Head Lopper, Vol. 2: Head Lopper and the Crimson Tower

Following his adventure on the island of Barra, Norgal, also known as the Head Lopper, had secured a boat and a crew for himself, the talking and conscious head of the witch Agatha, Zhaania, of the Kota, and her apprentice Xho, who was to be sold as a slave to the witches of Barra. Norgal accompanies Zhaannia and Xho to the Crimson Tower, a large structure in the jungle where the best warriors are invited every year to participate in a challenge organized by the necromancer Ulrich, the Twice Damned and master of horrors in the tower. Zhaannia is searching for her mother, who came to the Crimson Tower the last time to save the Kota village from Ulrich's depradations.

Joined by a hero of the local Fonda Leaf people, the group enters the tower, only to be confronted by deadly traps and warriors. Ulrich is thrilled that Agatha's head is in, as he wishes to add it to his collection. Navigating the challenges will be hard, but at the end stands Berserk, Ulrich's best creation and ultimate defender of the Crimson Tower. Can Norgal and his friends defeat the necromancer and rescue Zhaannia's mother and sisters?
