 10,000 cowards.

• Apollo's past deepens: he was once a mortal who achieved godhood through impossible trials – including being skinned alive and rebuilding himself.

• Apollo admits: "I do not fight because I hate you. I fight because you are the most beautiful human I have ever seen."

• Leonidas laughs: "Then watch a Spartan's beauty up close."

• Leonidas activates his ultimate technique: Shield of the Fallen 300 – each of his 300 Spartans lends their spirit to his shield, making it unbreakable one final time.

• The two clash in a blinding exchange – fist against shield, sun against bronze, god against king.

• Apollo lands a killing blow through Leonidas' chest – but Leonidas grabs Apollo's arm and headbutts him.

• Leonidas falls – but standing. Even in death, he does not kneel.

• The result is announced: Apollo wins. But the gods do not cheer.

• Apollo, tears streaming down his beautiful face, kneels before Leonidas' body and whispers: "You were the most glorious of us all."

• The 300 Spartans in the audience raise their spears in salute – not mourning a loss, but celebrating their king.

• A post-battle scene shows Brunhilde's expression growing darker. Ragnarok is nearing its end.

• The fighters for Round 10 are revealed – including a name that makes even Zeus nervous: Susano'o no Mikoto, the God of Storms.

Key Features of This Volume

• Complete, glorious conclusion of Leonidas vs. Apollo – a defeat that feels like victory.
