A village's defense against trolls interrupts the journey toward Elfhelm in Berserk Volume 25. The publisher identifies a local witch and her disciple Schierke as part of the response, bringing magical assistance into the group's immediate problem. This begins Deluxe 9's collection of standard Volumes 25 through 27. Follow the preceding journey in sequence; the village mission is an interruption within it, not a replacement origin for the travelers.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Assistance does not guarantee control over the consequences of using it. PRH describes Schierke helping against the attackers, then a magical flood carrying Casca and Farnese away. The intervention answers one danger while creating another rescue problem. This is not the reason to buy the run in isolation: it is a diversion from the party's destination, with its own crisis still requiring continuation. Its distinction is the practical cost of a solution that changes the environment for everyone nearby. Greater power can remove an obstacle without preserving the position of the people being protected.
