Ashley wasn't exactly having the best time fighting off her opponent. Not only could she not invade the mind of this monster, and even if she did , she was forced back to her body by just the memories and sheer evil that lurked around his mind. The only thing she could do now was fight back and defend herself against the blood arrows and spears that came at her with only a dagger.
She was losing blood badly, and the demon was not only pressuring her with his blood alone, it has also gone as far as weaponizing her own blood and using it against her. She was at great disadvantage here. She'd thought this would be an easy task, but now she could see why King didn't allow her engage in serious missions until now. These things were monsters, yet Wilson had termed them as weak, and had generalized that the society behind it was a small one. She could see now that these high tier Advocates were the real demons.
