And here's basically what happens in that video in case you didn't understand it...
[spoiler]Basically Shinji blocks Meltlilith's way by using his Wakame-walls and then lets himself get killed by her and absorbed by her, as Shinji inserting a virus into his body or turned his body into a virus because he knew Melty would absorb him as she did to other NPCs and Master to increase her level to LV999 (which makes her invincible to the MC and Servant to beat and even with cheats if you fight her prior to this you will die) and by absorbing him into her body he de-leveled her with LV-999 making her LV1 again.
Here's a summary of how the scene played out... posted by the same guy who posted the video:
"Shinji blocks Melt from getting to the MC in the arena with his firewall, he confronts her ,saying he's here to commit suicide and then you see what you see at the start of the video, he gets impaled and Melt says he got what he wished, saying who's the one looking horrible now? A master without his servant is just human, no...simply just experience points. She says she will absorb him down to 1 Kb or not... even smaller then that.
She goes on to say that he should be happy that his talents will be all hers.
Thats when she felt the effects of her levels taking a plunge of minus 999. Turns out Shinji took in a virus that depleted his own lvl by 999 and in turn by being absorbed,Melt loses 999 lvls.
To Shinji, he enjoys beating down weak opponents but he (Gamer Pride)prides himself that he does it with own abilities and not through cheating like Melt who absorbs others to power up.
Melt retreats saying she will wait for new individuals and she will absorb them and will come after them when she has restored her lvls.
As he is lying down dying he says that he remembers the past and as much he hates to admit, he lost to MC. And till now he still hates MC,but is aware that MC shed tears for him.
He says even though he was afraid and all, if he doesn't do it, who would cry for him.
He says that MC was his real and first friend.
After he perished, all his records and information is gone from the registry and Sakura says that they are the only ones who remembers him and even Rin said his Gamer's Pride was cool."
