Legendary Weapons/Web Novel

The Four Legendary Weapons (伝説武器) are the weapons used by the Legendary Heroes. They are later referred to as the Four Heavenly Weapons (聖武器), since many religions formed centering around the Legendary Heroes. The major religion in Melromarc is the Four Saints Faith that worship all the Legendary Heroes equally, but there is also Three Heroes Church, a radical faction who dislikes Demi-Humans, that only worships the Legendary Sword, Spear and Bow, excluding the Shield, a guardian of Demi-Humans. In comparison, the major religion in Siltvelt 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. As a result of the world fusing with Glass's World, there became a total of 8 Holy Weapons since the world being a fusion of 8 different original worlds. While the new Heroes of the Legendary Weapons are summoned in later generations, the Shield has not reappeared due to Naofumi still possessing the Shield as a God.
