These occluded Singularities' original environments have all been frozen over into these wintery landscapes, right?

[charaFace A 25]
＠Da Vinci
Basically, the concepts behind these worlds[line 2]or the space they occupy, if you prefer[line 2]have been shut down.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
They've been blocked from functioning as normal, like the name “occluded” suggests.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
So now, they just...exist. Complete entities unto themselves, neither affecting nor being affected by anything else.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Consequently, they look frozen solid, even though that's not technically what happened.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
For example, say you used some kind of fire magecraft or fire-based Noble Phantasm to burn an entire area here to the ground.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
It would definitely affect that area temporarily, but it wouldn't do anything to the base reality of the world itself.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Even with the bamboo forest from yesterday, Aśvatthāman was able to use his Noble Phantasm to make a simple path, but it would've been fundamentally impossible to destroy the forest itself.

To be honest...I don't really understand flavor.

＠Arjuna Alter
At most, I can tell if something[sr]is especially spicy or sweet.

I am not sure that I can taste the nuances of flavors in this food the way you all do.

Servant or not, you could still burn your mouth if you try to eat it all in just a few bites.

Here. Try bringing the spoon up to your lips and blowing on it before you take a bite.

See, neither Siegfried nor Sigurd will tell me any details about how they defeated their dragons.

Pretty much all they say is that they were so desperate to survive, that they don't remember anything.

Ah, yes, well...I'm afraid that's rather complicated.

＠Georgios
It may very well be that they simply are not able to tell you anything.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]
＠Georgios
You see, fighting a dragon is very different from fighting a typical monster.
[k]

＠Georgios
True dragons, like Fafnir, are born from an abundance of human greed, and are thus more like concepts than actual creatures.
[k]

＠Georgios
They are great lizards and formless demons all at once. Thus, defeating one demands the entirety of your being and ability.
[k]

＠Georgios
If you can't pull out every bit of strength you've gained from your life up to that point, the dragon will do it for you.
[k]

＠Georgios
That is the threat true dragons pose.
[k]

？1：Um... I'm not sure I get what you mean.
？！

[charaFace C 1]
＠Georgios
What I mean is, facing a dragon is no different from telling the story of your entire life.
[k]

＠Georgios
Describing the broad strokes is easy enough, but delving into details can soon become embarrassing.
[k]

＠Georgios
Not to mention that in many cases, we simply cannot recall some things any longer.
[k]

＠Georgios
That's why we can only discuss surface level tricks, like the best way to get your sword through their scales.
