The Heart of the Spirit Tortoise

The Heart of the Spirit Tortoise is the sixty-first chapter of The Rising of the Shield Hero manga adaptation.

Synopsis
Naofumi, his companions and the other Legendary Heroes have been taken hostage by the villainous Kyo. Ost and Rishia must free the heroes from Kyo's clutches in order to destroy the Spirit Tortoise's core and save their world.

Summary
Ost and Rishia are the only two of the Spirit Tortoise attack force remaining. The other members, including Naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo and the three missing heroes have been captured by Kyo and are having their power absorbed.

Against all odds, Rishia is skilled in battle - guiding Ost to dodge Kyo's attacks and destroying the container the three missing heroes were kept in. When Rishia is finally pushed down by the Spirit Tortoise's power, Kyo boasts about his new power. While Kyo is distracted, Ost teaches Naofumi to use dragon vein power like the Spirit Tortoise. With this new power, Naofumi powers up his companions so that they can move even with the Spirit Tortoise's super gravity spell working against them. Ost gives Naofumi her power and unlocks the powerful Spirit Turtle's Heart Shield. With this new powerup, Naofumi uses the shield to attack the Spirit Tortoise's core.
