As Mary reached the other side of the swarm (many now regrouping and attempting to surround her now that she had stopped spinning) she viewed the gate closely. On queue, it shimmered with a light, before three demons launched out of it, poised to strike. Mary dashed backwards, right into the weapon of a lesser demon. Grunting at the gash now in her back, Mary sliced at the demons behind her to kill them, or at least make them retreat. As some dropped, they backed off, just a tad.

There was now a sort of "fight circle" around Mary and the three Fallen, but they would quickly begin closing in to try and overwhelm Mary surely. It would be better to just try and stay away from them for now. The Fallen were a much bigger threat. The main goal here was to get past them and destroy that gate before anything else could emerge from it. If she did that, even if she died fighting, lives would be saved. Prioritizing speed and range, the Burial Suit was stowed away in favor of her shiny new Jitte. It would fair much better than the scimitar in keeping the three away.

Dashing forward once again, Mary bounded towards the nearest demon, and used it as a springboard to launch herself both farther and faster then she would be able to normally. As she sailed through the tunnel, almost skimming the top of it, she aimed her Jitte to pierce the nearest Fallen, hopefully dragging it forward with her. When those things were out of the air, they'd be less of an issue. Still, she admittedly stood a fair chance of getting stabbed by the other two on the way down, but she hoped this move's spontaneity gave her enough time to dash away once she was on solid ground again.
