Fujimaru Ritsuka slipped into a slight haze of consciousness.
She was undoubtedly a strong and resilient person, but faced with the situation before her, even Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had walked through eight Singularities on her own two feet, could not help but fall into panic and despair.
Attacking would be useless. Defending would only intensify the enemy's assault. There was no route of escape. Worse still, Chaldea—her headquarters, the base that allowed her to fight within the Singularities, which had never encountered any problems before—was now under attack as well.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's pupils trembled. If Chaldea had still been intact, it should have provided her with fairly strong physical protection. But Chaldea itself was barely holding on, so
