Fighting past Zodd to reach Griffith, Guts falters at the sight of his enemy cradling the unconscious Casca. Then Danan's dread warning comes true as Elfhelm's sacred cherry tree scatters and the ground of Skellig itself begins to give way.
Summary
Trading blows with Zodd while fixed on reaching Griffith, Guts turns aside the apostle's attack and slips past him. Griffith, meanwhile, moves toward the unconscious Casca in the care of Schierke and Farnese. As he kneels and reaches for her, a furious Guts lunges to cut him down but freezes his blade just above Griffith's shoulder, halted by the sight of Griffith gathering Casca into his arms.
Across Elfhelm, Danan rests with Isidro, Isma, and Serpico after long hours of brownie work when she suddenly buckles in pain, sensing a flood surging up from deep underground.
Key Events
The petals of Elfhelm's great cherry tree blow apart and disappear, and the land of Skellig starts to cave in. The collapsing ground throws Guts off balance and tears him away from Griffith and Casca. Seizing the moment, Griffith lifts Casca and holds her close as disaster overtakes Elfhelm.

The chapter ran in issue fourteen of Young Animal and continues the Elf Island Chapter of the Fantasia Arc.
