The Tower of Conviction
Guts kills some Kushan scouts while passing through to St. Albion, and ends up being followed by the red-haired youth Isidro out of admiration. In Albion, with the surrounding refugee camp in utter disarray from the starved and over-populated masses, Mozgus begins his task in the Tower of Convinction where "sinful" beggars are tortured. Meanwhile, Luca divides earnings from her client Jerome among her fellows. Calling Casca "Elaine" while presenting her as her bandaged and diseased sister for her well being, Luca entrusts the girl to her fellow Nina, who is treating her own disease, while she fetches water. At nightfall, as Casca's brand attracted spiritually-animated corpses near the bank that Nina is fetching water from, Guts and Isidro are ambushed by the wheel-bound corpses of Mozgus's victims.
