An SS-class ghost has shifted into a dangerous second phase, threatening Dragonia; others warn that if it's not stopped the nation will face disaster, and especially Zach will drag Lisa and Akex down with him. In the field, a prodigy of the Stones taunts the group while a boasting fighter—Zach—charges with a three-foot blade, claiming even gods bow. Others beg him to run, calling him blind and insane as he keeps posturing. Lisa coughs blood trying to protect him. The key turn: Zach's fear-driven recklessness replaces skill, leaving the team exposed and their fate unresolved as the ghost advances.
