Heroes

The Heroes (勇者) are individuals choosen by the legendary and vassal weapons who exist to save the world when it is faced with the destruction caused by the Waves.

Description
Althought also frequently appear in times of peace, but are not supposed to. There are in total twenty four actual heroes, twelve from Melromarc's world and another twelve from Glass' world, they are divided between the Four Saint Heroes and the Eight Vassel Heroes in both worlds, the former individuals must be summoned from another world (typically a parallel Japan) while the later eight are weaker but can be chosen from both summoned individuals and natives. Each Hero receives one of the corresponding weapons, each of which has its own method of strengthening unique unto itself, each hero has the ability to authorise a Class Up beyond the LV.100 cap and can acquire the strongest form of magic, Revelation-Class Magic, which is unique unto them. The Enhancement Methods can be shared by the Heroes, making the resulting weapons far stronger, thus the heroes are at their peak when all twelve are working together, however the weapons from Glass World and Melromarc's are incompatible for whatever reason and cannot share their Enhancement Methods.

Origins
The Four Saint Heroes originally all came from four different worlds which were fused over time by the waves into one world, each one originally had two Vassal Heroes serving under them. Melromarc's World is a fused form of two worlds, one which contained humans, holding the Legendary Spear and Sword, and the other a demi-human world once home to the Legendary Bow and Shield. Glass' world, which also has Four Holy Heroes, is assumed to have gone through a similar process.

Melromarc's World
As the ones that fight the waves for the sake of its people, the holy heroes are regarded as the protective gods of the world. This faith is repesented by the Church of the Four Heroes, the major religion of the world and the national relegion of most nations.

.Althought the holy heroes are equally worshiped on almost all the countries of the world, derivated faiths as the Church of the Three Heroes (Melromarc), and The Church of the Shield (Silvet) were born by the racial and political conflicts among extremist countires. So, while the bow, the spear and the sword are worshipped by Melromarc, the country that summoned the current generation of holy heroes, the shield is loathed by the country for various reasons, mostly for being a recurring ally to the demi-humans, towards whom Melromarc's people show open contempt.

Hero of the Sword
The hero chosen to wield the Legendary Sword, primarily noted to be the strongest in attack power. The Sword Hero's Enhancement Method revolves around proficiency.

The current Sword Hero is Ren Amaki.

Hero of the Shield
The hero chosen by the Legendary Shield, notable for having the highest defence among the heroes by far, easily able to endure attacks from the other weapon users, even when at a noticeably inferior level. The Shield Hero's exact Enhancement Method is unknown, but Naofumi himself relied on unlocking the passive abilities of all of his weapons, thus carrying their benefits over to the other forms, and also on the Growth Corrections of various series, which perfectly suits its user's role as a supporter in battle. The current Shield Hero is Naofumi Iwatani.

Its wielder is able to change the weapon on a great variety of hunting tools like a fishing rod, a tuna knife, a bow, etc. The Hunting Hero's Enhacement Method works like a level system, in which the wielder gain exp. points as them use a weapon, powering the weapon as the level rise and unlocking new kinds of hunting weapons.
