Into a tavern walks a man with a massive sword, where he encounters a caged elf being bullied by grown men. Thus begins the strange partnership between the elf, Puck, and the swordsman, Guts.

Guts is still coming to terms with his fateful encounter with the monk and his daughter when he is confronted by the Holy Iron Chain Knights. Their commander berates him about his many sins is declares he is to be brought to the Holy See...

Guts and Puck are taken aback by Farnese's inability to see the elf. However, Farnese's refusal to accept anything beyond what she considers to be real in her world is about to be sorely tested.

Guts returns to a place he'd left two years ago to reconnect with old friends, but finds that someone he holds most dear has vanished. Guts tries to lay blame, but he is not entirely innocent.

Intent on finding Casca, Guts continues his journey toward the Tower of Conviction. Meanwhile, Farnese is already there, witnessing unspeakable horrors committed by those who serve the Holy See.

Guts is finally close to finding Casca, but Casca has caught the heretics' eye, and the Holy Iron Chain Knights are also homing in on the heretics' location...

Guts battles two powerful opponents. Isidro and Casca make an escape.

Casca unveils her hidden powers, which attracts the attention of Mozgus. Guts is nearing Casca, and Luca meets a new entity.

Luca learned all about the strange, egg-shaped demon, while Guts fought against Mozgus' followers.

Guts is approaching Mozgus, while the strange blob is approaching the castle.

While the daylight is nearby, Guts and the crew have to defend themselves from the strange blob creatures. Nina runs into Luca.
