Reporting.

The scouts report that the Spirit Tortoise has resumed activity.

The Shield Hero's party, the Hycasian dragon-mounted battalion,

and the Melromarcan cavalry battalion have started their march.

Order Rohillot's siege units and Kingdom of Reiki's demolition units

to assume their positions.

As you command.

I will assume command of the demolition units.

We wish you luck.

You were the Queen's aide-de-camp.

What do you want?

I must say, I bear a message for the Shield Hero.

You…

You're Melty's Shadow.

Shouldn't you be with her?

Princess Melty has requested that I assist you.

I see.

Sir Iwatani!

Then as we planned?

Yes.

You're our only swordsmanship instructor.

You'd better not lead the charge and die.

I should ask the same of you.

Then may we meet on the battlefield.

Raphtalia, can you help me?

Yes!

Hey, come on. Let's go!

Battalion!

Company!

-Company! -Company!

Draw!

-Draw! -Draw!

Shields!

Forward!

-Is that… -What?

Oh, my! Look! That flag!

-It's the Hero! -The Shield Hero!

-Hero! -Shield Hero!

-Shield Hero! -We are in your hands!

I am no match for you.

Raising the troops' morale with only a flag…

I see.

Is that why you raised that flag?

That's only one part.

Soon, the flag will signal where on the battlefield to avoid.

Because we're going to lure those over soon.

What?

Rishia.

Yes!

All right.

Let's do this!

Filo!

Okay!

Hate Reaction!

It's working!

For now, at least.

Kick it, Filo! Don't let them catch up!

That's easy!

We are in your hands, Sir Iwatani.

Do not disrupt the formation! We will now lead the Spirit Tortoise!

-Yes! -Yes!

Make haste!

It's here!

Single column!

-Single column! -Single column!

-Single column! -Single column!

Prepare to shoot!

Master Naofumi!

Looks like they managed to lead it there.

We can't run any farther!

Damn! Filo, stop!

We'll take out all the familiars here!

-Okay! -Yes!

All of them?

We might be taken out instead.

Disciple Rishia, prepare yourself!

Yes!

I, Ost Horai, command heaven and earth

to break law and recombine, spitting up rot!

What?

My powers, elevate the gravity of those before me!

Gravitic enhancement…

Settle!

Is this…

Is she manipulating gravity?

I've never heard of an incantation like that before.

Only a few monsters can use this spell.

Now! Hurry!

Raphtalia! Filo!

Rishia! Old lady!

-Okay! -Yes!

Release!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Ying Yang Blade!

Hengen Muso Secret Technique: Crescent Moon!

Drifa Tornado!

They're amazing!

But they keep popping up faster than we can kill them.

I must report.

The Spirit Tortoise continues its march. The siege weapons have no effect.

However, the siege units continue their assault without retreat.

Focus on its front right leg!

Take out at least one leg!

Right leg!

Focus assault on its right leg!

Fire!

The siege units have lost half of their numbers.

What about the fortress?

Preparations are complete, and the demolition units have withdrawn.

Only the general of the Kingdom of Reiki's forces remains.

What?

No need to panic, Spirit Tortoise.

I will now put you to rest.

A signal from another Shadow.

The detonation of the fortress has stopped the Spirit Tortoise's march.

The general of the Kingdom of Reiki

shared his fate with the collapsing fortress.

I see.

Now we just need to cut off its head.

It will be impossible for me to do it.

Perhaps if those two disciples had perfectly mastered my Hengen Muso Style…

What is that?

Oh, these are records that Her Majesty found before we started the operation.

If I remember…

Oh, this! This is it!

This is…

Ost! What's wrong?

For now, let's get closer and--

Naofumi!

What?

The Spirit Tortoise is still dangerous even if it can't move!

What?

It may be because we're closer to the body,

but information is entering my body.

When the Spirit Tortoise is no longer able to collect human souls

by trampling them…

What are those?

…it will begin attacking them from afar.

What's that?

No way…

It's dangerous. Order them to retreat!

Everyone! Get away now!

This is ridiculous! Is it that hungry?

It's clearly trying to collect more souls than it needs.

The one controlling the Spirit Tortoise must be doing it.

Shooting Star Shield!

Thank you.

This is just torture!

I'll have to do it.

Everyone, get in the cart!

-Yes! -Yes!

And…

Shadow!

At your service.

An immediate message for the Queen at the base of operations.

What do we do now?

Sir Iwatani, what are you…

We shall now charge the Spirit Tortoise!

Lady Eclair! That would be suicide!

Look!

Those spines have not fallen by the Spirit Tortoise's feet.

It must be to avoid falling victim to its own spines.

But the troops we'll lose--

Everything in the area is within its range.

If we withdraw now while out of battle formation,

we shall all certainly die!

Follow the Shield Hero!

Charge! Forward!

-Charge! -Charge!

The Spirit Tortoise has halted its march,

but it continues to launch spines from its shell towards us!

We suffer from serious losses!

A report!

The remaining forces have initiated a charge at the Spirit Tortoise

under the Shield Hero's orders!

That fool! What is he thinking?

Sir Iwatani surely has a plan in mind.

A message from the Shield Hero to command!

"Entering phase two of the plan."

End of message.

So that is the only path forward?

Order the Medeus Kingdom's mage order to prepare for the ritual spell.

Initiate the incantation as soon as possible!

Do not crowd together!

If you group together, you'll be killed together!

Pull yourself together. Hang in there!

The ritual spell? You don't mean…

Yes. Our last resort.

It's a heavy burden on the mages, so it can only be used once,

but it will blow out the Spirit Tortoise's legs like a landmine.

-Even if it isn't a fatal blow… -…we united our wills here.

…dropping the Spirit Tortoise into the resulting hole can stop it?

Yes.

It's huge, so it might only fall forward,

but we use that same moment to cut off its head.

That seems like the wisest plan.

Are you sure about this?

If we defeat the Spirit Tortoise, you'll…

I don't mind.

That is why I requested your assistance.

Master Naofumi! Something's coming!

What?

What's that thing?

A parasite?

A familiar Frankenstein?

Damn! We're this close to it!

I can stop a familiar.

You…

What are you doing?

We'll handle this! Hero, take the Spirit Tortoise!

Thanks! It's yours!

Yes!

You are…

Hurry, Filo!

Roger!

I command you, heed my law,

and unleash the lightning of judgment!

Master Naofumi, was that…

Yes. Judgment.

The one the Pope used?

Such a dangerous spell…

Savior, we must not let this chance pass!

Yes, I know!

Raphtalia! Filo!

-Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny! -Spiral Strike!

Oh, Disciple Raphtalia!

Trying to run away now?

I, Ost Horai, command heaven and earth…

My powers, grant the Shield of the Cardinal Weapons strength!

-Do it! Raphtalia! Filo! -Okay!

I'll give you my strength too!

We did it.

Yes.

But now that we've defeated the Spirit Tortoise, Ost is…

Yes.

Marvelously done for a familiar.

Ost, Rishia is crying.

Thank you so much.

What?

Ost, you…

You're still alive. That means…

What?

Oh, right.

You're right.

It seems that the Spirit Tortoise still hasn't been defeated.
