Easy way - just watch the video.
Hard way - You'll get text saying that the Holy Dragon is getting 'heavenly aid.' I guess
we have to be evil people then, huh? Anyway, it has an auto-Regan, and every
attack you do he counters with Curaga on itself. That heals about 6500 damage,
so you must do more than that per hit, or else you won't be able to beat him.
I suggest using the Soul of Thamasa and that Celestriad you have (unless you
have one equipped already) to spam out Quick-Ultima-4 Ultimas. That should
guarantee five 9999 hits. You can also cast Reflect on the Dragon to nullify
the Curaga. Ultima cuts through Reflect, so you don't have to worry about it
back-firing on you.

His normal attack hits for around 1000 damage. He has an attack called Saintly
Beam that does around 1000 damage to everyone. He has an attack called
Heavenly Wrath that is an instant kill. That's not what you need to worry
about though. What you need to worry about is his Heartless Angel attack.
That reduces your entire party's HP to 1. If he uses that then Saintly Beam,
it's game over. If he uses Heartless Angel before Quick spell is cast, use the
first one to heal with Curaga, then attack. With a little luck you'll kill him
quickly.

You'll get the Zanmato for your troubles.
