Legendary Weapons

The Four Legendary Weapons are sometimes referred to as the Four Heavenly Weapons because of religions formed centering around the Legendary Heroes. The major religion in Melromarc is the Four Saints Faith that worship all the Legendary Heroes, but there is also a radical faction, Three Heroes Church, that worships the Legendary Sword, Spear and Bow. The major religion in Silt Welt is the Shield Faith that worships the Shield Hero only. After the final wave the legendary weapons, except for Naofumi's Shield, gained the ability to be summoned and dispelled by their owners at any time.

The Legendary Weapons have 3 basic ability categories that appear by default which indicate the weapon has been strengthened:

Other strengthening methods can be unlocked by simply believing they work.

History
The hero of the shield, alongside the other three Legendary Heroes, has been summoned repeatedly through history to defend against the Waves of Calamity when they surge up.

It is not known how many Heroes of the Shield there have been, with some indications that there has only been one, and some indications that there were in fact many. There have at least been two confirmed Heroes, the first one and his eventual successor Naofumi.

Legends about the previous Heroes of the Shield were erased from the records of the country of Melromarc.

According to Melromarc's queen, previous exploits of the heroes(or perhaps just one hero) include:

One previous Hero of the Shield sought for good relations between the Demi-humans and normal humans, Melromarc, being a human supremacist country, hated this idea, and it also stained the relationship of this Hero and his successors towards the other heroes. Because of his actions, Demi-human countries like Silt Welt, worship the hero of the shield and have a religion entirely devoted to them over the other three heroes, Melromarc, in response, gained a religion worshiping the other three heroes and denouncing the Shield as a devil.

A previous hero of the shield, which may or may not be the one above, lived luxuriously in the Demi-human kingdoms before he was mysteriously murdered, likely by the very people who worship him, making Naofumi convinced that Silt Welt is a fanatical country.

A previous hero of the shield, alongside his fellow heroes, fought with the Spirit Turtle and sealed it away by binding its heart with a spell. Since they left details telling future generations about how to kill the beast, yet warnings that it should not be killed, it's likely they chose to seal it due to the consequences that killing it would have had. = Owner = Iwatani Naofumi
