The mandatory action done in this episode (precisely in the sub-episode "89-9") is reaching the hidden cap of 9999 dragons killed. This episode is just a presentation and the actual playing sessions are contained in the sub-episodes of which the links are below (total playing time is around 20 hours and 5 minutes; note that each sub-episode contains timecodes for all dragons killed; note that the sub-episode "89-9" contains extra dragons killed to compensate for possible errors in tracking previous dragons killed):

Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* The defensive/survival requirements consist of not activating Auto-Regen, because one of the monsters that can be encountered, namely Dracozombie, can inflict the Zombie status, which reverts the effect of Regen, and activating Antibody to be guarded against Worm Hydra's Venom Breath. I activated also Restore HP, so I will not have to heal manually with Tent from time to time, since Restore HP heals automatically with half the max HP if surviving after receiving damage while in critical HP.
* The offensive ordered requirements are the following:
- Ensuring that the characters will always kill the enemies in one hit of the Attack command (this requires in my case attacking with Zidane and Freya only, placing the two characters in the front row and activating their Accuracy+, equipping Freya with a powerful weapon and activating her Dragon Killer, and equipping Zidane with the Ultima Weapon or raising his Strength to at least 80 if equipped with the Orichalcon.
- A quickness optimization consisting of optimizing Speed (in my case 44 for Zidane and 34 for Freya considering the previous requirements) and activating Alert and Initiative (the two latter support abilities are effective against Serpions only), then prioritizing the usage of Orichalcon over Ultima Weapon (daggers have a slightly quicker animation than thief swords).
* The purpose of Quina's presence in the team is gaining more Gils from battles thanks to Millionaire (items maximization has not been achieved yet).
* Taking into account my conditions of playing (Zidane and Freya as the only attackers due to Steiner and Amarant being at level 1, not optimized Speed, and using the original hardware), it seems 80-85 is the average number of dragons that are killed per hour.
* The complete taks of killing dragons farming (started with less than 100 dragons killed) lasted 122 hours of playing.
