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 the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom's demolition units

to assume their positions.

As you command.

I will assume command of the demolition units.

We wish you luck.

"The Earth Quakes"

You were the Queen's aide–de–camp.

What do you want?

I moost sey, 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?

Yeah.

You're our only swordmanship 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!

Batallion!

Company!

Company!

Draw!

Draw!

Shields!

Forward!

Is that...

Oh!

Look! That flag!

It's the Hero!

The Shield Hero!

Shield Hero!

I am no match for you.

Raising the troops' morale with only a flag?

I see.

That's why you raised that flag?

That's only one part. Soon, it'll be a sign of where on the battlefield to avoid.

Because we're going to pull those soon.

Huh?

Rishia.

Y–Yes!

All right.

Let's do this!

(Break to the chain)

(Time to fight again)

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

Two worlds coming together

Falling shading

Before getting bewildered

Pass the limits

Kick it up a notch, never giving up

Don't seek, I find

Infinite futures, in pieces, like a vein

Give me some trill

I never ever end

Rising up

To bring in tomorrow, I'm the chosen one

So not to be drowned by the constant waves

I fight, finding a way

Bring back! Bring it back

Learning from sacrifice and suffering

(Gotta bring back!)

Change heart from the very depths

(I gotta change, right now)

Stand up! As many times

Rise up, go break it now

(Go break it harder!)

I'm not alone, I already know

That's why I'll fight back

Ay yo stand up, over and over

Lemme get hurt, I'm a fighter

Still gotta conquer

Never be apart

No one can break the bonds between us

No matter what

Like I can't tell a lie

My mind, go with the flow

Got a dilemma right here

Now make a change

Never gonna stop, I'll break hesitation and weakness

I'm always fighting to break to the chain

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!

Yeah!

String them now!

It's here!

Single column!

Single column!

Single column!

Prepare to loose!

Master Naofumi!

Looks like they managed to lead it there.

W–We can't run any farther!

Damn!

Filo, stop!

We take out all the familiars here!

–Okay! –Yes!

A–A–All of them?!

We might be taken out instead.

Disciple Rishia! Steel yourself!

Y–Yes!

I, Ost Horai, command heaven and earth to break law and recombine, spitting up rot!

My powers, elevate the gravity of those before me!

Gravitic enhancement!

Settle!

Is this...

Is she manipulating gravity?

I've never heard an incantation like that before.

Only a few monsters can use this spell.

Now! Hurry!

Raphtalia! Filo!

Rishia! Old lady!

–Okay! –Yes!

Loose!

Yin–Yang Sword!

Hengen Muso Secret Technique! Crescent Moon!

Dreife Tornado!

They're amazing!

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

I moost 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!

Loose!

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 Spirit Tortoise Kingdom'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 Spirit Tortoise Kingdom shared his fate with the collapsing fortress.

I see.

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

Now, we just need to cut off its head.

Hm...

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...

O–Oh, this! This is it!

This is...

Ost! What's wrong?

For now, let's get closer and–

Naofumi!

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.

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!

Th–Thank you.

We'll just need to torture it to death!

I'll have to do it.

Everyone, get in the cart!

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!

The Spirit Tortoise has halted its march,

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

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!

Charge at a distance!

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

Hang in there... Hang in there!

The ritual spell? You don't mean...

Yeah. Our last resort.

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

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

Even if it isn't a fatal blow,

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

Yeah.

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

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

That seems 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!

Huh? What's that thing?

"Spirit Tortoise Familiar Type: Amalgamated Parasite"

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...

Yeah. Judgment.

Th–The one the Pope used?

Such a dangerous spell...

Savior, we must not let this chance pass!

Yeah, I know!

Raphtalia! Filo!

–Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny! –Spiral Strike!

Oh! Disciple Raphtalia!

And you're going to try 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! –Yes!

I–I'll give you my strength too!

We did it.

Yeah.

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

Yeah...

Marvelously done for a familiar.

Big Sister Ost, Big Sister Rishia's crying.

Thank you so much.

Ost, you...

You're still alive. That means...

Huh?

Oh, right. Right...

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

Even if the clock hands turn back

We found something that'll last

The desire to be there for one another

The wish and the bonds that we share

Even if it all goes back to zero

Even if it's the end of the world

I'll rush through time to you

And promise you won't be alone

These eyes

Are for watching over you

This voice

Is for guiding you

These hands

Are for holding you

This time

Is for making sure you have a tomorrow

Believing in you

That's all we need to do

It's what lets us grow stronger

Than anyone else

You taught us that

Ever since that day

That unchanging light

Even if the time comes for us to part

We'll be sure to find you again
