Chapter 1142 Summary
Short Summary:
As monsters from the Underworld are attacking the school, Saul and the principal fight them off, everyone watches as the children are being lured away with sleepwalking via one of Gunko's arrows as more monsters show up forcing the horn to warn the country to be blown. Meanwhile, Loki reveals he still has some power and demands the final chain be undone, claiming he wants to save Elbaph as he sets fire near Treasure Tree Adam. As Ange reveals an earlier incident, it is revealed that Killingham of the Knights of God is responsible for these events by exploiting the children's fears.
Detailed Summary
The children at Walrus School start calling the teachers for help, as a giant snake called Jormundgandr has appeared and has started tearing up the school. The math teacher, Blade, tells the teachers in the faculty room that a giant snake supposedly from the Underworld has somehow appeared in the Sun World. The school's principle, Kiba, says they need to call the chiefs, but Ange asks who will protect the children in the meantime. Kiba ends up running out and attacking the Jormundgandr with his hammer, while Saul runs along a branch above the beast and delivers the finishing blow.
The children are amazed to see that the rumors of Kiba being a former warrior is true, while others marvel at how strong Saul is. Robin and Chopper, who came with Saul, are surprised to see a serpent so large just as someone yells that the gym teacher, Wolf, has been badly hurt. They ask Wolf what happened to him, but he is more concerned about the children, while other one reveals that some have wandered off somewhere. Saul starts running after the children, but Wolf warns him not to touch them as he learns they are heading to the beach, but for some reason they are all sleepwalking, following one of Gunko's arrows. The teachers decide to blow the horn and warn the entire country, but Saul fears that would be too much, only for Kiba to show him something in the forest, which are giant monsters, prompting the horn to be blared. Ange then tells Saul that the children are passing out one at a time, so Chopper decides to take a look at them.
In the Underworld, Loki tells the Straw Hats that just because they left one Seastone shackle attached to him, it does not mean he is without power. He threatens them to undo the last shackle or he will destroy Elbaph. To demonstrate his power, Loki hits the tree with Ragnir, bringing down a lightning bolt that starts a fire on the south side of the island. The giants partying are informed of this and immediately move to extinguish the fire.
Back at the Walrus School, Ange tells Saul she recognizes the monsters they saw; earlier today, she gave the children an assignment to draw what they fear the most. Some children drew Loki because they fear he will destroy the world, while others drew Nika for the same reason. Others drew the wolf Fenrir, storms, ghosts, and Jormundgandr to name a few, and one of the children, Ylva, tells Ange she will have nightmares if she keeps thinking scary things. Ange apologizes but is impressed by the level of creativity and imagination that the children displayed with the assignment. In the present, Ange explains that the monsters are what the children drew and represents their fears, which they do not think is possible, yet here they stand witnessing a child's worst nightmare.
Above the tree, the Knights of God observe the events, with the exception of Shamrock. Killingham, who was somehow responsible for creating the creatures, says the time limit for them existing is the amount of time it will take for the kids to reach the ship, and he asks if the others will find out the truth by then. Sommers says to know love is to wound someone else, and he asks Gunko what she fears the most, to which she responds she fears Nika the most.
