Knowing that she needed the dream floaters to continue biting into her, Scaly had to keep up the battle for as long as possible without revealing the fact that she could now move through the sky of the dreamscape, a fact that would undoubtedly cause these dream floaters to give up and try to escape.

Even if hundreds of them perished, it was clear that these dream floaters considered it worth it if they could take down a large target like Scaly.
