Edward was never the kind of person prone to melodrama. When confronted with a situation, she stayed composed, clear-headed, and methodical. However, when it came time to act, she never hesitated. Moreover, upon realizing something was unachievable, she would retreat decisively, never clinging to appearances or stubbornly attempting the impossible.
Just like this time. Initially, she had no intention of interfering, merely lamenting the impending loss of another first kill. However, when Li Yao stood in the middle, and the Green Dragon Princess indicated she wouldn't intervene for the moment, Edward decisively seized the opportunity and struck without reservation.
But the two of them couldn't overcome Li Yao, and instead, he turned the tables, forcing them into a relentless retreat. Despite the numerous escape mechanisms of her Flying Demons form, Li Yao's successive attacks hunted her down. Again, she didn't hesitate to retreat when the opportunity arose.
