An Iron Will is the fourth episode of the first Chronicles of the Heroic Knight manga and fourth episode of 38 episodes on the Chronicles of the Heroic Knight manga storyline.
Synopsis[]
Randy has become a host for a hydra, a large reptile-ish creature with many heads. Ryna asks what happened to Randy, but Greevus replies he's beyond saving and that in order to destroy the creature, the body of the host must be sacrificed.[1] Aldonova is too scared to fight, so Greevus uses Myrii's magic to grant him, and the rest of the party, courage.[2]
Spark assigns tasks to his party members, while he moves in for the attack. He finds an unconscious Randy, half-consumed by the hydra. An attack by the hydra causes Spark to lose his sword, but he then finds Greevus' halberd, which Greevus had lost after the hydra suddenly protruded from Randy, and uses that to kill Randy and thus the hydra. After the battle, Ryna asks Spark to take her with him.[3] Spark believes the dark elves may be heading for Hilt next.
