Durga fought the demon Raktabija whose every drop of blood spawned a duplicate warrior. Unable to slay him by conventional means, Durga emanated Kali, who drank Raktabija's blood as fast as it spilled while Durga delivered the killing blow.
Kali slew Raktabija by spreading her tongue across the battlefield to catch every drop of his blood before it could touch the ground and spawn clones. She devoured his duplicates and drained the original dry, ending the demon's seemingly invincible regeneration.
