When Sugrīva carried this information to Śumbha, and Niśumbha, they felt amused that a woman challenged them to fight. But, they had no alternative but to fight. So they deputed the mighty daitya Dhūmrākṣa with an army to fight Devī, and there ensued a fierce fighting between Devī and Kālikā on one side and the big daitya on the other side. The whole army and finally Dhūmrākṣa too was killed.
