The exchange of attacks continued after that. The dukes returned and resumed their attacks. They made sure to maintain the pressure on her which allowed Xander to get her clones close enough for bites. But their effort was bringing less and fewer results. Beelta was killing more and more of them with her regurgitation.
Beelta always regurgitates anytime she has been pressured too much. Her regurgitation succeeded in taking the lives of 20 more demon dukes. It is too powerful. If they don't pressure her then Xander will have no success with her clones. But if they pressure her with attacks then she swallows them and uses them as ammunition against them.
There was a time that she killed a lot of them even without regurgitating. She opened withdrew her tongues and widened her maws. They thought she was about to regurgitate. It's what she does when she is about to regurgitate.
