'Berserk (2016)' Season 2 Episode 8: Can Guts and Crew Overcome the Corruption of Qliphoth in Next Episode?
Guts and his crew may be headed for the belly of the beast on the next episode of the dark fantasy anime series "Berserk (2016)."
The traveling troupe may have succeeded in defeating the monsters terrorizing the village of Enoch, but it also lost two of their members in the process. Although Schierke succeeded in putting up a wall of protection around the church that guarded the villagers against trolls, an ogre and a kelpie subsequently showed up and forced Guts and Serpico to take them on while Schierke tries to figure out what's going on.
In the end, Schierke called upon a water spirit to take over her body and thus help them get rid of the seemingly insurmountable monsters with a flood. But the flood also took Lady Farnese and Casca away, thus bringing the troupe to their next mission: find the two missing women's whereabouts.
