Every person congregated in this place now desires, as one heart, salvation.Mozgus, atop the wall of Albion
The Holy See sends him to Albion with the Holy Iron Chain Knights as his guard and a band of torturers at his heels. He has questioned heretics by the hundred. To Mozgus, a single mole can be the mark of a witch.
Only the Holy See may speak for God. When a villager swears that God will punish him, Mozgus kills the man with his book of scripture, then calmly sends the rest to the breaking wheel.
Yet he is gentle with the poor, the sick and the deformed. His disciples were outcasts, sold to circuses or driven into the forest, until he took them in and told them God had need of them, and of their hatred too.
For ten years, day and night, he has bowed down a thousand times before the statue of the Holy See, slamming his body and face against the stone floor. That is why his face is flat.
His personal torturers and bodyguards, every one an outcast he rescued. When they die, he weeps tears of blood.
Villagers who ambush his caravan to avenge their dead are put to death on the breaking wheel. Then the procession moves on to Albion.
In the chapel atop the Tower of Conviction, he throws himself face down against the stone a thousand times a day, and calls the pain dear to him.
The dead pour up the tower. Cornered with his disciples, he welcomes it as a test of faith, and the Egg of the Perfect World stings them all.
Great white wings, and he flies. Over the refugees he calls them a miracle from God, and promises another once the witch is burned.
Guts runs him through, but the scripture tome took the blow. His robe falls away to a hide of stone-hard scales that even the Dragon Slayer cannot cut.
He throws his wings open, and every feather curls into a fist.
Guts refuses his salvation. Enraged, Mozgus looses the barrage.
A thousand fists at once. Guts can only raise the Dragon Slayer like a shield and be driven back across the wall.
But the wound Guts left in his chest was packed with lit bombs, and his own fire set them off. Burning, Mozgus seized the swordsman one last time and was thrown from the wall of Albion, without fear, glad to be going to meet his God.
Vol. 21 · Tsunami of DarknessA stone-hard hide of scales over his whole body that no weapon can pierce, the Dragon Slayer included. Only the old wound in his chest leaves a crack.
Every feather of both wings turns into a fist, and all of them pound the enemy at once, again and again.
Large white wings that let him fly over Albion, and later work as a second pair of arms.
He breathes fire that burns up anything it touches. The flames come from his chest, which turns out to matter.
He crushes his enemies between his wings.
Villagers ambush his caravan to avenge their dead. He kills one with his scripture tome and sends the rest to the wheel.
He takes refugees into the Tower of Conviction and makes Farnese watch the torture chamber. The thousand prostrations; the parable he tells Farnese.
He finds the Brand on Casca and calls it the mark of a witch. The iron maiden bursts open and the blood of the dead floods the tower.
Stung by the Egg of the Perfect World, he and his disciples become pseudo-apostles. He flies over Albion and orders the pyre built.
Fully transformed, he nearly kills Guts with the Thousand-Strike Cannon, demanding that he repent.
Bombs in the crack of his chest, a blade driven through, and a fall from the wall of Albion. His burning body keeps some refugees alive through the night.
Deep in Casca's mind, Farnese uses a washing-stone with his face, and summons his head to fight her way down.
He felt no fear and no guilt. Only joy that he would soon be with God.
