Berserk (v16)

The fire burns hotter as the Holy See’s elite knights close in on the Black Swordsman. In Berserk Volume 16, the brutal battle in the Misty Valley reaches its explosive climax. After pushing his body to the absolute limit against the tragic Apostle Rosine, a severely wounded and exhausted Guts finds himself cornered by a new, human threat: the Holy Iron Chain Knights, led by the wealthy and fanatical noblewoman Farnese. Unable to shake the fanatical knights or the vengeful spirits that hunt him every night, Guts is captured. To survive his captivity, he is forced to use the terrified Farnese as a hostage, pulling her directly into his nightmare world where her rigid religious beliefs are shattered by the very real, terrifying monsters of the dark. A thrilling transition volume that introduces key new allies and escalates the tension of the Conviction Arc.
