I just wanted to say something impressive, but I wouldn't use a Noble Phantasm anyway...
He is a general. Even Rama can’t find a way to escape now.
Is it possible that someone can save him this time?
"I am really unwilling to not be able to see Sita..."
suddenly.
"Whoosh-!!!"
The air was burning, and a sound like fire falling from heaven suddenly rang out above the heads of the three people.
Cu Chulainn Alter, who reacted the fastest, raised his head suddenly, and when he saw what it was, his pupils shrank immediately.
"What……?!"
When exactly?
Without the three of them noticing, a ball of flaming fire with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly appeared above their heads and was falling towards their center at a rapid speed!
"boom!!!"
A huge ball of fire fell, accompanied by a terrifying explosion. With the three people as the center, the area within a radius of hundreds of meters instantly turned into an orange-red sea of fire, and everything in it was engulfed by the flames.
However, the next second, ominous scarlet magic power suddenly burst out from the sea of fire in a spiral shape, dispersing the sea of fire that enveloped them.
"Boom!"
Cu Chulainn Alter dropped the magic spear to the ground, and the unknown magic power on the spear dissipated.
"Has he been rescued?"
Looking at Rama who had disappeared on the spot, Cu Chulainn Alter seemed to be thinking about something.
"Who is it? Didn't you even see the other person's appearance clearly?"
At the moment the fireball fell, Maeve, who had hidden in the chariot's treasure, stuck her head out of the car and looked at the surrounding land that was burned and distorted, and she couldn't help but frowned.
"No, that person is either incredibly fast or has the ability to hide his own treasure. Anyway, I didn't see it."
Cu Chulainn Alter grinned.
It seemed as if he didn't care at all that Rama was rescued.
"But the fire just now was created by Rune. It was so strong, and it was cast without me even noticing. Could it be that old woman?"
Cu Chulainn Alter thought about it and guessed.
But then he immediately overturned this conjecture.
"No, that's not right. That old woman is not that fast. Besides, saving people without even showing her face is not her style at all."
He knew very well what the old woman's situation was like.
"Oh? So there's another Servant that was summoned that we didn't know about?"
Maeve's expression turned serious when she heard this.
"Oh, this is really troublesome... But never mind. It's useless to rescue Rama anyway. A curse of that level cannot be lifted unless a saint appears here."
Maeve gave up thinking and waved her hand with a smile.
"But for safety's sake, let's get rid of the person who was summoned with him first!"
As she spoke, Maeve smiled like a little devil.
Cuchulainn Alter didn't know Sita, but she knew!
Although it is unclear what use that woman with not very high fighting ability has, it will definitely not be worse to kill her in advance.

Chapter 100: Dead Heart.
On a vast wilderness plain, the sun at almost noon shines directly on it.
The ground was pitted and littered with debris—twisted metal, broken wood, and bits of equipment that had been blown away and scattered everywhere.
Even the air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder, mixed with the scent of scorched earth and withered grass.
This is a microcosm of the brutal war that has taken place on this American land. Since Lin Qi came here, almost every place he has passed through has traces of similar wars.
It may sound a bit exaggerated, but both sides of the war on this land are not easy to deal with.
On one side is Maeve, who relies on the power of the Holy Grail to produce almost unlimited troops.
On the one hand, relying on the power of Type-Moon's scientific and high-tech, Edison is also almost unlimited in its military output - although due to limited resources, it is probably stretched to the limit now.
If they continue to fight like this, Lin Qi wouldn't be too surprised even if there is war everywhere.
However, Lin Qi doesn’t want to care about this at the moment. He is more concerned about the problem at hand.
The scenery on both sides quickly receded from sight, and Lin Qi's figure was speeding across the plain like a black line.
And on his back was Rama, who was cursed and had basically lost his ability to fight.
That’s right, it was Lin Qi who rescued Rama from Cu Chulainn and Alter.
After arriving at the fifth singularity, the first thing he decided to do was to look for Rama's trace.
There is no other reason, it’s just that Rama is strong enough to be a friendly party that can be won over.
In the original plot, except for lying dead for a while at the beginning, after the curse was lifted, he was the MVP of the entire singularity strategy.
What's more, the other party's condition was quite urgent, so Lin Qi made finding Rama his top priority from the beginning.
However, Lin Qi did not expect that Rama's condition would be so tense that he was almost killed by Black Dog and Maeve.
He was so frightened that he used Rune as quickly as possible to drop a ball of fire that was large enough to cover his figure, and then he pulled Rama out.
"You're obviously looking for Yu's wife, why are you more anxious than Yu?"
Looking at the speed which was much faster than his own full speed, Rama on Lin Qi's back couldn't help but speak.
Under the effect of [Heart Fire], the two of them united as one within seconds of meeting each other and decided to go to where Sita was.
However, this method of getting to know each other on the spot made Rama, who had become a burden, feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to have a chat and get to know this master who seemed to have descended from heaven like a divine soldier.
"You are anxious, so I am anxious."
Lin Qi answered casually without changing his speed.
Because he was with someone, he couldn't use his [Tiger, Burning Brilliantly] normally, and its consumption increased a lot, so he could only use it intermittently.
But even so, it wouldn't take long for Lin Qi to cross America at almost full speed.
Rama felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Now that Lin Qi is so anxious, it seems that it is really his problem...
After they met, he also learned that Lin Qi had the ability to expand his mind and detect other people's moods.
Although Rama looked quite calm, his heart had already flown to Sita, and he was madly looking forward to meeting Sita.
This anxiety naturally also reflected on Lin Qi's side.
"...Do you think I can see Sita?"
Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to Sita, Rama suddenly felt uneasy again.
In Rama's own legendary adventure, he was cursed by "man" - "Even if you can save your wife, you will never be able to share this joy."
This curse may seem insignificant, but coincidentally, the gods and humans in India seem to have a "weak curse" feeling, and many powerful beings are tortured by various curses.
The same thing happened to the cursed Rama. He finally rescued Sita, but for various reasons they could not truly be together until his death.
Therefore, if Rama participated in the Holy Grail War, his wish would definitely be "to meet Sita again."
"……I have no idea."
Lin Qi was silent for a moment and wanted to tell a lie, but under the effect of [Fire of the Heart], the lie would definitely be exposed, so he could only speak vaguely.
But in his heart, Lin Qi still had to sentence Rama to death for his expectations.
As someone who was barely familiar with the plot, Lin Qi certainly knew that even if they met, Rama would become blind and lose his sense of touch due to the effect of the curse.
Sita was much the same.
[Fire of Heart] also conveyed Lin Qi’s pessimism to Rama.
"Is this so..."
Rama couldn't help but smile bitterly.
How could he not think so? But he couldn't help but look forward to meeting her again, and couldn't help but hope that the curse would be ineffective.
Lin Qi fell silent when he realized that he had accidentally revealed his true thoughts.
"You're so badly injured, so don't talk. Be careful not to get a mouthful of sand."
Lin Qi chose to change the subject.
"This looks like a serious injury! Besides the fact that he is in excruciating pain and can't fight seriously, he can still hold out for a long time!"
Rama refuted strongly.
Lin Qi didn't say anything, and the two fell silent again.
The reason for not talking was not anything else, but that Lin Qi suddenly felt so despicable.
He knew clearly that even if he brought Rama to find Sita, the two would never be able to meet each other because of the curse.
The best outcome is that Sita sacrifices herself in exchange for a full-health Rama.
“So I’m doing this just for Rama’s fighting power…”
Rama, who could sense Lin Qi's mood, looked up at him who suddenly became depressed and couldn't help but laugh.
"Master, you are too upright. This will cause you to suffer."
Rama shook his head with emotion.
"It is not mean to want the help of a powerful helper. What matters is what you do. Besides, it is me who wants to see Sita. You are just obeying my wish."
"As for the curse, I also knew about it, but... I didn't expect it to take this form that would prevent me from seeing Sita."
Rama said this, his tone becoming lost.
Lin Qi was just about to try to comfort Rama, but suddenly he felt a strong sense of sadness and anger entering his heart.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he heard Rama's low voice filled with loss.
"No need to continue, the remaining Sita... has already left here..."
His legends are basically all related to Sita, so when he was summoned, he naturally had a special connection with Sita, and he knew very well what state Sita was in.
Lin Qi opened his mouth when he heard this, but finally chose to remain silent.
Rama's heart was dead.
As a heroic spirit, Rama's only obsession was Sita. Without hope of "seeing Sita", he also lost the will to fight.
Besides, no one here except Sita has the ability to remove the curse from him.
Lin Qi, who was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, slowed down his pace and finally stopped on the road.
"...Just let me lean against the stone next to you, please."
……

Chapter 101: The power to do whatever you want!
Lin Qi followed Rama's instructions and let him sit and lean against the stone next to him.
"I've spent so much effort... but I still can't see Sita..."
Rama lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hands.
In fact, knowing that he was destined to never see Sita because of the curse, he had already decided that as long as he could "see" Sita for a moment, he would lend his power to Lin Qi, which just met the two conditions that he could help but would not let Sita sacrifice herself.
