Inside the video.
It took the Servants only about a minute to deal with the Enforcement Knights.
Though these tin-clad knights looked strong, they were merely that—strong in appearance only.
The Servants cut through the Enforcement Knights like vegetables, clearing most of them. Then, another figure appeared on Fujimaru Ritsuka's bracelet.
This figure was Romani Archaman, also known as Dr. Roman.
In the video, his tone was very urgent. "Directly above, the magical energy observation value exceeds 3,000,000! Uh... since the firepower of a top-tier Noble Phantasm is between 1,000 and 3,000."
Realizing that what he was saying might be too difficult to understand, Dr. Roman sighed and said nervously, "In short, it's a level of heat that's beyond comparison! Everyone, retreat quickly! You'll be burnt to cinders!!"
"No, we can't leave yet. What about the villagers?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka rejected Dr. Roman's suggestion. If they were to leave, they had to take the villagers with them.
"That's right, we can't be the only ones to escape... Let's go regroup with the villagers who fled to the cave!"
Mash said the same. She gripped her shield tightly and looked up at the sky. At that moment, she seemed to see a blinding pillar of light about to fall to the ground.
Outside the video, Assassin of the Arm's favorable impression of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash increased greatly. These two young girls showed no fear in the face of the Artoria Pendragon's Holy Judgment, choosing instead to continue saving the villagers.
Based on this alone, Assassin of the Arm decided that if he ever met them...
He would absolutely treat them with the highest etiquette.
Meanwhile, in Chaldea, Da Vinci saw this and immediately headed in a certain direction. Although this ranking video had only just begun...
From various clues, it could be seen that the future shown in this video was likely the next Singularity that Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to head to.
That fellow Romani was probably watching Magical Merli right now; she had to tell him this information quickly.
Arriving at the control room, everyone was busy preparing for the journey to the next Singularity. However, since Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't actually set out yet, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
Most people were chatting while doing their work.
Sitting in the main seat was a man in a white lab coat with orange-Red Hair. He was currently looking at the Magical Merli channel on the multiverse projection, giggling foolishly. "Hehe! My Merli! My Merli!!"
"Merli my foot!" Seeing this, Da Vinci rolled her eyes and gave Roman a smack on the head with her staff.
Despite her having the most perfect figure and face, Roman barely gave her a second glance on a normal day. Yet he watched Magical Merli—starting from being completely uninterested...
...to becoming so obsessed he had to watch it every day at work. What kind of situation was this?
"Ouch!" Roman clutched his head. He turned around with teary eyes and looked at Da Vinci in confusion. "Da Vinci-chan, what happened?"
He watched Magical Merli quite often, but Da Vinci-chan had never hit him on the head with her staff before.
"Stop watching Magical Merli and go look at that video the multiverse projection strongly recommended. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash appear in it, and it has information about the next Singularity."
"Eh? The strongly recommended video? Is it that video I swiped past!?"
Dr. Roman was slightly stunned. He naturally knew about the video recommended by the multiverse projection.
It was a video recommended over ten minutes ago. It was just that at the time, Magical Merli was 'doing her thing', so he had casually swiped it away.
What special recommendation? He wasn't interested at all! Magical Merli was everything!
But since Da Vinci-chan had said so, Dr. Roman closed Magical Merli with a look of reluctance and then opened the video recommended by the multiverse projection.
Inside the video.
Just as the Servants were discussing what to do, a male voice suddenly spoke up.
"No, both are impossible. Whether it's running away or going to save them."
"No matter how you look at it, it's going to be a total wipeout. It was obvious from the start, wasn't it? As long as the opponent gets serious, this will inevitably be the outcome."
As soon as the male voice finished, Assassin of the Arm said indignantly, "Who's there! Stop acting like you know everything and show yourself! Ah! Lord Arash?!!"
To Assassin of the Arm's surprise, another figure appeared. He had a very gruesome sword scar on his body, and blood had stained half of his body red.
Through the screen's enlargement, many people saw just how serious the injuries of this being named 'Arash' were.
With such injuries, the fact that he could stand there and speak calmly was already a minor miracle.
Despite this, he still wore a very warm smile and looked at everyone. "Yo, sorry. I messed up and got easily knocked down into the valley."
"Sigh, after all that big talk about being able to hold out for two days, it ended up in this miserable state. Go ahead and complain, protest, or scold me as much as you like."
At this moment, Arash looked at the surrounding Village being swallowed by flames and sighed slightly. It was all because of him that this had happened.
"Mr. Arash... your injuries! They're already!" Mash's eyes widened upon seeing this, showing a shocked expression.
This kind of injury is already considered fatal, isn't it? Even a Servant shouldn't be able to ignore it.
"What nonsense are you talking!" To the side, Tripitaka saw Arash in this state and hurriedly said: "The one who should be scolded is you in your current state! Did you really drag your body back like this?"
"Sit down quickly, I need to chant sutras properly and teach you that you must cherish your own body."
Everyone was deeply concerned for Arash at this moment, because his injuries were too horrific; it was hard to imagine what kind of attack he had endured to end up like this.
As for failing to defend the Village, no one expected that two Knights of the Round Table would launch a sneak attack on this place.
The fact that Arash could hold out until they returned and protect some of the villagers was already quite incredible.
"Haha, I'm truly grateful, but I think I'll enjoy that later."
Arash laughed as he walked forward, looking at the golden pillar of light gradually appearing in the distance. Holding his simple longbow, he said calmly: "Though I've made a fool of myself, I've finally caught this chance to redeem my honor."
"Arash...?" Fujimaru Ritsuka stared blankly at him, momentarily failing to realize what was happening.
"I say, don't keep such a gloomy face."
"By the way, a tragic ending where everyone is wiped out after a fruitless struggle doesn't suit you either. So, I intend to give it my all for once."
"You guys should retreat to the cave as well. I'll leave the survivors to you."
