Ost isn't the Spirit Tortoise's familiar, but the Spirit Tortoise itself?

Just think about it. It's obvious.

If she was a familiar, she'd be like those bats and abominable snowmen.

I'd be able to control her.

I'm surprised that this world's guardian beasts have this kind of feature.

But whatever.

Now, why don't I end this?

The Spirit Tortoise's head and heart have regenerated!

And now, it is time.

To march alongside you was my greatest joy, Your Majesty.

A barrier?!

In order to penetrate it, both the head and heart must be destroyed simultaneously.

It took enough souls to regenerate this fast?!

Or so you'd think!

Sir Itsuki!

These retards were so weak, but the Cardinal Weapons were the real deal.

So I turned them into an auxiliary power supply for the Spirit Tortoise!

I'm gonna milk 'em until they die!

You beast!

So anyway, time to resume the hunt.

This is your reward for coming this far!

You can watch as all of them get trampled!

Is that...

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

"Chase" Fitoria?

"Chase" What's she doing here?!

Um... Huh...

Apologies for my tardiness.

As the circumstances dictate...

...I shall assist the Shield Hero.

This benevolent animal...

I shall take the Spirit Tortoise's head.

Match your timing with mine and destroy its heart, she says.

She must have known that the Spirit Tortoise-that I could not fulfill my purpose.

I see.

Yeah, yeah. The Filolial Queen.

Well, I just keep you from getting to the heart-

Hey!

Where's the real heart?

Huh? Oh, kiddo?

L'Arc?

All these brute force tactics, one after another.

This is why I hate muscleheads!

I swear upon my Vassal Weapon to end your barbarism.

Huh?

You guys are gonna destroy this world anyway, right?

That's...

That's true...

Then isn't it better if I took every soul I could before that?

No problem, right?

Huge problem!

Our Vassal Weapons tell us not to let you do something so low!

Can't you hear yours say the same?

Unlike you, I'm not a slave to my Vassal Weapon.

I just use it when I want, and that's it!

Chapter One: Fire Bird!

Move!

And of course, I'm protected by the same barrier as the Spirit Tortoise's core.

Thanks to those three stooge heroes' power!

And it takes power to get the outside to play monster!

Sir Itsuki!

Damn!

It repeats the same attacks...

You are quite skilled.

All forces, withdraw.

But...

Queen Fitoria will not be able to fight so long as we are here.

Yes, good.

As far away as you can.

Shooting Star Shield!

First Slash: Wind Storm!

Hurry and destroy the head and heart to break the barrier, she says!

We know that!

Is that the secret?

Then we're gonna smash it right this time!

The path to the heart!

Like hell I'll let you go!

That's right. The Spirit Tortoise's specialty, gravity manipulation.

I don't want you to think I'm relying on those three stooges' powers, so I'll show you.

Isn't it beautiful?

This is the power of the souls that I used the Spirit Tortoise to collect!

Wow, so scary!

Don't be so mad! See?

After I kill them, I'll take all the souls in this world and go home!

Stop...

Stop at once!

No way! Never gonna!

Hey, come on.

Where's all the fight you had earlier?

Get up, or your lovely little friends are gonna be pancakes!

Master Naofumi...

Oh, but that'd be a waste.

I'll crush you flat then take them to my world.

You bast-

Stop that.

Take your foot off Master Naofumi!

She's crying!

The demi-human's crying! How cute!

None of this would've happened if you just killed the Spirit Tortoise's other half!

Big Shield Hero you are! Lame!

Stop!

Stop it!

Shut up, you damn chicklet!

You love this retard that much?!

Shut up and watch! He's gonna be a puddle in a minute!

Stop it!

Huh?

You coward!

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

Rishia?

Big Sister Rishia?

And who're you?

You were just standing around doing nothing, trying to blend into the walls a minute ago.

Annoying.

That's right. I can't do anything.

I'm an annoyance.

That's why I know.

Huh? Know what?

Wait, why can you walk?

You and I are the same.

Huh?!

You can only rely on others' powers.

You yourself have nothing.

You're nothing!

Watch what you're spewing!

You can't understand how awesome I am!

I know.

You're actually weak.

That's why you put on this act of being strong.

Like a small animal trying to intimidate a predator!

What?!

Rishia!

Oh, come on! You're nothing but talk!

Damn you!

Where the hell'd you go?!

I'm weak too.

Both in body and mind,

compared to Naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo, and Ost...

But I will never lose to someone like you.

Shut up...

Rishia... How is she...

Shield Hero...

I, the Spirit Tortoise,

command heaven and earth to break law and recombine, spitting up rot.

I grant you my power, the power of the Spirit Tortoise.

I, the Shield Hero, by the Spirit Tortoise,

command heaven and earth to break law and recombine, spitting up rot.

Dragon Vein, combine my power and the Heroes' powers.

As the source of your power, the Shield Hero commands you,

-Where'd you go?! -heed all of existence and grant them power.

All Liberation Aura!

The highest-level magic in this world?!

Now!

Thanks!

Filo! Go with them!

Okay!

Damn you!

Not on my watch-

The one you will fight...

...is me.

Damn you!

Huh? Why are you coming with us, Filo?

I can talk to Fitoria!

Fitoria? The Filolial Queen?

I see!

Master Naofumi, are you all right?

Yeah, I think so.

But look at her...

We had to borrow Ost's power to even try to move.

What's going on?

Only she could withstand that heavy gravity attack.

Is that what the old lady meant by being skilled at manipulating life force?

Damn you!

I told you. You rely completely on others' powers.

Your attacks are far too simple.

That's why even I can dodge them.

Oh, I see. Simple.

Thanks for the advice.

Now, I'll kill you with my simple attacks!

Book of Purgatory!

And you only tell lies.

You're so twisted that you always try to fool others.

I shouldn't have fought like an idiot! I should've done this from the start!

Taking hostages now is also what an idiot would do.

What?!

I do not want to forgive you, but if you surrender now, I will spare you.

Screw you, dammit!

I'd rather kill myself while killing you than do that!

Rishia hasn't just learned to manipulate life force...

She's like a different person.

Shield Hero.

I ask you once more. I beg you to kill me.

Okay, but...

Rishia is right.

Kyo Esnina only knows how to lie.

What do you mean?

Was the real heart this much of a pain?!

L'Arc, stop complaining! We need to destroy it now!

Fitoria says to hurry up too!

I know!

Is he going to use the souls he took?

If I dodge, the entire city will be annihilated.

A ritual spell?!

Fan lady!

What is this?

Master told me to take it with me!

Heh. That kiddo's good!

We move at once, Therese!

Yes.

Power of gems which fill this world...

Compound Formation!

So it is not enough.

No.

You have done well!

Now!

Shining Stones: Blizzard!

Compound Formation: Inverted Hail Seasons!

The barrier!

Damn!

Just kidding!

Huh?

Did you think I wouldn't have a backup plan in case this happened?

No...

It's an emergency measure using the souls' power to protect the core, but oh well!

As long as I can see you freaks writhing in despair-

Naofumi?!

Kyo Esnina only knows how to lie.

He must have another plan remaining.

When he reveals it...

destroy me, the other half of the core, with all of the power that you can muster.

Raphtalia, take care of everyone when I can't move anymore.

Yes.

My judgment upon this foolish sinner is to scream as a sacrifice to God!

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Idiot, no!

By the jaws of a dragon born from my flesh and blood...

No!

...be sacrificed in suffering...

...and...

I have no hatred to break upon you.

Oh, what the hell?!

You go this far and stop?! Crazy!

You'd even waste scythe dude's and fat chick's effort?!

Seriously?! You're kidding!

That is fine.

That is how the Shield Hero should be.

And now, the time for my remaining power to take shape in your shield.

"Unlocked - Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield"

Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield?

Ost! What did you do?!

No...

Don't...

Wait, no!

Don't!

Ost!

Big Sister Ost?!

Oh, man, now you've done it!

It's all gone up in smoke! Everything!

All the work I did, poof!

You...

Nah, I'm lying again.

I accomplished my real objective, so I'm good.

What does that mean?!

The souls that were in the core?

You think they'd go to heaven if you smashed the it?

Too bad! That didn't happen!

I put all the souls I needed into here!

And now, I'm gonna be going now.

That is...

Shield Hero!

And green-haired girl!

I'm gonna kill you both!

Enjoy life while you got it.

Why, you!

Damn!

Ost, why did you...

You weren't swallowed by rage and hate.

That's why the Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield was unlocked.

I don't understand. Explain it to me, please.

You don't need to use that frightening shield filled with hatred.

The Wrath Shield?

You feel sorrow for my death, the Spirit Tortoise that took the lives of so many.

You are full of kindness, Shield Hero. Please, never forget your kind heart.

No! No...

I'm not kind at all-

Kiddo!

It seems that this is connected to our world.

But it will close soon.

What remains is our work.

We shall defeat Kyo and return the stolen souls to this world.

Yeah. Just leave them to us.

See you.

"Caution - Summoned beings cannot enter other worlds"

What the hell?

Please go.

"Caution - Special exception for limited access granted"

Hurry, or it will close.

-Ost... -Big Sister Ost...

Raphtalia! Filo!

What are you doing? Let's go!

She asked us to do it! We can't leave it to that L'Arc!

Rishia, you stay with Itsuki-

No!

I'm your friend and Ost's too!

I will go with you!

Ah... Friends...

We were friends.

If I can be reborn, I pray I can be a true friend.

And I pray...

that where the Shield Hero's party goes...

great blessings will follow.
