Wrath Dragon Arc

The Wrath Dragon Arc is the sixteenth arc of the Light Novel and the fourteenth arc of the Web Novel of The Rising of the Shield Hero.

Synopsis
Disaster ensures when Gaelion, a new baby dragon of Naofumi's village, swallows the dragon emperor core of an ancient, powerful dragon.

Summary
As the new dragon Gaelion grows up, Naofumi is forced to give the baby dragon attention otherwise it will cause mischief. One night, Gaelion ended up rummaging through Naofumi's things and ate the Demon Dragon Emperor dragon core which used to be part of Naofumi's armor. Almost immediately, Gaelion started running amok and was forced to fly out of the village. Many members of the village including Naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo, Sadeena, Eclair, Wyndia, Raph-chan and Atla came along. Somehow, the possessed dragon was also draining Filo's levels into its own and using Naofumi's Shield of Wrath to power it up.

Naofumi's party is forced to fight. The new demon dragon form is incredibly dangerous and nearly indestructible. However, Atla used her prodigious Hengen Muso skills to break through the Demon Dragon's barrier. As a team effort, the group was able to defeat the Demon Dragon. Gaelion and Filo were able to go back to normal except now the personality of Wyndia's father - the Zombie Dragon - now resides in Gaelion.
