Viewing post in Yorna: Monster Girl's Secret comments
It’s a matter of skill and potential. Yorna is an ancient monster girl and while she hasn’t returned to her full power at the moment of the boss fight, she’s still very strong.

Imagine you are playing tug-of-war with a first-grader. Most likely he won’t be able to do anything. Swap the child with a pro powerlifter and suddenly the situation changes dramatically.
