8

When Naofumi and his party learn about a village that is afflicted by a mysterious disease, they venture over to learn more. After he treats the villagers, Naofumi learns that the disease began after Sword Hero Ren killed a dragon nearby and left the body to rot instead of properly disposing of it; since then monsters had gathered around its corpse. Certain it is the cause of the disease, Naofumi and party set out to the corpse, but discover it has turned into a zombie dragon. During their fight, the dragon swallows Filo, seemingly killing her, triggering Naofumi's despair and rage; this activates his cursed shield which repels the dragon's attacks with passive flames at the cost of Naofumi losing his composure. When Naofumi recovers, he realizes Raphtalia was burned trying to bring him to his senses. To their surprise Filo bursts out of the dragon's belly, taking with her the crystal that was keeping it alive. Filo finds another crystal and gives it to Naofumi, but his level isn't high enough to use the shield it unlocks. Back at the village, Naofumi learns Raphtalia's wounds from the cursed shield can only be cured with high grade Holy Water and regrets having put his companions in trouble, determined to make himself and his party stronger.
