The moment Naofumi was accused during trial, he grits his teeth, growling and angry. 'That Bitch…! Is this just because I'm the Shield Hero?!'

'Screw this world…'

"If you hate the Shield so much…if you don't need the Shield… just destroy it then," Naofumi growls, his suggestion shocking everyone, "Break it, and destroy it! Or…" he smirks, "Are you not strong enough to?"

Naofumi lets out all of his killing intent and hatred, making the whole room shiver. Not getting an answer or hearing a peep, he walks away.


When the tip of L'Arc's scythe made contact with the shield's gem core...like really pierced the inside of it, it…cracked.

They both heard it.

"What…did you just do?"

Then…it quickly broke apart, shattering into pieces.

"You broke it…you actually broke it…" Naofumi blinks before he starts laughing hysterically.

"Uh… You mad Kiddo?" L'Arc asks, a bit confused.

Naofumi shakes his head, fighting off a few more giggles, "Thank you…"

"That shield…has been nothing but a curse to me… but now I'm free," he sighs, leaning on L'Arc's shoulder, "Seriously…thank you."

[All Cardinal Heroes' Blessings are void.]

L'Arc hugs him…since he now has no reason to kill him, "You're welcome, Kiddo."

"Kiddo?" L'Arc asks as Naofumi hasn't said anything more. Then he sees Naofumi asleep.

'The fight must've tired him out…' he smiles before using his scythe to bring Naofumi home with him. To his world since the Shield is no longer stopping him from leaving.
