She knew full well that the only way to minimize the threat from the Mechanical Falcon was to never give it an opportunity to separate her from Yu Gan.
Milady dropped and rolled, but she never loosened her grip on Yu Gan's collar. Instead, she yanked Yu Gan toward her, using her as a human shield.
Just as she'd expected, with the rules no longer a concern, the Mechanical Falcon was like a completely different creature.
Even when she narrowly dodged a direct attack from its wings, it would still graze past her and suddenly fan out its steel feathers. It was like countless thin blades sliding from their sheaths, ready to slice through clothing, skin, and muscle. After even the briefest contact, it would leap back into the sky, its wingtips scattering a beaded curtain of blood.
If she hadn't acted so quickly and clung tightly to Yu Gan, the fight would have already devolved into a one-sided slaughter.
