Forest of Atrocity

Gripping a felled tree sideways, Wyald swings it like a club and mows down the archers serving under Judeau, then wades into the panicked survivors and swallows them through the enormous maw that has opened across his midsection. Recognizing that the clash has tilted hopelessly out of their favor, Judeau signals the mercenaries to fall back. From the pit where his attendants are hauling him up for evacuation, Griffith spots Casca some distance off, weeping over the senseless Guts and shaking him in a vain effort to wake him.

With no protector left beside her, Casca becomes the beast's next prize. Wyald scoops her into one massive fist, tears away her armor and tunic, and uses the fleshy appendage protruding from his gut, a mutated form of his manhood, to strip off her trousers while savoring the prospect of assaulting her. Guts revives at that very instant and rams his blade clean through the writhing tongue, slicing it off. He presses the advantage by carving deep into the monster's arm, and the shock of the wound forces Wyald to release his captive.

Casca snatches up a weapon to join the fray, but Guts orders her clear of it. He hides his protectiveness behind a jab that her near nakedness would wreck his concentration, then confesses the real reason: the grudge he carries against the apostles is his alone to settle, and he means to deal with every last one of them personally. The installment belongs to the Golden Age Arc and first ran in Young Animal issue 17.
