Death Ruler and Berserker

Death Ruler and Berserker is a collaboration game event in Mass for the Dead with characters from Overlord and Berserk. It was released on May 1, 2020 to May 15, 2020.

Background
Upon realizing it, Guts and Schierke were in the dark. A world different from the World-a chaotic area. There is a path to the lower levels here, and only the enemy.

Incident
Guts and Schierke find themselves in a strange new world. Several Chaos Beasts led by a Warrior Chaos Beast emerge from the shadows and attack. Guts manages to dispatch them but soon the two see a familiar figure, Zodd who declares his intention to devour Guts. The two warriors clash and after Guts defeats the demon, realizes that 'Zod' was an illusion as he vanished on the spot after being defeated. Schierke wonders perhaps they are somewhere in the Abyss and perhaps what he fought was just a phantom from his memory. The two continue on in their journey through the alien surroundings when another figure emerges, revealing it to be Griffith. Guts much wiser sees that she is not real like the 'Zodd'.

The Griffith illusion prepares to fight seeing he is not fooled. He struggles with he and succumbs to his dark side and dons the Berserker Armor and defeats the illusion. His victory comes at a cost as he is struggling with his sanity. Just at the two leave the area, new figures emerge from the mists: Momonga, Demiurge, Cocytus and a troop of Skeleton Warriors. Momonga seemingly notices the pair pauses his party. Thinking that they are more enemies, Guts orders Schierke to run as he charges at strangers. Demiurge shifts into his Imp form and Cocytus takes the first blow from the mercenary. He counters with an attack of his own. The two engage in a sword fight, but are interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Skull Knight who comes to his aid. Guts surprised by Skull Knight's appearance is ordered by the latter to concentrate on escaping the place first. Momonga thinking that they are threats pushes on the attack. Guts, Skull Knight and Schierke however both manage to flee on Skull Knight's mount. Rather than pursue them, Momonga orders his subject to stay their hand as he sees that Skull Knight is not an opponent they want to fight.

Aftermath
In the Physical World, Skull Knight has brought his two allies safely back. The knight leaves without a word, leaving Guts confused on what actually happened. Schierke though says they should head back to their base which he agrees. Walking back, Guts wonders what those monsters were that he faced in that strange world were.
