They learn about the village's history and its connection to the Hero's Sword, a legendary weapon said to only be drawable by a true hero. The village chief, a young man, welcomes them and explains that the village is currently under attack by monsters, particularly the Lord of the Mountains.
Frieren and her companions agree to help exterminate the monsters. Near a cave, they encounter numerous monsters and confront the Lord of the Mountains.
