The Rising of the Shield Hero Episode 18 English Subbed

Fitoria takes Naofumi and his party to a place near one of the Heroes so that he can start reconciling with them. Parting ways, Naofumi’s party arrives at an outpost where they meet Motoyasu, who Naofumi attempts to reason with. But Motoyasu refuses to listen, accusing Naofumi of killing Ren and Itsuki. As Naofumi tries to question him, Malty affirms a Church official found evidence against Naofumi. Their fight escalates into a full battle between Naofumi and Motoyasu’s parties, with Naofumi’s side winning despite the severe level gaps. Suddenly, Filo senses impending danger from above and convinces Naofumi to use multiple shields to defend against a massive ray of light that soon after incinerates everything around them. The attack was sent by the Pope Balmus and his followers, revealing he ordered Ren and Itsuki’s deaths as part of his plan to kill the “false heroes” and the princesses in order to overthrow the monarchy. Pope Balmus then draws a magical sword and prepares to attack both parties.
