Berserk (v18)

Inside a valley of death and religious extremism, the hunt for the missing Casca turns into an absolute nightmare. In Berserk Volume 18, Guts arrives at the refugee camp outside the terrifying Tower of Retribution. The area is heavily patrolled by the fanatical Holy Iron Chain Knights and ruled with an iron fist by the sadistic inquisitor, Mozgus, who routinely tortures "heretics" in the name of God. Unbeknownst to Guts, a vulnerable and confused Casca is being protected by a band of local outcasts. However, her bleeding Brand begins attracting hordes of dark, body-snatching spirits right into the crowded refugee camp. With the fanatical inquisitors labeling Casca a witch and the dead rising around them, Guts must race against time to infiltrate the tower before his lover is burned at the stake. A tense, claustrophobic volume that perfectly captures the terrifying intersection of human cruelty and supernatural horror.
