The chanting had already completed, and she felt the effects taking effect.
Her body felt lighter and more agile in time for her to be able to move away at a moment's notice.
She timed it perfectly to get out of the way of the creature that was leaping toward her and took out one of the Tonfa, which was swung out toward it.
She felt the impact from it as the Tonfa connected with the creature with enough force to send it falling back toward the ground.
Ash had already slotted the Tonfa back in its place before starting another process of chanting.
Her body was on the move as she continued chanting, allowing her to keep track of the creature.
She circled it just as it landed, clearly showing signs of being in pain from the impact of the wooden Tonfa, playing a role in damaging it enough to make it not be able to recover so quickly.
