Emilia:  "But that means it isn’t just me being targeted.” She felt bad for the soldier that she had used to test her theory, but now she was sure she knew what Volcanica’s aim was.

Emilia:  The Holy Dragon had been left behind, forgetting even about the examination, but even so, its determination to intercept all who tried to confront the pillar remained.
human
Emilia:  It did not matter whether they were alive or not. In which case, she had a plan. “Please, soldiers!”

Holy Dragon:  "—Thou who hath reached the tower’s peak, petitioner of omnipotence who treads upon the first floor.” Sensing the approaching soldiers, the Holy Dragon spoke again, but those words had become a meaningless string of noises.

Emilia:  Emilia felt a terrible loneliness at seeing the figure before her who had become a deaf puppet.
gpt
Emilia:  Volcanica had been trying to protect something so much that it had ended up in this terrible state. She didn’t know who or what it was, or why Volcanica had made such a promise, but…

Holy Dragon:  "—I am Volcanica. By ancient oath, I ask thy will.”

Emilia:  “Form a line!” Aiming to stop the dragon’s tail movements, she had five soldiers line up shoulder to shoulder.
human
Emilia:  Another odd sound came from the Holy Dragon’s tail as it swung hard to sweep them aside. The movement was similar to how Subaru’s whip moved, but the speed and force were on a completely different level.

Emilia:  Emilia could grab Subaru’s whip out of the air with her hand, but she couldn’t manage that with the dragon’s tail. It swept away the five ice soldiers lined up together and crouching to hold on. However, once Emilia knew it was coming, she knew a way to deal with it.
human
Emilia:  The ice soldiers were sturdier and thicker. Even as their bodies cracked, the soldiers who resembled Subaru smirked. And the last soldier leaped out from behind the line of five who had been enough to stop exactly one strike.
gpt
Emilia:  The final ice soldier alone had a different mission. It wielded what looked like a polearm with two forks meant to safely pin a person to the ground.
human
Emilia:  With the half circle formed by the two forks, the ice soldier pinned the tail against the ground to prevent another attack and—

Holy Dragon:  "—Thou who hath reached the tower’s peak, petitioner of omnipotence who treads upon the first floor.”
human
Emilia:  The six ice soldiers started celebrating with high fives when a sound rang out and their bodies shattered. Completely erased from the hips up, what was left of the ice soldiers collapsed. They hadn’t been defeated by the tail wriggling free, but by Volcanica’s claws.
gpt
Emilia:  As its tail was immobile, Volcanica swung its left front leg instead. The enormous force of the blow was more than enough to kill Emilia if she had been any less careful. “If your tail and legs are fine, then…argh! Why is your head the only thing empty? !”

Holy Dragon:  "—I am Volcanica.
